Twists on Classic Games for Wedding Showers

When it comes to throwing a wedding shower, do not forget to include classic Games for Wedding Showers. Over the years, guests have come to expect to play these fun games, but many variations have been created of these classics to provide updates over the years. If you are in the planning stages of hosting a wedding shower for a beloved friend who is about to take the long walk down the aisle, think about including a super Wedding Shower Game to entertain everyone. One of the popular Games for Wedding Showers is the classic clothespin game. There are many variations, but the most popular involves passing out clothespins or any other item guests can affix to their clothing and instructing guests to not cross their legs. If anyone catches a guest with her legs crossed, he or she can take the clothespin. The trick of the game is not avoiding crossing your legs, but rather trying to do so without having anyone notice. Another variation of this wedding shower game includes instructing guests to avoid a certain word. Usually, guests are instructed not to utter words like "wedding," "bride," "groom," or any other matrimonial word. If a guest is caught saying the forbidden word, their clothes pin is taken away and awarded to the individual who caught the slip up. At the end of the party or at the end of a given amount of time, do a count of everyone's clothes pins and award a prize to the guest with the most. The memory game is another one of the classic Games for Wedding Showers that tests the memory abilities of all the guests. Compile a collection of wedding related items or pictures of wedding related items in a bag or box. Display the items for a short amount of time, usually a minute, but can be more or less depending on the items in the collection. Put the items away and give the guests a couple of minutes to write down all items they remember. After the time is up, display the objects again and declare the guest who could remember the most items the winner. A great twist on this wedding shower game is to have an individual bring out the items on a tray. Instruct guests to remember everything they see, and then quiz the guests on the details of the person instead of the items. This twist will surprise many guests, who will have been studying the items instead of the person. Declare the guest who could best remember the person, their features, and their clothing the winner.
