Games are meant to be the fun part of the shower, and when you get the right games + the right mix of guests…they are. But pick the wrong ones and they can bomb. Instead of picking just any old game, take into account the bride’s personality (she most likely has friends that have lots in common, right?) and pick things she would like…voila…you’ve got games the group will think is fun.
I’d like to propose this… tell me a little about the bride, and I’ll recommend the best bridal shower games. Are you game?
Is the bride…
Sweet & Sophisticated
This bride is sweet, kind-hearted, can get along with anyone, and is always in style. Her hair, her clothes, and her personality say this bride is ready to have fun…but not with super silly kiddish games.
Emotionally Stable & Not Easily Upset
This bride has fun with everything, always has a smile on her face and is most likely quite spontanious. Her motto is “don’t worry, be happy” and she handles stressful situations better than anyone you know! She has no idea how amazing she is and you can have tons of fun with any bridal shower game, because you know she won’t take it personally if you poke a little fun with her.
Career-Focused
This bride has more co-workers as friends and focuses her entire energy (does she have any left beyond wedding planning?) into her career. She is most likely kind, tough, strong-willed and determined. She moves everyone around her with her bright, energizing smile.
High-Maintenance
This bride likes everything to be just perfect…and loves to have attention focused on her. (A bridal shower is a perfect opportunity for this!) She may be amazingly concieted and very crazy – a little out there – but that is what makes her so loveable!
Intellectual
This bride is very smart, and devoted to literary or scholarly pursuits. She won’t want any games that are too easy – testing her brain-power with challenging games will be fun for her.
Domestic Diva
This bride is a domestic goddess, maintaining house, job, boyfriend, and dogs with seemingly no effort. The proof that it really IS an effort is in her buff arms, which could easily be used for celebrity body-double purposes.
Unknown
