Two Truths & a Lie
Known for breaking the ice, this is one of the popular bridal shower games. It allows each guest to introduce herself and tell the other guests three things about herself. Of these three things, two are true and one a lie. All the guests try to pick the lie, one by one. When they have made their guesses, the principle guest confesses her lie to them. The ensuing comments make the game hilarious. Depending on the mutual proximity of the guests, lies about private or sex life may be included in the game but the rules need to be announced before starting the game.
Black Magic
One of the hilarious bridal shower games is ‘Black Magic’. In this games, one of the bride’s close friends (the conspirator) conspires with the bride before the shower gathering. In the gathering, the conspirator casually mentions that over the years she and the bride apparently have developed an extra sensory perception (ESP) that allows them both to read each other’s mind. The bride affirms and, out of curiosity, the guests may want to know if the conspirator and the bride can display the connection. The bride is asked to leave the room and the crowd, including the bride’s ESP mate, selects an object to be guessed by the bride. The bride is called back in and the conspirator points to various objects in the room, asking ‘Is it this cup?’, ‘Is it this chandelier?’ etc. The bride will know beforehand that the correct object is the one pointed to after a black colored object. And she yells ‘Yes!’ when her friend points at it. Some acting skills are needed to make sure the bride and her friend don’t mess up.
The Clothespin Game
‘The Clothespin Game’ is one of the well-known bridal shower games in which a special ‘buzz word’ is chosen and each of the shower guests is handed a clothespin. Each time a guest hears someone saying the ‘buzz word’, she can take that person’s clothespin. The guest who gets the most clothespins by the party’s end wins the game.
Arts and Crafts
Bridal shower games like ‘Arts and Crafts’ are of interest to artistic guests. However, they are also liked by other guests who like to judge drawings and make hilarious comments. In this game, artistic guests draw and color their memories of the bride and/or groom and show them to the guests.
Who Am I?
This is one of the most fun-to-play bridal shower games as it is about guessing one’s own identity. Well-know couples (real or fictional), are chosen e.g. Romeo-Juliet, Bill Clinton-Hillary Clinton etc, and each name is written on a name tag. A tag is put on each guest’s back, without showing it to them. The guests go around the party and try to discover their identity by asking other guests (showing them the tags) questions like: ‘Am I man?’, ‘Am I fictional or real?’ and so on. Then they try to find their ‘mate’. The game ends when all the guests have ‘discovered’ themselves and their mates.
