Choosing bridal shower games that your entire guest list will love is no easy feat.
Analyze your guest list and think through the games they’ll love playing. Then, sift through our list of curated, crowd-favorite games to choose the right fit for your guests.
In this post, you’ll find the perfect bridal shower games to spice up any party.
How to Pick Bridal Shower Games
Knowing your guest list is key to picking a game that your guests will love. For example, a few lingerie-based games are recommended when researching popular bridal shower games. Depending on who you invite to the shower, a game like this can be poorly received.
Take another example of most of the guest list meeting for the first time. You’ll want to choose structured games that promote conversations and get everyone laughing. Then, by the time the wedding comes around, everyone knows each other pretty well.
Analyze your guest list and think about what it needs. Then, browse through popular bridal shower games and select a few that suit your group well.
Keep in mind that no games might be a fit for your group. Are your guests extroverted and able to carry on conversations easily? They may enjoy a few “background” activities but otherwise structure their own time chatting.

Unique Bridal Shower Games
Finding a unique game makes it a great fit for other elements of your bridal shower. For example, garden-inspired bridal showers have a DIY bouquet station, where guests arrange their own floral bouquet that they then get to take home.
If DIY bouquets are a good fit for your bridal shower, call a local floral shop and request “floral fill.” They’ll give you a good mix of flowers and greenery.
DIY Bouquet Supplies
Another great example of a unique game can be found at Italian themed bridal showers. Hosts of these showers will host olive oil or wine tastings and then give mini bottles of Italian olive oil or wine as the party favors.
If you’re looking for a game to customize to fit your party, try the bridal shower ring game. This game is easy for guests to grasp onto, and has so many different versions that it’s guaranteed to be a fit for any party.
Easy Games
Easy games are one size fits all and don’t take a ton of prep. Sift through these pre-made games to see if one’s a good fit for your party.
Bridal Shower Prizes
Just as important as your games, you need to choose a great bridal shower prize lineup. When guests see fantastic prizes, they’re way more into the games that they play.
Depending on what you plan for bridal shower favors, your game prizes can make fantastic favors for a few guests. For example, a Redditor writes about her favorite game – a guessing game where people guess if names were those of nail polish or porn movies. Depending on how conservative your family is, this game might not be a great fit. But, if it is, it’s always a crowd favorite that gives your guests some nice nail polish.
