Everyone knows there are two big events that usually happen for a Bride before her big day.
The Bridal Shower and The Bachelorette Party.
Bridal showers can be fun if you know what to do to keep the guests entertained here are a couple of games to try....
BRIDAL GOWN COMPETITION: You'd be amazed at the things people can make with only a few random supplies. Go through and split your guests up into even teams and have them designate a team captain. Generally I would advise you not to tell the guests what the game they are about to play is until you get these team captains assigned. Once this is completed deliver a box to each team with all the same items in it.... These items could include rolls of toilet paper, table cloths you didnt end up using for decor, tulle, garland, ribbon, tape, rubberbands, string etc. Now inform the guests that the team captain is now a bridal gown model and they are competing in a design contest. Guests will design bridal gowns using only the items in their box on their team captain. Tell the brides they have 10 minutes to complete their gowns before the runway opens up and the bride will get to vote on the dress she thinks looks the best. Winning team gets a small prize for each guest, or gets to get their food first, or gets to have the bride open their gifts first.
HE SAID SHE SAID: Prior to the shower call the bride and groom to be separately and ask them a list of questions. Preferably funny ones like: Who will be in charge of taking out the trash? or What is the stupidest thing you have ever done? and keep track of the answers. At the party Pick your top 10 responses and list them out on paper for each guest with a spot for guests to guess whether it was a statement from the bride or groom. At the end announce who said it and have guests tally up their points. One thing to have in mind is a couple of tie breaker responses just in case you need them for a sudden death tie breaker.
BRIDAL CLUE: As each guest arrives have them write on an index card something they have done with the bride or groom that shows their relationship bot not list their name....For example I might use "the bride and I slacked off together at our mall job trying on RIDICULOUS mismatching outfits one night" or "the groom convinced me to break up with my current boyfriend to date his roomate, who is now my husband". Then after you have started the party mix up the cards and hand them out to the guests and inform them that they have 15 minutes to find the person that the card belongs to by only asking other guests if they are the one who insert index card info here. When the time is up anyone who still has not found their person and has not received their own index card back has to make a toast to the bride to be in front of the group.
These are just a few of the games I have used in the past that have gotten a nice response. You can find more ideas HERE at theknot.com.
Bachelorette Parties:
Since this is a relatively family friendly blog I don't want to go into detail on parties I have hosted or attended, but I will make a quick mention that if you ever are in need of purchasing decor, games, or other items for a bachelorette party here is a legitamate website I have used in the past for bach parties. They have quality items, for low prices and quick shipping. The one time they made an error on my order they were quick to correct it. I will warn you though that items on this website range anywhere from silly to raunchy so prepare yourself..... But the prices just cannot be competed with here in Topeka on the items I have purchased without going to a million different locations. www.bacheloretteparties.com
Until next time... Make sure you keep it EASY PEASY LEMON SQUEEZY!
