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.
