Wedding Shower Games

How To Have A Perfect Marriage - Divide sheets of paper in half by drawing a line in the center.  The number of papers should equal the number of guests.  Write down normal marital problems on the top half of each sheet, such as "If your husband wants to watch football all weekend..." "If your husband flirts with another woman" "If you burn the chicken" "If your mother-in-law drives you crazy"....be creative, but continue to use the "If" format.

Pass them out to your guests and ask each person to give advice for their "If" question, completing the sentence on the lower half of the paper.  Collect them all and cut apart the questions and the advice.  Mix up all the advice and hand out to your guests again.  Mix up all the "If" questions and have the bride-to-be pick one at a time.  Have her read her "If" question and the first person to the left gives her response.  You should get some funny advice, like "If you burn the chicken" "Unplug the t.v.".

Here Comes The Bride -Split your guests into teams of 4 or 5 guests per team (or however you like depending on the number of guests).  Have one person from each team be the Bride.  Hand out to each team several rolls of toilet paper and have them "dress" the bride within 5 minutes.  Award prizes for creativity, beauty, silliness.  Make sure you have the camera ready.

Pin the G-string on the "Hunk" - Buy a large poster of your favorite male exotic dancer or a good-looking celebrity.  Make a paper G-string for each guest, plus one extra.  Glue the extra one over the "G-string area of the "Hunk," and hang the poster on the wall at eye-level.  At game time, use a thumbtack into each of the G-strings or back each G-string with tape, and have each guest blindfolded one at a time to attempt to place the G-string onto the appropriate area of the poster.  It's a grown up version of pin the tail on the donkey, and it's so funny watching grown up's play.  The person who get the closest wins the poster.

The Wedding Night - While the bride opens her shower gifts, discreetly write down her oohs and ahs, exclamations, and shrieks of joy.  As you take notes, write down only the comments that could be interpreted as a reaction to the wedding night.  After she has opened all her gifts, make the following announcement:

    There's an ancient marriage prophesy that states that whatever the bride says during the gift opening ceremony at her wedding shower will be the very same words she will say during her wedding night.  If any of you happen to hear her on her wedding night, this is a few of the things that you might hear.....

Then read back all of the comments you wrote down as the guest of honor opened her gifts.  You might get some hilarious or embarrassing statements when read out of context, such as: "Wow-it's enormous!", "OOOH....I really wanted this!", etc.

Catch The Bridal Bouquet - Supplies Needed:  Dart Board and small paper flowers.  Pin some small paper flower to a dart board.  The guests have three chances to hit the flowers with a dart, the closest one wins the game (and gets married next).  A picture of flowers from a magazine will work in a pinch.

Clothespin Handicap - Items needed:  A clothesline or long piece of rope, a whole bunch of clothespins (at least 20).  Place all the clothespins on the rope.  Have two players hold the rope.  Have each player try to remove as many clothes pins as they can using only one hand.  The player continues removing them until finally they end up dropping one.  The host should then mark down the number of clothespins for each player (the one that dropped does not count).  Whoever removes the most wins!

Do Not Say "Bride" or "Groom" - Items Needed:  Clothespin for each player.  Each guest receives a clothes pin as they arrive and explain to the guests only once:  If you catch someone saying the word 'groom' you get to take their clothes pin.  The one with the most pins at the end of the shower wins.  You can also use the word "Wedding" or "Bride" or "Fiance" or all the words at once just for fun!

Have You Ever? - Have you done something from this list of silly things.  If so, you score a point!  How many points will you score?  Items needed:  Paper and pencils.  Read this list to all players.  We would suggest a prize for the most points and a prize for the lowest points.

1.    Locked yourself out of the house?

2.    Lost a member of the family while out shopping?

3.    Put something unusual in the refrigerator?

4.    Turned white colors pink (or another color) in the wash?

5.    Gone away from your home and left the iron on?

6.    Put your heel through the hem of a dress?

7.    Had your zipper break in public?

8.    Gone somewhere with two different shoes or socks on?

9.    Remembered an appointment after it was too late?

10.    Called a member of the family by another name?

11.    Been ready to bathe and found no hot water?

12.    Fallen up the stairs?

13.    Gone shopping for groceries and discovered you did not bring any money with you?

14.    Driven away from somewhere while a member of your party was still out of the car?

15.    Dialed a phone number and forgot who you called?

16.    Locked the keys in your car?

17.    Got into the car to go somewhere and forgot where you were going?

18.    Put something in the oven to bake and forgot about it?

Observation - Can you remember what the bride to be was wearing?  How observant are you?  This game should be played about 30 minutes into the party.  Have everyone sit in a designated are and hand them a piece of paper and pen.  Then ask the bride-to-be to leave the room.  Now have each guest describe on paper everything they can remember about what the bride was wearing and to get as detailed as possible (earrings, shoes, stockings, make-up, watch, dress, pants, blouse, etc.).  The more detailed the information the better it is.  Give them 5 minutes and then tell them to stop writing.  Then invite the bride back in.  The winner is the person that described the most.

The Women Game - A game for women.  Add or subtract points based on a fun rhyme.  The player with the most points wins.  Supplies Needed:  Papers and pencils for score keeping.  Read the rhyme slowly so everyone can add or subtract properly.  Here is your rhyme:

This is a rather peculiar game

It really does not have a name

It's simple to play as a game should be

You just do as you're told, you see

So now if you'll please give me your attention

We'll put an end to this suspension

In the end, whoever scores the most

Will receive a prize of which to boast

Now since you're all fashionable girls

Give yourself 5 if you have any pearls

You may add 3 if your toes peek out

And earrings will give you 2 more to shout

Score yourself 5 if you show any red

Add 6 more for a curl on your head

Now before you think you are going to win

Take away 2 for each safety pin

Give yourself 6 if your pants are tight

Add 1 for a scarf which is just about right

Add 5 more if your shoes are black

And take away 3 for a zipper in the back

Now count all your buttons, for each you get 2

And take away 1 for each button that's blue

Give yourself 5 if your heels are high

And why not take 10 for the green in your eye

10 more points for a rose on your clothes

Take away 5 if you forgot to wear hose

If your husband you kissed today - add 9

If you didn't subtract 12 - you're subject to fine

This is the end...there isn't anymore

Who is the lucky lady with the highest score?
