Planning a bridal shower for a friend or relative can be great fun. It is a unique opportunity to help celebrate a special occasion in a creative way that reflects the bride's personality and interests. If you are in charge of a loved one's bridal shower, however, one of the more challenging tasks may be coming up with fun party games to entertain your guests. All it takes is a little imagination, though, and you can plan several games that the bridal party or guests can make themselves to ensure that the bride is not the only one having a great time at the shower. - Bridal Shower Bingo is a simple but fun game that guests of all ages can enjoy. Prior to the shower, the bridal party creates Bingo cards that say BRIDE across the top instead of BINGO. The card's boxes are filled in with gifts that the bride might receive at the shower. As the bride opens the gifts, guests mark off the boxes for each item that she receives. The first person to spell out BRIDE horizontally, vertically or diagonally wins. Keep the game going until the bride has finished opening her gifts, and have several prizes on hand for the winners.
- If your guests enjoy arts and crafts, creating a scrapbook of memories for the bride can be a fun game. Set up a table at the shower with supplies such as markers, colored pencils, stamps, stickers and glitter pens. Provide each guest with a piece of card stock to illustrate or write down a favorite memory of the bride or couple on. Collect all of the cards as guests arrive and bind them together in a scrapbook that can be given to the bride at the end of the shower.
- For a fun twist on a typical trivia game, create a list of 20 or so questions about the bride or the bride and groom. The questions can include fun facts like when is the bride's birthday, how she met the groom or where they had their first date. Ask guests the questions and award a prize to the individual who has the most correct answers at the end of the game.
- Separate your guests into groups of three or more and distribute rolls of toilet paper to each team. Using only the toilet paper, each team must create a wedding dress on one of the members in the period of time allotted. Afterward, hold a fashion show so each team can show off their creation. Award a prize to the group that creates the best wedding dress.
- Provide each guest with an index card as they arrive at the party. Ask them to write their best marriage or relationship advice on the card. Collect the cards and put them in a recipe box for the bride so she can refer to her happy marriage 'recipes' throughout her marriage.
