If you’re planning a shower, chances are you’re wondering what kind of bridal shower games your guests should play.

While some showers are adamant about no games – to each their own! – I, for one, look forward to the games. It adds a fun element of surprise to the celebration. I mean, who is going to win the silly word scramble? Who truly knows the bride best? Who will show off their drawing skills and guess what gown the bride will wear?

And, we know you’re all thinking it… what prizes are on the table to win? :)

If you’ve ever been to a bridal shower in my family, we take our bridal shower games seriously and we have a lot of fun with them. We have a little competitive fun – and laugh about it when we’re totally wrong on our answers… and sometimes we have no clue what the bride would say. We learn a lot of fascinating facts about the couple to say the least.

The best showers I’ve ever attended as a guest always have games, and they’re always so much fun because the host takes the time to pick out which will work well with the couple and the crowd. And thankfully, there are plenty of awesome bridal shower games out there so you don’t typically find the same ones at each shower. And even if you do, the answers from the couple differ, and there’s never a dull moment.

Games are a nice addition to have because guests may not always know who they’re sitting with. By giving them an activity to do, they can mingle and chat about the games and get to know the couple better. Games are a welcome addition to any wedding shower, as you’ll see in this round-up below.

In this blog post, I’ve curated the best bridal shower games 2024 has to offer and I hope it helps you as you plan! Be sure to check out this page for prize ideas, too. After all, the game is just part of the fun… prizes are where it’s at. :) Enjoy!

1. Bridal Jeopardy by Very Sweet Boutique

Coming in hot at #1 is the game EVERYONE loves to play: bridal jeopardy, a parody featuring a question and answer game about the couple. Get the matching rings to go with your board and see how it all works here.

2. This or That Bridal Shower Game by White Wolf Paper Co.

This is a fun game to play: guess which one the bride is more likely to do, from this or that. The card is personalized with things about her like would she rather eat “tacos or pizza”, watch “baseball or football”, etc.

3. Bridal Shower Mad Libs by Kate Aspen

This fill-in-the-blank style game is a great way to get guests laughing! On the front, guests fill in the blanks for adjectives, nouns, etc. on a cute ring-shaped card.

When they pull up the top sheet, there’s another behind it with a story, using all the words they used. The bride reads them and picks the funniest one as the winner.

Get a huge bundle of these here.

4. Who Has The Groom Scratch-Off Cards by Moredun

One card will be customized by you with the groom’s picture… while a dozen others have famous celebrities! When guests scratch the card, it will reveal a gentleman’s face… but is it the groom? The lucky person who has the groom’s face on their card is the instant winner.

5. How Old Was the Bride? by Cedar & String

This is a cute one: upload photos of the bride at different ages throughout her life, then print them on the card with a line underneath each one. Guests have to guess how old she was when the photo was taken. This is a sweet way to show photos of the bride in her childhood, too, and guests love to reflect upon that!

6. What’s In Your Purse? by Redwood & Vine Design Co.

Go on, open up that giant purse and get points for all the random things you’re toting around! This fun game awards points for various objects you can prove you have inside the purse you’re carrying. See the full card and print yours here. The person with the most points wins!

7. Sketch The Dress by White Wolf Paper Co.

What will the bride’s dress look like? Give these cards (kraft or white paper) to guests and have them draw the style they think the bride will wear. Will it be an off the shoulder bridal gown? A strapless gown with a sweetheart neckline? A one-shoulder wedding dress with a long train? Guests will have fun guessing – and drawing – their visions. The bride picks the most similar style as the winner.

8. What Did The Groom Say by Willow Lane Paperie

When given a dozen questions, will the answers of what the groom says match what the bride says? Guests guess if the groom will get it right and the person with the most correct guesses of ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ is the winner. See the full card + get yours printed here.
