Bridal Shower Ideas

Bri-dull Showers
Turn your dull wedding shower into a real party with some new and different ideas! Below are just a few gift and game ideas to get the party going. Enjoy!

Naughty & Nice Shower
What is a Naughty & Nice Shower? It’s a shower where guests bring one "naughty" gift for the Bride and Groom's honeymoon, and one "nice" gift. Collect all the naughty gifts in a black satin pillow case and tie with four long red ribbons for the couple's honeymoon night. Then play one naughty game and one nice game:

Dirty Game: Wear the Teddy
Put a teddy bear in a brown paper bag and tell the guests whoever gets stuck holding the bag in a game of hot potato has to wear the teddy! Don't tell your guests it's a teddy bear - they'll be terrified thinking it's a silky lingerie teddy!
Nice Game: Toilet Paper Wedding Dress
Divide the guests into two or more teams of at least three people each. The teams are given rolls of toilet paper, and each team chooses a "bride." Give the teams 20 minutes to create a wedding dress on their "bride" using the toilet paper. At the end of the allotted time, vote for the best wedding dress and the funniest, and give prizes to the winners.

Couples Stock the Bar Shower
Invite the guys because they'll want to be included! Have guests bring a bottle of wine to share, and a gift to help stock the couple's bar. Provide cheese plates and snacks, and spend a nice night with friends and family. No games necessary!

Makeover Shower
Small showers don't have to be boring! There are so many more things you can do at a small shower, like having makeovers for all the guests! Invite a Mary Kay or Avon consultant to do the makeovers and have a fun day of relaxing beauty and pampering!

Game: You Melt My Heart
Freeze little candy hearts in ice-cubes before the party. To play, give each guest one of the ice-cubes in a little cup and tell them they can try to melt the ice cube using any body part, but they can't take the ice-cube out of the cup. First one to melt completely, wins.

Kitchen Shower
This shower is all about good food and friends! Host a potluck dinner where every guest brings their favorite dish. Guests will also bring a recipe card for the dish to start off the new couple’s recipe collection. Gifts should all focus on the kitchen, and these crowd-pleaser games will fit right in! Give prizes to the winners, and let the guests personalize aprons as a favor.

Game: Name That White Stuff
Put 10 different white substances in Ziploc bags, like flour, powdered milk, and baking soda. Be sure to number the bags so you can keep track of the right answers.
Game: Herb Sniffing
Put 10 different herbs in individual numbered cups, cover with foil, and put several small holes in the foil. Guests take turns sniffing the herbs to guess which herb is in which cup.
