Bridal Shower Trivia: Garbage Bag Bridal Gown

The document provides descriptions of several party games that could be played at a bridal shower. Some of the game ideas include having guests fashion bridal gowns out of garbage bags, passing around a wrapped parcel with small gifts inside, quizzing guests on trivia about the bride and groom, having guests write marriage advice and trying to guess who wrote each, and having guests write silly love poems using random words. Other game ideas involve scavenger hunts in purses, guessing items in bags by feeling them with feet, pinning flowers on a photo of the bride while blindfolded, tasting mystery foods and guessing what they are, and acting out charades with only wedding-related titles.

guests. Guest pair up, I plays the model the other the bridal gown designer. The designer must fashion a gown
for their model using only the garbage bags, scissors and sticky tape within the allocated time. When time is up
models must parade their gowns before the other guests who give score. The highest score is the winner.

Pass the Bridal Shower Parcel


You may remember pass the parcel. You may need to purchase a few small kitchen items for this, little potato
peelers, egg separators etc and one slightly larger item. Choose the largest item for the middle and wrap each
layer with a different item alternating with a lolly or chocolate. Then pass the parcel till the music stops and
remove a layer revealing a gift, pass again when the music starts.

Bridal Shower Trivia


Test your partygoers' knowledge of the bride and groom to be. Ask the guest’s questions like, "Where
did the couple go on their first date?" "How did the couple get engaged?", "How did the couple meet?"
The first guest to put their hand up gets to answer. The person who answers the most questions
correctly wins a prize.

Bridal Shower Notions for the bride


Give each guest a piece of paper and a pen and have them each write down what they feel makes
good/happy marriage. When everyone is done, fold each paper in half and place them in a box. Have
somebody pull them out one by one and read them out loud. As they are being read, have everyone
try to guess who wrote each recipe. Give a lolly or chocolate to each guest who gets it right.

Bridal Shower Poetry in Motion


Write 20 (approx) romantic or sexy words on pieces of paper, such as lips, passion, candlelight,
roses, chocolate, and so on. On another 20 pieces of paper write some non-romantic images, such as
ironing board, laundry, nose hair, mud, and so on. Put the notes in two buckets in 2 separate
categories, and give each guest paper and pencil. Have each player draw a note from each pile.
When everyone has 2 cards, ask them to write a silly love poem using the two words or phrases they
have drawn. For example: "Roses are red, they make me hot! Your eyes are sexy; your dirty clothes
are not!" Have them read their poems aloud one at a time.

Bridal Shower Hand bag Hunt


Have everyone put their hand bags on their laps. Yell out an item and the first person who finds it in
her bag gets a prize. Start out with easy things and make them crazier as you go on. For example,
start with something like a driver's license and finish with something like safety pins or condoms

Bags of Bridal Shower Fun


Find some non see through plastic bags. Gather the same number of items similar to that which the
couple will need on their honeymoon i.e. condoms, room key, sunglasses, insect repellent, etc. Be
sure to let the guests know where the couple is going. Place one item in each bag, tie it closed, and
pin a number on it. Guests have to feel each bag using their FEET ONLY and try to guess what is in
the bag. Write down each guess on a sheet of paper. Whoever guesses the most items correctly wins
a prize.

Pin the Bouquet:

You will need a pic of the Bride blown up into poster size, although a sketch will do! Each guest is
blindfolded, spun around three times, given a shot of champagne and then handed a flower with a pin
attached. Each guest must then try and pin the flower onto the Brides hand. Whoever gets closest wins.
Everyone can mark their name on the poster, and can be given to the Bride as a memento.

The Tasting Game:

Fill each bowl with a sample of a food substance i.e. flour, sauces, spices etc and stick the name of each
under the bowl. Each guest is given a spoon and must taste the contents, and write down on a piece of
paper what their guess is. The guest who has the most correct wins.

The Gift Game:


Give each guest a list of all your guests as they arrive.  Before you start opening your presents, tell them to
pay attention to who gave what. When all gifts are opened, everyone must write down on their lists what
each guest gave! The one with the most correct answers wins.

Who Am I?

All guests write the name of a famous bride (either real or fictitious) on a small piece of paper and puts it in
a hat. Everyone then picks one, and without looking at the name, licks it and sticks it on their forehead!
Everyone gets to ask a question about who they are, for example "Am I real?", and can continue with
another question if they get a yes answer. When they get a no answer, the next person gets to ask a
question about who they are. When you get an idea of who you might be, you can take a guess, but can
only guess three times before you are out. The person who guesses who they are first wins.

How well do you know the bride?

Bridesmaids makes up a questionnaire of about 20 questions about the bride and hands them out to all the
guests. The guest must then answers the best they can. When everyone has finished, all the guests read
out their answers one by one, and then the Bride can correct them! The person with the most correct
answers wins. All questionnaires should then be put into a folder for the Bride to keep!

I went to..

Everyone sits in a circle and the first person to start the game must say "I went to (Bride's name) Wedding
and I . . . . "adding a sentence. The next person must then start from the beginning, saying what the first
person said, and then adding another sentence. Continue around the circle until someone forgets the story,
and then is out of the game. The person who is left wins.

Wedding Poems

Everyone must find a partner, and then are given a wedding word. In 10 minutes each team must make up
a wedding poem about the bride and groom that incorporates their given word. When everyone is finished,
there should be a reading of all the poems, and the Bride can choose the winner. The poems should be
collated into a book for the Bride to keep.

Wedding Pictionary

You will need a white board so all the guests can see the drawings and an egg timer. Everyone writes
down a word related to the wedding theme and puts them in a bowl. Then in pairs, one picks a word and
attempts to draw it on the white board, and the other has to guess what it is, beating the one minute egg
timer. If successful you get one point. The pair with the most points wins.

Charades

The only catch is that every movie, song, book etc must be wedding related. This is a game that everyone
knows.

What's My Word?

This is a great icebreaker for wedding showers. Before the shower, make a list of wedding-related words
(gown, honeymoon, love, groom's name, etc.). Write these words on nametags, and as guests arrive at the
shower, give each a nametag. The guest is not allowed to say the word on their nametag. If someone
hears her say the word, that person takes the sticker. At the end of the shower, the person with the most
stickers wins a prize.

Social Threads

Pass out a spool of thread and tell each guest to break off as much thread as they think they will need.
They will ask what it is for but just tell them not to take too much but to be sure to get enough. It is funny to
see some break off a long piece and some just take a very short piece. When everyone has their thread
each person must tell about themselves as they wrap the string around their finger not stopping until they
reach the end of their thread. Some seem horrified as they look at their almost endless length of string. A
good ice breaker.

What was your name?

This game gets everyone's memory working. You have your guest sit around in a circle. Each person
introduces themselves along with their favourite fruit or hobby, that starts with their first initial. For example;
Hi my name is April and my favourite fruit is an apple. Or Hi I'm Bob and I play basketball. You ever gets
the most or all the names right wins a price. This way everyone would get to know each other's name for
the wedding.

Try to Pop the Balloon!

Provide each guest with a balloon that they must blow up, tie, and break. In each balloon is a strip of paper
that has a simple saying. One balloon has the wedding date and that person receives a prize. I purchase
12" wedding colour balloons and insert the strips of paper. Sayings that you can use on the strips of paper
inside the balloons include, "too bad", "better luck next time", "sorry, no cigar", "nothing for you", etc. It's
great to watch participants try to pop the balloons buy sitting, standing, stomping, etc. Latex balloons work
the best, as they are a little harder to break.....

Spice of Life

Take 10 or more different spices and covered so no one knows what they are. Number each one (before
the party). Pass them around. Everyone has to guess what spice it was. Later take off the covers and call
out the number along with the correct name of the spice.

Caught in the Middle

Have everybody sit in a circle. Get several brown lunch bags and put something in them (make-up, baby
food, clothing items). Start some music and pass a bag around. When the music stops the person with the
bag and the person who handed them the bag must go to the centre. Both are blindfolded and then the
contents of the bag are revealed. The one with the bag must do something with the object to the other
person (feed baby food, put the lipstick on). It's really funny, especially when the person with the bag can't
figure out what the object is.

Date game

Starting with the person sitting to the left of the bride, go around the room until each guests has told their
birthday or the date of their wedding anniversary. The person whose date is closes to the wedding wins a
prize.

Memories

This is a sentimental and emotional game. All the guests have to sit around in a circle and starting from the
person to the left of the bride everyone states what they most fondly remember about the first time they met
the bride or they're most cherished memory about friendship or the happiest memory.

Caught you!

At the beginning of the shower give a gift to the second person arriving, and the fifth, and the eighth
( however many you decide). And instruct everyone who arrives" not to cross their legs." If she is caught
with her legs crossed she has to forfeit her gift to the one who caught her. Everyone keeps an eye on
everyone, it is fun to see who has the gifts at the end of the party, then the girls open their gifts. This also
includes the gifts from the other games played. It is a great ice-breaker and lots of fun.

Create the Future


Put the guests into groups and give each group a stack of old magazines, scissors and a photo album
page. Assign each group a topic i.e. the couples courtship, honeymoon, their home, kids, ect. Have each
group make a collage pertaining to their topic by cutting pictures out of the magazines. Once finished, put
all the pages into an album and pass it around. It is hilarious to see what everyone comes up with

Operator

Have the guest sit in a circle. The person to the left of the bride starts by saying, "My name is Mary and I
am going to Jennifer's bridal shower and I brought many oven mitts" (The point is to make your "gift" start
with the same letter of your first name. This is very important because it is a clue for the other part of this
game.) Then the person to the left of Mary would say "My name is Sally and I am going to Jennifer's bridal
shower and I brought seven silky slips and Mary brought many oven mitts." Continue around the circle with
each person saying their name and "gift" and then also reciting the names and "gifts" of the people who
had already taken a turn.

Pass It On!

Everyone should be sitting in a circle formation. Starting with the host of the shower, she states one word
describing a wedding or bridal shower. The next says her word, plus the word from the previous person,
i.e., 1st person: bridal gown; 2nd person: church, bridal gown; 3rd person: limousine, church, bridal shower,
and so on.

Recipe for a Good Marriage

What you do is give everyone a piece of stationary and have them right down what they would consider a
recipe for a good marriage would be. When everyone is done you have them fold their recipe in half and
put it in a bowl or hat and you then draw the recipes out one by one and read them off and everyone has to
guess who may have written the recipe. It is not only a good way to get to know each other and laugh but
you can only imagine what kind of recipes you get.

What's hidden in the purse?

A fun, quick shower game is to have everyone get their purses out. Give them the name of an item they
may have in their purse and give a prize to the first person to pull the item out of their purse. You can start
with common things like a nail file or a hairbrush, but it starts to get crazy when you start asking for things
like buttons, bobby pins, toothpicks, sewing kits, you name it!!! It is fun to see who has the craziest stuff in
their purses!!! And it is one time when it can pay off to have everything but the kitchen sink in your purse!!!
