Bridal Shower Questions?

Question

I am helping my MOH plan my bridal shower. She is buying the decorations and I am buying the food, and probably the prizes/favors. I need help coming up with games and prizes. There will be people of all ages there so they need to be clean, but fun. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Answer 1

We didn't have enough time at my shower, but we were going to break people up into pairs and make one put make-up on the other with their eyes closed.  I'm totally bummed that we didn't get to do it.  You could just buy some really cheap lipstick and shadow.

There is also always the toilet paper wedding dress.

Don't forget that if you play one of these games that YOU get to be the judge and give out the prizes.

My mom also planned a gift exchange for my shower.  It's really great for any party.  It takes a long time, it gets everyone involved, and everyone walks away with something.  If you've never played it can be a bit complicated.  

1. Ask in the invitation that everyone bring a small gift or prize that is wrapped (saves money for you too)

2. Write numbers on slips of paper (one for each person there)

3. Each person draws a piece of paper (except you...you go last because you're the bride)

4. Person one picks a gift and opens it

Here's where is gets complicated

5. Person two can pick a new gift, or steal number one's gift

6. If person two steals, then person one gets to pick a new present (later in the game, a victim of stealing can pick a new gift OR steal from someone else.  This includes stealing back a gift stolen from them at least two turns ago)

7. At the end, all the gifts are opened so you, being the bride, get your pick from all of them.

Hope this helps.

(GAMES)

1.''DON'T SAY BRIDE'', You give everyone a pin or something as they walk into the party & you tell them they can't say ''bride'' or someone will take their pin. Person with the most pins at the end of the night wins!!

2.''DRAW A BRIDE & GROOM'', you give everyone 30 sec. to draw the best bride & groom they can. You pick the winner but you can't see the drawings until your ready to pick one.Have them right their name on the back of their paper so you will know whose is whose.

3.''PASS THE GIFT'' Have everyone in a circle & give them a rapped gift, they pass the gift around until the music stops, only the person with the gift is not out, they get to unrap the gift.The person who unraps the gift entirely wins the gift inside. Make sure you rap it like 6 or 8 times.

4.''WEDDING DRESS'' Get everyone into teams, give them a couple of rolls of toilet paper to make a wedding dress, the best looking dress wins!!

5.''HOW MANY ARE IN THE JAR'' You can buy guarder belts or whatever you prefer, fill a glass jar with it & have the guest guess how many are in there.

(PRIZES)

1.$10 gift card to Starbucks

2.Cute, cumffy, slippers

3.A 2 pound box of chocolates

4.Nice candle set

5.A bottle of wine or liquor

There are alot of things you can buy as far as prizes, go to Target & go to the housing sections, they have pretty glass bowls, trays, candles, ornaments, vases, picture frames, etc..etc..

I HOPE THIS HELPS, GOOD LUCK & CONGRATS ON FINDING THAT SPECIAL SOMEONE!!

Answer 4

Play gift BINGO each guest gets to make their own card by guessing what gifts you will be getting. Then as you open them they mark them off as in BINGO and when a line is completed you can give something small.  I was a a shower and we were given $1 dollar scratch offs for a bingo and it kept going until the gifts were all opened.  It was fun and interactive and people watched the Bride open her gifts.  Good luck with your wedding.

Answer 5

people form a circle and pass around a stuffed animal to music - once the music stops a person is eliminated but before they go they need to say one word to describe the bride.  last one standing wins a prize

Answer 6

we had made groups and had them design wedding dresses and then make them on each other out of toilett paper. prizes should be small, like candels or something.
