Games to play
Here are some games to play at your bridal shower. Some are outrageous,
some are creative and they are all guaranteed to have everyone laughing
and having fun in no time!
- Pass the carrot
- Choose a long carrot and get your guests to pass it to the person next
to them - between their knees. Cut 1 or 2cm off the carrot each time it
is dropped. When the carrot is so small that it can't be passed on,
then holder is the winner.
The idea of this game is that your guests blow up a balloon, tie it and
then break it. Before giving out the balloons put a piece of paper in
each - on one piece put the couple's name and this person will receive
a prize. It's hilarious watching your guests work out how to break the
balloon.
Write the names of some famous people on some labels and place a label
on the back of each guest. Each player is then allowed to ask 3
questions per round to determine the identity of their famous person.
Questions can only have a yes/no response eg. Am I female? Or am I an
actor? The first player to guess their identity is the winner.
Make up a list of everyday, and not so everyday, items that can be
found in a handbag. Call out the item and the first person to pull that
item out of their bag wins a prize. You'd be surprised at what some
girls have in their bags.
Split your guests into teams of 4 or 5 players. Give each group at
least 3 rolls of toilet paper and ask them to choose a model from the
group. The players have to create a wedding gown out of the toilet
paper in 5 minutes. Give out prizes to the creators of the most stylish
gown, the most practical gown, the prettiest gown etc.
Spilt your guests into teams of at least 3 players. Give them a bundle
of magazines, scissors, glue, a large piece of paper and a topic which
relates to the bridal couple in the future such as the wedding day, the
honeymoon, children or their home. Each group then makes a collage
using pictures from the magazines to make a story about their topic.
Get 10 clean socks and put in each sock an item the bridal couple will
probably use on their honeymoon. Items such as sunscreen, condoms,
sunglasses, keys, a watch. Tie up each sock and put a number on it.
Pass the socks around to each player and they have to try and work out
what is inside by using their feet. The person with the most correct
items is the winner.
Make a list of 20 grocery items, listing the brand names and weights.
Each player has to fill in the price next to each item and total their
list. The player whose total is closest to the correct total is the
winner.
Pass around a large bag of smarties (or other lollies) and get each
guest to take as many as they want. When everyone has a handful, they
each have to say one thing about the bride for each smarty they have in
their hand. Make sure no-one cheats by trying to eat them first!!!
Draw a large picture of a naked man on a piece of cardboard and put it
up on a wall. Draw the penis on a separate piece of cardboard and cut
it out. Blindfold the bride, turn her three times and get her to 'pin
the penis on the groom'.
Spilt your guests into a teams of 3-4 players and give each team a
knife and a cucumber. Each team then carves the cucumber into the shape
of a penis. First prize goes to the team whose cucumber is the best
likeness, second prize goes to the team whose cucumber doesn't look
like a penis in any shape or form.
Hang some large donuts off a clothesline with some string. The players
stand in front of the donuts with their hands behind their back and the
first person to eat their donut is the winner.
Blind fold each player and give them a cucumber and a wrapped condom.
The first player who puts the condom on properly, without tearing it,
is the winner.
