Bridal Shower Games

The clothespin game might be a good idea - some of our guests don’t speak English well though so it might be hard for them.


Our families don’t really know either of us so the get to know the bride game would probably be biased to my family/friends only. So I can’t do those games unfortunately!
The jeopardy game could be a fun idea if we came up with some neutral questions!
Thanks for the ideas!

View quoted message My mom and FMIL are in education and hate the ice breaker games just because they can be awkward (like they were in school sometimes) so those are out for us unfortunately.


I’ll check out the other games you mentioned though!

View quoted message I’ll definitely look into some of those!!

How about a mad libs kinda game? or like pin the mustache on ur hubby or like who said it first and people scream bride or groom or two truths and a lie

I love the guess the age photo game. My shower is being thrown by some of my mom's friends who I don't know well anymore so I thought they would appreciate it!


I found a cute advice mad libs type game, a guest bingo, and a scategories that I thought could be fun ice breakers too!


I found all of them on Pinterest!

It will be a longer shower. Its a brunch, which includes a breakfast and a lunch, so thats why FH and FMIL are worried there isnt enough for guests to do in between.

Lots of the guests are extended family (or friends of parents) who haven't spent loads of time with our significant others - so the who knows the bride or groom best wouldn't work unfortunately

We did a couple of the who is more/likely to do ____ and then the who knows the bride the best. Other than that though it went surprisingly fast so personally I don't think you need more unless you are having a longer shower or aren't opening gifts. We rented our hall for about 3 hours.

I attended a friends shower and her bridesmaid planned this marshmellow game. It was great. Essentially, she wrote a bunch of questions for the groom to answer and then asked the bride to guess what he answered. For every answer she got wrong she had to stuff a jumbo marshmellow in her mouth and it was just hilarious 1) listening to his answers, 2) listening to her answers, 3) watching her struggle talking with a mouth full of marshmellows. Not sure if youd like that hahah but I really enjoyed watching it!

All those ideas are great! The purse game was a real hit at my shower, it's amazing what some people have in there.

You could do something like bridal Jeopardy or other type of trivia about you, the two of you as a couple or even general wedding trivia about traditions.

You could do a Newlywed game where your FH is asked questions sometime before the shower and then at the shower you have to guess their answers

We did the clothes pin game where each person pins a clothes pin on themselves and if someone hears them say the word bride they can take the person's clothes pin and at the end whoever has the most clothes pins wins a prize. Depending on your crowd that one can get cut throat though

As an ice breaker you could do a "find the guest" type of game where everyone mingles and has to find a different person who fits each statement and the first person done wins:
