subject: Top Seven Bridal Shower Games [print this page] Having a bridal shower for someone is great fun and requires a lot of planning. During the bridal shower you will also have to think about the bridal shower games that you want to play. People really look forward to these, so you have to make them as enjoyable as possible. There are tons you can choose from, but here are the top 7 to start you off.
Makeover the Bride: With this game you will get to give the bride to be a makeover. This can be done as part of forfeits during other games, but also randomly during the course of the night. You can also dress the bride up in weird clothes and colorful make up if she says a certain word. You can perhaps make this the name of the groom. Don't tell her though! The guests will have huge laughs trying to make her say the word so that you can dress her up even more. You can make these clothes that are wedding related like a bright pink veil, plastic tiara, massive ring, fishnets, and more. Also use hair accessories and a bridal sash.
Q and A about the Groom: This game will place the bride in the center of the room. You will ask her questions about the groom and if she answers correctly she can get a prize. If she is wrong you will give her a penalty which can be more dressing up or a shot of liquor. To make it more interesting, let the guests ask a question each and if the bride answers correctly she can open the gift from them. Make sure the questions are fun and not too serious, but some can also be over the top things she would never know.
Pass the Parcel - the Naughty Version: This is a great way to get all the guests to join in and also give them their bridal shower party favors. You will play pass the parcel and for each layer opened there will be a little naughty gift. This could be fluffy handcuff, naughty shaped straws, condoms, and more.
Guess the Gifts: As the evening goes on, the gifts that guests have brought will be opened. But to make things more fun, the bride must first guess who the gifts are from. If you want to make this work you have to tell people in the invitations not to add a name tag or card to the present. You could also do it so that she has to guess what the gift is, or both. The penalties can be adding another item of makeover clothing or makeup.
Pole Dancing: Something hilarious and great fun at a bridal shower is to have pole dancing. This will normally be held by an instructor who comes to the venue. They normally plan a fun party just for bridal showers and give the bride to be some extra special dances. Be sure to have your camera ready for this one!
Blindfolded: This game works the same as pin the tail on the donkey. You have to make a picture or use a picture for the bride and she must have something to pin onto it. You can make it a ring that she must pin correctly onto the groom's finger, or an image of her getting to the church. Think about something funny that works for the bride.
Karaoke: Any party works if you have karaoke. Towards the end o the evening, this can be perfect for letting loose and having a blast.
