Bridal Shower Games By: Jonathan Bille  |

 To game or not to game that is the question, the answer depends on you and the kind of shower you plan on having. It is not necessary to have games planned for your shower, but depending on the relative familiarity of your guests with each other it may be a good idea. If your guests are all old friend who have known each other for years, games may not serve the same purpose as when the shower guests don’t really know each other at all. In these situations games can serve a crucial function breaking the ice and getting your guests to relax and to interact with each other.
If you feel that having games is the right choice for your bridal shower the next question becomes what types of games are right for your shower? Ultimately you want games that will promote interaction between your guests so stay away from games that isolate individuals, like written test games. The next thing to consider is not to choose games that single out individuals for embarrassment. Truth or dare type games are not a good choice unless your party is composed of friend with who you have intimate friendships.
So what are some good game ideas? Well there are so many different bridal shower games that it would be impossible to list them all here, but here are a few that sure winners for laughs and a good time.
Cotton Ball Game: Blindfold a guest, with a spoon; have them transfer cotton balls from one bowl to another. The point is to use a very heavy spoon so that it is impossible to tell if you have actually picked up any cotton balls. The one who transfers the most cotton balls wins. This game is a very funny game to watch because it consists mostly of watching your guests transfer empty spoonfuls.
The Clothes Pin Game: There are a lot of variation of this game but the main thrust of the game is to hand out clothes pins to your guests informing them of words that can’t say like, wedding, bride, rings, etc… or actions they can’t make like, crossing their legs or brushing their hair. If they are spotted or heard by another guest breaking one of the rules they give up a clothes pin to that guest. The one with the most clothes pins at the end of the day wins the game.
The Purse Game: The way this game is played is the bride to be makes a list of all the items that are normally found in a woman’s purse and she assigns points to each item, a brush may be worth a point, a safety pin may be worth two points, etc.... At one point all the guests are asked to empty their purses to tally how many points each guest gets. The one with the most points wins the games.
These bridal shower game suggestions just scratch the surface of all the different bridal shower games that are out there. Spend a little while online looking around and you’ll be sure to find more game suggestions than you have time to play games. But remember to choose games that are right for they type of guests that will be at the shower. What you want is for everyone to enjoy each others company. What you don’t want is anyone to feel uncomfortable.
