Bridal shower games and prizes question...

I went to one that had a fun game, everyone puts in their celebrity crush with their name and the MOH read the crushs out loud and the bride had three chances to guess who had that crush. everyone who didnt get their crush guessed got a prize i think. and candles/lotions/gift cards are always good, its things most likley everyone will like.

That sounds like a fun game! I didn't think of the candles and gift cards, those are great ideas, thanks!!

We did the word scramble, clothes pin game, do you have it ( in your purse) and how well do you know the bride and groom.... The prizes were candles with lotions and flower seeds in this cute lil pail that my cousin found.

Depending on your guests, at my baby shower( LOL) we did a lot of wine related items.. bottle of wine, coasters, those little charms that go on the glass. Gift cards would be good, to local coffee shops or a movie. Maybe jewelery?

Oh and my moh is doing gift bingo. thats another fun one that people can do while presents are being opened so its not boring for everyone other than the bride.

We bought cheap toilette paper and divided into groups, and whoever could make the best toilette paper wedding dress won. Everyone loved it and the "models" looked wonderful, they got pretty creative!

My bridesmaids threw together a toilet paper dress competition. Each table picked a model and had a pack of toilet paper to make a dress. They had 10 mins and after that, they came into the room one by one as a fashion show and I picked the winner. Everyone had a lot of fun and its a great ice breaker for people who don't know eachother

@Laura, great minds think alike lol

For mine my FMIL made little form with my first and last name and FH's first and last name, and people got like 10 minutes to come up with as many words as possible using the letters in our names. People got a point for each letter in the word, so a 5 letter word is worth more then a 3 letter word.

We didn't really do prizes, but there where literally only a handful of us at the wedding, including me.

At my friends they did bath and body works foaming soap.

My moh had each of the bm and my mom and step mom make a basket and each guest gets a few tickets upon arrival and then they get tickets for winning games, and we are going to do a chinese auction of sorts. the games are bridal bingo, guess the spice( grind up a few spices and have the guests try to guess what it is person who guesses the most correctly wins), a memory game(she is going to attach kitchen items like spoons spatulas, measuring cups etc onto an apron and have me wlak around with it, have the guest remember as many items person who remembers the most wins), candy in shot glasses( guess how many get the glass and tickets for the baskets) and then were going to make teams and have the guests create a dress out of TP and I get to judge and the most creative wins!

Oh and the baskets were a margarita basket, wine basket, movie night, scentsy basket, cleaning basket, ice cream social basket, spa basket, and italian night basket. each guest will get a favor so no one is walking away empty handed

Rebecca- Haha beat ya to it! I forgot to mention all the details such as being timed and having the bride judge them those are important details.

My MOH is doing the gifts and decor on her own so between a parttime job, school and three kids she didn't have a lot to spend. She went to The Dollar Tree and made baskets up.

Bath basket-

scrub mit

loofa

hair towel

bath confeti (from Michaels on clearance for 30 cents!)

bottle of body scrub (I've used it and it's awesome for a buck)

candle

Garden "basket"-

large flower pot

garden gloves

garden tools

garden tile (with a cute saying on it)

flower seeds

Scent basket-

candle

glass candle holder

oil defuser and oil

potpourri (everything is a vanilla scent)

and then three stationary sets for the group who wins the toilet paper dress game. These were from Michaels

Games we're doing are

Gift bingo

toilet paper dress

what's in your purse

how well do you know the bride and groom

Oh and the "door prize" is a $30 wal mart gift card. We're having everyone fill out their name and address on my thank you envelopes and I'll pick one out of a basket/hat. Whoever I pick gets the door prize.

Cyndi- That is a great way to avoid having to write out all the addresses yourself, good thinking! lol

Wow, thanks for all the great ideas everyone!

Cyndi - I like the thank you envelope idea and using that for the door prize!

Lol@ Laura that's what I thought. After all the wedding invites and Thank you's I'll be writing a little bit of a break will be nice.

@Cyndi you're a genius! I love the idea of having everyone write their address on thank you envelopes
