He Said, She Said
He Said, She Said is a classic and hilarious bridal shower game that’s always a hit! In this game, guests try to guess whether certain funny, romantic, or quirky quotes were said by the bride, the groom, or both. Before the party, you (or the host) collect a list of statements from the couple — things like “I said ‘I love you’ first” or “I’m the better cook.” During the game, guests mark who they think said each quote. It’s a fun way to see how well everyone knows the couple and to share a few laughs along the way. The person with the most correct answers wins a prize, making it the perfect icebreaker and conversation starter for any bridal shower!
Bridal Bingo
This game can keep everyone engaged while the bride opens her gifts! Guests fill in their bingo squares with items they think the bride will receive—like towels, candles, or a blender. As she opens each present, players mark off any matches. The first to get five in a row shouts “Bingo!” and wins a prize. It’s the perfect way to make gift opening exciting for everyone!
Would She Rather
This game helps everyone get to know the bride-to-be a little better! Guests try to guess which option the bride would choose between two fun scenarios—like “Beach honeymoon or mountain getaway?” or “Stay in or go out?” The host reads each pair aloud, and everyone writes down their guesses. Whoever matches the bride’s answers the most wins! It’s a wonderful way to spark laughter and learn more about her personality.
I Love You Around the World
Guests can test their knowledge by matching how to say “I love you” in different languages from across the globe. It’s the perfect mix of romance, laughter, and learning—ideal for bridal showers, bachelorette parties, or even wedding receptions!
What’s on Your Phone & Purse
Guests check their purses (or phones) to see how many items from a prepared list they have. Each item is worth points, and the guest with the most points at the end wins a prize. It’s a playful way to see what everyone carries and adds a little friendly competition to your party!
What Did the Bride Say / What Did the Groom Say
This game is sure to bring plenty of laughs! Ask a series of entertaining questions separately—like, “What song always makes her dance?” or “What’s their most annoying habit?” Once everyone’s guessed, reveal the real responses!
Who Knows Them Best
Create a list of fun questions about the bride and groom—like “Where did they meet?”, “Who said ‘I love you’ first?”, or “What’s their favorite date night activity?” Guests write down their answers, and the one with the most correct responses wins! It’s a sweet and engaging way to celebrate the couple’s love story while getting everyone involved.
Over or Under
keeping guests entertained! The host reads a series of statements about the couple—like “They’ve been together for 5 years” or “The bride owns 30 pairs of shoes.” Guests have to guess whether each statement is over, under, or exactly right. The person with the most correct answers wins a prize! It’s a lighthearted and easy game that always gets everyone laughing.
Guess the Bride’s Dress
Give everyone a blank dress outline or a sheet of paper and some colored pencils, markers, or crayons. Guests then draw what they think the bride’s wedding dress will look like—from the style and neckline to the details and accessories. Once everyone’s done, the bride chooses her favorite design (or the one closest to the real dress) as the winner!
Would She Rather
Guests try to predict which option the bride-to-be would choose between two fun scenarios—like “Spa day or shopping spree?” or “Cake or cupcakes?” The host reads each pair aloud, and everyone marks their answers. Whoever matches the bride’s choices the most wins! It’s a great way to show how well everyone knows the bride and add some playful energy to the party.
Advice & Wishes for the Bride
This activity adds a personal touch to the celebration. Each guest fills out a card with their best marriage advice, sweet wishes, or words of encouragement for the bride-to-be. Once everyone’s finished, the cards can be collected in a keepsake box or scrapbook for the bride to treasure. It’s a beautiful and sentimental way to share love, wisdom, and warm wishes as she begins her new chapter.
Name That Tune

It’s the perfect way to add energy, laughter, and a little friendly competition to your celebration.

Scavenger Hunt
Give guests a list of fun items or tasks to find or capture—like taking a selfie with a stranger wearing a funny hat, snapping a picture of a bridal-themed item, or recording a short video doing a silly dance. Each completed item earns points, and the guest or team with the most points at the end wins a prize.
Drink If…
The host reads a series of statements like “Drink if you’ve ever caught the bouquet” or “Drink if you’ve been on a blind date.” Guests take a sip of their drink if the statement applies to them.
