When it comes to choosing the best bridal shower games, there might be a few things you’ll need to consider first. What kind of bridal shower are you hosting, how many guests are you inviting and what vibe are you going for? Once you’ve got a little more understanding of how you’d like your bridal shower to go, let’s get to the fun part: the games! Whether you’re into a loud and proud celebration or a more intimate affair… These bridal shower games are going to spoil you for choice!
The Best Bridal Shower Games To Choose From:
Often, the best part of a wedding is the preparation beforehand (hear us out first!)… And that’s because all the pre-planning is just one, endless stream of excitement! And that begins with the build-up to your bridal shower. Much like baby showers, a bridal shower is designed to celebrate the lady in question with all her nearest and dearest. One thing we know for sure is that guests need to be entertained – whatever the occasion – and that’s where we come in! Take a look at our list of the best bridal shower games around and get choosing, girl!
Find The Guest
Find The Guest is a classic icebreaker bridal shower game which we believe every bride-to-be can benefit from! The game is simple. Pick out some of these gorgeous pre-designed templates from Etsy, hand out one to each guest and ask everyone to work together to fill in the blanks with the name of the guest they think is most fitting. The guest with the most correct answers – wins! FYI: Be sure to have the answers written down on your template so it’s easy to compare with everyone else’s at the end of the game.
Who Has The Ring?
Who Has The Ring is a funny bridal shower scratch off game where guests have to scratch their cards in hopes of revealing a ring emoji. However, the fun doesn’t stop here! Guests who don’t reveal a ring are greeted with funny pun-infused losing remarks such as “Sorry you lost, but you’re still a gem!” and many more! You can see all losing remarks HERE on Amazon.
Oh and if a guest does reveal the ring emoji, then they must scream “I Do!”. Get it? Who Has the Ring?…I Do! You gotta love our sense of humor!
Ring Hunt
Much like the classic scavenger hunt, the concept of a bridal shower ring hunt is almost identical. Take a bunch of these realistic (but plastic) engagement rings and hide them around the house – or backyard if you’re hosting outside – and tell them to keep an eye out throughout the day. The guest who finds the most rings by the time the first gift is opened wins a prize – and gets to keep their kitty of rings! It’s a wonderful way to keep up morale amongst guests and really drive home the fact you’re getting married!

Who Can Make The Best Mimosa?
Possibly the easiest – and best – bridal shower game invented, Who Can Make The Best Mimosa? is ready and waiting to get your party started! The idea is simple: set up a table with your Mimosa Bar Kit, add some glasses, carafes, juices, and fruits – and put the champagne on ice. When you’re ready, ask your guests to come up to the ‘stage’ one-by-one and demonstrate their Mimosa creation. The most animated portrayal (and most delicious-tasting!) mimosa wins! The winner has the pleasure of making everyone a round of their special mimosas!

Charades: Wedding Edition
As we all know the game of charades, why not put a bridal shower spin on it and call it the Wedding Edition? Exactly! Etsy has done the work for you by creating a bunch of wedding-related charades cards to use with your guests. Ask your guests one by one to come up and act out their cards. Depending on the number of guests, decide whether you’d prefer to do this individually or in teams. The winner is the person or team with the most correctly guessed answers… With the best acting talent, of course!

Ring Toss
Although a more traditional 4th of July lawn game, Ring Toss has the ability to be a bridal shower game, too! For those who aren’t sure how to play (who are we kidding?!) the rules are simple. Get into teams, pick up a ‘ring’ and toss it in the direction of the pole. The team with the most successful shots wins! If you don’t already have an old set in storage, pick up one of these ropey ring toss sets on Amazon.
Wedding Traditions: Why Do We Do That?
The wedding edition of Why Do We Do That? is easily one of the best bridal shower games to play with your family and friends. It simply tests all of your knowledge about weddings and some of the weird and wonderful traditions they have! Do you know why the flower girl drops petals? Nope, check the quiz! You’re guaranteed to learn something you didn’t know before and your guests will love the wedding spirit in the air. Be sure to make sure you have a list of answers at the ready, though… We all know any kind of trivia can get a little heated at times!
Pictionary: Wedding Edition
A fun take on the classic Pictionary, the wedding version uses emojis to get your guests’ brains ticking – and create some healthy competition at your bridal shower! Sometimes it’s nice to take the attention off yourself for a moment so this bridal shower game is ideal for a quick breather. Pick up some of these gorgeous gold-rimmed templates on Amazon and hand them out to each of your guests. Set a timer for 10 minutes and let the games begin! The guest with the most correct answers wins – with some bragging rights thrown in for good measure, too!
Date Night Jar
The Date Jar concept is one you can have at your bridal shower – or on your wedding day if you prefer. It’s a lovely way for guests to get thoughtful – and creative! – about the bride-to-be and her partner, and you’ll really appreciate the ideas they come up with. Set up a little stand by the drinks table with a large mason jar, a few pens, and these pre-made Date Night Jar game cards from Etsy. When the party’s over, sit with your partner and read over them together with a glass of wine… Magic.

Bridal Bingo
Is a bridal shower complete without a game of Bridal Bingo? We think not! Thankfully, Amazon agrees with us and has created a bunch of different Bridal Bingo templates for you to choose from – although this floral number is our personal favorite! Hand out a bingo card to each one of your guests and lead the show by calling out the various bridal shower gifts you’ve received. The first guest to shout “BINGO!” is the winner – granted they’ve got all their answers right!
Guess The Dress
Last but most certainly not least, is the humble – but adorable – game of Guess The Dress! This is one of the best bridal shower games for one great reason: it brings you and your guests together. Hand out one of these stunning cardboard templates from Etsy and give each guest a white pencil to draw with. Ask your guests to draw out what they think your wedding dress is going to look like. If you want a real show-stopping moment, bring the dress out for a sneak-peak and revel in this unique bonding moment between you and your loved ones.
Until Next Time…
Well, well, well… There we have it, ladies! Some of the best bridal shower games for you to choose from – no matter what kind of bridal shower you’re thinking of hosting! We just want to take this moment to wish you a truly wonderful bridal shower experience and we hope your wedding day is the most special day of your life!
