All About Bridal Showers: Favors, Games, and More

The bridal shower is usually given by the bridesmaids and hosted by the maid of honor. Together with the bride, they come up with bridal shower favor ideas and games to play during the bridal shower. There are a number of favors, and it is traditional, like the wedding, to show your appreciation of your attendees and their generosity with bridal shower favors.

There are a number of ideas for bridal shower favors, and many options. Bridal showers may or may not be themed, so that should be taken into consideration before buying the bridal shower favors. If you're the maid of honor, or in charge of the shower, make sure you know the bride well, and that the shower is themed towards her likes. Remember, it's her day.

Bridal shower favor ides include bottle openers and stoppers, candles, bath or soap sets, customized personal luggage tags, wine, edibles, like chocolate and mints, bookmarks, pink and black lace potpourri sets, handbag holders, bookmarks, compacts, and much more. Like wedding showers, bridal shower favors can be customized if the bride so wishes.

After the bridal shower favors have been handed out, it is time for games. These can consist of anything from guessing games, where the guests answer questions to show how well they know the bride to bingo.

Bride trivia games are often excellent game choices for bridal showers and consist of trivia about the bride. An example of a trivia came would be if each guest has a writing tool and some paper, and the maid of honor calls out the questions. At the end, you total up the number of points and have a winner, or in some versions, first and second place.

Bridal bingo is always fun and you can either create a board yourself or go to a specialty wedding site, like americanbridal.com, and find everything you need to have a fun game of bingo. Small prizes are given to the winners, and everyone has a great time.

Scrap booking is another enjoyable way to while the time during a bridal shower, and is a fun, creative way to build a book of memories for a bride to be. Notes of advice to the bride can be included, as can pictures and small mementos. Everyone can be given a page or theme, and create their own memories of the bride in that section.
