Trivia Games May Envigorate Your Bridal Shower!
Whether your party has a risque tone to it, or is more on the dignified side, you need to keep in mind that not all your guests will know each other.It is likely that the soon-to-be-married couple will be the only common denominator for all your guests - so, to get everyone relaxed and having fun, play trivia games that ask questions about the bride and/or groom. This article will give you a few ideas on how to structure the games, what kind of questions to ask, and even prizes you can give to the winners.
Bridal/Couple Trivia
One idea is to create a multiple-choice or short-answer quiz which you can hand out as people arrive for them to fill out at their leisure.You can ask bride-related questions (Did Anne have braces? What is Annes favorite movie?How old was Anne when she went on her first date?), or about the couple (Where did James take Anne on their first date?Who asked who to go on the first date? ). You may collect them at some point after everyone is present and then announce the winner, or (for a more entertaining experience), have everyone grade someone elses quiz and then figure out the winner.
On the Spot
Another idea involves asking the groom questions, beforehand - questions that the bride should be able to answer, as well.Then, during the party, have the bride sit front-and-center, and ask her each of the questions you asked her finacee, revealing what his answers were.Sometimes the bride and groom will be in total disagreement, so this gives the bride a chance to tell anecdotes, as well as perhaps hear some surprisingly romantic comments from her fiancee.Who was James’s college roommate?What did James first notice about you?
Choosing the Right Questions
Make sure you don’t lose sight of your guests and the type of gathering you’re planning.Bridal showers are usually different in tone and setting than bachelorette parties.The more “intense” questions should be shared only with the bride’s closer (in age or intimacy) friends. If its something you wouldnt want your boyfriend or husbands grandmother to know, dont subject your friend to that embarrassment.Your goal should be to make sure all your guests are having fun - neither thinking “this is way more than I needed to know” nor “this is so G-rated I feel like I’m in a Disney movie”. Some other cool things for you shower might include free baby shower ideas, baby shower sayings for cake or baby shower games.
Cool Prizes
When you select prizes, make sure to think about the type of event you are having, and the tastes of your guests.All of the following options are quite inexpensive.For a more reserved event, you can consider prizes which still say “love” or “romance,” without being “improper,” such as a scented lotion or Hershey’s kisses.In the case that your event is more spirited in nature, you can give more risque items as awards, such as a feather boa or small sex toy.
Playing trivia games is a guaranteed way to ensure that both the bride and her guests will have as much fun as possible - without you having to break the bank.
