               IDEAS ON HOW TO GIVE A BRIDAL SHOWER!

 

The Bridal shower is usually given by the Maid of Honor, but in reality,  anyone can host the bridal shower, bridesmaids, family, friends, co- workers.  Some brides have multiple bridal showers: for example – A shower given by family, a shower given by friends, a shower given by co-workers, a couples shower,  one for both your families which can be given together, or two separate showers, depending on the size of guests involved.

Make sure to register for a Bridal Registry at your favorite department store.

Games for Bridal Showers

Place a picture of the Bride under a random guest chair before guests arrive – during the shower announce it & whoever is seated there receives gift.

Have a picture of the Groom enlarged to poster size – make out of paper

bowties or lips and play pin the bowtie or kiss on the Groom.

Make a list of Brides & Grooms personal info, like favorite color, restaurant,

date they got engaged, date they met, etc.  Ask guest to answer these questions,  person with the most correct answers gets a gift.

Have a collage of baby pictures of Bride along with other babies – then see if anyone can guess which baby picture is actually the bride.

Put a teddy bear in a brown paper bag, then tell guests that there is a sexy teddy inside and whoever gets stuck holding the bag while playing hot potato, has to wear the teddy.  They will be horrified thinking it is a sexy lingerie in the bag!

 

All of the above ideas can be combined for more fun & excitement.  For example, the Lingerie Shower can be combined with the Beauty makeover shower and the Bed & Bath shower can be combined with the naughty but nice shower. Its all up to you, have fun with it and enjoy!
