1. Bridal Shower Games; Groom Trivia Game
Preparation level: medium – you need to do some recording before the party.
Materials needed: A camera or video recorder to record your questions.
Variation: If you can’t record the questions on video then you can write them down.
This is one of the many popular and fun bridal shower games; groom questions game that your guests will love. First you ask the groom some questions before the bridal shower and record them on video – the questions are usually about the groom or the couple. It’s funny to see if the questions can be answered correctly or not.
During the bridal shower, using the video interview – ask the bride-to-be the same questions you asked the groom and check if the answers match. You can also ask your guests for guesses on how many questions the bride-to-be can answer correctly, they can even take part in the activity – trying to figure out the answers. You can turn this into one of those naughty bridal shower games by adding a few funny and naughty questions. Bridal shower trivia games can really be a lot of fun, especially if you think of some unusual or funny questions.
In some parties I’ve been to, each time the bride gets a question wrong, she has to do a forfeit – for example, put a bubble-gum in her mouth, drink a shot, remove an item of clothing – that kind of thing. With the right party mood it can be hilarious.

Bridal Shower Game 2: The Name Game
Preparation level: easy
Materials needed: a timer or stopwatch
This is one of the simpler games to play at a bridal shower, it involves naming movies that have ‘bride’ in the title. You can also add movies that have ‘wedding’ or ‘love’ in the titles to make the name game last a little longer for all the bridesmaids and guests to participate. Of course, the person who can name the most number of movies wins.
Another variation of this is to name songs with the word ‘Love’ or ‘Bride’ or ‘Wedding’ in their title or you can also vary the rules by singing a line from songs that have ‘Love’ in it. The person who can’t think of a song in 3 minutes will be out of the circle. The last one left will then become the winner.
Bridal Shower Game 3: Down Memory Lane
Preparation level: easy
Materials needed: some paper and a box
One of the many heartwarming bridal shower games to play – and also a fun activity that you can do at your party is to give each of your guests a piece of paper where they write a memory or a past experience that involves the bride-to-be and then have them put the notes into a box.The bride-to-be then takes out one of the notes and tries to identify who wrote it. At many bridal showers I’ve been to, this one can bring a tear to the eyes. Activities like this can be enjoyed by everyone. Like heartwarming activities? We’ll give you some help and advice for choosing great bridal shower love poems and quotes.
Bridal Shower Game 4: Gift Shuffle
Preparation level: medium
Materials needed: small gifts bought by guests (wrapped)
This is one of those gift-giving games to play at bridal showers, it’s like secret-Santa and it works just as well – plus everyone goes home with something. Before the party (and this can be written on the bridal shower invite) each guest prepares a small gift, wrapped with just a number on it.
During the bridal shower, each guest chooses a piece of paper with a number on it and picks up the corresponding mystery gift and unwraps it. The gifts can be random or they could fit the theme of the party and also you might want to set a price limit on the gifts. To spice the game up, you can add an extra “naughty gift” into the pile and watch laughter unfold as they unwrap their funny gift.
Bridal Shower Game 5: Does She Know Me?
Preparation level: easy
Materials needed: a blindfold
Some games for a bridal shower work great with close friends and family – and this is one of them. The bride-to-be goes out of the room and then the shower guests take one item from their bag and place it on the table, it can be any small item, such as lipstick, hand-towel, car keys, gum, etc The bride-to-be returns and has to identify each guest from their item on the table. For a small variation and to make the game a little harder, you can blindfold the bride-to-be and have her identify what the items are. For added fun put some extra items on the table that have no connection with anyone! If you like lingerie bridal shower games then you can have guests put their lingerie on the table (clean of course).
Bridal Shower Game 6: Bridal Bingo Game
Preparation level: medium or easy version
Materials needed: printed bingo sheets or blank bingo grids
OK, so this is classic bingo and everyone loves bingo, it’s one of the best bridal shower games. If you are feeling generous then you can even provide some bridal shower game prizes for your guests.
Medium preparation – You prepare the bingo sheets with wedding words on them. The bingo grid can be 5×5, or 4×4 if you want a shorter version. To make it interesting, you’ll need to make different word variations for each set so your guests get different results.
Easy preparation – Actually this can turn into a sub-game itself, You just prepare and hand out blank bingo grid sheets (5×5 or 4×4) and then during the party your guests choose the bingo wedding words to be used and everyone writes them down on their own bingo sheet before the actual game of bingo begins.
Bridal Shower Game 7: Who Am I?
Preparation level: easy
Materials needed: a blindfold
This is similar to ‘Does she know me?’ game but you don’t use any items on the table. This time the bride-to-be goes out of the room and is blindfolded, One of the shower guests is selected and then the bride-to-be returns into the room, the selected guest and the bride-to-be shake hands and the bride-to-be has to guess who the guest is.
More who am i game ideas: Depending on how your guests are feeling, you can take the game further and have the bride-to-be feel other body parts of the selected guest, like the face, legs, etc – this game works better after a few bottles of wine!
Bridal Shower Game 8: Toilet Paper Bridal Dress Race |
Preparation level: easy
Materials needed: some toilet rolls, a timer or stopwatch
The toilet paper wedding dress game is an action game and guaranteed to cause laughter. Depending on how many guests you have, you make 2,3 or even 4 teams. Each team gets 2 toilet rolls and the idea is to turn one member of each team into a blushing (literally) bride – using the toilet roll material for a wedding dress!
Each team selects one member to be dressed up and then the teams race against the clock (you can set the time for however long or short you want) to dress the victim in toilet paper. Once the time is up then you can judge who is the best looking bride. Prizes can also be awarded, too. Don’t forget to take photos of the results and put them on your Facebook page!
Bridal Shower Game 9: Guess the Price
Preparation level: medium
Materials needed: small gifts bought by guests (unwrapped with price-tag still attached)
This is similar to the “Gift Shuffle” game, Each guest buys a small gift but this time they don’t need to wrap it and they leave the price-tag attached. Guests take it in turn introducing their gifts and then everyone has a guess at the price. The guest who guesses correctly, or is the nearest to the actual price gets to keep the gift. If you want each guest to go home with a gift then whoever wins a gift can’t guess anymore. If that doesn’t bother you then all the guests can guess each round and someone might win more than one gift. Again, like “Gift Shuffle” you might want to set a price limit on the gift buying.
Bridal Shower Game 10: I’m a Billionaire
Preparation level: medium
Materials needed: paper
This is good for a warm-up or ice-breaker, each guest writes 2 things about themselves on their paper, 1 thing is true, the other thing is false. For example, “I can juggle” and “I can’t swim”. Guests take it in turn to read out their 2 things and the other guests guess which is true and which is false. For a variation on this game, you can have the bride-to-be read out the notes and the other guests have to guess the guests name. You can use this game for “I like” “I don’t like” and if you want to spice it up a little, then you can choose a naughty theme that guests have to write about.
