While we all know one of the main goals of any bridal shower is to celebrate the bride-to-be to the fullest, it’s also a rare opportunity to connect with friends and family and have a whole lot of fun! As with most pre-wedding celebrations, we believe it’s particularly exciting to plan a bridal shower that’s completely different from the wedding day. And that’s where some funny bridal shower games come in! Why you ask? Because no bridal shower is complete without entertainment – yes, it’s true – and we know how pressurized parties of any kind can be, so why not use fun and games to distract from the busyness of the day? Yep, it’s kinda genius, right?
The Best Funny Bridal Shower Games
Here at Cotier Brand, we thought it would be wise to take to the social realm – and modern-day mood board – of Instagram and find some of the best funny bridal shower games around. The best part? They are all tried and tested, of course! Without further ado, let’s dive into the best funny bridal shower games found on Instagram – along with the best versions we discovered on Etsy – so you don’t have to spend hours trawling the internet to find them. Thank us later, girl.
1. Guess The Dress
First up on our list of funny bridal shower games is the super creative and equally fun, Guess The Dress! It’s a game where the baby shower guests will need to draw and design the dress they think will be most closely aligned to the bride-to-be’s wedding dress – and they can add some accessories if they wish! It’s a great icebreaker among guests and is guaranteed to bring some joy and laughter along the way. Pick up this simplistic yet gorgeous template design from Etsy for $3.85 so all you need to do is print them off ahead of time.
2. How Old Was The Bride-To-Be?
Next on our list of funny bridal shower games found on Insta is the hilarious How Old Was The Bride-To-Be? The rules are simple: hand out one of these easy templates from Etsy for $3.43 (pre-printed, of course) and gather 8 photographs of the bride-to-be. In this case, the more nostalgic/funny the better so dig deep into those archives! One by one, show the guests each picture and ask them to write down their age guestimate until all photographs have been displayed. The guest with the most correct answers wins a prize!
3. Who Has The Ring?
Not that we’re biased or anything, but our very own invention might just be one of the funniest bridal shower games around! Meet our last bridal shower offering: Who Has The Ring? – available on Amazon for $11.99. We intentionally made it a very simple game to understand and play among guests, so try this out for size: take your pack of 30 lottery-style scratch-off cards and hide them under chairs and furniture in and around your entertainment space. Ask each guest to look out for a card and scratch it off once found. The two guests with the rings get to shout, “I DO!” and will get a small prize.
4. Would She Rather?
Would She Rather? is a really light and funny bridal shower game because simply put, it’s all about the bride-to-be! Guests have will have the opportunity to prove how well they know the woman of the hour by competing to answer as many questions on this adorable Etsy template – for just $3.00 – correctly. Just be sure to get the answers from the future Mrs before the game begins to avoid any confusion in the answers. The guest with the most correct answers wins a prize – and a whole lot of gloating glory
5. Guess The Guest
Now, it’s time to turn to the bridal shower guests for the ultimate icebreaker: Guess The Guest – which is extremely popular on Instagram. The game is super easy and enjoyable – so just choose your favorite pre-designed template from Etsy, like this one for just $2.70. Print it off and hand one out to each guest – making sure everyone gets a chance to play. Ask each guest to fill in the blanks with who they think fits each description best and game on! The guest with the most accurate/correct answers wins! For extra laughs, get everyone to swap their sheet with a neighbor to mark the answers – endless laughter guaranteed!
6. Ring Hunt
By now, we’re pretty sure that Ring Hunt is a renowned funny bridal shower game. Ideal for an outdoor bridal shower or garden party theme, the concept of Ring Hunt is closely aligned to that of a treasure hunt. Pick up some cheap, fake rings online and hide them around your backyard. Set up a little station with your pre-ordered Ring Hunt signage from Etsy for $3.53 and wait for the guests to arrive. Set a timer of 10 minutes and see how far they can go! The guest with the most rings collected wins the game and a small hamper for their success!

Naturally, the guest with the most correct answers wins. And who doesn’t love a win-win?
8. Bridal Shower Bingo
As an ode to the more classic bingo, Bridal Shower Bingo is an epically funny bridal shower game – filled with laughter and entertainment. Print off this gorgeous pastel floral template from Etsy for just $3.75 and have a pile of them at the ready. Hand out one to each guest and ask them to fill out the boxes with the presents they think the bride-to-be will receive. As she opens her gifts, each time one is on their list, they simply need to cross it off. The guest who gets 5 in a row gets to shout, “BINGO!” and wins a small prize.

9. Date Jar
Last but most certainly not least, is the fastly trending Date Jar – seen all over Instagram. While it may not be the most hilarious of all bridal shower games, we think its entertainment value is next to none – and makes for an awesome gift to the bride-to-be. Gather a mason jar, some wooden popsicle sticks, and some multi-colored pens and set up a little station with this rustic Date Night Jar sign from Etsy for $4.00+. To spice things up a notch, ask each guest to write down one sweet date night suggestion and one silly one to keep things interesting – and provide a little bit of laughter in between, of course!
