Classic Bridal Shower Games
When it comes to bridal shower games, there are some tried and true classics that have been played for years. These traditional games are popular for a reason – they’re fun, easy to play, and perfect for getting everyone involved.
Here are a few of the most popular classic bridal shower games:
The Newlywed Game
The Newlywed Game is a classic game that’s perfect for couple bridal showers.
How to Play:
In this game, the bride-to-be and her partner are asked a series of questions about each other. The questions can be silly or serious, and can range from “What’s your partner’s favorite color?” to “What’s the most embarrassing thing your partner has ever done?”
The couple writes down their answers separately, and then reveals them at the same time. The goal is to see how well they know each other – and to get some laughs in the process.

Another classic bridal shower game is trivia. This game can be customized to fit the bride-to-be’s interests, or can be general wedding trivia.

Ring Toss
Ring Toss is a classic game that is always a hit at bridal showers. It is a simple game that is easy to set up and play.
How to Play:
To play the game, you will need a set of rings and some bottles or other objects to toss them onto. The goal of the game is to toss the rings onto the bottles. The player who gets the most rings onto the bottles wins.
Ring Toss is a great game because it can be played by people of all ages and skill levels. It is also a game that can be played indoors or outdoors, so it is perfect for any type of bridal shower. To make the game more challenging, you can increase the distance between the bottles or use smaller rings.
Some variations of Ring Toss include using wine glasses instead of bottles, using different colored rings for different point values, or having players toss the rings onto a bride or groom cutout.
Bridal Shower Bingo
We all love bingo’s!
How to Play:
Create bingo cards with a 5×5 grid of squares. In each square, write down a different wedding-related word or phrase, such as “bride,” “groom,” “wedding dress,” “honeymoon,” and so on. Make sure each card has a unique arrangement of words.
As each guest arrives give them a bingo card and a pen or marker to mark off their squares.
The host should call out words or phrases related to weddings, such as “bridal bouquet,” “wedding cake,” “bridesmaids,” and so on. Players should mark off the corresponding square on their bingo card if they have it.
The first player to get five squares in a row (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) and shout “Bingo!” wins the game.
If you want to continue playing, you can play multiple rounds with different bingo cards or switch up the words and phrases called out by the host.
You can also put a spin on the game by handing out blank bingo cards to each guest when they arrive. Guests then fill out the squares with the items they think the bride-to-be is going to receive for gifts.
Then, start the game when the bride starts opening presents—make sure she calls out what each item is. The first person to get five in a row wins a prize.

At the bridal shower, each guest is given a copy of the list of questions and have them go around the room to find other guests who match each question. For example, if one of the questions is “Who has known the bride-to-be the longest?” guests should find someone who has known the bride-to-be for a long time and have them sign their name next to that question on their list.
Guests should try to find a different person for each question and write their name next to the question on their list.
