Wedding Shower Games for Everyone! Don't say "BRIDE or WEDDING" Each guest receives a clothes pin as they arrive and it is explained to the guests only once: If you catch someone saying the word 'bride or wedding' you can take their clothes pin. At the end of the shower the quest with the most clothes pins wins a small favor or gift. Word Scramble Use a sheet of paper to create the original list, then either print out the master copy or photocopy the sheet for your guests. Come up with a list of wedding items on a piece of paper, 15-25 is good. Look over the list and determine which 10-15 would be fun for a word scramble (if you used all the letters in the word, but placed them in a different order. Example: wedding gown - would be dinwged nowg.) Give the guests the sheet to unscramble and give them 5-10 minutes to figure out. The quest with the most correct wins. Increase difficulty: Use bride's last name or future name-to-be. Who Wants To Be The Bride Here's how the "Millionaire" game can be adapted to your wedding shower. Rather than a million dollars, you offer a mystery gift in a nicely wrapped box. First come up with 15 questions about the bride and the groom that will lead to stories about the future couple. Then, get the correct answers add make up 3 incorrect answers for each question. Before you play, organize the questions from easy to difficult. When To Play: Before opening gifts everyone is given a pad and paper and the 1st question is read and 4 answers are given, put the answers on a large piece of paper for everyone to see (one page per question). Each guest writes down what they believe the correct answer, should take 15-30 seconds. Now everyone shows the answer answer they selected. Those who answered correctly continue to play. Now the bride-to- be can expand on the question (How did you first meet?) while opening the first gift. The questions continue until there is just one person playing and she receives the gift. Note: 1 question is read before the opening of each gift. The combination of hearing the stories behind the question keeps this part of the shower interesting for all. Pass The Box (Can be used for any type of shower) This is really fun, Take a small gift, like a pretty candle and place it in a box, then gift wrap it, but keep wrapping it with different layers of giftwrap. Play some music while passing the present around, when the music stops, the guest left holding it unwraps the first layer of wrapping paper, then the music starts again and the box is passed, then everytime the music stops, another layer is removed until someone finally unwraps the very last layer,,,,, and that is the winner. The Wedding Dress Game The guests are divided up into several groups and given a roll of toilet paper. The teams are told that they must create a wedding dress using only the roll one toilet paper. One member of the team becomes the model and the rest decorate. Give them 3-5 minutes to create the dress. The bride will judge that results and declare a winner. Make sure to have the camera ready for this one. A great way to get everyone involved.
Penny For Your Thoughts Introduction Game - Have two pennies from the same year, you have a different year for each guest. Example:15 guests, 30 pennies, 15 different years. When a guests arrives they are given a penny and the other penny is put in a jar. When all the guests have arrived the bride-to-be selects a penny and the person with the penny with that corresponding year tells a little about themselves, how they know the bride, and maybe a little story about the bride. After everyone has spoken the Bride-to-be puts her pennies into the jar and selects one to win a prize. An easy ice breaker game. Hot Potato Have your guests sit in a circle and hand out a box. Tell your guests that they must pass the box around the room and when the music stops or a timer goes off the person with the box wears, carries, completes the action noted in the box for the remainder of the shower. Examples: Wear a rose, carry a camera, wear a funny hat, say a phrase every time someone says bride, the guest must say "to be married on June 14th." Got the idea, you can adapt it to what works for yor shower. Most guests will think there is something bad in the box, but can be whatever you want. For more fun have more than one box with a fun item in one, a silly item, an action item, etc... Enjoy watching them pass the box like crazy. Bride Leaves the Room Ask the bride to leave the room. Have a sheet with 10-15 questions about the brides eye, hair, height, shoes, etc... that involve visual elements. The guests answer the questions on the form, after a few minutes the bride walks back in the room and everyone determine how many answers they got correct. The guest with the most correct answers wins a prize. In case of a tie, have a tie breaking question. Battle of the Sexes - For A Couples Shower Combat was never so fun! The aim of the game is to test your knowledge of the opposite sex through a series of gender-based questions. Buy Now! Pass The Carrot Pick a long carrot and each person has to pass it to the person beside them...between their knees!! Every time someone drops it you have to cut off about an inch. And when the carrot is so small that you can't pass it anymore the person who has the carrot at the end without dropping it wins. Guess the Spice Get 10 or more different spices, new containers. Cover the outside of the container, so you cannot read the name and attach a name to each spice. When everyone has arrived pass the spice around one at a time. You can say your guess out loud after everyone has smelled the spice or have them write their answer on a piece of paper. The paper method tends to work best. After all the spices have been passed, announce the number and have each person state the state their answer. Then remove the label and give the correct name. Give a prize to the guest who got the most right and give the spices to the bride. Bake Us A Cake Set up a table with all the ingredients for baking a cake (flour, sugar, eggs, etc) then add a few extra ingredients that don't belong - baking soda (often confused with baking powder), spices, oil, etc... anything goes. Then supply all the tools for mixing and baking the cake. The bride is than told she must make a cake, from scratch. The bride is not allowed to use a book, she must use her memory or just be very creative. She must tell an assistant how much of each ingredient should go into the cake and how long to bake and at what temperature the cake should bake at. Do this at the beginning so the cake will be done baking when she is finished opening gifts. It is then taken out of the oven for her to taste test. Make sure the camera is ready when she takes her first bite. White Stuff Fill sandwich bags with the following cooking items: flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda, powdered sugar, cornstarch, cream of tartar, powdered milk, unflavored gelatin, Bisquick. Number each bag and keep a list. Guests are allowed to feel and look at the bag, but not open it. They guess what is in each bag. The person with the most answers gets the prize. The Tray Game Played at baby showers, bridal showers or anywhere. What you'll need a tray and other household items, examples below. Everyone is handed a piece of paper and a pen. The object of the game is to see who can remember the most items on the tray. A tray full of items is brought out with a towel over it covering the contents of the tray. The tray is uncovered and placed in the center of the room preferably on a table. The guests have exactly two minutes to look over the tray. The tray can be rotated so that it can be seen from other angles but no touching the contents. After the minute is up everyone writes down what they remember. The person who remembers the most gets a prize. To be successful you should have a lot of things on the tray, and a list of what is on the tray. Bridal Shower-bottle of aspirin, lipstick, keys, invitation, garter, pen, sample size lotion, fork, pantyhose, strand of pearls, condom, picture, small book, glove, thong underwear, business card, mascara, etc...

Get To Know You and Pick Teams Game This is the game you play before you play games. Its a fun way to break-the-ice when guests don't know each other, and you may not be sure the best way to divide up teams. - Say you have
20 guests - and need 5 teams of four people each Make a list of everthing the bride-to-be says while opening her gifts..."oooh", "aaahhh", "I've never had one of these", everything. After she finishes, make up a quick short story about her wedding night. Include all her comments while describing exactly what will be happening on her honeymoon. It is hilarious. (If there are children in the room or others who might not need to here the story, you can read it at her bachelorette party. Submitted by Jade IceBreaker - Discovery Game This is a good game to start a party so that people can break the ice and get to know each other a little better great for showers or any event. Each guest receives a piece of paper and a pencil. In that paper they will find 10-15 different sentences. They have to find somebody in that room that shares what the sentence says and once they do, they write in that persons name. No listing yourself as the answer either! The winner is the first person to finish or whoever gets the most names, and you can give them a reward. To make it more fun, read the sentence and the answers to the group, so all can enjoy. For instance you can write things such as: ___________ - Find somebody who wears your same shoe size __________ - Find somebody who likes chinese food _________ - Find somebody who has been to Europe _________ You can be as creative as you want to be! This one is a guaranteed success to make people feel comfortable with each other. Thanks - Ruth Panty Hose Game My great-aunt did this game at my sister's wedding shower and we all just had a blast. You take everyone and put them in a circle. You then blindfold the first player and hand them a paper bag filled with old nylons. The object is to put as many pairs of socks/nylons on your hands. Each person gets 2 minutes to put on as many pairs as possible. The person who gets the most pairs on is the winner. After the first pair you cannot feel a thing and we all laughed until we couldn't laugh anymore. I hope everyone has as much fun with this as we did. Thanks - Sheri Toilet Tissue Game You take a big roll of toilet tissue and tell each guest to take off as much paper that they usually use when they use the bathroom. After everyone has their handful of tissue, then you tell each guest that they have to describe a romantic night with their significant other with each sheet of toilet tissue. The more sheets they pulled the more stories they'll share. It is a very fun game that has not failed yet! I hope everyone enjoys. Thanks - Carmen The Toilet Paper Game - Ice Breaker This is great for a "getting to you know you game". Have everyone sit in a circle and pass around a roll of toilet paper. Ask everyone to pretend they were going on a weekend camping trip and they need to take as much or as little toilet paper off as they would use. Once everyone has tore off their sheets tell them they have to tell something about themselves for every sheet they took off. For the ones to took a few they have it easy and they ones who took a lot then they have a lot of talking to do! Thanks - Marcie
Dont Cross Your Legs! Game Every one starts out with one close pin.....or saftey pin on their shirt (some where visible) Any time someone crosses their legs another player can ask for their pin. If a player with many pins crosses their legs they only loose one, not all of them. The person with the most pins by the end of the party....or an alloted amount of time wins! We usually have a cute prize for the winner. This game is fun and allows everyone to walk around talk to each other....waiting for someone to mess up and cross their legs. Thanks - Tairra Purse Game Now depending on the room size and what kind of a party that you're at you either....sit everyone in a big circle on the floor, or if you're at a bridal shower and everyone has chairs placed around the room then you can stay in your chairs. You take an empty plate, paper plate preferably, and you put it down in the middle of the room. One person(usually the party planner) has made up a list of things on a piece of paper(usually about 30 items) varying from drivers license, pen, receipt, and you can get a little wild depending on the group. The party planner calls these things out (neat to see who's got what in their purse, sometimes you see spoons, socks etc). The first person to rifle through their purse, find the item, and put it on the plate gets a prize. - Taking off your object from the plate before the next object is called is important so you get a clear view of whose thing gets on the plate first....clutter on the plate makes that hard. 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. If it is a couples shower, then the men's would write the bride-to-be's name in the blank and women would write the groom-to-be's name in the blank. Now get ready
to laugh! This is a blast and can work as great icebreaker too. Create a Calendar
