Unique Bridal Shower Games

A bridal shower is a party that is thrown by the bridesmaids for the bride to be. The bridal shower is commonly held 2 - 3 months before the wedding and though traditionally only women attended this party, nowadays, bridal showers are held for both the bride and the groom and are known as Jack and Jill showers.

Bridal showers are where friends and relatives of the bride come together to give gifts and blessings to the bride. Usually, for bridal showers, people sit together and have a relaxing, but fun time talking to each other. However, as many of the guests do not know each other, organizing bridal shower games are a great way of breaking the ice and making the party more enjoyable. So, if you are planning a bridal shower for your sister or may be your best friend, here are some games that you can include in your agenda.

Innovative Bridal Shower Games

The idea of a bridal shower is to have fun time with the bride who is going to have a hectic schedule during the next few weeks till the day of the wedding. Hence, games will add enjoyment to the party and create memories which everyone, especially the bride will remember forever. Hence, here are some bridal shower games that will make the party enjoyable and fun.

Wedding Scramble
This is one of the easiest games that you can arrange at the bridal shower. It is quite simple and most people know how to play scramble. Collect several words that are related to wedding like church, gown, wedding ring, bride, groom, etc. and scramble them up. Write the scrambled words on a sheet of paper and print several copies of it. Give one sheet of paper to each guest and ask them to complete the scramble in a set period of time. Whoever gets the maximum correct words should be announced as the winner. It will also be good to note the time, in case there are many people who have got all correct answers. In such situation, the prize should be given to the person who has completed the scramble first.

Items in the Purse
For this game, make a list of things that are usually seen in a woman's purse. In the same paper, make another list of the most unusual things that could be seen in the purse. Assign each item with some points according to whether it is a usual or an unusual item. For instance, lipstick is something that is usually seen in a woman's purse and hence, it should be given a low point and on the other hand, it is very unlikely to find something like a stone in a woman's purse and so, it should be assigned the highest points. When all the guests have arrived, make 2 - 3 groups according to the number of guests invited to the party. Announce the items on the list one by one and the group should be given points according to the things that are found from the purse of the members. The group which gets the maximum points becomes the winner.

Bridal Show
For this game, again divide the guests into several groups and ask each one to select a bride from among them. Their task here would be to design a bridal dress by using newspapers or toilet paper. In case of newspaper, do not forget to provide the groups with scissors, glue, etc. All the groups should be given a set period of time within which they have to finish making the wedding dress. Once all the groups have finished with the task, conduct a bridal show where the brides selected by the group would display their creation. The bride for whom the party is being hosted should be the judge and give the award to the group who she thinks made the best bridal gown.

Cotton Ball and Spoon Game
If you are looking for funny bridal shower games, here is an entertaining one for you. Make several cotton balls and place them in a bowl. Next to it, place another bowl which should be kept empty. Each guest should be blindfolded and handed a heavy spoon. They should try to take cotton balls from the bowl and transfer it to the empty bowl. The person who transfers the highest number of cotton balls is the winner. The funniest part here is that as people are blindfolded and are using a heavy spoon, they may not know whether they are really transferring the cotton balls or whether the spoon is empty. So, play this game and have a great time laughing.

These are some of the bridal shower games that you can include in the party that you are planning for your friend who is getting married soon. So, pick up one of these games for the upcoming shower and I assure you that the bride will have a time that she will treasure for the rest of her life.
