Bridal shower games for second marriages
It's interesting:"My first impression of Linda was that she was such a beautiful, witty, charming, clever, friendly and thoughtful person. And when she agreed to marry Paul, it totally proved to me that old adage – opposites really do attract."
Bridal showers tend to be a more grown-up, demure event for a second-time bride, but that doesn't mean they aren't just as fun. Ditch the dress-up costumes and sometimes silly games. If you throw a shower in advance of a second marriage, plan games that are sassy and sophisticated, just like your bride-to-be.
My Name Is...
Start off with the bride saying her first name, followed by something she loves that also starts with the first letter of her name. For example: "-My name is Carrie and I love chocolate."- The next guest stands up and says, "-My name is Lauren and I love lipstick, and her name is Carrie and she loves chocolate."- Each guest takes a turn with the list of names increasing each time. Once you get back to the bride, she adds another "-love"- beginning with the first letter of her name. Everyone will meet each other this way.
Pass the Package
Buy a selection of small treats. Wrap the best treat in the middle. Add another gift on the outside, and wrap that gift and the inner gift in paper. Repeat with several small gifts until you have 10 or so wrapped in between layers of paper. Sit in a circle and turn on some music, then pass the package from person-to-person until the music stops- enlist a volunteer to stop and start the music. Each time the music stops, the person holding the package removes a layer of paper and gets to keep the treat she finds. Include pretty pieces of candy, small items of make-up, gift cards, key rings or fun costume jewelry.
Complete the Sentence
Hand each guest a pen and a game card with up to 20 unfinished phrases on it. These should be well-known sayings that guests know. Each guest races to finish the phrases first. If no one has finished the game by the time five minutes pass, the guest with the most right answers wins. Try well-known sayings such as: "-A woman's work"- (is never done)- "-Variety is"- (the spice of life)- or "-True love"- (conquers all).
I Went to a Wedding
Start with the bride and have her state, “-I went to a wedding and I wore…-,”- and then name an item of clothing like a veil. The next person says, “-I went to a wedding and wore a veil and…-,”- and adds another items of clothing. Each person takes a turn listing all the items said so far and adding one of her own. The person who remembers the longest list wins.
Wedding Word Scramble
Give each guest a pen and a card with 10 to 15 mixed-up wedding-related words. Each guest must then unscramble as many words as possible in a set time. The first person to unscramble all the words correctly wins, or if no one manages the whole lot, the guest with the most right answers wins.
