Thank you guys! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shower-games-that-arent-awkward#post-2188235 Sun, 24 May 2015 18:23:29 +0000 tinyperson 2188235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was at one recently where the hostess put 3 fgifts in play then read a story that had a ton of "left" and "right" references...if you were holding the gift and heard left or right, you passed it that direction. Whoever had the gifts at the end won them. The story was pretty silly and was related to the bride meeting Mr Right! It's probably online somewhere... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shower-games-that-arent-awkward#post-2188205 Sun, 24 May 2015 16:41:49 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2188205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Write down things the bride says while opening gifts. Afterwards, read them back as things she will say on her wedding night. Hilarious! We were crying from laughing so hard at my SIL's bridal shower! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shower-games-that-arent-awkward#post-2188165 Sun, 24 May 2015 14:57:02 +0000 turkeylurkey 2188165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did a questionnaire kind of like the newly wed game. What's your fav food, when was the first date, etc. Gave the questionnaire to bothe bride and groom. Also gave it to the guests to guess. Then the host revealed the grooms responses and then the brides. It was funny. No awkward questions but fun to see how close the groom got </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shower-games-that-arent-awkward#post-2188125 Sun, 24 May 2015 12:43:34 +0000 skipper2010 2188125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have a timer randomly go off while she is opening her gifts. Whoever's gift she's opening at that time gets a prize. Low key, doesn't put anyone in the spotlight really, and keeps things interesting while the gift opening drags on. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shower-games-that-arent-awkward#post-2188054 Sun, 24 May 2015 09:41:48 +0000 Charm54 2188054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a photo wall of the bride from birth to present day...each picture was numbered 1-15 and the guests went and guessed the age for each picture. The person with the most right won a prize. I liked it bc people could do it on their own time so it didn't feel like a game. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shower-games-that-arent-awkward#post-2188040 Sun, 24 May 2015 09:10:11 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2188040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At a shower for my DHs cousin my MIL had s tray full of random items... Like gum, thread, light bulb etc (maybe 20 things) and everyone got to look at it for one minute and then write down as many as they could remember. It was cool! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shower-games-that-arent-awkward#post-2188034 Sun, 24 May 2015 08:57:12 +0000 SweetiePie 2188034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm the same as your sister! I don't like to be center of attention (which is really hard to avoid as a bride!)</p> <p>At my shower my sister did:<br /> -match the memory with the guest. Everyone wrote a memory on a pretty piece of paper and in between gifts I would read one aloud and guess who wrote it. Lots of fun! But also has potential to be embarrassing if you really can't remember and it makes the person feel bad (which happened to me once. Oops!) My sister then put them all in an album for me, so I have a nice album with my closest friends' and family's memories with me. </p> <p>- an egg timer was set to random increments and whoever's gift I was opening when the timer went off got a door prize. </p> <p>This is one we did at my best friend's shower - I went and bought 10 or so spices and we covered the bottle with wrapping/tissue paper that matched our theme and put mesh material over the top and tied a ribbon around it (all of this is so that they can't see the label or the spice but can smell it). We numbered them and had an answer sheet where they could guess the spices based on smell. I would advise against too many that are obscure. Haha. I thought I'd be sneaky and found the most random spices and really stumped everyone and the "winner" was only able to guess 3 out of like 10. Haha. So I recommend to do basics that could be confused like oregano, basil, etc. and throw just 2-3 stumpers in there. The bride gets to keep the spices to build up her pantry :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shower-games-that-arent-awkward#post-2188023 Sun, 24 May 2015 08:31:28 +0000 mrsjyw 2188023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't really want games at my shower so we just did a list of random dates and asked guests who had the closest date to it for handing out gift baskets in between gift opening. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shower-games-that-arent-awkward#post-2188009 Sun, 24 May 2015 07:57:46 +0000 matador84 2188009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Clothepins that guests wear (make cute) everytime you catch someone saying wedding they take a clothespin. </p> <p>Newlywed game! Get finances answers ahead of time and then bride answers on a whiteboard. So fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shower-games-that-arent-awkward#post-2188007 Sun, 24 May 2015 07:55:20 +0000 Reese 2188007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel the same way and some nice ones/not huge productions were.</p> <p>Guess the mamas belly with a piece of yarn. They set it up so people could just grab it and knot it and then pin it back up (like a clothesline set up) people interacted with one another and nobody was allowed to come up to me and cheat. My friend had measured me separately so I just had to go up when they announced the winner and show that it was the closest. </p> <p>Not really a game but on everyone's plate we had cards of predictions/well wishes .. They are such a sweet keepsake and I'm so happy they implemented that! It has fill in the blanks "I hope you get your fathers _______ , I hope you get your mothers ________, I hope you learn ________" etc. loved it. </p> <p>Also blindfolded diapering of stuffed animals .. I didn't have to be involved at all and women loved it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shower-games-that-arent-awkward#post-2187999 Sun, 24 May 2015 07:31:34 +0000 Truth Bombs 2187999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always do bridal bingo. Make each of the guests a bingo card where the squares are things from your sister's registry. The guests play as your sister opens her presents and the first few people to get bingo get gift baskets. It makes watching someone open presents a little more exciting.</p> <p>Another fun one is twenty questions. So you ask the groom a bunch of questions ahead of time about their relationship (Where was your first date, what is your favorite meal that the bride cooks, etc). At the shower, you ask the bride the same questions and see how many matching answers they get. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shower-games-that-arent-awkward#post-2187991 Sun, 24 May 2015 07:12:03 +0000 FaithFertility 2187991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sister had some fun ones for mine:</p> <p>Who is .....<br /> Like who is the more romantic one Bride/groom<br /> Who wears the pants? Bride/groom</p> <p>Also did a memory game where a guest writes a favorite memory with the bride but keeps it anonymous the brise then reada aloud and has to match the memory with the person </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shower-games-that-arent-awkward#post-2187985 Sun, 24 May 2015 06:53:44 +0000 MrsBrewer 2187985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My favorite is the price is right game. Where you have to guess the amount of baby items. </p> <p>Eta. Oops sorry bridal shower game!! I think you could still play the price is right game just do it with household items!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shower-games-that-arent-awkward#post-2187980 Sun, 24 May 2015 06:37:55 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2187980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm throwing my sister's bridal shower in a few weeks, and I'm looking for some 'games' (used loosely) that aren't your typical shower games. My sister isn't really a centre of attention type person- so I don't think the toilet paper dress-type game would work.<br /> Any ideas? </p>
