Planning a bridal shower is exciting, but one of the biggest challenges is keeping guests engaged and making sure the event feels memorable. That’s where bridal shower games come in. Fun, interactive activities break the ice, bring everyone together, and create lasting memories for the bride-to-be.
In this guide, you’ll discover some of the best bridal shower games—from laugh-out-loud activities to sentimental keepsakes—that will fit any wedding theme or budget.
Bridal Bingo
Bridal Bingo is a classic and always a hit. Guests receive bingo cards filled with possible gifts (like “toaster,” “handbag,” or “perfume”). As the bride opens her presents, guests mark the items off. The first person to complete a row wins a prize.
👉 Tip: You can create printable bridal shower bingo cards and personalize them with the bride’s theme colors.
How Well Do You Know the Bride?
This quiz-style game tests how much guests know about the bride-to-be. Prepare 15–20 questions such as:
- What’s her favorite food?
- Where did she meet the groom?
- What’s her dream honeymoon destination?
The guest with the most correct answers wins a small gift.
👉 Perfect for mixing close friends with extended family who may not know her well.
The Purse Game
Guests earn points based on what they have in their handbags. Create a checklist: lipstick (5 points), mirror (3 points), a movie ticket (10 points), etc. Whoever scores the highest wins.
👉 This game is fun, interactive, and guaranteed to spark laughs.
Wedding Pictionary
Split guests into teams and give them wedding-related words or phrases to draw (like “first dance,” “wedding cake,” or “honeymoon”). Their team has to guess within a time limit.
👉 You can use a whiteboard, paper, or even an app for this.
Guess the Love Song
Create a playlist of popular love songs. Play the first 5–10 seconds and let guests guess the title and artist. Whoever gets the most right wins.
👉 Pro tip: Add a mix of classic love songs and modern hits to keep everyone entertained.
Pass the Bouquet
This is the bridal shower version of musical chairs. Guests pass around a bouquet while music plays. When the music stops, the person holding it is eliminated. Continue until one winner remains.
👉 This is lighthearted, fun, and keeps the energy high.
Advice for the Bride
Provide notecards where guests can write down marriage advice, sweet notes, or funny tips. Later, the bride can keep them in a scrapbook.
👉 It doubles as a sentimental keepsake and a great icebreaker.
Bridal Mad Libs
Create fill-in-the-blank cards with prompts like “On the honeymoon, the couple will ____.” Guests fill in silly answers, and the bride reads them out loud.
👉 This guarantees lots of laughter and makes a funny keepsake.
Guess the Dress
Hand out paper and pens, then ask guests to draw what they think the bride’s wedding dress will look like. The bride chooses the funniest or most accurate drawing as the winner.
👉 This game is both creative and hilarious.
Who Said It: Bride or Groom?
Prepare a list of fun quotes or habits (like “I always forget where I put my phone”). Guests must guess whether the bride or groom said it.
👉 This works best if you interview the couple beforehand for authentic answers.
