Favorite Bridal Shower Game

What is your favorite bridal shower games?

nhonestly, none of them. i think they're outdated and most people rather drink, mingle, and have some good food, followed by watching gift opening. if you MUST do games, the only one i find tolerable is bridal bingo. you take a plain bingo card and each guest fills it in with gifts they think will be opened (toaster, china, whatever) and you fill it  up as the gifts are opened with a few prizes for winners

Ditto pp... I'm not a fan of bridal shower games, I actually begged my mom and MOH who are planning my shower not to include any of the typical cheesy games such as the "toilet paper wedding dress". 

I agree with pp, I prefer to just eat, drink, and mingle at bridal showers and then watch the bride open her gifts. Maybe you can have the guests write down their best "marriage advice" for the bride to be.

T.P. the bride is definitely not one.  games can be really cheesy but they provide some entertainment.  We are having and ABC shower so we are having some word related games- like word scrambles, list a wedding related thing for every letter, what do you know about the bride, and give the bride advice (of course we may not do all of those).  But those are some suggestions for less cheesy and inexpensive games.

my fave would be the purse scavenger hunt! its amazing what some women have in their purses!

I did a Project Runway Fashion Runway game that everyone really enjoyed!
I got the PR paper dolls and then I made all kinds of wedding gowns in different styles and lengths, as well as shoes, veils, jewelry, etc.  I had poms-poms and feathers as accent accessories.

We gave each table less than 5 minutes to create a wedding gown that they thought my daughter would like.  (We made my daughter leave the room so she didn't know who created what.) 

The other game we had was when my daughter was opening her gifts.  I had a timer and the BMs would wind it up nd when it rang, whoever's gift my DD was opening would win a prize.  We did this several times during the gift opening.

Another game they did was How Well Do You Know The Bride & Groom.  They asked all kinds of questions about the couple.

I also made gift baskets and we pulled names of the guests for those.

A bridal shower was just given for me a few weeks ago and my FSIL had asked my FI 20 random questions.  At the start of the game, FSIL asked all of the guests to write down on a piece of paper, the number of answers they thought I would get right, out of 20.  Once everyone wrote down their number, she began to ask me the questions.  For every question I answered incorrectly, I had to put a piece of bubblicious gum in my mouth.  I ended up having 6 pieces of gum in my mouth, and it was pretty funny.  The questions ranged from who was my Fi's first kiss, to what is his favorite restanrant, to what was the make of his first car.  The person who's answer was the closest to the number I got right won a prize.  I'm not a big fan of games, but this one was actually fun!

I don't like games.  The bubble gum one makes me gag just thinking of it.  The TP the bride:  ugh.

DD begged for no games at her shower, but her pushy FSIL decided she knew better, and forced games on everyone.  The "bride and groom" trivia one absolutely bombed.

If you must do a game:  bridal bingo.  It doesn't stop the shower, and it doesn't put the spotlight on the bride.

IMO:  games are for 8 year olds b'day parties.  Treat your guests like the adults they are and let them chat, mingle, and enjoy the company of other adults.
