Sit everyone in a big circle at a table or on the floor so that there is a center. Basically you want everyone to be an equal distance from the center. If this is not possible we have a variation for this.

Now ask everyone to grab their purse and take a seat. Now take an empty plate, paper plate preferably, and you put it down in the middle of the room. Inform the guests that you are going to read a list of items and the first person to place that item on the plate scores a point and at the end of the game the person who has the most points wins a prize.

Prize options: Have a small prize every round, each round is worth a raffle ticket to win a prize at the end of the game.

Large Group Option – Instead of placing items on a plate, tell guests they must have the item in their hand and held above their head and state I have “___.” This way no one will get injured diving for the plate. Also have a penalty for those people who yell out they have it before they have it in their hand. (Maybe have them do something silly – this will reduce false claims.)  

You will need to create a list of items that are found in a purse, you may also want to include a few not so common items too.

Examples:
Drivers license, pen, receipt, checkbook, credit card, a quarter, spoon, lipstick, hand cream, condom, etc… you can get a little wild depending on the group.

The bridal shower hostess calls these things out one at a time and the first person to rifle through their purse, find the item and put it on the plate gets a point. (see prize options above)

FYI – Be sure to remove the object off the plate before the next object is called. It is important so you get a clear view of whose thing gets on the plate first since it could be a scramble.

At the end if you want to give out a prize you can either do it to the person with the most items thrown down first wins....or if the room is divided into two with chairs you can work it as a team effort and give the half of the room that threw down the most things first as the winners.
Thanks, Adrienne
