Wedding Shower Ideas

Give guests list of trivia facts and invite them to determine whether they are true of the Bride, the Groom, or neither.

Remember the Newlywed Game? Play an “Almost Wed Game” with bride or groom having previously provided answers to questions such as when/where was their first kiss, biggest pet peeve, favorite vegetable, shoe size, most irrational fear, best or worst date, etc.

Create and do a personalized Mad Libs with the structure being a true story about the bride & groom.

(Mad Libs – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mad_Libs)
Mad Libs (from ad lib, a spontaneous improvisation) is a phrasal templateword game where one player prompts another for a list of words to substitute for blanks in a story. The game is frequently played as a party game or as a pastime.

Have bride and/or groom prepare ahead of time to play “Two Truths & a Lie” regarding bride & groom’s history, wedding plans, etc.

Pass out questions about advice for a successful marriage on index cards. Ask guests to answer them on separate cards~ Deliberately mix up the card pairings to make the questions & answers humorous. Read the funniest ones aloud, then rematch the answer cards with the proper questions and give them to the engaged couple to save.

Host an online shower. Why would you want to have a shower over the Internet instead of in-person? Perhaps an engaged couple lives far away from their family and friends. Your virtual shower can include a guest book, photos, blogs and/or real time chats, games, and links to gift registries. The event can last for a day, several days, or even a few weeks.

Even “real” parties often use online RSVP sites such as Evite for invitations and responses. It’s fun to be able to see who is coming to an event and to be able to leave a greeting if you can’t make it.
