Bridal Shower Bingo Card Directions

Make your bridal shower bingo cards specific to the bride's interests.

Bridal showers challenge the hostess to provide entertaining games for the guests without taking the focus from the bride. Customize the bridal shower with your version of the traditional game of bingo. Create personalized bingo cards with wedding-related words specific to the bride. Because most people know how to play the traditional game, there is no need for complicated instructions. Bridal shower bingo requires a little planning and preparation.

Things You'll Need

• Pens or pencils
• Card stock
• Bridal clip art
• Inexpensive prizes

Instructions

1. Create your own bingo cards from heavy card stock. Decorate the cards with bridal clip art. Use a ruler and paper cutter to make 6-by-6-inch card. Instead of using the word "Bingo" along the top margin of the cards, use the word "Bride." Mark off five rows of five squares. Compile a long list of wedding-related words to randomly write on the cards. Make each card different to avoid too many duplicates.

2. Fill in each square with a wedding-related word. Provide a "free" space in the middle of each card. Be creative in listing items related to weddings and honeymoons. For a personal touch, use the name of the bride and groom as well as members of the wedding party. Use honeymoon destinations such as Tahiti or Hawaii. Prepare slips of paper with these words, fold and place them in a paper bag from which the caller will draw.

3. Give each guest a bingo card and a marker. The hostess announces a wedding-related word as the guests look for that word on their cards and cross it off if they have it. The first guest to get five marked-off squares in a straight line either horizontally, vertically or diagonally wins a prize. The winner of the first game calls out the words for the second game. Play as many games as time permits or prizes hold out.
