Trivia Games May Envigorate Your Bridal Shower!
No matter the tone of the event you’re planning – reserved and dignified or wild and crazy – it is probable that not all the invitees will know each other well, if at all. One of the best ways to break the ice and have fun is by playing trivia games based on the bride and/or groom, since the couple is probably the one thing all your guests will have in common and will be interested in.This article has ideas to help you prepare everything, from organizing the games, the kind of questions you can ask, and what you can give as prizes.
How Much Do You Know About the Bride/Couple
Write a quiz – either multiple choice or short answer – to hand out to guests as they walk in the door. These questions can either be all about the bride (Where was Anne born?What is Anne’s favorite dessert? How old was Anne when she got her first kiss?), or about the bride and groom (When did Anne and James meet?Did Anne and James kiss good-bye on their first date? ). You may collect them at some point after everyone is present and then announce the winner, or (for a more entertaining experience), have everyone “grade” someone else’s quiz and then figure out the winner.
A Match Made in Heaven
Another idea involves asking the groom questions, beforehand – questions that the bride should be able to answer, as well. During the party, have the bride sit in a chair in the middle of the room and ask her the same questions, announcing to everyone the answers that her fiancée provided.Often the bride will get to hear some surprising compliments, and the guests may get to hear anecdotes, especially if the questions are a bit scandalous or if she disagrees with her fiancée.Who did James go backpacking in Europe with?What did James first notice about you?
How to Choose Your Questions
Don’t forget about the party’s tone and your guests.Bridal showers are usually different in tone and setting than bachelorette parties.If the guests are not intimate friends of the bride, or at least in her age group, it may be best to omit explicit or intensely personal questions.If the answer to any given question would make you blush around your boyfriend or husband’s grandmother, then don’t make your friend suffer that embarrassment.Your goal should be to make sure all your guests are having fun – neither thinking “this is way more than I needed to know” nor “this is so G-rated I feel like I’m in a Disney movie”. There are many things you could try for your shower and they might include free baby shower ideas, baby shower sayings for cake or baby shower favors.
Prizes Are Cool
Once again, keep in mind the tone of the party and your guests’ preferences when considering prizes.None of the following ideas cost more than ten dollars – most are much less. For more dignified gatherings, a framed photo of the bride and groom, or a delicate scented candle might be appropriate – still romantic, but not explicit.On the other hand, if the party is more on the provocative side, your prizes can match – perhaps thongs or massage oil.
Trivia games let you save money and still show the bride and her guests a great time.
