ALT-4 Great Bridal Shower Games
We each have friends from all the different sections of our lives. Friends from school, friends from work, family, etc. A bridal shower brings all these different types of people from each of the different parts of our background together. For this reason, the best game to start with at a bridal shower, is an ice-breaker game!
One effective game to start with is the Toilet Paper Truth game:Have a new roll of toilet paper ready and make sure everyone is sitting in a circle. Pass the toilet roll to the first person and tell them to pass it around, taking as much of the roll as they like. Each person will take anything from one square, to many, not knowing what will happen. Once each person has pulled off their squares, explain that for each square they pulled off, they must now tell one truthful fact about themselves to the group. Once again go around in the square, each taking in turns to tell truths.
The great aspect of this game is that it will allow your guests to learn something about one another, and they may even find something they have in common. You might even learn something you never knew either.
Bridal Celebrity Heads:Like the traditional celebrity heads game, make some headbands with slots in them for cardboard name tags and prior to the party, put the name of a famous bride on each a different slip of cardboard or paper. They can be both fictional or real life, such as Muriel from Muriels Wedding, Cinderella, or real life celebrities with well known weddings, Britney Spears, Anna Nicole Smith, etc. A name is randomly selected and placed on someones head without them seeing and they can then ask questions to guess the famous bride. There can be 3 or 4 players at once, with the rest answering questions. Questions can be anything as long as they can be answered with yes or no. The game continues until someone guesses their famous bride.
Another fun game, for adults and kids alike, is Pass The Parcel:Yes its an oldie, but a goodie. For a bridal shower, instead of the typical kiddie gifts of lollies and novelty toys, wrap up the type of things your guests would get a laugh out of. This can range from amusing trinkets, pampering items, or for lots of fun, adult novelties. Ideal adult novelties are anything from condoms, to edible undies, lubricant, a g-string, etc. This will definitely throw out any shyness your guests had left in them, and teamed with a bottle of wine, you'll be having the time of your lives in no time.
These are just a few suggestions for livening up any bridal shower. Make them as innoccent or naughty as you like and be sure to have heaps of fun!
