Everyone loves going to a bridal shower.  It is so much fun watching the Bride open her presents, both practical and not.  The atmosphere is jovial and the decorations frivolous.  But even more fun are the bridal shower games.  Over the years, bridal shower games have changed little.  Some of the tried-and-true, and popular ones are:

Bridal Bingo
There are many variations on this game. The most popular version is where the guests fill the bingo cards out themselves with presents they think the bride is likely to receive, putting their own present in the free square in the middle. When a guest has a matching square with what the bride has opened, she can cross it off; five in a row, across or diagonally count as Bingo! Give a prize to the first winner.

How Well Do You Know the Bride?
Start off this game by asking the bride to leave the room, standing just out of sight, but within hearing distance. Ask guests what she was wearing, (color of her shirt, hair up or down, etc.) then move on to harder questions such as how did the bride and groom meet, what is the bride’s favorite color, etc.  When the bride returns to the room, see how well the guests did.  Of course, the one with the most correct answers is the winner

How Well Does the Bride Know the Groom?

Prior to the shower, have the groom answer twenty questions about himself, their courtship, etc.  At the shower, have everyone, except the bride, record their answers.  Once that is done, have the bride answer each question the way she feels the groom answered it.  Any time she gets an answer wrong, she has to put a piece of bubble gum in her mouth.   Of course, whomever gets the most answers correct wins a prize.  But it is so much fun watching the poor bride potentially ending up with a mouthful of bubble gum!

The Clothespin Game
To begin, choose a “buzz word” such as bride, groom, wedding, etc. When each guests comes into the party, hand them a clothespin. Then, if someone hears another person saying the “buzz word,” they get to take that person’s clothespin. The person with the most clothespins at the end of the party wins.
