Although games aren't played at every bridal shower, they are great ice breakers and can be lots of fun! Shower games are always a terrific idea if the guests don't know each other that well since they get the guests talking with each other. Generally, you will play 3-6 games at a bridal shower, depending on the length of time needed for each game.
If you are hosting a bridal shower, you should determine ahead of time approximately how many games you'd like to play, and which ones. You'll also need to decide what you'd like to use for prizes - they don't need to be anything elaborate. You can find a ton of great prizes at your local dollar or discount store, without having to pay a fortune. Following are some inexpensive ideas for terrific prizes:
- Picture Frames
- Coffee Mugs
- Candy or Food Goodies
- Bath Beads or Soaps
- Candles
- Potpourri
- Stationary
- Shower Decorations
The winner of each game should receive a prize. In the case of a tie the prize should go to the guest that hasn't yet won a prize, or if neither guest has won a game yet ask the bride-to-be to select a number between one and fifty, whoever is closest wins the prize.
Be sure to have enough pens and paper handy for all the invited guests. You should also think about what the guests will use as a writing surface - clipboards or books will work just fine.
