Exciting Bridal Shower Game Ideas

The bridal shower is a chance for the women in the future bride’s life to honor her with a simple luncheon or get together filled with good food, fun and games. Many bridal showers feature a series of fun games that are not only a big deal of fun but also allow a bonding opportunity for all of the women at the party and sometimes serve the purpose of completing a task for the bride to be.

A wedding game that encourages the participants to get to know each other is always a fun game with which to start the party.  One game you can play is known as the Name Tag Game which encourages guest to mingle with the other guests.  In this game, the hostess writes the name of each of the guests along with a word related to weddings such as veil, favors, groom, etc on a name tag.

The rules of the game are that you are not allowed to say the word on your name tag or else you lose your name tag to the person who got you to say the word.  If you acquire one or more additional name tags you are tasked with not saying any of the words on either your name tag or any of the other tags.  If you say the word on your tag, you have to give up it to the person who got you to say the word and if you say the word on one of the other tags, you also have to give that person the tag plus you have to introduce them to the person from whom you had acquired the tag.  There is usually a pre-determined time limit for this game and the person with the most tags when time runs out is the winner.

The Purse Game is another popular bridal shower idea.  This is a simple wedding game where the hostess draws up a list of items likely to appear in a woman’s purse and assigns a point value to each item ranging from 1-5 depending on how unusual the item is.  For example car keys might be a 1 on the scale, a mirror a 3 and an eye lash curler a 5.  The hostess might also choose to allow 10 bonus points for the woman who can produce the most outrageous item from her purse.  The woman with the most points wins the game.  Another variation of this game is to have a list of items and call out the items one at a time.  The first woman to find each item and hand it to the person judging the game wins one point.  After the entire list has been completed, the woman with the most points is proclaimed the winner.

Bridal Shower Bingo is another simple bridal shower game.  This game is played just like regular bingo except that instead of using letters and numbers for the spaces, each space is filled with a word or words that relate to weddings, love or marriage such as wedding dress, favors, eternal, true, rings, etc.  The host makes up the bingo cards ahead of time and puts a piece of paper with each word used on the cards into a large bowl.  During the game, the hostess will draw out a word and read it allowed and each participant will mark that square on their card.  The first person to complete an entire row, column or diagonal wins the game.

The Bridal Shower Memory Game is also very popular.  The typical way to play this game is to have a tray filled with various household items.  Bring out the tray and allow the guests to study the items for a few minutes and then take the tray away and ask questions about the items such as, where the spoon was and what color was the spatula.  This game could also be modified to have one of the guests bring the tray out and then leave the room to take the tray away.  You could then catch the guests by surprise by asking questions about the person who carried the tray such as what color shirt were they wearing or on which finger was she wearing a ring instead of asking questions about the contents of the tray.

All of these games are a lot of fun to play at a bridal shower and they encourage the guests to get to know each other in a casual atmosphere.  Some of these games even serve the purpose of helping to complete some of the bride’s last minute projects.  The fun of these games is that they help people to get to know each other better which is helpful especially if the bride and grooms’ families don’t know each other well.

Man, Play and Games (Paperback) $40.69 Play is "an occasion of pure waste: waste of time, energy, ingenuity, skill, and often of money." It is also an essential element of human social and spiritual development.In this study, Roger Caillois defines play as a voluntary activity that occurs in a pure space, isolated and protected from the rest of life. Within limits set by rules that provide a level playing field, players move toward an unpredictable outcome by responding to their opponents` actions. Caillois qualifies types of games and ways of playing, from the improvisation characteristic of children`s play to the disciplined pursuit of solutions to gratuitously difficult puzzles. He also examines the means by which games become part of daily life, ultimately giving cultures their most characteristic customs and institutions.
