When it comes to deciding on which wedding shower game ideas are best for you, there are a few things you might want to consider first. Such as, what kind of wedding shower are you planning, what vibe are you going for and how many people are on your guest list? Once you’ve got a greater understanding of your wedding shower plans, we can get to the fun part… The entertainment! So, whether you’re into a small gathering with your nearest and dearest – or the whole town’s invited, these wedding shower gams ideas are sure to spark some enthusiasm – among you and your guests!
The Best Wedding Shower Game Ideas To Choose From:
Now, it’s been said that often the best part of your wedding shower is the preparation beforehand – and we couldn’t agree more! Pre-planning is quite literally one, continuous stream of excitement building and it’s what really begins the build-up to your special day. As are baby showers, wedding showers are there to celebrate the bride with her friends and family and one thing we all know for sure is that they love to be entertained! Without further ado, lets take a look at some of these awesome wedding shower game ideas so you can get to choosing your faves!
1. The Not-Yet-Newlywed Game
First up on our list of wedding shower game ideas is The Not-Yet-Newlywed Game. Inspired by – yep, you guessed it – the newlywed game, it’s a simple game of knowledge between bride and groom – or your party members – and a true test of how well you know one another. Maid of honor will need to take over here: Ask the bride to sit on a chair where everyone can see her and give her a notepad and pen. Read out each question and ask her to record her answers. Once all the questions have been answered, read the answers to the group to see how well she did. You can even add some prizes into the mix if you want to spice things up! The best part? Pick up a list of pre-made questions from Etsy in this gorgeous style.
2. Find The Guest
Next up is the classic icebreaker of wedding shower game ideas: Find The Guest. The game is simple – choose your favorite pre-designed template – like this stunning one from Etsy – then print them out at home and hand one out to each guest on your wedding shower. Ask everyone to work together to fill out the blanks with the name of the guest that is most fitting to the statement. The guest with the most correct answers wins! Top tip: Have all of your answers written down on your template so you’re able to compare yours with everyone else’s once the game is finished.
3. Who Has The Ring?
Well, well, well… If it isn’t our latest wedding shower offering: Who Has The Ring? Now, if we do say so ourselves, it may just be our greatest creation yet! The game is simple – hand out each one of the 30 lottery scratch-off cards to your guests at your wedding shower, ask them to get a coin at the ready and get them to scratch away at their card! In one pack, there are 28 losing cards and 2 winning cards so you’ll know when your winners come up as they’ve got to shout: “I DO!” Once the winners have announced themselves, had out the two prizes you got them ahead of time. It’s such a great way to break the ice among new and old friends and due to our neutral yet feminine design, the cards can match any wedding shower theme!

4. Guess The Wedding Movie
Now, we all know how the game of charades goes, so why not put a wedding shower spin on it? The great news is that Etsy has done the hard work for you and created some awesome pre-made cards like these – ready and waiting to be cut into shape ahead of time. Simply ask your guests to come up to the stage one-by-one, draw a card out of the hat – or perhaps behind the veil? – and act out their chosen card. The winner is the person or team who get the most correctly guessed answers – along with the best acting skills, too!
5. Date Night Ideas
The Date Night Jar concept is a simple one – and one your wedding shower absolutely needs! It’s a wonderful way for your guests to get creative – and thoughtful – about the bride and her partner and there’s no doubt you’ll appreciate the great ideas they give you! Just set up a little stand near the drinks table with a little sign, a few pens and this gorgeous wooden date ideas box from Amazon. The coolest part of this wedding shower game idea is that once the celebrations are over, you and your fiance can sit together with a glass of wine and read them aloud to one another. Bliss.

6. Wedding Shower Emoji Pictionary
What’s better than Pictionary at any party? Well, wedding Pictionary at a wedding shower, of course! This wedding version from Etsy uses emojis to get yours and your guests’ brains going – and naturally creating some healthy competition between everyone at your wedding shower! It’s a great way to take the attention away from you for a while and shift it to some good-hearted games! Pick up some of these beautiful yet minimalistic templates from Etsy and hand one out to each of your guests. Set a timer for 10 minutes and watch the fun unfold! It goes without saying really but the guest with the most correct answers wins!
7. Bridal Bingo
Much like wedding Pictionary, Bridal Bingo is a fast-paced game that is super easy to play – thanks to Amazon! This pastel pink peonies number is our favorite and is an absolute steal! Simply hand out one bingo card to each of your guests and ask the maid of honor to be the MC. Ask your guests to fill out what they think your gifts will be and then your M.O.H will call out the various gifts you receive as you open them. The first guest to shout “BINGO!” is the winner – best to double-check their answers though!
8. Garter Toss
This might just be one of the most creative wedding shower game ideas we’ve heard of – so, here it is! Garter Toss is essentially Ring Toss with garters and beer bottles (or any drinks of your choice): both a cheaper and far more entertaining way to play a classic lawn game! The first player to fling their garter around one of the beer bottles wins – and the bottle, too! If you have a large wedding shower, get your guests into teams and make an afternoon of it. Oh, and we’ve made it super easy for you by finding this multi-pack of wedding garters on Amazon. Now you’ve just got to choose the booze…

9. Pin The Ring

Grab a blindfold, ask your guest to queue up for their turn and have someone film it so you can all laugh at your attempts once the game is over. The guest(s) who get the closest to the diamond wins!
