Whether you’re hosting a cozy bridal shower or a full-on wedding reception, these bridal shower games ideas are a great way to get guests laughing, talking, and feeling like part of the celebration.

Here are 10 must-have bridal shower and wedding reception games, all available as printables in our shop —easy to set up, fun to play, and sure to make memories!

 

 

1. Guess the Dress Game

Let guests tap into their inner fashion designer at a Bridal Shower or Bachelorette party! The card features a simple bride silhouette and everyone sketches what they think the wedding dress will look like. The bride can then reveal the real dress, show a sneak peek photo or describe the dress to her guests. The closest match wins!

2. Bridal Bingo Game

This game is best for Bridal Showers. Guests fill in their own bingo cards with gifts they think the bride might receive, then mark them off during gift opening. Keeps guests engaged (and competitive!) during the unwrapping.

3. What Did the Groom Say Game

Before the party, ask the groom questions about the bride, the relationship and the wedding. At the shower, quiz the bride and see how many answers match. Sweet and funny!

A classic favorite! Guests go through their handbags and score points based on what quirky or common items they find—think lipstick, gum, receipts… or even a phone charger.

5. What’s on Your Phone Game

Similar to the purse game, but for the digital age! Guests score points for things like a photo of the bride, having a cracked screen, or a certain amount of battery.

6. He Said, She Said Game

Can your guests guess who said what? Use quotes from the couple like “I made the first move” or “I’m more likely to forget an anniversary” and let the guests guess who said it. Great for laughs and surprises!

7. Find the Guest Bingo Game

Instead of numbers, this bingo game uses fun facts like “Has been married 10+ years” or “Can speak another language.” A great way to get guests chatting and learning about each other!

8. The Wedding Shoe Game

A hilarious reception game for the couple! They sit back to back, each holding one of the other’s shoes. A host asks questions like “Who’s the better cook?” or “Who takes longer to get ready?”, and they raise the shoe of the person who fits the answer. Guests then mark the correct answers on their card to find out if they’re the winner.

9. How Well Do You Know the Bride Game

Put your guests to the test! Friends and family answer fun, personal questions about the bride—like her middle name, her favorite food, or where she met the groom. The person who knows her best wins bragging rights!

Challenge guests with fun trivia about the couple and their relationship. Are the facts on the card over or under the real numbers? Example: “The age gap between the bride and groom is 3 years – over or under?”
