Some of the most fun things you can do at a bridal shower are play games! And printable games make it even easier to play and organize a great, memorable event. In my opinion, if it weren’t for the games, being a guest at a bridal shower can get to be boring.
While there isn’t a magic one fits all number of games that should be played at a bridal shower, typically 3 or 4 are the perfect amount to fill up the time. If planned out, you can even time the games to coincide with the important events during the shower, like the bride to be opening her gifts.
Here are some printable bridal shower games that you can distribute for your personal use. Some of these templates are sold in our Etsy shop, while others are completely free templates for you to use. There is a long list of printables and I tried to organize the games as to when they would be best played – the beginning of the shower, during the shower, and while the bride-to-be is opening her gifts.
Printable Bridal Shower Games Perfect For The Beginning Of The Shower
Word Scramble
Print out a Word Scramble for each guest. Set a timer for 7 minutes and have each guest go through to unscramble what they think each wedding-related word is. Once time is up, go through and read the answers, having players mark off what they get right. Ask if anyone got them all correct. If no one did, find out who got the most correct and that is your winner. Note that it is possible to have more than one winner so be prepared with multiple prizes or you can draw one sole winner from all of those that tie.
Find Someone Who
Print out a Find Someone Who sheet for each guest. This is a great icebreaker activity to do before the party even starts. Have everyone go around mingling with others trying to find someone that fits one of the descriptions on the list. The more people they can mingle with, the more names they can write down! Once the party officially starts, ask if anyone was able to write a guest for every clue. If not, find out who has the most and that is your winner. Note that it is possible to have more than one winner so be prepared with multiple prizes or you can draw one sole winner from all of those that tie.
Guess The Dress
Print out a Guess The Dress sheet for each guest. Have everyone try to draw the dress they think the bride will be wearing on her big day. Is it strapless, one strap or two? Lace, beads, or tulle? A-line, straight…so many options! Then collect all of the drawings and have the bride-to-be look through them, picking out which one she thinks most closely resembles her actual dress. This will be the winner! Then the bride-to-be can keep all of the drawings as a special memento from the shower!
Name That Cake
Print out a Name That Cake sheet with blank lines for each guest. Also, print out one copy of the answer key. Set a timer for 10 minutes. Then have each player fill in the blanks with the cake matching the clues in each question. After the time is up, read through all of the correct answers, having guests mark which ones they got correct. Then ask if anyone got all 16 right. If no one did, ask who got 15, 14, etc. until you have the person (or people) that guessed the most correct. That’s your winner! Note that it is possible for a tie so be prepared to have multiple prizes or to draw a sole winner from those that tie for the win.
How Old Were They?/Where Were They?
Gather up to 12 photos of the bride and groom at various ages. The moms will love to get involved with the setup for this game! Display and number each photo on a large poster board. Print out enough How Old Were They guessing sheets for each player (there are 2 per page). Cut the pages in half and give each guest a sheet to write their guesses on. Have one sheet set aside with the actual answers on it. Once everyone has had a chance to write down their guesses, go over the answers. Whoever has the most correct wins! Note there is a possibility of a tie, so be sure to have extra prizes or draw one winner from everyone that ties for the win. Alternative – Where Were They? Game using photos from trips the couple have taken together.
How Many Kisses?
Fill a clear jar with as many chocolate kisses as you want. Be sure to count them up first so you know the answer to “how many kisses”. Print out as many guessing slips as you would like (there are 6 per page) and cut them out. Place the mini blank guessing papers next to the jar for players to write their names and guesses on. Then prepare a prize for the player that has the closest guess without going over the actual amount.
Ring Scavenger Hunt/Bling It On
Hide multiple toy rings around the party venue (affiliate suggestion for rings on Amazon here). Place the ring hunt card included in this PDF file at the entrance of the party for all guests to see. You can put your printout inside a cheap dollar store frame so that you can easily display it. Then prepare a prize for the guest who has the most rings by the time the first present is open.
Alternative – Bling It On Game – Give each guest one ring to start. Print the Bling It On PDF card instructing guests to not say bride or wedding. Other guests can steal their ring if caught saying either word. The person to collect the most rings wins a prize.
A to Z Challenge
Print out an A to Z Challenge sheet for every guest. Set a timer for 10 minutes and have everyone try to come up with wedding-related words that start with each letter of the alphabet. Once time is up, go through and ask if anyone filled in all 26. If not, ask who filled in 25, 24, etc. until you have the person with the most filled in. That is your winner! Note that it is possible to have more than one winner so be prepared with multiple prizes or you can draw one winner from all of those that tie.
Printable Bridal Shower Games Perfect During The Shower
Left or Right
Prepare a wrapped prize for each table (or give away the centerpieces if you wish). This game is best played with all guests seated in a circle, so going around a table is perfect. Give the prizes out, one to each table. It doesn’t matter who starts as the prizes will be moved around quite a bit. Then read the Left or Right wedding story included in this PDF file. Emphasize the words LEFT and RIGHT as those are the directions that the gift must be passed when they are read out loud – to the person’s left or right side. The last person to be holding the gift after the story ends is the winner!
Finish His or Her Phrase
Print out a Finish His or Her Phrase sheet for each guest and also one extra for the bride or groom. Give the bride or groom one of the sheets and have them fill it out, creating the answer key for the game. Set a timer for 10 minutes. Then, have each player go through the list and name a word or phrase that completes each word. They are trying to match the answer the bride/groom gave on their sheet. Once time is up, go through the answers given by the bride/groom and have everyone mark which words they get right. In order to score a point, they must have an exact match. The person with the most points wins!

After time is up, read through the answers that the bride and groom gave on the answer key. Have each player mark what they got right. After you have gone through the 20 answers ask if anyone got all of them right. If not, ask who got 19, 18, etc. until you have your winner. Note it is possible to have multiple winners so be prepared to have extra prizes or draw one winner from all of the people that tie for the win.
Alternative – Wedding Shoe Game – After the time is up, have the bride and groom sit back to back and read each question out loud. To give their answer the bride or groom will raise their shoe if they think they are the one to fit the description best.

Printable Bridal Shower Games Perfect While The Bride-To-Be Opens Gifts
Over Under Same
Print out an Over Under Same sheet for every guest and one extra for the answer sheet. Go through and mark what the answers are on one of the sheets (we can’t provide answers to these questions as they vary). Set a timer for 10 minutes. Then, have players go through reading each sentence and circle whether they think the actual answer is over, under, or the same as the one given.

Set a timer for 10 minutes and have everyone try to guess what they think the price of each item is as well as the total cost for everything. When time is up, go over the actual prices of the items. The closest to the actual retail price without going over will get the point. Then, the person who has the most points overall wins the game! If there is a tie, use the total cost as the tiebreaker.
Bridal Bingo
What will the bride receive at her shower?! Print out a blank bingo board for every guest. Have all players write down the name of gifts they think the bride will receive. Obviously, each guest knows what they brought, so they should definitely write their gift on the board! Then as the bride opens her gifts, have the guests mark off items from their boards. The first person to get 5 in a row wins!
Be sure to let players know that vertical, horizontal, diagonal, or 4 corners count as a Bingo. Note it is possible to have more than one winner, so be prepared by having multiple prizes to give out. You might even decide to keep playing until you have given away all of your remaining prizes.
Who Am I?
Print out a Who Am I sheet for each guest. Have everyone write down a personal memory they have with the bride-to-be. Then collect all of the responses. Read them one at a time to the bride-to-be and see if she can guess who the story is from. If she can’t guess it, set that sheet aside. Once you have read through all of the responses, draw one winner from the sheets that the bride couldn’t guess. This game is especially great with a smaller, more intimate shower.
