  I had 2 showers and both of our families hate games, so they were kept to a minimum
  One was a couples shower with FI's side.  We ate food, drank wine and beer, mingled and opened presents.  It was held in his aunts backyard and it was awesome!
  The other was a ladies only shower on my mom's side held at a country club, we ate, mingled and opened presents.  There was 1 game. We played bridal bingo.  Each person has a bingo board.  In each square the write a gift that they think the bride will receive.  As the bride opens gifts, they cross off items that she opens. Just like bingo, when 5 in a row are crossed off the person yells bingo.  At that time they choose a prize.  We had large jar scented candles, large sizes of nice body products and some beautiful bracelets made by my mom's friend. In my siggy pic you can actually see a bit of the prize table.
  
  The nice thing about bridal bingo is it is not too interactive or awkward.  It also entertains people while the bride opens gifts.
  
  **I tried to link a website with bridal bingo on it and noticed that some came pre-filled with common gifts.  We preferred to gie each a blank card and let them fill things in**

  My shower was on Saturday and we also did not play any games.
  That being said I have hosted several showers and Bridal Bingo is an great suggestion! I also set a timer when the bride starts opening gifts. When the timer goes off, the giver of the gift she is opening at that time receives a prize.
  Good luck!

  My MOH did this cool thing instead of a game. She took a picture of me with each guest as she arrived. Then one of our male friends who is coming to the wedding but not to the women-only shower came and got the camera, had the pictures printed, and brought them back. In the meantime, MOH handed out pretty notecards and instructed each person to write a piece of advice and a favorite memory of me. Then she put the cards together with the pictures in a photo album and I had to read the advice and memories aloud. It was really sweet, and now I have this wonderful album filled with lovely pictures.
