20 Fun Bridal Shower Games That’ll Have Everyone Laughing
Every bride deserves a fun and love-filled bridal shower, and what better way to make it more fun than having some bridal shower games to make the bridal shower party filled with laughter? Here are 20 funny and interactive bridal shower games that will make her day. These include some non traditional bridal shower games and unusual bridal shower games. We tried some of these at my friend’s bridal party, and they were a hit. You can also use some of these with tweaks for a wedding shower party or bachelorette party.
Interactive & Funny Bridal Shower Games
What’s in Your Purse?
Okay, this game was HILARIOUS! I made a list of random things people might have in their purses—some normal, some totally unexpected. You got 1 point for lip balm, 5 points for sunglasses, 10 points for a pack of gum, and 20 points if you had something wild like a banana or a sock (yes, someone actually had a sock! ).
One of the guests had a tiny screwdriver in her purse (don’t ask me why ), and we all lost it! The person with the most points got a cute little prize—a scented candle!
Pass the Bouquet
This was like musical chairs, but instead of sitting, we passed around a bouquet while the music played. The moment the music stopped, whoever was holding it had to answer a fun question about the bride.
Some of my favorites were:
What’s the bride’s favorite ice cream flavor? (Spoiler: it’s cookies and cream )
Where did the bride and groom meet?
What’s one thing the groom loves about the bride?
We all learned so many cute little details, and there was SO much laughing!
Wedding Pictionary
I made little slips of paper with wedding-related words like “first dance,” “bride’s veil,” “throwing the bouquet,” and “wedding cake”. Then, teams had 60 seconds to draw while their teammates guessed.
One girl tried to draw “Honeymoon” and it looked like a sun with stick figures—no one got it, but we were all crying from laughter. Another person drew a perfect wedding cake, and everyone got it in seconds!
Bridal Emoji Pictionary
This one was a brain teaser but SO fun! I made a sheet with wedding phrases written in emojis, like:
(Bride to Be)
(Cutting the Cake)
(First Dance)
Everyone had to figure them out, and let me tell you—some people were STRUGGLING! One guest thought meant wedding vows… but nope, it was cold feet! The team that got the most correct won a mini spa kit!
Wedding Word Scramble
This was the fastest game but super competitive! I scrambled up wedding words like:
- “UBOQTEU” (Bouquet)
- “OEVL” (Love)
- “EDIRB” (Bride)
I gave everyone 2 minutes to solve as many as they could, and WOW, one guest finished them all in under 40 seconds! I swear she must have been a spelling bee champion.
Drinking & Social Bridal Shower Games
Ooooh, these drinking games were SO MUCH FUN at the bridal shower! Everyone was laughing, sipping, and having the best time! Let me tell you how they went down.
Sip If…
This game was a total icebreaker! I had a list of things like:
- Sip if… you’ve ever caught the bouquet at a wedding.
- Sip if… you’ve worn an ugly bridesmaid dress. (One guest took a BIG sip and told us about a lime green satin nightmare she had to wear! )
- Sip if… you’ve ever cried at a wedding. (Literally, every single person sipped. Weddings are emotional, okay?! )
- Sip if… you met your significant other online. (This one got some giggles!)
People started sharing little stories behind their sips, and we were all dying laughing! It was the perfect way to get everyone relaxed and talking.
Who Said It? (Bride or Groom)
This game was so cute! Before the shower, I asked the bride and groom the same questions separately, like:
What’s your favorite thing about each other?
Who made the first move?
What’s your go-to date night?
I read their answers out loud, and guests had to guess: Did the bride or groom say it?
Some of them were easy—like when the groom said, “She takes 100 years to get ready, but it’s worth it!” Everyone KNEW that was him.
But some were tricky! The bride said “We both love late-night Taco Bell runs”, and we all thought it was the groom!
At the end, the person with the most correct answers got a mini bottle of champagne as a prize.
Prosecco Pong
Okay, this was basically beer pong, but fancy! Instead of red solo cups, we used cute champagne glasses, and instead of beer, we used Prosecco (or sparkling water for non-drinkers).
We set up two teams, and the goal was to bounce a ping pong ball into the other team’s glasses. If you made it, they had to drink.
The best part? We played this at the end of the party, and let’s just say… our hand-eye coordination was not great by then. Balls were flying everywhere, people were cheering, and the bride was SO competitive! One of the guests landed three shots in a row and basically became the Prosecco Pong Queen.
All in all, these games kept the party fun, interactive, and full of so many belly laughs. If you want your bridal shower to be next-level fun, DO THESE GAMES!
Sentimental & Sweet Bridal Shower Games
These games were some of the sweetest and most heartfelt moments of the bridal shower. They gave everyone a chance to share love, laughter, and a little wisdom with the bride.
Date Night Jar
I set up a little station with blank cards and a jar labeled “Date Night Ideas.” Guests wrote down fun, creative date night ideas for the couple to try after the wedding. Some were simple, like “movie night with homemade popcorn,” while others were super unique, like “swap hobbies for a day—bride plays video games, groom takes a yoga class.”
One guest wrote, “Recreate your first date, but add something silly, like wearing costumes,” which had everyone laughing. The best part? The bride loved the ideas and said she and her groom would actually try them.
Advice for the Bride
This one turned out to be a mix of serious wisdom and hilarious marriage tips. Guests wrote down their best advice, and the bride read them aloud. Some were heartfelt, like “Always say ‘I love you’ before bed, no matter what.” Others were funny, like “Never let him go grocery shopping hungry.”
One guest, who had been married for 30 years, wrote, “Pick your battles. If he loads the dishwasher wrong, just let it go.” The bride was cracking up because she already knew her groom was terrible at loading the dishwasher.
Memory Lane
This game was such a sentimental moment. Each guest wrote down a special or funny memory they had with the bride, and she had to guess who wrote it. Some were from childhood, some from wild college nights, and some from just everyday moments.
One guest wrote, “Remember when we got lost on a road trip and ended up at a random wedding?” The bride immediately knew who wrote that one because it was one of their funniest adventures.
Another memory was from her mom, who wrote, “The day you were born, you wouldn’t stop crying until I wrapped you in your dad’s old sweatshirt.” That one had everyone feeling emotional.
These games really made the shower feel personal and meaningful. The bride got to laugh, reminisce, and take home memories and advice she’ll cherish forever. If you want to add a personal touch to a bridal shower, these are the perfect games to include.
Acting & Icebreaker Bridal Shower Games
These games were so much fun and had everyone up, laughing, and getting to know each other. If you want a lively bridal shower, definitely include these!
Bridal Charades
This one had us crying with laughter! I made a stack of cards with wedding-related actions like:
- Catching the bouquet
- Walking down the aisle in high heels
- A nervous groom saying “I do” with cold feet
- The awkward first dance
Guests took turns acting them out without speaking, and everyone else had to guess. One of the funniest moments? A guest acted out “wedding cake disaster” by pretending to carry a cake, tripping, and doing the most dramatic slow-motion fall. Everyone guessed it right away because it was so over-the-top. The bride was laughing so hard she had tears in her eyes.
Love Song Lyrics Challenge
For this game, I read out famous love song lyrics in the most robotic, emotionless voice possible, and guests had to guess the song.
I started with, “Take my hand, take my whole life too” and someone immediately shouted, “Can’t Help Falling in Love!” Another one that got people stumped for a second was, “You’re still the one I run to, the one that I belong to” before someone finally guessed, “You’re Still the One” by Shania Twain.
To make it even more fun, we had a rule: if you guessed the song correctly, you had to sing a line from it. Let’s just say… some people should probably never audition for a singing competition, but that’s what made it hilarious!
Bride’s Bingo
This was perfect for the gift-opening part of the shower because it kept everyone engaged. Before the bride started opening gifts, we handed out bingo cards with squares like:
- “Bride tears up”
- “Someone says ‘Aww’”
- “The gift is something blue”
- “Bride says ‘We actually needed this!’”
- “A guest takes a photo”
As the bride opened gifts, guests marked their squares. The first person to get five in a row yelled “Bingo!” and won a small prize. It was so fun to watch because as soon as the bride got emotional over a gift, everyone looked around to see who could check it off.
These games were the perfect mix of silly, interactive, and lighthearted fun. If you want guests to mingle and laugh, these are a must.
Competitive Bridal Shower Games
If you want a competitive and hilarious bridal shower, these games are the way to go! Everyone got super into it, and the friendly competition made the shower even more exciting.
Make a Wedding Dress (Out of Toilet Paper)
This one was pure chaos—in the best way! We split into teams, and each team picked a “bride.” The challenge? Create the most stunning, runway-ready wedding dress using only toilet paper in five minutes.
Some teams went super creative, adding veils, bows, and even a TP bouquet! One team made a mermaid-style dress, while another attempted a dramatic ballgown (which ripped apart immediately when their ‘bride’ walked).
When time was up, each “bride” had to walk the aisle (aka, the living room) while we cheered like it was New York Fashion Week. The bride-to-be picked her favorite, and the winning team got a prize. It was messy, ridiculous, and SO fun!
The Price is Right: Wedding Edition
This game was perfect for testing who actually knows how expensive weddings are. I prepared a list of wedding-related items with real prices, and guests had to guess the cost without going over (just like the TV show).
Some of the items we used:
- Wedding cake – $500
- Engagement ring – $6,000
- Wedding venue – $12,000
- Bridal bouquet – $200
Some guesses were shockingly accurate, while others were wildly off. One guest thought a wedding venue cost $500 total—we all wished that was true! The person with the closest guesses won a small prize.
Wedding Movie Trivia
If you love rom-coms, this game is for you! I made a list of famous wedding movie quotes and fun facts, and guests had to guess the movie.
Example questions:
- Which movie has the line, “You are the worst best man ever”? (The Wedding Ringer)
- In ‘27 Dresses,’ how many weddings did the main character attend? (27, of course!)
- What movie features a runaway bride who keeps changing her favorite type of eggs? (Runaway Bride)
Some guests knew every single answer, while others just shouted out random wedding movies and hoped for the best. It turned into a funny debate about the best wedding movies of all time.
Photo & Instagram-Worthy Bridal Shower Games
Bridal Photo Scavenger Hunt
This one turned into a full-on selfie competition! I made a list of fun challenges, like:
- Take a selfie with someone wearing pink
- Take a selfie making a “shocked” face with the bride
- Take a selfie with a drink in your hand
- Take a selfie with someone you just met today
- Take a selfie doing your best “bridesmaid pose”
As soon as I handed out the list, people were running around trying to complete them all first. One guest even jumped into a group photo with total strangers just to get her “photo with three people” checked off. The bride got so many hilarious photos from this game!
Strike a Pose!
We set up a photo booth area with fun wedding props like:
- Oversized heart-shaped glasses
- A veil and tiara
- A sign that said “Bride Squad”
- Champagne bottle cutouts
- A fake bouquet to “toss”
People got really into it—one guest even pretended to propose while another did the classic “caught the bouquet” jump! The bride took the best “before and after” photo—one where she looked elegant and graceful, and the next where she made the goofiest face possible.
By the end of the night, we had a ton of Instagram-worthy (and totally ridiculous) photos!
Guess the Dress
Okay, this one was pure gold. I handed out paper and markers and told everyone to draw what they thought the bride’s wedding dress would look like.
We had everything from super realistic sketches to absolute stick-figure disasters. Some people added:
- A 20-foot train
- Huge, poofy Cinderella skirts
- A mini dress with a leather jacket (for an ‘edgy bride’ look)
- A dress with LED lights (someone clearly watches too much reality TV!)
The best part? The bride picked two winners—one for most accurate and one for funniest. The funniest? A guest drew a giant cupcake-shaped dress and said, “I just feel like this is your vibe.” (It was definitely NOT her vibe, which made it even funnier!)
