Ice Breaker

When your guests arrive, they probably won’t all be acquainted. Rather than create an awkward situation where some sit in silence, play a game or two to get everyone talking. One such game requires listening and memorizing skills. Go around a circle and have the first guest say her name, where she’s from, and her relationship to the bride or groom. The second guest will give her information and repeat the first guest's information. The third guest will give her own stats and then repeat the information from the first two ladies, and so on. By the time all of the guests have said a little something about themselves, everyone in attendance should be much better acquainted.

Don’t Say It!

Two of the most oft-spoken words at a wedding shower are wedding and bride. This wedding shower game will give the guests something else to talk about. The host should fill a bowl with clothes pins, popsicle sticks, marbles or anything else she has in abundance. Guests should be advised not to say the words “wedding” or “bride”. Every time these words are uttered, the person who spoke them has to take an item out of the bowl. At the end of the shower, the person with the least amount of items gets a small gift or prize.

Wedding Night Words

As the bride opens each gift, the host or a designated guest should sit close by with a pad and paper at the ready. As the bride opens each gift, the designated person writes down her exclamations. “Ooohs,” “Aahs” and “Just what I needed!” should all be written down. After all the gifts are open, the designated guest will predict the brides wedding night words by reading the list out loud. This is one of those wedding shower games that’s sure to bring howls of laughter.

Q&A Wedding Shower Games

Before the game begins, the bride will write down a series of questions about herself. The questions don’t have to be anything difficult. Examples are “What is my favorite food?” “What is my favorite color?” “What color towels are in my bathroom?” Each guest will then be given paper and a pen. The bride will read her questions and guests will write down the answers. The lady with the most correct answers gets a small prize or gift.

Toilet Paper Dress

This is a favorite among wedding shower games. Divide guests into several teams. Each team gets four to six rolls of white toilet paper. Set a timer for twenty minutes. In that time, each team will choose one person to act as a model and use the toilet paper to design a wedding dress.

When time is up, guests vote on their favorite design. The winners each get a small prize or gift.
