Bridal Party Games

A bridal party or "shower" is a friendly gift-giving party

held for a bride-to-be in anticipation of their wedding. This

party takes place approximately six weeks before the big day.

Believe it or not the tradition of bridal showers originated

in the 1890's making it well over a hundred years old.

Normally, the groom and their friends are not invited due to

the on-going and sometimes embarrassing nature of the party

itself. Lucky for you, most guys think this event is boring

anyway.

The party usually consists of family and friends giving the

future bride personal girly gifts consisting of make-up,

perfume, jewelry, clothes, shoes, keepsakes etc...

Sometimes it can be hard to getting everyone together so

having a close friend of the bride or family member to host

the event makes it much easier. There are many great gifts,

food displays, and live entertainment options that we look

forward to sharing with you yet this post is dedicated to

sharing a few of our favorite bridal party games.

Purse Raid
(don't forget to get a few door prizes)

Before the shower, make a list of standard items that you

carry in your purse - credit cards, keys, lip gloss etc. Then

add more random or risque things like condoms, toothpicks, or

dog treats (make it fun!). Sometime after people arrive - or

at a designated point in time, the host calls out the items on

the list and the first guest to pull the object from their

purse wins a door prize! This scavenger hunt type of game can

be modified to your liking so have fun with it.

Toilet Paper Gown
This is a classic bridal shower game and all you need is

toilet paper and tape! Divide your guests into small teams and

select the future Bride or other guest to be the living model.

The goal here is to have everyone working together to create a

masterpiece wedding gown. Don't forget the veil, and

accessories! This silly game gets everyone hilariously

laughing. The guest of honor can select a winner based on

creativity and participation. Can you imagine your 80 year old

grandmother standing there in an entire dress made of toilet

paper? Hilarious!

Celebrity Hubby
Admit it, we all have our weaknesses for one celebrity or

another... we're a huge fan of Bradley Cooper and Robert

Downey Jr. We wouldn't mind being married to those hunks! This

game is simple and makes for fun conversation! Everyone writes

down their dream celebrity husband's name on a slip of paper

and then they all get tossed into a hat or bowl. The host (or

another dedicated person) will then read each slip one by one

and guess who chose who. You'd be surprised what celebs get

chosen and by whom.

Bridal Pictionary
The rules are based on pictionary! The best way to customize

this for a bridal shower game is to have everyone write down

wedding related terminology for each person to draw. All you

need is paper, writing utensils and crafty words tossed into a

hat! Examples of words could be, party, nose ring, banana,

love, sparkle, chakras, coconut, raisin, and many more. Just

try to think of adjectives - words that describe a noun vs.

the noun itself.

He Said, She Said
Who said it? All you have to do is plan ahead! Craft a fun

sheet listing a series of statements that refer to either the

bride or the groom. The cards above allow you to circle the

mustache if you think the groom said it, or the lips if you

think the bride said it! We recommend setting these cards on

the table with a drop box nearby. This way your guests can

fill them out at their leisure and drop them in the box. This

is a great conversation piece as well as a fun way to learn

more about the happy couple!

We hope you enjoyed our bridal party game post. Please like,

share and pass it along...
