I am planning my friends bridal shower and am having a tough time thinking of fun games to play so I thought I would ask you lovely ladies what games you enjoy playing when you go to a bridal shower.

I don't usually like shower games. I did go to a shower where we scrap booked, that was fun. The host asked everyone to bring a picture, new or old with the bride. If they didn't have a picture they would take one and print it right there. They provided the scrapbook and supplies.

@artbee: so do you think showers should just be food and presents then?
-
@cyndistar3: I think it depends on the bride. For me, yes I just wanted to eat, mingle, and open gifts. Actually I didn't like opening gifts in front of everyone but I didn't feel like I had a choice. But other people do like the traditional games.
-
@artbee: the bride is definitely more traditional in that sense she is loud and she likes to be cheesy and have fun.
-
If the bride is cheesy and would like games, I'd do some games.
We did the TP Wedding Dress game and everyone seemed to really have fun doing it. We also did a fill-in-the-blank game where it was one half of a famous couple and the guests had to fill in as many as possible in under a minute, I think? Some of them were tough and my friends and family got really competitive. It was fun.
-
Asking the groom some questions about their relationship and seeing if the bride's answers matched up was fun. If they didn't, she had to put a piece of gum in her mouth for each one she missed.
We also went around the room while each person gave the bride marital advice, but this doesn't work well if you have a lot of guests as all the advice gets used up pretty quickly!

@zippylef: oh the tp game! I forgot about that one!
@Alivoo01: thanks those are great ideas!

We played two really fun games are my SILs shower!
At her shower, we gave out tickets so the guests could win big prize baskets instead of winning smaller prizes throughout the shower. Winners for each game got extra tickets to put toward the baskets, which were auctioned off toward the end of the shower.1. Shhh: In this game, you pass out a card with a list of words the guests cannot say throughout the shower. I attached fake rings to the cards. If you overheard a guest saying a forbidden word you took their ring. Whoever had the most rings by the time SIL opened her presents got extra tickets for the raffle.
2. Pay Attention!: We had SIL walk around slowly to each table with a small tray filled with random items (lipgloss, keys, pen, earrings) and told the guests to pay close attention to what was in front of them. Then we had SIL step out of the room for ten minutes while we passed out the game cards, which had questions like, "Does SIL have her hair up or down? Is she wearing earrings? What color is her nail polish? Is she wearing flats or heels?" etc etc" It was hysterical, and the guests loved it! The top 3 guests to get the most correct answers got extra tickets for the baskets.

i think the older i got, and the more showers i attended (bridal, baby, etc.), the less i enjoyed playing games. i know that's totally not what you were asking though, sorry! i just enjoy being welcomed, eating, vegging, getting to the know the others, and opening gifts. maybe just one game? but agree, it's all about the bride and what she would enjoy. i like it when they video record the fiance and they do a q&a (ask the bride how she thinks he would have answered, as well as have guests answer) and play his answers on the laptop screen or whatever. it's always so funny seeing their responses on video because it captures all the facial expressions, etc. and of course you can have the bride chew bubble gum each time she gets a wrong answer (or take a shot!)
