Popular Wedding Shower Games for Free

Everybody knows someone who has a huge purse with heaven knows what inside. You ever look at them and wonder why they are carrying around all that stuff? Well obviously they just want to be prepared for the What's In Your Purse Game! The rules are simple, you have a list of items that someone could have in their purse and assign a point value to each.

At your wedding shower pass out the list and have your guests start pulling items out of their purse and checking off any of the items they are actually toting around in their bag. You can have someone leading the game call out each item on the list in order or just let the guests do it on their own. You add up all the points and whoever has the most wins a prize.

If you decide to make your own list be sure to include some standard items for a low point reward and some crazy items for big points. If you would rather just print out a free version of the What's In Your Purse Game, click on the image.

Make your guests put on their thinking caps as they test their knowledge of weddings with the Weddings A-Z Game. Provide each guest with a page that has all of the letters in the alphabet in two columns with spaces to write next to each letter.

Then give your guests 5 minutes to fill in a single word that starts with each of the letters that is related to weddings. For example for the letter A the guest might write "Aisle Runner", for the letter B it could be "Breaking the glass". Once the time limit is up whichever guest has the most acceptable answers wins a prize. You can also award prizes for the most creative answer, the naughtiest answer, whatever you like.

Taboos and Tokens is the name of a game that is very popular at all kinds of parties because is it easy to adjust the game to fit with any type of gathering. You select a word that is Taboo, meaning your are not allowed to say it. And you give each of your guests at least one token(more if it is a small party), which serves as the currency for payment if you say the taboo word.

For a wedding shower the word "wedding" works well as the taboo word but you can pick any word you like. Just make sure it is a word that your guests would likely say often. Then when a guest says the taboo word the first person to call them on it is owed one of the offending guests tokens. The goal is to collect as many tokens as possible. For tokens clothes pins are commonly used as the guest can simply clip them onto their outfit without fear of damaging their attire and easily remove them if they slip up and say the taboo word.

You play the game throughout the party and near the end whoever has collected the most tokens is declared the winner and awarded a prize.

Of course you know the bride, but do you really know the bride. Find out with the How Well Do You Know the Bride Game. Print up worksheets with a list of questions about the bride. There should be general question about her like her favorite color, first job or (gasp) her shoe size. But also include questions related to the wedding like what month(or year) did she meet the groom and where did he purpose.

After all of the guests have finished answering the questions have the bride go through the list answering them one at a time. Encourage the bride to tell any related stories or secrets as she answers the questions. Once she is done whoever has the most correct answers wins a prize.
