A bridal shower is a fun time for all in attendance, especially when entertaining bridal shower games are a part of the celebration. Bridal shower games do not have to be expensive to be impressive and fun. Homemade games for a bridal shower are some of the most enjoyable of all since they are unique and creative, and they are inexpensive because they make use of items on hand. The following fun homemade bridal shower games will help you get started on planning a fun and affordable party.
Herb and Spice Games
Spices and dried herbs have distinct scents, and those interested in cooking and baking are familiar with their distinguishable aromas. When looking for fun homemade bridal shower games, consider playing guessing games that use spices and herbs. Gather together several different aromatic spices and/or herbs, and cover each label with a piece of paper marked with a number. Security envelopes cut to size are ideal for covering labels. Provide each guest with a sheet of paper and a pencil, and pass the mystery herbs and spices around. Have the bridal shower guests write down their best guesses. The guest(s) with the greatest number of correct answers wins this fun homemade bridal shower game.
Fun Homemade Word Games
Word games are especially fun at bridal showers, and homemade versions are cheap and very easy to devise. Come up with a special phrase in honor of the bride and groom, and have the guests create new words from all of the letters in the phrase. For example, the letters in the expression, Best Wishes to Pam and Darryl, could be used to create dozens of new words such as bed, wed, mad, and law. The guest(s) with the greatest number of correctly spelled words made using the letters in the phrase within a predetermined amount of time wins this fun homemade game.
Word scrabble puzzles are also fun and exciting homemade games that can be incorporated into the theme or subjects of a bridal shower. Scramble words such as the names of the couple, where they will be honeymooning, or any other suitable words. Provide hints in parenthesis to indicate if the words are nouns, adjectives, proper nouns, etc. Make copies of the original list, and pass it out along with pencils when the bridal shower games begin. After a predetermined amount of time, calculate who has the greatest number of correct answers.
Handbag Scavenger Hunt Games
Scavenger hunt games are fun for adults as well as kids, and fun versions of typical scavenger hunt games can be turned into fun homemade bridal shower games. Consider hosting a homemade scavenger hunt game using a long list of random items that might be found in a purse. For example, the list can include items such as a paperclip, a quarter, a tube of lipstick, hand sanitizer, etc. The guest(s) that have the greatest number of items on the list wins the game.
These are just a few of the homemade games that are ideal for a bridal shower, but they can be changed in fun and interesting ways. Extracts can be used instead of spices in a fun guessing game. Homemade word find games can be changed and personalized, and a scavenger hunt game can include fun and quirky items that will generate many laughs. In any case, homemade bridal shower games will save money while creating lasting memories for all in attendance.
