Wedding Shower Games

Advice for the Bride
Cut construction paper into small heart shapes and attach pipe cleaner. Hand all of the guests one with a pen and ask them to write "advice for the bride" example, "never go to bed together mad".

Place completed hearts in a vase and ask the bride to read them out loud. This is a great keepsake for the bride. more games

Collage
Separate the guests into several teams. Have an assortment of magazines (usually 3-5 per group), glue, scissors and an 11x14 piece of construction paper, for each team. Give each team a list of WORDS and or PICTURES (usually about 15 items of either or combination of both) of things that they need to find in their magazines that they need to glue to the paper. First team finished wins! Now what do you do with the collages?? Give them to the Bride to be of course! So when making up your "items" put a little fun in them like...."A man in jeans Butt" the word "Penis" the "Name of the Bride to be" (that one can be tough to find so they can cut out some letters for that one...that should be the HEADER of the paper) or perhaps you want to find words that describe the bride to be. The suggestions are endless!

Peculiar Game
This is a rather peculiar game
It really does not have a name
It's simple to play as a game should be
You just do as you're told, you see
So now if you'll please give me your attention
We'll put an end to this suspension
In the end, whoever scores the most
Will receive a prize of which to boast
Now since you're all fashionable girls
Give yourself 5 if you have any pearls
You may add 3 if your toes peek out
And earrings will give you 2 more to shout
Score yourself 5 if you show any red
Add 6 more for a curl on your head
Now before you think you are going to win
Take away 2 for each safety pin
Give yourself 6 if your pants are tight
Add 1 for a scarf which is just about right
Add 5 more if your shoes are black
And take away 3 for a zipper in back
Now count all your buttons, for each you get 2
And take away 1 for each button that's blue
Give yourself 5 if your heels are high
And why not take 10 for the green in your eye
10 more points for a rose on your clothes
Take away 5 if you forgot to wear hose
If your husband you kissed today - add 9
If you didn't subtract 12 - you're subject to fine
This is the end...there isn't anymore
Who is the lucky lady with the highest score?

Scrambled Words
Make a list of several words associated with weddings (i.e. marriage, husband, wife, bridesmaid, groom, bride, honeymoon) and then scramble them. Give the guests 2-3 minutes to try to figure them out. The guest that figures out the most correctly win the prize. more games

Who Knows the Bride Best
This is similar to the Trivia game.  Only the Bride to be fills out an info sheet on herself (favorite food, restaurant, pet, place she wants to live ..etc.) she should have about 20 things. For example: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? What is your favorite place to eat lunch? Give the same questions to each guest and have them fill out what THEY think her answers would be. -----Got the idea?

I NEVER
The first person starts out with a true statement (I never kissed before) and anyone that has done whatever the person says has to throw in (pennies, candies, or you have the people eat candies starting out with 10 or whatever you decide to use).

The person with the most items left wins. It's a funny game! more games

Purse Power
This is a great game! Have all the guests have their purses in front of them for this game. Make a list (beforehand) of common and uncommon things that can be found in a woman's purse. Assign each item a point value. (hairbrush might be worth 2 points, lipstick 3 points/5 if it is red, mirror...etc.) Uncommon items should have a higher point value (lotion, staple remover....you get the idea!) Liven things up a bit and put down a condom and value that at 20 points! The list is endless and is great fun! Keep the items simple and not too uncommon or you may wind up with an unhappy guest who doesn't have anything but a wallet in her purse!!
VARIATION to this game might be: Have the BRIDE to be hold the "master" and let her decide what "item" should be found and the first person to present that item receives the points for that round. You will need a score keeper or let them keep their own.

Party Piñata
This is for a bridal shower/bachelorette party. The person planning the party buys an empty piñata, or makes one, and fills it with dirty little favors, instead of kiddies candy, such as condoms, Hershey kisses, lollipops (lil' suckers), a lace garter (for bride), and other kinky toys and items. When the bride hits the piñata and breaks it, out pops out these dirty little surprises that will make a memory of a lifetime! more games

The Bell Game
Each guest that comes to the shower gets a small liberty bell on a ribbon necklace. They wear the necklace until taken away by another guest. You lose your necklace by saying the bride or grooms names. You may only refer to them as the "bride" or the "groom".  The guest with the most bell necklaces wins.

Bridal Dress
Before the shower, purchase several rolls of white toilet paper. At the party, divide the guests into two or more groups of 3-5 people. Each group must choose a model for their wedding dress (mothers of the bride and/or groom work wonderfully). The goal is for each group to design and fashion a "wedding dress" out of toilet paper. Accessories are allowed (earrings, bouquets, trains, headpieces, wedding ring, etc.), but they must all be fashioned out of toilet paper. Once the groups are finished, the bride must pick the winner of the contest. This is my favorite bridal shower activity. And brides love this contest for the wonderful photo-memories it provides.

Design the Bride's Dress
In groups of four, one person is the model and the other three are the designers. They design a dress that they think the bride would like.  When everyone is done, the bride picks the one she likes best and that group is the winner.  Depending on how many people are at the shower, you can show them to the bride in a fashion show style. more games

Exchanging Gifts
You will need some floor space to play this one... get everyone in a circle and place some wrapped gifts in the center, usually a number less than the number of guests that arrive. Wrap them in all different size boxes, and colors and pretty them up with a bow or unique wrapping paper. The gifts should range from a really cheap joke or an inexpensive (like the anything less then $1.00 stores) to a few nicer gifts (bath beads, little picture frame ..etc.) Set a timer for about 10 minutes (longer if you have more then 15 guests). Start with the Bride-to-be. Give her a set of dice and tell her to roll them. If she gets doubles, she picks out a prize in the center of the circle. Then start passing the dice around the circle. Anyone that gets doubles may take a prize from the circle. Once all the prizes from the center are gone (this is where the FUN begins!) the guests can start to taking gifts from the other guests, when they roll doubles or "trade" with another guest. Keep passing the dice around until the timer goes off. Whoever has the gift at the end gets to keep it! It is funny to see what gift the guests start fighting over because of the shape/size of the box or even the wrapping paper. Nine times out of ten the guests end up fighting over that joke gift! ...NOTE... as you may have been able to guess, NONE of the gifts can be opened until the timer goes off at the end!

Skirt Tails
Whenever the guests arrive you hand out to them one per person a clothes pin. (a cute idea is to decorate wooden pins with names or pictures) whenever they get it, you pin it to your skirt tail or the bottom of your pants leg. You are not allowed to cross you ankles or legs. If you are caught with any of the two crossed the person who notices it runs over and takes you pin. The person with the most pins wins the prize to give to the bride. This is a fun game to play and it really brakes the ice. After the shower is over all of the decorative pins are given to the bride. Some pins may even have her name/his name and even the date on them.

It is a very interesting way for her to look back on her shower and it brings back smiles. You will be surprised how some women get aggressive about getting the most pins. :)  more games

The Wedding is Over
Tell the guests and bride to pretend the wedding is over and it is the wedding night. The motel/cruise boat/etc. that the couple is staying in loses all electricity and the bride must prepare for her wedding night in complete darkness. Next blindfold the bride and hand her a suitcase. He must put on everything in the suitcase. Put items in it such as sunglasses, men's underwear, big bra, work gloves, or anything else that may bring a laugh. (She puts all this on over her clothes!) When she is done take a picture ...it's hilarious!

Famous TV Couples
Write down the last names of at least 20 famous TV couples, and your friends and family have to put in the first names. give only about 5 minutes to guess the names. then read the first names and the TV show that thy were from. it's a fun game to play, who ever gets the most wins the game.

Touchy-Feely
You can use paper or cloth bags, so that the guests are able to feel the item. Find about 10-15 common items around the house (i.e. remote control, video tape, pen, tooth brush, etc.) and place the items in each bag. Pass the items around for the guests to feel. They're allowed to 15-30 seconds to hold the bag, then they must pass to the next guest. They should have a pen and paper to write down their guesses. The guest with the most correct answers wins. more games

The Apron Game
Buy an apron and have the bridal party buy lots of utensils to pin on the apron. Make them practical and a couple of things they would never think of buying until they need them. Pin all of the items on the apron. Have the bride wear the apron in front of all of the guests. Have her walk around the room for about 2 minutes. Then have the bride go into another room and have the guests try to list as many things as they can remember seeing pinned to the brides apron. The person with the most wins! Then tell the bride she gets to keep the apron!!

Match Them
Cut out pictures from the local paper of couples celebrating their 50th (etc.) anniversaries. Usually along side the picture is their wedding picture. Mix them up and have the guests guess then and now.

Musical Bouquet
Take a bridal bouquet along with a CD (love song collection). As long as the music is playing, the party guests should pass the bouquet around until the music stops. The person with the bouquet when music stops should have a seat. The last person standing is the winner. more games

Pass the Corsage
Each guest that comes to the shower gets a corsage. They should wear the corsage until taken away by another guest. You lose you corsage by saying "bride" or "groom".

The guest with the most corsages wins.

Balloon
Put questions in about 10 balloons. These questions should really be personal or embarrassing. When the bride to be gets it wrong she should down a tot of brandy or whatever mixture is made on for her.

Creating the Veil
Collect veil material, ribbon, thread, flowers etc. ahead of time and make enough sets for the number of people who are attending the shower.  Each will create a veil for the bride in a given period of time. Have someone else judge which is most creative, prettiest, wildest etc. Prizes are nice. Have the bride model each as they are judged. more games

Make up the bride
Get a variety of colors of cosmetics, (bright reds, greens, purples, the louder and bolder the color, the better). Ask for volunteers. Have the bride sit in the middle of the room. Have the volunteer choose a cosmetic. Blindfold the volunteer. Blindfolded volunteers are to "make-up" the bride. Then, the bride and make-up artists pose for a photo. This gets absolutely hilarious.

Secret Word
When guest arrives have a board with your secret word hid on it and let them know that who ever is the first to use the secret word to the bride is the winner. (example) secret word is (nervous) if some one asks her if she's nervous is the winner.

Kitchen Shower Game
Either purchase an assortment of kitchen utensils or use what you can find in yours. Attach cord or ribbon to each. Let guests decorate bride with 'things she will need to 'become familiar with'. They can be creative about where they hang these to her body. She should 'wear' these for a while at least, and then have her picture taken.  If items were purchased, they can be given to the bride. more games

Smell the herbs
Take 10 Styrofoam cups and fill them with 10 different herbs. Place aluminum foil over the top with a small whole in the center. Pass around the cups and let everyone smell the herbs (no peeking) and whoever gets the most right wins.

Honeymoon Adventure
When the bride is opening the presents for the shower, have someone discretely jot down the phrases she says. For example, "oh...this is wonderful," or "oh, this is so big!", or "I've never seen this before."

Then you take all these phrases and put into phrases or like a story of how their honeymoon is going to go. This is the funniest thing I have ever seen, and everyone can't help but laugh!!! more games

Can You Blow
Purchase round balloons (8 inch rounds work best). Poke holes with a pin in one before the party. Place the pierced balloon strategically so the bride selects it when you pass them out or hand the balloons out so the bride receives the pierced one. Instruct your guests that the person whom blows up the balloon till it explodes wins. In the meantime the bride can't seem to blow up her balloon at all. It's a lot of fun to watch as the brides realizes she been had. more games

Cotton Ball Game
Each guest who participates is blindfolded. Cotton balls are spread on the floor. The guest is given a large plastic spoon and a bowl. The object of the Cotton ball Game is to pick up as many cotton balls with a spoon and put them in the bowl while blindfolded. The guests are given 1 minute. The guests who picks up the most gets a prize. *The game works best with small groups because the Cotton Ball Game is a one person game, however the game can be played as teams. more games

Bridal Pictionary
Write down as many names of things associated with weddings and brides on slips of paper. Put the slips into a bag. Divide all of the guests into two teams. One person from each team gets a chance to draw the word on a slip of paper pulled out of the bag, and the team must guess what is being drawn in one minute. If the team drawing doesn't guess the word, the other team gets one minute to guess it. As they guess correctly, each team gets a point. The winning team with the most correct guesses wins the prizes. more games

Penis Perfection
Play dough is inexpensive, so the hostess buys each guest their own container. With the timer set for 1-3 minutes (depending on your opinion) each guest try's to shape their play dough into the best penis, and when the timer goes off, each penis is set on the floor in the middle of the room, and the bride to be judges the best looking one, and possibly maybe a prize for the worst looking one (but don't tell your guests that, or they will try hard to make it look bad). It is also neat as they lay on the floor to take a picture of all of them together, and to see how colorful they look with the different color play dough. more games

Name that Bride
Cut out the faces of the brides in bridal magazine pictures and replace them with the faces of celebrities (popular and not-so-popular). Pass them around and have everyone write down their answers/guesses. The person or persons with the most correct answers wins a prize. more games

Have pre-printed paper with different questions about the bride, etc What is the brides favorite color, What does the bride plan to name her first child, what size does she wear? Pass the paper out to the guests and set a time limit who ever gets the most correct is the winner. more games

Caught In the Middle
Have everybody sit in a circle. Get several brown lunch bags and put something in them (make-up, baby food, clothing items). Start some music and pass a bag around. When the music stops the person with the bag and the person who handed them the bag must go to the center. Both are blindfolded and then the contents of the bag are revealed. The one with the bag must do something with the object to the other person (feed baby food, put the lipstick on). It's really funny, especially when the person with the bag can't figure out what the object is.

Date Game
Starting with the person sitting to the left of the bride, go around the room until each guests has told their birthday or the date of their wedding anniversary. The person whose date is closes to the wedding wins a prize. more games

Memories
This sentimental and emotional game was played at my sisters bridal shower. All the guests have to sit around in a circle and starting from the person to the left of the bride everyone states what they most fondly remember about the first time they met the bride or they're most cherished memory about friendship or the happiest memory. Though I suggest this game should be played at an only female shower since 99.9% everyone especially the bride dabs their eyes!

Create the Future
Break the guests up into groups and give each group a stack of old magazines, scissors and a photo album page. Assign each group a topic i.e. the couples courtship, honeymoon, their home, kids, ect. Have each group make a collage pertaining to their topic by cutting pictures out of the magazines. Once finished, put all the pages into an album and pass it around. It is hilarious to see what everyone comes up with.

Operator
All of the shower guest sat in a circle. The person to the left of the bride starts by saying, "My name is Mary and I am going to Jennifer's bridal shower and I brought many oven mitts" (The point is to make your "gift" start with the same letter of your first name. This is very important because it is a clue for the other part of this game.) Then the person to the left of Mary would say "My name is Sally and I am going to Jennifer's bridal shower and I brought seven silky slips and Mary brought many oven mitts." Continue around the circle with each person saying their name and "gift" and then also reciting the names and "gifts" of the people who had already taken a turn. more games

Recipe for Marriage
What you do is give everyone a piece of stationary and have them right down what they would consider a recipe for a good marriage would be. When everyone is done you have them fold their recipe in half and put it in a bowl or hat and you then draw the recipes out one by one and read them off and everyone has to guess who may have written the recipe. It is not only a good way to get to know each other and laugh but you can only imagine what kind of recipes you get.

Where's My Underwear
Each guest is asked to bring a brown paper bag containing their favorite sleepwear. The bride gets to guess who it belongs to. It's fun because someone will just have a crummy old T-shirt and socks, someone will have a frilly nightgown, someone will have a mu-mu. It's really a hoot. The guests will get an idea of the other guest's personality (fun, crazy, sexy whatever).

Complete Set of New Plates
a bridal shower at one of those paint-your-own ceramics shops. The bride selected a color scheme and each of the 8 girls in attendance painted a dinner plate using the color scheme, but added a little of their own personalities as well. All the while, the shop serves coffee and pastries and plays funky music. By the end of the shower, the bride ends up with a complete set of casual dinner plates, personalized by her best friends! more games

Bizarre Wedding Advise
guests were given two slips of paper. One piece was to write down a question related to a marital problem. The second slip was to write down the answer to the problem they came up with. Then, a bridesmaid mixes up all the slips of paper and puts together questions with unmatched answers. It creates some interesting advice!

Build a Groom
Borrow a set of the groom's clothes, long pants, long sleeved shirt, socks, shoes, gloves, and a hat if he wears one. Stuff the clothes with gifts for the bride. Wax paper, handy wrap, aluminum foil, rolling pin, etc. Make good arms and lower legs, paper towels work the best for thighs. toilet paper works good for a chest, and 2 bowls put in a pair of panty hose work for the head. for the extras two sets of inexpensive measuring spoons taped together spoon to spoon can be placed in the pants. This handsome groom may sit in a chair at the side of the room when guests arrive. the bride gets to undress him as part of her opening gifts don't let her know what's up in advance.

Vowels Using Songs
At my bridal shower we had this game that everyone was split up into groups of 4 or 5 and each group had to help the bride write her vowel's using only songs it was so funny and some were even so sweet it made me cry.

Truth In M&M's
Pass around a bag of m&m's, have everyone take how many as they wish. When everyone is done, they then have to tell one thing about the bride for how many candies they have in their hands. NO EATING ANY!!! more games

Story Telling
Ask the bride ahead of time to tell you about how she met her groom, and different things about their life together. Put a simple story together using store products. Ex: Many years ago, a handsome young man (groom's name) met his "Lucky Charm". You can either purchase all the products yourself and present them to the bride as you read the story, or write a product on each invitation and ask that person to bring it to the shower, unwrapped. I usually buy a laundry basket to set in front of the bride to put the products in as the story goes on. Be creative, there are so many things you can use. Here are just a few of the things I have used in the past: Luv's Diapers, Trix, Cheer, All, Life cereal, Manwhich (she knew this was the manwhich she wanted to spend her life with), Pledge, Charmin (he was very charmin), bounce, secret, carrots (how many carrots in the ring) sparkle, snickers, and so on.

Hanger of Wisdom
My aunt took one of those fancy padded hangers (in ivory, one of my colors), added a burgundy appliqué (my other color), then she attached several long ivory ribbons. At each end, she tied little white cards (with a whole punched in the corner of each), so that the ribbons hung down about a 12-18 inches. The hanger had a note saying that it is for me to hang my dress after the wedding, but for the shower, it should be passed around, so that all the guests could write a special message or prayer for me and my fiancé. What a NEAT way for me to have a special reminder of the day!

Date Game
Starting with the person sitting to the left of the bride, go around the room until each guests has told their birthday or the date of their wedding anniversary. The person whose date is closes to the wedding wins a prize. more games

On Their Wedding Night
While the bride is opening her gifts, have one person write down everything she says every time she opens a gift. When she is finished, have someone read the list addressing it as "Things so-and-so will say to her new husband on her wedding night." It's really funny because things like "Wow, it's so big," and "Oh, it's heavy" come out.

What Year?
Pick a year with the bride-to-be where a lot things happened/things took place. Once you both pick a year, then you must present these things to the guests in the form of a question. (Kind of like Dateline). You must then give them 3 or more different years to chose from. The one who guesses correct is the winner. Here are some examples of questions: What did she first kiss a boy?, What year did she go on her first date...etc.. Another to add, is to pick a song or something that occurred in the media.

Mouse Trap Game
First tie a long string to the back of a belt. Give each player a raw hot dog. When it is her turn, each player should carefully tie the string to one end of her hot dog. (You may also poke a hole in the hot dog and thread the string through.) She then puts the belt on and the hostess adjusts the string so the hot dog is hanging just below her knees. Next set a mouse trap and place it in the middle of the floor. The object is for the player to set off the mouse trap with the hot dog by squatting over it (no hands!) but without getting the hot dog caught. If no one does it without getting their hot dog caught then the person with the longest hot dog left wins. I've never laughed so hard in my life. more games

Scavenger Hunt
After having a group of the girls meet at a house the bride was given a list of bars to go to and items she had to get at each bar. ie: we went to a real dive bar and she had to find three business cards from the patrons, we went to a bar called "Misty's Fifty's" and she had to collect 50 pennies from the customers. A sports bar she had to have her picture taken with ten single men. She even had to go into a strip club and get a condom from either the washroom vending machine, or a customer. She was labeled "Bride-to-Be" and had at least ten of us with her at a time. The bars were good about it because we told them when we went in what we were doing and we bought a round at each bar. Make sure you have a DESIGNATED DRIVER for this one!!! Tons of fun!!!

Hot Dog in a Bottle
You tie a string on a hot dog. The string should be long enough to be wrapped around the hot dog and the waist of a female. You tie the string around the person so that it hangs between their legs. It is best to have it have it hanging around the back side. You than have a bottle that has an opening larger than the hot dog but not to much bigger. Than the person squats down to try to dip the hot dog into the opening of the bottle.

Yum, Lifesavers
This game is close to "suck for a buck" but a little more risky. The bride to be wears a plain white T-shirt with Lifesavers candies attached all over it. This is easy to do by just getting the back of the candy wet and sticking it to the shirt. Guys pay a buck to suck the candy off of the shirt! This is hilarious and is sure to make the bride the center of attention wherever you go! more games

Teddy Love
You must save your gift for last in this game. after all of the other gifts have been opened, you describe how your gift is so wild and exotic that the bride should not have to be the first one to wear it, she night need some help on how to put it on, etc. really embellish and play this up. explain that one of the guests must model this lingerie for all of the guests. the lucky person will be chosen by a round of musical chairs. once the person is picked, give them the box and send them to change. enclosed in the box they will find a giant teddy bear and this set of instructions:

1. pretend you are looking at the most unbelievable piece of lingerie.
2. yell and act as if you are embarrassed, shocked...(oh my word, what will my father say...etc.)
3. take a minute or two. act as if you are taking off your clothes.
4. ask for help from (the name of person running this game).

At this point, you rush to the rescue. act as if you are helping her. If you don't play this up it will never work. have the guest roll up her pant legs and sleeves. hold a towel up to cover her body but lake sure her bare arms, legs, and feet are showing. have her hold the teddy bear behind the towel. with the towel still covering her body, lead her into the other room. on the count of three drop the towel and reveal the unbelievable teddy.

Hummm... Donuts
Hang large powdered donuts with a string on a clothesline. Have participants stand in front of the donut with their hands behind their back (may have to adjust the length of string according to height). The object of the game is to lick off as much powder off of the donut, without biting or breaking the donut, in 60 seconds. more games

Lemon Balls
You place a lemon in each leg of one stocking. You wrap the stocking around the participants waist so that the lemons are dropped low enough in front. You place a 1/3 full gallon soda bottle in front on the floor. The object of the game is to swing your hips back and forth to make the lemons knock the bottle down. Whoever does it in the least amount of time wins the prize. It's really funny because of the sexual hint. The swinging of the hips back and forth and having the lemons drop on you. It's funny and fun.

Eat the Pickle
What you do is buy a large jar of whole pickles (preferably extra large pickles) tie kite string through the top of the pickle with about three feet to spare. Then take all of the pickles and hang them on a patio ceiling at the different heights of your guest. Have each guest stand under a pickle with their hands behind their backs. The object of the game is to eat the pickle within one minute (time can vary) who ever chews away most of the pickle wins the game, without any assistance from anyone or their hands. This game could become very messy, but in the end you'll be laughing about how so-and-so ate her pickle!! more games

Triple DD Anyone?
I have made a bridal stagette for a friend of mine. What I did was went to a Novelty adult store and bought some blow up boobs. We put the blow up boobs around the brides bra and made her a plain t shirt that says" Buy me a shooter and I will show you my hooters" You wouldn't believe how many guys go for this and so every time a shooter was bought she had to flash these blow up boobs you can't see nothing but the fake ones so it hurts no one, tons of laughs and tons to drink!

For the Daring
He dressed his sister up in long underwear with a trap-door in them, and drew a bikini on it with permanent markers. Then we were off to a local bar, where we had her autographed. It was interesting because there were so many messages of wishing her well, etc. Things turned out pretty well, and since it's in permanent ink, it'll be good for laughs for many years to come. more games

How Long Can You Hula?
You buy several hula hoops according to haw many guests you have. For example, I am having about 80 guests and 10 at each table: 8 hula hoops. One person per table comes up and the idea of the game is who can hula hoop the longest. And that person wins a prize. (Don't forget the music.)

His Legs?
We blindfolded the bride to be and lined up several guys. She had to feel their legs and decide which ones belonged to her beloved. The guys kept on switching places to try and confuse her, but she knew her man's legs! It was very funny.

Candy Bar Poems
The hostesses of the party put several items on a tray and cover it with a towel or blanket. Separate the guests into groups. Show the contents of the tray to one group at a time. Each group only gets 30 seconds to try and remember as many of the items on the tray as possible. Then they must write a poem about the bride and groom using the names of the items on the tray. The group that uses the most items wins. The poems go something like... When Jane met Bob, she was thrilled to learn he had 100 Grand. She was so happy she yelled YooHoo and went shopping on Park Avenue. Candy bars are often good choices, but get creative. The poems are funny. Have each member of the group sign the poem and put the finished poems in a memory book for the bride. more games

Gingerbread
Prior to the bridal shower, bake gingerbread men (enough for the all the guests plus a few extra in case some break). Also get together all sorts of items that can be used to decorate the gingerbread men, including non-edible stuff. Here you are only limited by your imagination, but some suggestions include:
hundreds and thousands
small choc bits
ribbon
different bits of material
string

On the day of the shower, prepare icing. This will be used to stick the above onto the gingerbread men.

The purpose is for each male guest to decorate the gingerbread as a bride, and each of the women to decorate the gingerbread as a groom, using any of the available material. Some of the guest will be quite creative, and you will end up with some funny looking "brides" & "grooms". The bride &groom can choose the best gingerbread couple!  more games

Divide into teams. Put wedding significant words (one per slip, ex. wedding, chapel, love, kiss, bride, groom, music, flowers, etc.) on pieces of paper and put them in a bowl. Team A draws a slip of paper and has to sing at least 4 words of a song with that word in it then team B has to match them and back and forth until someone is stumped then the other team gets point. The Team with the most points wins.
