KWR: Mom is planning bridal shower, wants my help. Etiquette 911

Kayla P. (Kayla S.), on August 14, 2012 at 12:05 PM Posted in Planning 0 20

Hey everyone! So my bridal shower is this weekend and my mom was kind enough to host, however she needs my help figuring out entertainment. After some research we decided on a few games to do, one of which is Etiquette 911. For those who don't know this game it goes as follows:

How to Play: Write an etiquette question on each index card — the more outrageous the scenario, the better. Think of scenes like: What do you do if the best man sprays champagne all over the guests? If you accidentally knock into the wedding cake? If two bridesmaids get into a fight at the altar? If you see the groom’s aunt stealing items from the bathroom amenity basket?

Hand out one etiquette card to each guest and have her write down an honest response to the situation. Then, have the bridal party gather all the cards and read the questions and answers aloud. (Put Aunty in handcuffs, perhaps?)

Can you ladies help me come up with some scenarios?

    What do you do if...

    Uncle Johnny takes the mic and starts serenading the couple like Steve Buscemi from the wedding singer?

    Underage cousin Timmy swipes the half-drunk beer bottles from the table and chugs them on the sly?

    The bride toots at the altar?

    The MOH's toast goes a liiiiiiiitle too long and gets a liiiiiiiitle inappropriate?

    You bust a wedding crasher?

    Things don't go as planned?

    Grandma has too much chardonnay and starts dirty dancing with a GM?

    MOB has too much chardonnay and does the splits on the dance floor (I saw that happen once actually!)?

    Your best man is running late and the ceremony was supposed to start 15 minutes ago!?

    What to do if the Ex (either his our yours) shows up at the wedding/reception?

    My super MIL has already stated she has invited His ex-wife stating she is still her only daughter in law. Funny, I think I lost the MIL invite somewhere in the mail. Darn! lol

    I just wanted to share with everyone how i a setting these up. The card is a DIY invitation my mom had gotten two years ago and never used, the ones you print on. I then made lines, wrote out the question, and left only the lines they write on. We are going to hand them out at random with a pen/pencil for them to fill out :-)

    What do you do if…

    the music starts skipping during the bride and groom's 1st dance.

    (some one) drinks too much and takes her bra off with out removing her dress and starts swinging it above her head.
