Bridal Shower Gifts--Fun Ideas
If you get to be the hostess of a bridal shower, it may seem a little overwhelming to come up with all of the ideas for how everyone, especially the bride, can have a great time. Since everyone is bringing a gift, why not spend it playing games with everyone’s bridal shower gift?
A fun game for a bridal shower gift is for everyone to bring in a gag bridal shower gift with their real gift. The goal is for everyone to spend less than five dollars on a cheap bridal shower gift idea, like a set of rubber dishwashing gloves or a car air freshener. Be creative! Encourage the bride to open her gifts first, and while she opens them, make sure that everyone encourages her to hurry up and open the gifts quickly so that you can play the games that are planned. Once she opens all of the bridal shower gifts, let her pretend to like them for a few minutes before you let her in on the secret. She’ll be pleasantly surprised!
Another bridal shower gift idea designed for a game is for everyone to get her a unique accessories. Make sure to plan on a variety of different items such as earrings, cashmere, bracelets, necklaces, cashmere hats, or beautiful pashmina scarves. Once the gifts have all been opened, have the bride try to put all of the jewelry on at once in 60 seconds and take pictures of the process. She’ll be sure to have lots of laughs about it when she looks through her photo album and remembers her bridal shower gifts!
If none of these sound right, an easy game to play with bridal shower gifts is to bring them in anonymously - and see if the bride can guess who brought each gift as she opens them! It can be a tricky game to play, but it always ends in lots of laughing and memories.
