  2. What's in your purse?

    This hilarious game gets guests talking and laughing as they dig through their purses and check off items on a list provided. Who would have thought Aunt Sally carried a screwdriver? Each item on the list is worth a certain amount of points. The woman with the most points wins a prize.

  3. 20 questions about the bride and groom

    This popular game reveals who knows the bride and groom best. Questions may include: Where did the couple meet? Where was their first date? How long did they date before getting engaged? And so on.The person with the most correct answers wins. It's also a great way for attendees to get to know the bride and groom on a more personal level.

  5. Bridal shower bingo

    This is a fun game to play as the bride opens the gifts. Bingo cards will contain items the couple registered for. Guests mark off the items as they are opened. Candy kisses can be used for the markers. Five in a row wins.
