The Classic “What Did the Groom Say?” Game
A bridal shower staple, What Did the Groom Say Game gives guests a fun glimpse into the bride and groom’s relationship. The bride writes down answers to silly questions the groom was asked, like “What was your first impression of the bride?” Guests take turns guessing the real responses. This game gets everyone laughing as they try deciphering the groom’s thoughts. Be sure to have the bride explain the inside jokes afterward for those who don’t know the couple as well.
Bridal Trivia
Test your guests’ knowledge of the bride with a bridal trivia game. Come up with questions about the bride’s life details, from her favorite childhood memory to her dream wedding song. Have small prizes ready for the winners. You can make it more challenging by having teams compete against each other. This game sparks fun memories and conversation about the bride.
Newlywed Game
Put the bride and some of her closest friends or family members through their paces with a version of the classic “Newlywed Game” show. Come up with questions only the bride would know the answers to, like her best friend’s first crush or her mom’s favorite flower. Award points to the teammates who come closest without going over. A silly twist on a classic!
Scavenger Hunt
Get everyone moving around the party with a bridal shower scavenger hunt. Hide items around the venue like a picture of the bride as a baby, a fake wedding invitation or her favorite candy. Provide clues and have teams race to find all the items first. You can even incorporate riddles or trivia into the clues to make it more challenging. The winning team gets a fun prize.
Decorating the Bridal Bouquet
Give guests a creative outlet by having them decorate the bride’s bridal bouquet. Provide ribbons, buttons, dried flowers and other embellishments. Vote on the most unique finished product. The bride gets a personalized, one-of-a-kind bouquet and guests feel involved in the wedding preparations.
Guest Favor Gift Wrapping
Rather than just handing out favors, have guests help wrap them for the bride. Provide things like candy, soaps or small plants along with ribbons and tissue paper. They get to feel like they contributed a special touch. The bride leaves with beautifully wrapped gifts as a sweet memento of her special day.

You can find plenty more bridal shower game ideas with a quick online search. The most important things are keeping guests engaged, interactive, and learning new things about the bride. Games like these will make any bridal celebration fun and memorable for all.
