Bridal shower games

Bridal shower games.
No printing.

These need a phone and nothing else. The first three are ours: everybody writes into one card and the bride reads them on the day. The rest are the ones everybody knows.

  1. Advice for the bride

    Send one link round. Everybody writes one piece of advice, signed with their name.

  2. How you met her

    The same card. Everybody writes the day they met her, or the thing they remember first.

  3. Guess the word

    Pick a word that means something to her. She guesses it before she reads the card.

The ones everybody knows

  • How well do you know the bride

    Ask her the questions beforehand, then ask the room. Whoever matches her most wins.

  • Ring watch

    Nobody may say the word wedding. Say it and whoever catches you takes your ring.

  • Two truths and a lie

    Each guest says three things about themselves and the bride picks the lie.

  • Would she rather

    Two options, and everybody guesses which she picks. She answers last.

  • The shoe game

    She sits back to back with her partner, holding one shoe each. Questions get answered by lifting a shoe.

Questions

What is the difference between a bridal shower and a hen party?

The words, mostly. A bridal shower is the American name and tends to be the daytime one; a hen party is the British name and tends to be the night out. The games overlap almost entirely.

What bridal shower games work when people have not met?

Advice for the bride and How you met her, because everybody writes about her rather than about each other. Two truths and a lie is the one in the room that does it best.

Do we need to print anything?

No. All three of ours are a link, and the five below need a shoe, a ring or nothing.
