Notch each nametag with 10 tabs on the bottom. As each guest arrives, tell them the rules of the game: no one is to say the word "wedding" for the entire duration of the shower. If anyone hears another player say "wedding," they can tear a tab off the offending player's nametag. The player with the most tabs left at the end of the party wins a prize. At which point everybody shouts in unison, "1..2...3, WEDDING!!!" Trust us, it's hard!

A variation of this game is called, "Don't Touch It." Pass a small hair clip to each guest as they arrive. Instruct them to put it in their hair. The rules are no one is to touch their own hair. If anyone sees another player touch their hair, they can ask for the offending player's hair clip and place it in their own hair. The player with the most clips at the end of the shower wins a prize. Perhaps refraining from touching one's own hair is even harder than refraining from saying the word "wedding" at a bridal shower.

I'm trying to find really unique fun games to play at my sister's bridal shower, got any ideas??

I like to play the bingo game. Make bingo cards (5 rows and 5 columns with a free space in the center). Have each guest write in the spaces gifts that they think the bride-to-be will recieve at the shower. As she opens her gifts, the guests will mark off the ones they guessed correctly. The first one to get bingo wins!

I think the hair clip idea is very cute - and your guests get to take something home with them!

I THINK THESE ARE SOME FUN GAMES AND MOST HELPFUL.

These are awesome game ideas. Thanks for the help!

I really really need some theme and game ideas my my little sister's wedding shower. Ther will be about 50 people in attendance at a restaurant (banquet room).

I really really need some theme and game ideas my my little sister's wedding shower. There will be about 50 people in attendance at a restaurant (banquet room).

My bridal shower is just days away, although I'm not hosting my own shower, I wanted to see some game ideas that I might suggest to my hostess. I found some really great ideas. Thanks!!

Heres a racey game. Each guest gets a wrapped condom, an empty baby food jar, a small glass of water and an alkeseltzer. When the host says "go" each guest must pour water into their baby food jar and open the alkeseltzer and drop it into the jar and quickly put the condom onto the jar. The alkeseltzer will inflate the condom, she who has the fastest time is the winner! It's a really fun and quick game to play.

here's a fun game, have every guest write one thing about themselves, unique, funny or something they love about their life, they don;t write their names on the sheets of paper but fold it and put it into a bowl/bag etc. then go around the room and have each person pick a slip of paper and read it out loud, then the group trys to guess who wrote it. If they pick their own slip of paper they still read it and pretend its not them until everyone has guessed. who ever guesses the most correctly wins. another version is you have the group run around and try to match the slip of paper with the person who said it. Great way to get to know each other! Lastly you can have everyone go around and tell each other 3 things they love about their life, it can be different each time or something they heard someone else say or the same thing each time. They don't stop until they've said something to each person there. Have fun!

When my best friend got married, I wrote a story about her and her soon to be husband. It started from when they first started dating all the way up to the week before the shower. The story had words such as all, mr. clean, s o s, tide, basket(case), etc. and the end of the story she had a basket (or 2) of cleaning supplies. It was really fun and interesting. She loved it!!

I think something that you might want to try is going to google.com or ask.com and type in Bridal Shower Games. It's really helpful, because one sight in particular is ultimatewedding.com and it had quite a few games. If you have any more question e-mail me at littledream24@hotmail.com!! I can help as much as possible.

My sister is one of the girls who stares too hard in the mirror pin-pointing ever little thing wrong with her, so I am gonna have ever guest take a piece of paper and write a good memory, or a compliment to her on it, so on her wedding day she can read them and laugh, it will keep her mind off being so nervous.

I love the BINGO game- good thought! I will use that next week at my best friend's shower. Another one that is so much fun is to videotape the groom answering questions about himself and the bride. Then...at the shower.....ask the bride the same questions. She will answer them..and then you show everyone what the groom said..it's very funny! Questions can be things like "who wears the pants in the relationship?" and "what is your favorite thing about the other person"? It's a great game!

Great game ideas!

Great game ideas!

Thank you for this site. I am certain that we will be using several of your games at my daughter's bridal shower. The alkeseltzer/condom game sounds like a hoot!

My best friend is having a bridal shower and i want to make it as memorable as possible. If you have any suggestions e-mail me please.

Thanks,

Brittani

I really like the notch name tag idea, because you know the first thing people want to ask you is when is the "wedding"

I love these games but would really like to see more of a variety.

These are very great ideas to use, I plan on using quite a few. thanks for the site!!!!!

I played a game at my bridal shower where the hostess passed out white cotton panties that were my size to all of the guests. Then she passed out permanent markers and all in attendance created panties for me to take on my honeymoon. The hostess had my mother be the judge! It was a riot! We had some that were cute and some that were pretty naughty...just the same, the game was HILARIOUS!

I love the idea of the game where you blindfold the bride and have her dress herself. It sounds most unique and can really leave alot to the imagination as to what the "bride" would look like after that "wedding night"!

I love the idea about making the bride get blindfolded and get dressed, these are some wonderful ideas!

WOW!!! I think its wonderfull that women share their fun ideas. And thanks for them too. Now I have some thing to entertain my guest with. THANK YOU! Keep those ideas comming.

Good for a shower or staggette.

Ask the bride-to-be trivia questions. Make them a little difficult, make her sweat a little. Everytime she gets a question wrong she has to eat a piece of Bubbalicious bubble gum (or shot of liqour if you want to get rowdy). She how well she knows her mate, keep a tooth brush on hand for all the gum she will be chewing! I got 7 out of 20 wrong...that is a lot of bubble gum in your mouth!

One fun game we played with the bride-to-be was giving each girl a paper plate and an assortment of colored Play-doh. Each girl had to create a "likeness" of the bride out of the Play-doh. The bride had to create a Play-doh model of her fiancee! This was really fun, since some of the girls were real artists! Everybody loved it, and the bride got a kick out of seeing what we came up with.

I love the bingo idea! My sister is extremely shy and hates to be the center of attention. We had to really talk her into just having a shower. This will help take some of the attention off her during the gift opening. People will be more concerned about winning the bingo prize. I would appreciate more games that keep the bride's shyness in mind. She gets embarrased so easily and I don't want to make her cry. This should be a happy time.

Great ideas! Please pray for the disturbed creature above who abuses the privilege of the internet and of being a part of God's beautiful world!!!!!!!

funny game! Blindfold the bride. Have all the groomsmen and goom lift up one leg of thier pants. Have the bride attempt to guess her future husbands leg. Funny to watch!!!!!

this was a wonderful site it gave me a lot of really great ideas for my engagement party

TAKE A CARROT AND HAVE A GROUP OF GUESTS PASS IT ON BETWEEN THEIR LEGS (NO HANDS) EVERYTIME IT FALLS CUT OFF AN IN THE LAST PERSON STANDING WITH THE SMALL PIECE OF CARROT WINS.

"Pin the lips on the Fiance" At my shower they had a poster sized picture of my fiance and each guest was blindfolded and handed a set of lips to tape/pin to his face (after being turned 3 times) The closest to the lips wins a prize. It was pretty funny and I still have the poster

i actually need some game ideas for an engagement party, but i did get some ideas from this. If anyoine has any suggestions please write me at njsweetkiss@aol.com. Thanks

This is great - we played it my couples shower - you give the guy a toilet plunger and have him hold it between his legs. Then the woman holds a roll of TP between her's. Then you blindfold them both and they have to get the roll on the plunger. This is hilarious - everyone will die laughing. Couple with the fastest time wins.

I have a good one. The marshmellow game. Make a list of actors/actresses and each guest has to put a marshmellow(the big sized ones) in their mouth and read the name out loud. The bride has to guess what she is saying, if she guesses correct then the guest puts another one in her mouth and reads the next name on list list. This goes on until the bride cannot understand and the next guest continues on with the list. The object is to try to fit as many in your mouth and still have the bride be able to understand you. Whoever fits the most in thier mouth at the end whens.It's actually hilarious to listen to everyone with their mouth stretched wide open and full of white ooz.

Here's a time saver for the bride - and a great raffle game for guests. As guests enter, hand them a preprinted decorative index card. On this card, they're asked to write their name, gift given, and a wedding wish for the bride (and groom). They all go in a basket. Throughout the shower, cards are chosen and prizes are awarded to the guest whose card was drawn. Small bouquets of flowers are nice gift ideas - or even bath salts, lotions, etc. At the end of the shower, the bridesmaids slip all of the cards into a mini decorated/personalized photoalbum so that its easier to write out Thank you cards and remember the special day at the same time.

Great ideas! Thank you!

Here's a good one. Write a word vertically on a piece of paper, for example "honeymoon". Using each letter, each guest has to to come up with interesting things for the couple to do on their honeymoon (ex: M-make out till noon). Someone reads all the answers aloud and the bride picks the one she likes the best. My sister isn't the game type and she liked this one.

A Game for the Wedding Reception. "Bride or Groom".

During the wedding reception sit the bride and groom back to back. Have each of them take off their shoes. Make sure that the bride has one of the grooms shoes and one of hers. (Same for the groom). The best man or maid of honor (or both) will start to ask them questions about each other. If they believe it sounds like the bride, they must hold up the brides shoe. Ask questions like "Who gave who the first kiss?", "Who made the first move?", "Which one of you sleep on the right side of the bed?". There would be a few times their answers wouldn't match and it's hilarous. I have other game ideas but you'd have to contact me directly. Calistavepiras@aol.com.

My sister is getting married this year and i'm planning a wedding shower for her. I'm trying to come up with a rhyme game to win the center piece. If anyone can help please e-mail me at cristina.d'onofrio@baker.edu Thank you

I found some relly good ideas. Thank You!

I was asked to put together some shower games because I did it once in the past. I needed some fresh ideas for games and this site really helped me out. Thank you

I like the game about the guests filling out the cards with their name, gift, wedding wish. Another twist to the game that I'm going to play, is that I'll wait until the bride to be gets ready to open her gifts, I'll draw a card and that will be the first gift the bride opens and that guest will get a prize. I also plan to use a decorative basket and at the end I'll draw another name and the winner will win the basket.

Doesn't sound fun at all!

I played a game where you put several household items in a brown paper sack. Items such as pens, ruler, ball, dice, anything around the house and everyone gets 30 seconds to look inside the sack and memorize the contents. After everyone has looked they get three minutes to write everything they remembered on a sheet of paper. The one with the most wins a prize. If there is a tie you'll have to come up with your on way to break the tie.

I went to a staggette where every guest was asked to bring a fun martini glass. We all drank martinis out of them, then the bride-to-be was asked to pick her favorite one. The person that brought that glass won a prize. At the end of the evening we all left the martini glasses for the bride-to-be to take home with her.

I need ideas for games at my engagement party please help me, thankyou. mrnjk@msn.com

Thank you for the great ideas! Here's an idea for you. Cut out 50th anniversary pictures and their wedding pictures from the newspaper, then copy them, older pictures on one paper and the younger pictures on another. Make several copies and have guests match the younger to the older couples. The one that matches the most correctly wins. Set a time limit.

Thank you! I found some great ideas. We are using the memory game but with condoms, lube, eatable undies, etc.

Here are some other twists to some games that have already been mentioned. For the game where the bride goes out of the room and everybody tries to remember what she's wearing, tell everybody to look at the bride to see what she's wearing, but the twist is to have her mother or somebody else go out instead. This is good because nobody will see that coming! :) Also, instead of hair pins for another game mentioned, use clothes pins and have it so that if anybody crosses their legs, ankles, or whatever, somebody else can call them out on it and take their clothes pin. At the end of the party, whoever has the most clothes pins wins!

These game ideas are great. Please feel free to email me with ideas for a hawaiian theme engagement part for my best friend. She deserves a memerable engagement party & I want to be able to give it to her!! Thanks for any ideas.. coreysanchez4@msn.com

Great ideas ladies..I needed some more ideas, what a great help..Thanks

well i'm to be married this summer in july the 17th and my friends and family are have a wedding shower for and they asked if there was any games i had in mind but really i don't so if u could please help me out my e-mail is sara_sanchez84@yahoo.com thanks alot

As the bride opens her gifts someone takes the bows and threads the ribbon through a hole cut into a paper plate. The bride then carries this bouquet down the aisle at her rehearsal. If there is more than one plate full then the bridesmaids can carry the additional plates. Another fun thing to do is have someone sit next to the bride as she opens her gifts. They should write down things the bride says as she opens each gift, "oh, this is beautiful" "wow how gorgeous" etc. At the end read the list as the things the bride will say on her wedding night.

You all have some great ideas for games ,but I need more.

Thanks! These ideas are great... I am throwing the shower next weekend, and I will let you know how it goes!

I need some game ideas. We are doing a "beach theme" at our local Bahama Breeze restaurant. Any good ideas keeping our theme in mind?

these were all good ideas...but i wanted some raunchy bridal shower games...it's my (first)close friends wedding and i am not the conventional type...so i have to come up with some wild ideas...but nice try on the ones u have..

naz, you will need a box of condoms, blindfold, firm bananas and a timer. Blindfold each girl and time her. She will have to peel the banana and place a condom on it. She who is most skilled wins!!

COOL games very helpful thanks!

Another idea for the shower is to take all the tissue and ribbons from the gifts and make in to a bouquet. if you roll the tissue into flowers with stems then after a bunch take another piece of tissue and roll it around the stems and tie it with the ribbon, it looks nice and is even kind fo pretty.

or if you want you can also make a tissue and ribbon bra for her to wear at the shower!

I am the maid of honor in my sister's wedding. I need some more ideas for the wedding shower. Also, if anyone knows a good website to give me some tips on the toast at the reception, I would like to know. Thanks for all the ideas so far. You can email me at j_stik@email.com

I played a fun game at a wedding shower once....you blindforld each player and they sit on the floor, in front of them the hostess spreads out a bag full 0f cotton balls, then the player uses a large cooking spoon to pick up as many cotton balls as she can during a timed period. It is funny to watch spoon after empty spoon....the player with the most cotton balls at the end of one minute wins a prize!

I HAVE FOUND A LOT OF FREE GAMES ON THE WEB. IT NOT WORTH BUYING THE OTHER ONE'S IF YOU HAVE A SOME TIME. I COPY THE INFO I WANTED AND THEN PASTE THEM TO MICROSOFT WORKS. AND MADE MY OWN SHEETS. IF YOU GO TO YAHOO AND PUT IN BRIDAL SHOWER GAMES, OVER 200 LINKS COME UP. AND THAT IS ENOUGH TO FILL UP A WHOLE DAY OF FUN. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HEAR SOME OF THE BEST IDEAS THEN E-MAIL ME AT: CHERRYLOVESAVING@YAHOO.COM

I'm in charge of games at a wedding shower for a young 3rd year high school teacher. I've made a 20 question multiple choice test. The questions and answers are designed to inform everyone about the groom. He is new to us. Also the questions are trivia about the bride and the groom and the wedding. At the end are three essay questions: housekeeping/laundry/cooking advice, maritial advice, how I feel about bride/groom. It'll be cute, I think. I had a lot of help from the brides mother.

I just got married last August, and my sister had a girls shower for me. On the invitations she told everyone to bring a new pair of underwear and when the guests arrived she hung each pair on a clothes line.Later in the shower she told me to take the underwear off the clothesline and hand them out to who I thought brought each pair. If I got it right I got to keep that pair of underwear, if I got it wrong they would give it back to me, and I would have to re-pass it out. It was really fun to see who brought what underwear, and to get tons of new pairs of underwear. It's also fun to see all the different kinds of underwear people pick out from Granny Panties to something very sexy or barely there. It was very fun. My sis did a good job!!

Hello.... this are basic games that could be played anywere with a little change... they fun, simple but most of them ( with the toilet paper exaption) have much to do with a wedding. Guessed may forget why they came! Anyways just a thought and one womens opinion. ;)

Some new game ideas I've come across recently: Some Purse games: You call out (or have a typed sheet for everyone) different items and whoever has that item in their purse earns a point, whoever earns the most points wins..sometimes its fun to surprise them and let the one with the least points win) Another is to have an accurate scale and have everyone weigh their purses: the heaviest/lightest wins...

I have had fun at showers where I design a "mad-lib" and ask guests to fill in the blanks. For wedding showers- the theme is "advice for the newlyweds" so some of the answers are hilarious.

Shan do you have a copy of the mad-lib that you did? I think it is a great idea, just pressed for time.

There are lots of great ideas here! Keep up the good work!

Last year when my girl friend got married, we had a impromptu "shower" on our patio. The 5 girls were each given a cucumber and a paring knife and told to carve a part of the male anatomy! What a hoot! And actually the bride turned out to be the only artistic one! Hers was actually recognizable!

Neat! I'm looking for a bridal shower opener that I have seen before about a fill in the blank. It is great ice breaker and funny! It uses fruit and veggie words to tell a story. . . . like if you carrot all you . . . . we cantalope . . . peas listen it's bean a hard day, the rings will turnip!! Can you help me or direct me? Thanks/

I found some really great ideas for my best friends bridal shower. One game that I didn't see here and I though is funny is, everyone gets a cucumber or banana and a condom the hostess says go and the person who can get it on the fastest wins.Thanks for sharing your ideas!!

I did this at a baby shower, but I am planning on using at a bridal shower as well. We passed out index cards to all of the guests and had them all write some advice for the future parents, or for the future married couple. They wrote their advice, and signed their names. They passesd their thoughts to me, and I then read them all to everyone. The guests then had to guess who wrote the thought. When the shower was over I made a small scrapbook with all of the thoughts for the parents/bride and groom. You could just slide the thoughts into a photo album if you are looking for a nice book, but without all of the work.

lots of great ideas

I have a good one I'm a Tupperware consultant you can go on my website to my.tupperware.com/kristatolly anytime lots of differnt ideas for every occasion but I do bridal showers all the time and one I use is have everyone write down in one minute what the bride and groom will be doing after married that ends in ING whoever has the most creative words wins a prize its pretty funny,another one is have everyone bend over and draw thier hand and what ever they say you write down and make up a story with those words.

I made up this game, and it worked like a charm. As guests arrive, give them a slip of paper already prepared numbered 1, 2..etc for how many guests you have. They have to write down what their wedding song was, if not married, then just what their boyfriend/girlfriend song is, if not attached, then what their favourite love song is. when all the guest have arrived you sit around and the host of the game reads out the song...each guest has a sheet of paper numbered 1- however many guests you have, and they have to match the song to the person. It's alot of fun to see what people's choices are, and why they like the song, it brings back alot of fond memories for the guests!!

Great Ideas!

Im the maid of honour at my girlfriends wedding and guess whos planning the shower? thanx for the good ideas..cant wait to try the toilet paper wedding dress!

these are some fun ways for the guest to get to know one another. i'm going to try some of these out at my sister's bridal shower this weekend !

My eldest daughter and her fiance are planning to get married next year. I have some friends who are getting married this year and I am always assigned for the bridal shower games. I might ran out of bridal shower games if not for this website. Nice choices and superb ideas!

This is a very unique game! Buy a bridal magazine and a People magazine. Cut out faces only, no hair, of movie stars and paste them on cut out brides where the face goes. Glue the pictures to construction paper and number them. Pass them around and have everyone write down which movie star they recognize. You can use men and woman. Guests love this game and it is pretty funny to see the pictures. It is harder than it seems.

Greaqt unique ideas for me. Thank you

I'm planning on having a "honey-do" shower for my furture son-in-law in July. I really need games for men and couples that will get alot of laughs. I would like to have games that include home repair or maintenance as a theme. THANKS!

I need some Bridal Shower Games for a Bridal Shower happening on the Saturday,June 5, 2004.

My Printer is not printing effectively right now. Please, if possible could someone fax me some ideas for a Bridal Shower.

Fax# (416) 591-8896.

The most hilarios game is the one to blindfold the bride and let her get dress up with some ridiculous clothing, especially since my friend is always so well groomed.

THIS ONE IS HILARIOUS!!! HAVE SOMEONE WRITE DOWN WHAT THE BRIDE SAYS WHEN SHE OPENS HER GIFTS (OOH, IT'S SO BIG, WOW, HOW DO I USE IT, ETC.) AND THEN RE-READ THE COMMENTS AND TELL HER THAT SHE WILL SAY THE SAME THING ON HER HONEYMOON NIGHT. YOU'RE SURE TO LAUGH!!! ENJOY!!!

i came here to look for some games for my sisters bridal shower it helped alot theres some really fun games. thanks

Really great posts everyone. I dont have anything to add. Great games and ideas. Thanks all.

This is some great ideas, i have seen a few i will be using at my sister in laws shower! i am way excited to do the toilet paper one where ya make the dress!! awsome thanks alot

I am about to give a wedding shower and one thing that I will do is mail a recipe card with the invitation and ask that the guest fill it in with their favorite recipe and bring the card to the shower for the bride . You could either collect the cards and place them in a recipe box or insert them into a 4X6 photo album. I will take a picture of my bride with each person who brings a recipe card and insert it in the photo album along side the recipe card brought.

I need a fun activity to keep my quests busy during my Engagement party.

For a traditional bridal shower the recipe card idea is a great! I went to shower where they used the cards in a drawing for a gift also. Make sure you write that the recipes are going into a drawing when you mail out the invites, so people will actually do it! :~)

I am doing a shower this week and I came across a cute game where you play how much does it cost to have a man around and include things like a truck, playstation 2, big screen ect. It sounds cute and may be helpful to the bride.

Hi I am from Canada, I am making a wedding shower for my sister this weekend. I apreachiat finding these games.

My grand-daughter is getting married July 10th. I really apprreciate all the cool ideas. Thanks To Ya'll.

At my brothers' wedding shower, we recorded snips of love songs and everyone had to guess the title and artist of the song and whoever got the most right won! It went really well and then we played the full cd of all the songs while the rest of the shower went on.

Too bad there isn't a web site for the person who is extremely stressed out over throwing this party....not just over the games, but over everything! Good game ideas though

The other ideas that I had were to have guests fill out an address book and an envelope when they arrive at the party. That way the Bride has their address in a permanent place and she doesn't have to waste any time filling out names and addresses for the thank you notes. You can also pull an envelope that has been filled out for the winner of a door prize.

We're having an engagement party with a tropical theme - any ideas for games? Please e-mail me if you have some: cbgirl@hotmail.com

These games are really cute and fun, I took some for my sister's bridal shower that's coming up in July, but do you think you can help me out with something? You see, there is going to be a big flat screen in the room where we're having the bridal shower and a dvd player to play dvd's on and we wanted to use the screen, but I can't seem to find any dvd's of bridal shower games or how we can go about using the screen in a creative way to play some games? Any ideas Please e-mail ASAP at TiffanyBSBLover@hotmail.com Thanx!

it's so nice to go to a website that has women sharing with each other and supporting each other. Thanks for all of your ideas and Amy, I am completely stressed too, but just keep repeating to yourself that one day it will be the day AFTER the shower!

In response to Tiffany, if you choose to do the "newlywed game" where you ask the groom questions before hand and then get the bride to answer at the shower, you could vido tape the groom's answers and play his response on the big screen after the bride answers. Same for the memory picture game, instead of passing around pictures make a movie with pictures over the years with music in the background. The movie serves as a gift for the bride while the guests guess what year the pictures were taken.

A fun game is to get bags of "white stuff" Flour, sugar, equal, baking soda, etc. Without tasting or touching, only looking through the bags, you have to figure out what each one is

I have a game, its called "Make a wedding cake". Each table will get a paper bag with the following: 6 marshmellows (big ones) and 7 coloured marshmellows (tiny ones), 4 tooth picks, a small paperplate, a piece of ribbon and 3 different coloured glitter glue sticks. All the guest at each table will make a wedding cake ONLY with the contents in the paper bag. Make sure they write the table # underneath the paperplate. Give them about 5 mintues. When the 5 mintues are up the bride to be chooses her favorite. Each guest of the winning table gets a small gift.

My sister decided to have a monetary bridal shower. Well I was told by my mom "NO MALE STRIPPERS!!" I was disappointed but I agreed. I had to come up with something sexy!! I went to a store called "Aren't We Naughty" and picked up all sorts of neat sexy, and naughty things. Since this shower was monetary only, I did a box in a box in a box...each box my sister opened had something in it. I had things like ediable undies, glow in the dark condems, crotchless undies, a choclate penis on a stick....and so on....but also things like a spatula, a small frying pan, bag of pasta, can of tuna...and so on. This was the only "GIFT" she got and the box was huge. The guests were sitting at the edge of their seats waiting to see what came next. It was fun!! BTW the funniest thing was that the huge box was wrapped in gift wrap paper that listed 10 reasons why a cucumber is better than a man..AND...she had to read it out loud and translate it in ITALIAN!!! After 13 years we are still laughing about it!!

That's what I'm talking about, Toni. If you don't want to go through the trouble of looking around for that kind of racy stuff (or the embarrassment) you can find "slumber parties" or other "saucy ladies parties" online also- they will come to you- this way everyone gets to go home with a parting gift :-) Yes, it is a little more expensive, but, the quality girl time together is completely worth it. If you can't find anything online, just email me- I think I still have a contact.

Also, for the "Beach" and "Tropical" theme weddings, you could always alternate males and females in a line, give everyone a toothpick, then pass a lifesaver down the line... or a pinapple ring... Then, you could do couple hula hooping contests- that would be interesting- or stay in the same line (male and female alternating) and pass a coconut with your neck (this should be done in 2 different lines, so there can be competition). You might be able to throw a twist into the old limbo game by tying couples together. And, my favorite- this is for the Bridal Shower- Instead of pinning the "lips" on the groom, you could pin other body parts instead... I'm not talking about his ears... Good luck- I know some of it's generic, but it might help! kaddy16@juno.com

wedding dress

I need some fun game ideas to entertaine my guests at my wedding ceremony. If you have any, please e-mail me at mrs.vern_@hotmail.com

Any ideas on games for a shower I'm throwing for my baby sister where the bride's side is very casual and open, and the groom's are old school greek desent? We're doing bingo and I love alot of the ideas above, but I don't think the groom's family would go for them (about 75% of the guest are from his side). Any suggestions, please e-mail me at tpiach@yahoo.com

Great ideas, Thanks ladies. I think the ING game is going to be fun, trying to see how many different words you can come up with ending with "ing" after the wedding.

What a wonderful site! I am hosting a bridal shower in four days and I was stressed about what games to play. I will use a few of these ideas and try to invent one of my own. I will make sure to post it!

Best site yet! Am old hat at throwing showers both wedding and baby, but was feeling stale. After reading all the suggestions and comments am rejuvenated. Thanks to everyone!

My favorite to do at a bridal shower is to come up with a list of questions specific to the couple (i.e where was your first kiss? first date? biggest pet peeve? favorite movie? favorite feature about the other? favorite food, etc). A few days prior to the shower (try to get as close to the actual shower as you can) meet with the groom and interview him using the questions. Then, at the shower have all the guests write down their guess as to how many answers the bride will match with the groom. Then, ask the bride the same questions you asked the groom. You can also actually video tape your interview with the groom and show it "live" at the shower as the bride answers the questions. Or you can first ask the bride the questions in front of everyone and then arrange to call the groom when you're ready to do the game and put him on speaker phone and have him answer the questions live! Whichever guest gets closest to guessing the number of answers she thought the groom/bride would match, wins a prize.

I am throwing a bridal shower for my daughter in two weeks. I am open to suggestion for some conservative but fun games that will make the guest laugh and remember the shower. Thanks.

Vandana,

Everything you need is listed above. I got all of my ideas for a bridal shower that I am throwing tomorrow for a very conservative future sister-in-law from the kind ladies above!

the game that was discussed about the ,,writing down the cute little things the bride says while opening her gifts...isnt there a story you can read about the wedding night or something that goes with this..and those sayings she said fill in the blanks???I know I saw this somewhere a couple of years ago and now I cant seem to remember where.

Some really great ideas, thanks to everyone who posted.

Had to chime in again and highly endorse the marshmallow bridal cake idea that Toni suggested from "Monday, June 28." I just returned home from the shower I threw, and this game is the BEST! Most of the guests had also been to a toilet paper bridal dress shower, and all mentioned that they much prefer this game. The little bridal cakes all looked so cute, and everyone had a lot of fun!

Co-workers and I are having a shower...my theme is garden and all the favors are flowery items, windsox, pictures, vases, etc...even a fake snake that might be found in a garden! My house will be full of flowers and plants...everything is on clearance now..and gardens are full of fresh flowers.I am making simple hair clips, hot glueing a large flower or vegetable to it for each to wear as they arrive. If anyone touches their hair, you get their hair clip and the one with the most at the end wins a plant or bouquet.

I found some great ideas and information in reference to what type and styles of games to be played at my wedding shower. I to this date does not know when it is planned for, but I do know that my wedding date is Sep. 25th 2004. I'm just waiting on the maid of honor to set the date. Believe me we will be using some of these games

Help, throwing an Engagement Party for a large group, both sides of the families, kids and mixed ages of adults..Any entertaiment ideas would be appreciated...Soon..the party is Saturday!!!

My best friend is having her party this weekend and I was to come up with game thanks for the help!!!

How about bridal pictionary?

Have your guest/s (single or teams) try to draw pictures of "things" that deal with bridal type words. They cannot use numbers. They cannot verbalize....etc. They- person, or "team" that gets a group of words completed in the shortest amount of time - wins. Words like: I do, ceremony, altar, engagement, matrimony, bachelor party, etc. Of course, you have to provide a space to draw where all can see, and you have to have a timer.

i am giving my sister an engagement party on the 14th of aug. it is going to be a '60s pot luck and i have no idea what games to play. any advice you can give i would be forever greatful.

u all suck

actually--i suck....i'm such a loser :(

Two weeks ago we had a shower for my daughter and I did the games, most of which came from this site. When my daughter thanked me, she said it was the best shower she had ever been to. Her is one game that everyone liked. Each person gets a piece of paper, marker or pencil and something thick to draw on, like a magazine. They write their name on the paper, turn it over, put it on the book, set it on top of their head and draw the bride in her wedding dress with all accessories. The bride picks the best picture and that person gets the prize. Makes for some interesting pictures in the wedding scrapbook.

Thank you for all the ideas and the fun games.The "COMDON BIT". That was FUNNY.

We are having a 'post' wedding bridal shower for the bride. She is out of town and could not squeeze in time for another shower before the wedding, so we said don't stress out "how about after". Any ideas for games that might be fun now that she has experienced 'wedded bliss' first hand! Somehow I always get the honor of planning the games and I'm plum out of fresh ideas...help.

I just combined two of these ideas. I think I will use this for my sister-in-laws' shower this Sat. :)

Here's a time saver for the bride - and a great raffle game for guests. As guests enter, hand them a preprinted decorative index card. On this card, they're asked to write their name, gift given, and a wedding wish for the bride (and groom). They all go in a basket. Throughout the shower, cards are chosen and prizes are awarded to the guest whose card was drawn. Small bouquets of flowers are nice gift ideas - or even bath salts, lotions, etc. At the end of the shower, the bridesmaids slip all of the cards into a mini decorated/personalized photoalbum so that its easier to write out Thank you cards and remember the special day at the same time. Have everyone fill out an envelope with their address on it. Then draw one envelope at the end of the party and they get a door prize. Then bride doesn't have to waste time filling out addresses on thank you cards. Someone can fill out all addresses onto an address book for bride too for a permanent place. Put the index cards into the envelope!

very good ideas needed some for my daughters bridal shower thanks they helped alot

Here's a game that's great. Have a friend that no one knows come to the shower and put a gift on the gift table. Obviously people will talk to her and try to figure out who she is. At some point during the shower, have everyone stand up one at a time and tell their name and how they are related to the bride or groom. When it comes to the friend no one knows, she stands up and say's "Oh my, I think I'm at the wrong shower" and leaves. As she gets up, she spills everything out of her purse. Of course, everyone will try to help her pick everything up. After she leaves, someone says, "The jokes on you, that was a friend of mine, now everyone write on a peice of paper what was in her purse" It's funny to see what people "thought" they saw in her purse. The person with the most correct answers win! She could have things like a beanie baby, lipstick, a brush, a hair tie, a spoon, a peice of string, a condom, a vibrator, etc.

THE CONDOM BIT WAS FUNNY! NOT THAT i ACTUALLY USED IT. i PERSONALLY USED THE CONDOM FOR SOMETHIG ELSE.BUT ANY HOW YOU ALL SHOULD BE WORRIED ABOUT THE WEDDING PLANS THAN WORRY ABOUT CONDOM GAMES. yOU ALL NEED A LIFE AND YOU ALL I BET YOU ALL PROBLY GOT A DIVORCE BECAUSE INSTED OF INSTENCHUATING YOUR NEW MATES, YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT GAMES TO OTHER PEOPLE THAT YOU SHOULD BE PLAYING THINGS WITH YOUR NEW MATES!!!

your a jerk! LOSER

why are you spending time in this bridal games section if all your going to do is b!tch about it. Not all of us are the ones getting married. We are the ones throwing the shower trying to get some game ideas. I think your a low life and you have nothing better to do because your life is boring.

Bitter, bitter, bitter...

I am trying to find games for my cousins shower that I am helping to host, and have found a lot of great ideas. Thanks to all!!!!!!!! As for the person doing all the bitching........get a life....what happened.......did your groom leave you at the alter because you are such a bitch!!

I Am trying To Find Games For My Cousins Shower That I Am Helping To Host, And Have

http://www.mycreativekeepsakes.com/BridalShowe rGames1.shtml

this website has lots of creative games to play

thank you for this web site. it was very helpful for my niece who is giving a wedding shower and needed game ideals. i liked the wedding dress game . i thought it would be very for them.

PLEASE HELP! MY DAUGHTER'S BRIDAL SHOWER HAS A LADY'S SHOE THEME. I NEED A SHOWER GAME SURROUNDING THAT THEME.

DARYL here's is a game I copied and pasted from another web site for you: The Shoe Game My aunt told everyone to place one shoe in the center of the room in a large pile. Then she handed everyone their own "secret number" that no one was allowed to share with anyone else. She then told everyone to retrieve their shoe when you heard your secret number called. When she called the first number, everyone dashed out to the center of the room to grab their shoe. It turns out she gave everyone the same number. It was a scream and something that I'll never forget.

The theme for the wedding shower I am planning is Vegas. Any ideas for VEGAS GAMES!

I'm looking for some games for children to play. Both boys and girls. I have a word search for them to do, but I'm also looking for another game they can play. Most of the games at the shower they can do, but I want something for only them. Anyone have any ideas?

I was curious if anyone had any other ideas for a Luau shower!There will be all ages, so I would like to keep this "family" shower a little conservative. There will be about 60 people. I'll take all the other advice and ideas for the 2nd all friends shower. Thanks

Thanks for all the ideas.

i love the gift bingo, it seems easy to get distracted while the breide to be opens her haul. A game i am planning on playing at my brothers couples shower this weekend with my side of the family (boys and girls of all ages) was to ask questions from the Newlywed game. My husband and I will go through and find some questions that would not be too embarassing, but find out instresting things from our Aunts, Uncles and cousins...

Zoe, We played hot potato with kids at a shower and they loved it. We used wedding music while they were passing a small pillow around. Even the adults loved watching the kids having fun.

thank you for all the ideas.. they are very helpful.

Thanks Emily for the hot potato idea. That's gonna go over great. I don't know why I didn't think of that myself.

Very nice web page, with wonderful ideas.Thank you!

I'm trying to find a copy of this shower rhyme game I played at a shower last year. The hostess handed out beautifully printed copies of this rhyme and read it to the guests, each rhyming part had points associated with it (10 pts. for each diamond, minus pts. for wearing panty hose, plus points for buttons, minus points for not wearing a bra. I found something similar searching the web, but can't find the exact poem... It was very sweet though.

I'm looking for the game where you pass a book with different clues. For example, the first clue will say pass the book with the lady with the most rings on her fingers. The woman that has the book last gets the centerpiece at the table

I have a game we played at my daughter's engagement party and everyone had fun. It was called "Flamingo Follies". We bought 6 plast flamingos on a stick and dressed them. The first one was in a striped prison uniform and was named "Fear of Commitement", the second was made into a frog wearing a crown and it was called: "Someday My Prince Will Come", third was "Ol' Ball and Chain" and we made a ball and chain out of strofoam and paper links. Pain the styrofoam black. Fourth, was dressed like a bride and called "I DO????????????", Fifth was dressed in a tuxcedo with a top hat and wearing furry red slippers and was called: "Cold Feet" and sixth, was "Mother-in-law from Hell" and had a pitch fork, horns, tail and red cape all improvised with craft things. Then we put tape on the floor in horizontal rows. Then the MC would throw the dice (big furry ones are fun) and that Flamingo would go. They would throw the dice again to see how many lines the flamingo would advance. The first won to reach the last horizontal line wins a prize. Meanwhile the MC makes it fun by Yelling out "Ol' Ball Chain is in the lead", etc.!

I am mc'ing a friends wedding and would like to do the game with the exchanged shoes answering who would be first to do certain activities. I would like to get some questions that I could ask. For example... Who will have to apologize first? If you have any good ones please forward!

ajhogg1@hotmail.com

Thanks so much for sharing all the great, fun ideas. I'm getting excited to put the shower together.

Theses games are really funny, @ my sisters bridal shower everyone had a blast...thanx for the Ideas

Fun ideas, as for the people who are making fun of this web site, they obviously have too much time on their hands, and should get a life!! I have a game: make a list of words that relate to the wedding, and honeymoon and then scramble the letters. Hand everyone at the shower the paper of scramble letters and see who unscrambles the most in the alotted time. Lots of fun.

you guys have TONS of great ideas!!!!! but im having a hawaiian theme so if anyone has any ideas id REALLY appreciate it!!! thanx!!!

Take a picture of the groom and blow-up his face. Buy a poster of a model and place the picture of the groom over the model's face. Then cut out of black construction paper, shapes that look like bow-ties. Play pin the bow-tie on the groom!

I LOVE THIS WEBSITE IT SAVED MY BRIDAL SHOWER THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!!!!!!

Isn't the internet wonderful! Thanks for all the great ideas. The shower I'm having for my friend will be so much fun thanks to the ideas I found here.

for my sister in law's bridal shower i have asked all the guests to bring pictures of themselves young( even toddler) and put them on a display board for everyone to guess who is who. the person with the most correct answers wins!

I actually did these games for my baby shower but, this could possibly work for a wedding shower too...i had a cook book or you could use anything. i wrapped that once. taped a lotto ticket to the outside of that, wrapped it again. then stuck another lotto ticket to that one and did that about 3 or so times. played music like hot potato, when the music stopped, the person unwrapped it once kept the lotto ticket but, was out of the game.the game continued until the last prize was reveled to the cook book and they kept it. It was really fun and the people that were out didn't feel so bummed that they lost. Another game that i played at the shower was to have a bowl, safety-pins, a blindfold, and rice. mix sp and rice in bowl, blindfold the person, give the person a time limit to 1 minute or so and see who could get the most out of using just one hand. the person with the hightest sp wins! hope it might be useful! have fun!

I need a shower game that uses names of flowers to answewr questions about the bride, groom and wedding. I have lost the original copy. Thanks.

I was in charge of one of the games for my cousins wedding shower who happens to be very shy, of course we had to play on that. Every woman who was invited to the shower was instructed to go a buy the sexiest/naughtiest pair of painties she could find in the brides size. They were also to purchase a $1 lotto scratcher ticket, and to place them both in a plain brown paper lunch bag. When they arrived at the party they were place their bag in a basket by the door and keep secret which bag was theirs. Then after everyone had arrived we had the bride open each bag one at a time. She would first scratch the ticket, if she won it was her choice to show us the panties, however if she lost she had to put them on over her cloths and model them around the room for everyone to see. It turned out to be alot of fun, not too embarrassing but enough to crack everyone up. You get the added bonus of knowing what your friends consider sexy/naughty, that is if they fess up to who brought which panties.

I have to plan my friend's wedding shower and I am so nervous because I've never done anything like htis before. She is my first friend to get married and this is my first time as a maid-of-honour or even a bridesmaid for that matter. Have any advice for me on how not to be nervous & screw up the wedding shower?

I am glad that you have this website. My boss and best friend is getting married and I want her to have one of the best wedding showers ever. YOur ideas sure did help.

Thanks, Cynthia

news

Mary Ann- To your game dated August 12, 2004 (Flamingo Follies) We played this game at my co-ed shower and it was a big hit. We changed the third one to Baby Blues and put a bib and diaper on it.(That's the one that won, by the way) And we put the ball and chain on the Fear of Commitement. Everyone LOVED it. It was almost like gambling. This Flamingo Follies game is listed 18 posts up if any one is interested. Also, you can find the Flamingo's at any Party store. We found blow up ones that worked awesome (Sometimes they are called Ostriches, but they are pink, don't ask me that's how they are) then gave them away and the end of the shower.

Everyone was in teams and they were all yelling out their number to win. THis Flamingo game is so much fun. You can use any animal you want.But the flamingo's looked the best.

so stressed about this shower thing. glad to know im not the only one. awesome website, helpful responses and great game ideas. Not to mention so supportive.

I like this one, its called makeup makeover blind folded. Its where you blind fold the bride to be, and she's to give you the makeover. it gets pretty hilarious. I saw my sister with her new makeover so wild and bright. It gave the new meaning, not everyone can apply makeup, and make it work out the way it should of the first try. Make sure your wearing plastic cover ups, as this will cover up any mistakes the bride to be MIGHT make, when others are ooohing, when under that your laughing.

Some good ideas here. I'm looking for ideas for games to play at a wedding reception. We actually played the bride and groom shoe game at our reception and it was really funny. I'd play it again but I would like to have a new idea instead. Anyone have any unique ideas? thanks

I have given several showers and am planning one for my sister. We always play the "Crossed legs" game (your new groom won't like your legs with varicose veins), but I use the small bag clips. They are cheap and the guests get to keep whatever they can collect and also get a prize for the most. The flamingo game sounds like a hoot. Think I'll try it!

Thanks for the great ideas now my sisters wedding shower will be tons of fun!! =)

Absolutely wonderful! Thanks for this site, the ideas, and the wonderful creativeness posted. Go Nuts with Love. xxx

At my baby shower we played pin the sperm on the egg. We cut out a picture of my partners face and placed it on the head of the sperm and used a picture of my face inside the egg. It was really funny and a bit cheeky. Strangely enough my partner was the only one to pin the sperm successfully onto the egg. Must be fate!

Ooops... I meant to say that this game could still be used for a wedding theme. You could even give the egg a viel and the sperm a bow- tie.

Hello.....I need your help!! Any game ideas to raffle off the CENTRE PIECE @ a wedding reception??

I was at a shower were they played memory game with wedding names...like bride first house bridegroom if you got the match you received the candy that went with it for instance bride is bit o honey, first house is fifth avenue. etc...I have not been able to find the game anywhere since then and I was wondering if anyone knows the game....

Thanks to everyone with the great ideas. I am having a naughty and nice shower for my best friend on Saturday.I was really wanted to do games that were more untraddional. I think I will do one of the more naughty games as well as one of the nice games. Thanks for releaving the stress.

Another racy game would be to do naughty charades. It's actually a better drinking game but good just to play it otherwise. Everyone think of some saucy or sexy words, put it in a bowl and each person take turns acting it out (or maybe just get the bride to). If people can not guess what it is in a certain time, the person doing the charade has to drink a shot.

wow thanks i got a lot of useful things from here im gonna twist a few things up a little and it will all be awesome thanks...oh and dont stress any negative comments about this site you know there always has to be that one person that spoils things...thanks for the ideas

Here's a game that is so much fun and I didn't see it on this site... Give each guest two small pieces of paper. On one, guests are to write a potential problem that couples may encounter after they are married. On the other, guests write a solution to the problem. Put all 'problems' in one basket and all solutions in another basket. Mix each basket up and one at a time, draw a problem out of the problem basket, read it aloud, and then read a solution from the other basket. Hilarious!

wow thanks i got a lot of useful things from here im gonna twist a few things up a little and it will all be awesome thanks...oh and dont stress any negative comments about this site you know there always has to be that one person that spoils things...thanks for the ideas

Hi, I AM ALWAYS THE ONE PUTTING GAMES TOGETHER. ALL THE IDEAS HERE ARE GREAT. HERE IS ONE NOT POSTED. LINE UP YOUR GROOMSMEN (THEN OTHER GUEST OR BRIDESMAIDS). EACH NEEDS A QUARTER. TELL THEM TO PLACE THE COIN INSIDE THEIR KNEES HOLDING TIGHT WITHOUT USING THEIR HANDS AT ALL. KNEES SHOULD BE TIGHT TOGETHER WITH THE COIN HOLDING ON. THEN, THEY NEED TO WALK ABOUT 12 TO 15 STEPS WITHOUT DROPPING THE QUARTER. THEN, THEY NEED TO DROP THE COIN INTO A SHOT GLASS. THE ONE THAT DOESN'T DROP THE COIN PLUS MAKES IT IN THE SHOT GLASS WINS. BYE.....HAVE FUN- ITS FUNNY BECAUSE MY AUNT WALKED AND HAD HER KNEES THIGHT TOGETHER AND SHE HAD DROPPED THE QUARTER FROM THE BEGINNING. LOTS OF LAUGHS.....

To get a full picture of just about all your guests you can also have a practice garter throw and a bouquet throw. Believe me, the married ones go crazy. They want to catch these items badly. Plus, you get a crazy group picture thats a great keepsake.

Another great fun game is the Panty hose game. We played this in a covered pavillion so we took a good size carpet and we blindfolded two players. We threw a queen size pair of pantyhose and the the that found them had to put them on all the way. It was so funny. We also had very large size groom and bride pinatas. Inside they had candy, condoms, nasty lipsticks and sexy women undies. We used a small fake gift box and this was considered a prize. The girls broke the groom and the guys broke the bride pinata. Each pinata had a gift box that won a prize. The children were not involved in this and they were told to stay in another area and everyone was nice that all the adults picked up the candie and threw it to them. they waited for this patiently. We had popcorn for them, punch, cake.

At my bachelorette party i received a laundry basket filled with various "stuff". Each item had a little saying to go with it, for example - Tylenol - For when you have a headache. I cannot even remember the rest but it was really cute and I wanted to do something like that for my friend getting married. any ideas?

What a great help this website was! We had a shower for a lady at work and needed something not so "showery". We took 8 items which symbolized something about the wedding and had her try and figure out what they meant. We even gave her "life-lines" she could pick one of us to giver her a 1 or 2 word hint. It was really a lot of fun and she was stumped!

A metal washer/nut represented the rings Tape dispenser represented the gifts A piece of tool/netting represented the good luck by throwing bird seed A piece of white lace represented the wedding dress. A Hostess chocolate ding-dong represented the wedding bells (no not the groom) A long fireplace match represented the candles An egg represented the wedding cake A piece of satin lace represented the bouquet

Hello All!! I love these ideas. I've got 6 days to plain a wedding shower and i had no idea what kind of games i was going to play. I was looking on the computer and ran across this website. THANK YOU!!!! This is a big help to me. I will stop back bye and let you know how it went. PLEASE keep the game ideas coming. HUGS & KISSES!!

We played this at my Mothers birthday party, it was great. I thought it might be fun at a shower too. Place two tape lines approx 10-12 feet apart. Have people pair up. Place equal size potatoes (one for each pair) on the first line. Now give each of the pair a pair of panty hose with equal size cucumbers slid down one leg. Have each of the pair tie the panty hose around thier waist, with the cucumber end at ground level. Now place your hands behind your back and swing your hips to swing the cucumber to bump the potatoe across the other tape line. Its harder than you think and really funny to boot. Enjoy.

We have played Scattorgories using the bride's first initial, then the groom's.. Questions like "a wedding necessity", "something in a kit. pantry" "in a bathroom", "honeymoon location", etc. The person who matches most with the bride's answer wins a gift (that is ultimately given back to bride)

This is a great site. I got some great ideas for my girlfriends shower. Thanks!!!

This game is fun even for the kids. Hand a sheet of paper and pencil to all the guests. Have them draw a picture of the bride in her gown while looking up at the cieling or you can blind fold them. Then have them write their names on the back. The bride to be chooses her favorite as the winner then looks on the back to see who it is. It's really funny to see the all the pictures.

I attended a bridal shower for my daughters best friend. They had 5 guys and the groom roll one pants leg up to the knees.. the bride to be had to feel the legs and guess which was her future husband. It was really funny!

I have a great game that I'd love to share! It was such a hit at my bridal shower that you have to include it in yours or someone you know. Hopefully you'll have as much fun as we did! :)

It's called the "Love Letter." It's a letter from the groom to the bride. It looks nice if you retype it on pretty paper. Give each person at the shower their own letter. They can pair in teams or work on it individually. Let your guests know that they should fill in the blanks with household products (cleaning products and kitchen products), but do NOT give them the answers. It's much more fun to watch them scramble around racking their brains to find the answers. The coordinator should keep the answers stashed away so the guests don’t get temped to cheat. Here are the answers: Bride's Name/Solo/Fantastic/Sunlight/Era/Gain/Bold/Glad/Bounce/Joy/S hout/Cheer/Scott/Pledge/Tide /Whisk/Future/Dynamo/Snuggle/Dawn/All/Groom's Name. Here's the letter(include the title on each letter):

LOVE LETTER

My Darling_______________, Before we met, I was a lonely guy, going _____. Then, something________happened. And like a ray of _________, you came into my life. I knew right away that it was the beginning of a new ________. I had nothing to lose and everything to ________; I decided to be __________. And boy an I ________ I did! Today, there's a _______ in my step and ______ in my heart. Because of you, I want to _______ and ________, "Great ________! What a lucky guy I am!" Dearest, I can't wait until we ________ our love, a love stronger than the _______, to one another for all time. Then I'll ________ you away to a beautiful _________. I'll be your all night ________; I'll ________ with you until ________.... whatever you desire. ________ my love forever, ______________________

In college, I attended many lingerie showers with lots of fun games. Here is one of my favorites.

Have everyone think of their least favorite cleaning activity or household chore. They need to complete this sentence: "I hate __________ because ..." Then they put it into a basket. When every one is through, pass the basket around again, and tell everyone to pick out one paper, but it can't be their own. When everyone has one, tell them that they're going to read them aloud, but instead of saying the cleaning activity or chore, they have to substitute the word "sex." This was hilarious! We got answers like, "I hate sex because my fingers get all pruny" or "I hate sex because there's always more to do!" This was so fun, but keep in mind, these were college girls. This game might not go over so well with moms, aunts, and grandmothers, but then again, they may love it!

I am a bridesmaid and I am giving my best friend a bridal shower this weekend, I was at a total loss for games! Thank you so much for all the good ideas

This website has some really cute ideas! My shower is almost one week away and my hostess' still haven't gotten any game ideas, but this website will surely help them out! Thanks!

I have my own game hosting business for bridal/baby showers.here is a game to play. I call it Lets Go Shopping.Make 4 columns across on a sheet of paper with 26 rows down. Then across starting with the letter A write 4 things in the a colunm ( for example)Apple,Apricots,Applesauce,Asprin Then underneath Bananas,Buscuits,Bagels,Brillo. Cont to do this until you have done the whole alphabet A To Z.Then make copies for the amount of guest you expect. But always give the guest of honor hers 1st ask her if she was to go shopping which item would she buy on that list picking only one off each list . circling only one off each alphabet list.Then hand out the copied list to the guest make the guest of honor leave the room have them figure out what item would she buy off each list then make the person next to them switch papers and correct it. Once you pull out the honoree's answer list and bring them back in the room. watch the fun . the person with the most correct wins the prize.So get your own shopping list together and always throw something funny on the list like Toliet paper,Tampons,Tomatoes,Tylenol.Have fun!

Does anyone have any fairy tale wedding shower ideas? If so please help and email your ideas to kmgalka@indiana.edu

I JUST RECENTLY GOT MARRIED IN AUGUST AND MY MAID OF HONOR DID SOMETHING REALLY CUTE WHILE I WAS UNWRAPPING MY GIFTS AT THE SHOWER. SHE WRAPPED UP DIFFERENT CANDY BARS WITH DIFFERENT SAYINGS THAT WERE SO FUNNY, I HAD TO SAY THEM IN FRONT OF A LOT OF PEOPLE BUT IT SURE GOT THEIR ATTENTION. FIRST YOU READ THE SAYING THEN OPEN THE WRAPPED UP CANDY BAR. SOME OF THEM WERE: SOMETHING YOU DON'T WANT TO SAY ON YOUR HONEYMOON (OH HENRY), SOMETHING YOU DON'T WANT YOUR HUSBAND TO HAVE ON YOUR WEDDING NIGHT (BUTTERFINGER), WHEN YOU HAVE KIDS YOU DON'T WANT THEM TO BE (NERDS), THERE WERE ALOT OF FUNNY ONES AND IF YOUR CREATIVE THIS IS REALLY FUNNY

I am in charge of games for a wedding/baby shower. Thanks for some great ideas. I am going to have a hard time narrowing down the choices so we don't spend an eternity playing games.

This is a version of the panty hose game that was mentioned above. We use a tennis ball in one foot of the panty hose. Have the players put the panty hose on their heads. Tuck the extra leg up inside the body part of the panty hose to get it out of the way. Place identical size/weight boxes on the floor. The players must swing the panty hose with tennis ball [not using hands] to hit the box and knock it across the room to a designated line. We had the parents of the bride and groom to be the ones to play this game for entertainment. You can have the fathers or mothers compete against one another or let the parents work as a team. This is so funny because the panty hose legs will get wrapped around each other. Before this game began we told the guest that different couples had different way to solve problems and this game would demostrate the way each couple worked together. Be sure to have the boxes fairly close together and have players facing each other as they swing.

Here's a game my best friend did for me at my bridal shower.... It's called Who now's the bride to be best. She passed out a list of questions that were all about me. Example how many tattoo's does the bride to be have? What is her favorite color, Ect... The person who get's the most answered right gets a price.

I am planning my sisters shower and had no idea what i was going to do, but after reading all the great suggestions we are sure to have a great time. Thanks a million!!

great site!! does anyone have any idea what the wishing well poem for groom's is? we would like to have something special for him as well.....help!

I like the game when you get to blind fold the bride

I am planning my little sisters LINGERIE shower in 2 months. These are all great game ideas, and I plan on using alot of them. Great work you guys!! I now need some ideas on some naughty looking finger foods and decorations. The cake is going to be a pink lacey bustier. I also thought of little weiners w/ dip and chocolate covered strawberries. Any ideas of any other "sexy or naughty" type foods? I figured instead of using standard balloons, using blown up condoms! I'd appreciate any other ideas you may have! You can email me at jenntbarnes@yahoo.com Thanks again, and good luck to all of you! (Brides and hostesses!)

This game is kind of neat...You get small zip lock bags, (the kind they put beads in), number them 1 to 10, then put in each one a different spice. Without opening the bag, they must identify the contents. It's not as easy as it sounds..(e.g. cream of tartar and flour look very much alike) .it's amazing how people come up with entirely different conclusions. Put a time limit on it then listen to the groans as you tell them the right answers.

can someone tell me the bridal shower rhyme game?

i thought this was a simple briel dress up game but when i went to your site it was all a bunch of shit thank you love sonia

there all really great

Does anyone know where I could find information on a bridal shower fame that rhymes? It's a small book that you make up and each page has some different saying on it like pass this book to the woman with the biggest purse...then she would read the next page and it would say something like, pass this book to the woman with the longest hair, etc... this goes on until whomever has the book at the every end, wins a prize. I don't know what this game is called and I can't find it anywhere online. Thanks for your help.

I am planning a "phantom" shower for niece who lives out of town. So no one will actually be there when she opens her gifts. Invitees are from several states and will mail their gifts to her. Any games that I could arrange by mail?

Thanks for all the great Idea. I am sure my best friends hens night will be blast!...

i have a great one d.j gets a list of 5-10 crazy dancers calls them all on the dance floor and blindfolds them while everyone is watching how funny they look the d.j starts quietly pushing one by one off the floor until only one is standing the one dancer still thinks the others are there. the d.j talks as if the others were still out on the floor edging the last one to dance crazier. at the end the craziest one gets a prize (he doesnt know he is the only one left until the blindfold is off)

I have my friends shower/stage coming up and I need some ideas for some fun games. I am in charge of all this. Please help.

Thanks Amanda

Am having an Engagement Party for my daughter Sharon this weekend and was looking for something to spice the party up abit. My eldest son gave me the link to this site. Have now got some great ideas. Thankks to all. Have decided to do the toilet roll wedding dress; but use males to be the brides instead. Especially the Groom. See what he looks like in a wedding dress.

These games were very helpful. I am planning my sisters wedding shower, and it is sneeking up on me. I think the suggested games are great and will be a lot of fun.

I think you had a lot of great games. There was a lot of misspelled words in some of the replys, but the games was excellent, especially the one about teh lady giving everyone the same numbers to go get their shoes out of the middle of the room. I laughed until my sides hurt, because I could imagine and picture this in my mind. Keep up the good work. There is not much you can get these days that's free, so God bless the person who done this sight!

A fun game is to put vegetables and fruit in a box such as a corrot and two kiwi, banana and two tomatoes, ( have fun with it) cut a hole in the side of the box big enough to fit a hand through. Have the guests reach in and feel the contents and try to write down each item. As you reveal the contents arrange them in shape of the male anatomy. the person who identifies the most fruits and veggis wins. It is hillarious to watch the faces of your guests as you arrange the Food.

GREAT WEBSITE HAVE A PROBLEM THOUGH...THE GUESTS AT THIS BRIDAL SHOWER ARE ALL OLDER WOMEN AND NOT INTO THE SEXY STUFF. ONE OF THEM SUGGESTED AN OLD GAME THEY USED TO LOVE TOPLAY AT SHOWERS CALLED 50-50 WITH DICE. THE PROBLEM IS "I AM TOO YOUNG TO REMEMBER THE GAME AND THEY JUST DON'T REMEMBER ALL THE RULES: BUT THEY DO REMEMER HOW TO PLAY. SO IF ANYONE OUT THERE CAN EXPLAIN THE SCORING PROCESS; I WILL FOREVER BE GRATEFUL.

this is pretty good for mixed group. blow up balloons different sizes but full enough to pop easily. have the men pair up with a woman not their spouse or girlfriend. it will get everyone acquainted for fun. give the couples five-six balloons a piece or they can retrieve from a box. men are sitting on a chair, the partner gets a ballon puts it on his lap, she sits down really hard to pop it. he can help by pinching the balloon or holding her waist helping her jump up and down on his lap. the fastest wins a prize.

My shower is in May and one of my bridesmaids gave me a great game for my shower. One person is nominated from each table. The contestants have to put on oven mits and attempt to put on a pair of knee high panythose. Everyone gets to keep the oven mits and the winner gets a prize...its a win-win situation.

Another great game is cheap and hilarious to play. I have been to @ least 3 showers where this was played and it killed every time. 2 ladies from each table that have their birthdays closest to the shower date have to gather in the center of the room. The bridesmaids hand out large oranges or small plastic balls. The women have to put the ball/orange between their heads and dance to the music. The twist is always a hilarious choice...but any music will do. If the orange/ball drops those 2 women return to their seats. The 2 women left dancing wins. Trust me...this game is sure to have everyone in hysterics!

GOOD LUCK!

Thanks ladies! My future SIL's shower planning day is coming up soon and I wanted to be ready with some great ideas. These are fantastic! Thanks for sharing!

Hi!! I've got some great ideas. Thanks!!

Here's a game that I've done at a few showers. It's HILARIOUS!!! First prepare a bag full of clothes. A bunch of mismatched clothes, an oversized bra, maybe some ski goggles, etc. Make the items totally random.

At the shower tell the story that the bride is on her honeymoon, naked of course, and their hotel catches on fire so she has to flee ASAP. She grabs the bag of clothes to get dressed.

Have everyone go around and guess how long it will take for her to get dressed.

Then the bride dresses ASAP, time her, and the guest w/ the closest time wins!!! :)) So FUNNY!!!

I forgot to sat that she has to put the items on in the order that she pulls them. So it could be socks over shoes, etc.

I am planning my sister's bridal shower and this was a very helpful site.

Our family has a tradition called Bride Bingo that's a little different than the ones here. You need 2 separate decks of cards. Each guest gets 3 cards. The dealer uses the other deck and randomly draws cards, reading the face and suit. As they are called, guests turn down the card that matches a card in their hand. The first guest to get all 3 of her cards called out shouts "Bride Bingo" and gets the prize.

I am clueless of what games to play and what prizes to hand out at the shower. If anyone can PLEASE HELP ME it would be greatly appreciated. Please Email me at kimt127@yahoo.com.

Thanks ladies....You've given me some great ideas!

GREAT IDEA'S THANX

THANX BUT I NEED SOME THING ELSE PLEASE EMAIL ME AT silverempress@wala.com if you have any ideas

The gmes were very unique.

these r hurrable game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im gettin married later this year and wanted to find some fun games to play at my shower so i can ass them on to my sister who is planning it. This site is great and i love the ideas! Keep them coming!!! I have a game but i don't know how good it will work out. Put lil slips of paper in ballons and blow them up. Have a ballon for each guest, they pick ballons as they come in, have some ballons say you win on the slips of paper, after they pop the ballons theyll find out if theyve won a prize or not. Itz funny watching them scramble to find the paper flying around

I have a very large group of people coming to my shower (both sides of the family) and was wondering what games we could play to maybe get everyone better aquainted. It's going to be awkward...not many of them have met, plus we have my co-workers and his. Please email any ideas to: taylorleigh540@yahoo.com

Thanks...and oh yeah....the shower's tomorrow at 2:00 ;)

Here's a easy game. Get a roll of tolet paper and tell your guests take a much as they need. When they finish ask them to put it around there waist, whoever is closer to there waist size wins.

Another game idea.... What's in your Purse? List 20 items or so with different points and pass to the ladies. Who ever has the most items in their purse wins a prize. Ideas... nail file, something blue, wedding photo, shower invitation, guy's phone number, etc. Can get creative. Works for all ages. ... Something mentioned another game in an above... about a book, passing it to woman with most rings, then woman with longest hair. Can anyone give me more information on that one. Sounds interesting. Hosting a tea party/shower with mainly middle-aged women (friends of the mother of the bride). Any other tame ideas would be great. Good luck.

I really enjoyed perusing the various games for the showers. I have added quite a few to my collections for future parties. Giving my very best friend a shower with some other loved ones and I am so glad to find so many fun games! Thanks to everyoen. I have to do the game where the bride has to dress from the burning hotel! That has to be a hoot!

I am giving a wedding shower for my brother-in-law and his new bride who is from the Phillipines. I don't know their culture and what is expected in the line of games. Any suggestions?

Thanks

this was a really good site. The people had a lot of great ideas. Thank you for helping me find some games for my aunt's wedding.

thank you for the ideas they are great they will help my shower out alot

I've got a friends hens night this weekend and a game that I've organised is for the bridesmaids to prepare some playdough (coloured is good) beforehand. Each guest receives some and they are then told that they have to make a man's penis out of the playdough. The bride-to-be then judges which one she thinks is the best and that guest receives a prize. The bridesmaids then need to inform the bride that she needs to carry that winning penis around with her all night, and if she puts it down, she has to skull a shottie. Enjoy!!

Thanks for all the great ideas!!!!

Thank you for all of the great ideas. These will greatly help me in preparing for my best friends shower.

my sister is in the middle of planning my shower, i found out! she is so worried that everything is gonna fall apart. Can you girls give her a helping hand? i wo
