fun, not boring, bridal shower games
1. “Name That Groom” Bridal Shower Game – If you’re looking for wedding shower games that will have everyone participating and laughing, then check out this awesome idea from Lelia at Life on the Homestead! Basically, your friends will have a blast matching pictures of celebrity brides to their groom!
2. “He Said, She Said” Bridal Shower Game – To play this game, ask the bride and groom 15 unique questions (make sure they are the same questions)! Then, at the bridal shower, cut out some cute mustaches and lips! Read off the questions and have the bride’s friends guess who said what! In the end, the person who answers the most questions correctly wins!
3. “Recipe For a Good Marriage” Bridal Shower Activity – Here is a sweet and simple bridal shower activity idea from Sweet C Designs! First, set out a bunch of wooden spoons. Then have the bride’s friends write down some marriage words of wisdom on them! This activity would be especially perfect if you are throwing a kitchen/cooking themed bridal shower!
4. The “Price is Right” Bridal Shower Game – To play this game, gather a bunch of household items (that the bride and groom can keep as a gift), such as cleaning products, dental floss, medicine, etc. Give each party guest the chance to write down their guesses of the price for each item. The person with the closest correct guesses wins!
5. Fill in the Celebrity Couple Bridal Shower Game – This game is similar to “Name That Groom,” but you could be guessing the husband OR the wife! This printable is adorable and your guests will have the most fun time filling out the famous couples!
6. Bridal Shower Present Bingo – Give your guests something to do while the bride opens her gifts! This adorable bridal shower bingo game from Something Turquoise is perfect! To play, have each guest write down what she thinks the bride will receive. As she is opening her gifts, have them mark their cute printable bingo cards!
7. Personality Panties Bridal Shower Game – This is one of our favorite bridal shower game ideas, and it came from Pinning with Mrs. Pennington! To play, invite each of the bride’s guests to bring a pair of panties (as a gift) for the bride-to-be that represents THEIR personality! When the future Mrs. opens up the special presents, she will have three guesses to match the panties to the specific friend’s personality! Hilarious, right?!
8. “How Well Do You Know the Bride?” Bridal Shower Game – Not only is this bridal shower game a crowd-pleaser, but it is also absolutely free and ready in just minutes! Win, win, win! Cheryl from Everyday Dishes has done all the work for you! So, be sure to hop on over and get your FREE printables for your next bridal shower!

Additionally, make sure to grab some of these handy wearable nail polish holders for each girl while they’re painting.
12. Bridal Shower Photo Booth Props – We are loving these wedding-themed photo props from The Budget Savvy Bride! Set up a fun backdrop and take some funny photos as an activity during your bridal shower! Without a doubt, this is definitely one of our most favorite bridal shower ideas.
13. Bridal Childhood Photo Guessing Game – How well do your guests know the bride? For this game, gather a bunch of photos of the bride-to-be at different ages in her life and test their knowledge! See if your guests can determine how old the bride was in each of the photos! To us, this is one of the more classic bridal shower ideas, but we love it all the same!
14. Bridal Shower Date Night Jar Activity – This amazing idea comes from Strange & Charmed and serves two purposes! Not only is it a fun activity for the guests, but the future Mrs. will ALSO walk away with a priceless gift! First, set out some craft popsicle sticks (or slips of paper). Then, have the bride’s friends write down their favorite date night ideas on the sticks or paper. After the shower, present the bride with the jar filled with date night ideas for her and her future spouse to share!
15. “Who Am I?” Bridal Shower Game – For a meaningful bridal shower activity, check out this idea from Erratically Elizabeth! Have your guests write down personal memories of the bride and share them throughout the bridal shower!
16. Purse Scavenger Hunt – This is SUCH a fun game that’ll have everybody laughing at the ridiculous items in their purse! Using this scavenger hunt printable from Spot of Tea Designs, see who gets the most points based off of what items they have in their purse!
17. Right/Left Bridal Shower Game – Who says the bride and groom should get all the gifts? We are loving this Pass The Presents game suggestion from Intimate Weddings! You can find the full details on how to play here!
18. Name That Spice – This would be the CUTEST game for a kitchen or food-themed bridal shower! So easy to put together AND so much fun! It’s exactly what it sounds like: everyone guesses the spice based on appearance and smell — they’re not allowed to taste! You’ll be surprised at how competitive your pals get over this (in a good way)!
19. Newlywed Bridal Shower Game with Video – This is probably one of our FAVORITE bridal shower games ever! Prior to the party, interview/video the groom answering a list of questions you have prepared! At the bridal shower, have everyone gather around the T.V. and ask the bride the SAME questions! After she answers, playback the groom’s response! If their answers match-up, then the bride gets a prize! If not, the bride has to eat a piece of bubblegum (add a new piece of bubblegum for every wrong answer)! Check out an example of this fun game at Lisa Hadley Studios! By the way, you can get any color of bubblegum to match the theme of the shower! (If you’re looking for virtual bridal shower games, this is one you could totally use!)
