We've compiled a group of unique and tasteful entertaining games for your bridal shower and are certain that these activities will be as enjoyable as they are amusing. We suggest you take your time and look through our list of games that we have found, after quite a bit of research, to really work. It may be tempting to use a variety of ones we have listed, but keep in mind that the best showers are the ones that have a few games but are unique enough to keep the entertainment of your shower fresh in the guests' minds long after the big day has passed. So relax, pick a few of your favorites and enjoy the last couple months of planning this once in a lifetime event with the help of weddingFAVORites.com.

Model Bride

Divide the guests (minus the bride) into teams of four. Each team is given four rolls of white toilet paper and given 15 minutes to design a wedding dress. Each team chooses a "model bride" to design a dress for and wrap her in a toilet paper gown within the time limit. Now comes time for the real bride-to-be to choose which gown is the most beautiful. That team is awarded a bridal shower gift. The gown looks great in pictures!

On Her Wedding Night

As the bride opens her gifts, have one of the bridesmaids write down her reactions. She might say stuff like “I love it!” and “Where does this go?” After she’s opened up all the gifts, the bridesmaid reads her reactions and says that this is what the bride will be saying on her wedding night! 

Don’t Forget You Can’t….Oops!

Each guest is given a safety pin to clip on her clothes as she arrives. Assign two or three things that are natural to do at a bridal shower that may not be done at this one. Things such as crossing your legs, saying the grooms name, mentioning the honeymoon destination. If one of the other guests catches you doing them then she can have your clothespin. The guest who collects the most clothespins wins. As the day progresses, everyone gets into the game!  

Bridal Bingo

Make your own Bridal Shower Bingo. Before the day of the bridal shower, make blank grids to look like bingo cards. As the guests arrive, have them fill out the grid with gifts that they think the bride will receive (white candle, pink slip, lotion, etc.). The free space is the one in the middle, have the guests write in the item they brought as a gift. As the bride opens her gifts, the guests cross it off their bingo card. Whoever gets five in a row, across or diagonally first gets Bingo!

A Fight Till The End

Wrap five bridal shower gifts. Make one a gag gift (example: roll of toilet paper) that you wrap most beautifully and the others (lotions, perfume, etc.) should be wrapped with a little modesty. Now get two decks of cards. One deck is passed out to all the guests. Have the guests look at their hand of cards. Use the second card deck to call out numbers (like in Bingo). Call out one card at a time as you turn them over. Whoever has that card may go and pick a gift of their choice. When all the gifts have been passed out continue flipping over the cards. This time whoever has the card called may take a gift from someone else. When all the cards from the second deck have been called, the five people who have the last five cards get to keep their gifts. In the end, everyone with gifts opens them for all to see. The guest who thought they got the best gift of all ends up with the gag gift plus it’s a great laugh for those who were fighting to get the best one.

How well do you know her?

Give each guest a piece of paper and a pen. Have a bunch of personal questions about the bride to ask (her age, wedding color scheme, her mother's maiden name, her fiance’s parents names, favorite TV show/movie, shoe size, etc.). The guest that answers the most correct wins. A great conversation starter. A variation to the game is to ask questions about the couple. Where they met, first date, first kiss, time period of engagement, etc.

OR

A bridesmaid can call the groom before the shower and asks him all types of questions about the bride. Questions like "Who was her first crush”, "What was the name of her first pet", and "What high school did she attend?" During the shower all the guests have a chance to answer the questions. Whoever gets the most questions right wins.

Famous Wives

On small pieces of paper write the names of famous wives such as Marge Simpson, Peg Bundy, Nicole Kidman, etc. Each guest randomly draws a nametag to wear throughout the shower. On the back of each nametag is a number. Towards the end of the shower instruct the guests to turn over their nametags and display the numbers instead. Each guest then tries to remember who each person was. Great way to get people mingling!

Pass it on

Before the day of the shower, wrap a gift intended for the bride-to-be several times. After each wrapping, write a little note for example, "Pass this to the girl with the longest hair." As gift is passed around, each person removes one wrapping and passes it to the next person according to what the next note says. The game begins and ends with the bride-to-be. The last note should say something like, "Pass this to the person most likely to get married in the next month.” Try to design your notes according to your guest list to make sure everyone gets a chance.

How Well Does “She” Know “Him”?

Entertain them while they eat cake. The future sister-in-law (if there is one) sits in front with the bride and tests how well she knows her groom-to-be. (His favorite song, his middle name, his favorite restaurant, etc.) Before the shower, the groom is asked the same questions. For each answer she gets right, she receives a gift. For each she gets wrong, she draws a name of a guest out of a bag and THEY get the prize! Everyone enjoys the game in anticipation of winning a gift!

Dig in Your Purses

Divide the guests into teams of three. Provide each team with a list of items to be found in their purses. Assign each item a certain number of points. The most likely to be found item such as compact is assigned 1 point and a less likely item such as a toothbrush is assigned something like 20 points. The team with the most points wins!

Memory Cards

Send each guest a 3x5 card in their invitation. The guests are told to right a unique memory they have with the bride without giving away their name. During the shower the bride reads the cards aloud and has to guess who wrote the memory. Everyone gets to know each other better and the bride ends up with a stack of memories as a keepsake.

Confession

Give each guest 5 pieces of candy. Start with the bride who must confess one thing she's never done for example “I have never lied”. Any guest who HAS done what was confessed must eat one piece of the candy they were given. Keep going until every guest has had a chance to confess once or someone who has done it all is out of candy. Two people win, one with the most candy, and one with no candy!

Love Songs

Prior to the shower, create a tape of about 10-15 clips from popular love songs. Play the tape for the guests and have them try to guess the name of the song and the artist/group that sings that particular song. The person with the most correct wins!
