There are some traditional bridal shower games that are more tradition than game. One of them is where everything the bride says when opening her bridal shower gifts is written down. Then, once the bride is finished opening her gifts, these phrases are read back to her. They are supposed to foreshadow the words the bride will say on her wedding night.
Another classic game is where all the guests start with a clothespin attached to them. If someone says the word "bride" and still has a clothespin on, the first person to hear her say "bride" can ask her to give her the clothespin. As players get additional clothespins, they attach them to their clothing. The player with the most clothespins at the end of the shower wins a prize. -
Guessing games are another common theme at bridal showers, according to bridalshower.com. One of these is called the "Spice of Life" game. In this game, there are anywhere from 10 to 20 unmarked spices passed around the room with a number on each bottle. Each guest tastes the spice and writes down on her own sheet of paper what she thinks the spice is next to the number of the bottle. At the end of the game, the player who guessed the most correctly wins.
Bridal memory is another game that bridalshower.com recommends. This game involves having a table in the center of the room with up to 20 different wedding-themed items on it. Players gather around the table and look at the items for two minutes. Players cannot take written notes. After two minutes, all of the items are covered by a sheet, and players have two minutes to write down as many items as they can remember from the table. The player with the most correct items is the winner and wins a prize. -
Playing games centered around the bride are another common form of bridal shower games according to bridalshower.com. One of these games is to see how well the guests know the bride. Compose a list of questions about the bride, including what she is wearing at the bridal shower, if her hair is up or down, if she is wearing makeup and other appearance-related questions. Along with these, ask about her favorite foods, hobbies, movies, college she attended, age and any other personal facts others may know. Have the bride leave the room and have the guests write down the answers to these questions. The player with the most correct answers, determined by the bride, wins.
If the bride is willing to be poked fun of, another game involving the bride is a roast game. This is where each guest at the bridal party gets to tell a funny story about the bride from their past together. No limits are placed on how personal or embarrassing these stories can be.
