Five-Star Games
We all know bridal shower games are meant to start communication between all guests and to have fun. When we think of throwing a bridal shower for our loved ones, we think about the games first. While planning bridal shower games we should think of games wherein everybody would be able to participate and enjoy thoroughly. In this rush to plan bridal shower games, there are high chances to forget easily about the participation of the bride and groom in the game.
We should realize that bride is the foremost guest or person at the bridal shower. Now you can start thinking about the games, which will focus on the bride and the groom. If you are still confused, then let me explain that there are some games that are meant to bring the bride and groom in limelight. These games are five star bridal shower games.
You might be thinking that how you will manage five games for the bridal shower. So, let me tell you that though these games are called as five star games, there are only three games in this category. These five star games for bridal shower are easy at preparatory level and to manage. If you really want to make your bridal shower helpful to the bride and groom, you must go for these games. The five star bridal shower games include:
- My, How You have Grown!
- The M&M Game
- Recipe for Romance
We are going to talk about each of these in detail, so this information will help you to arrange and manage these games at your bridal shower throw.
My, How you have Grown!
This game does not require much preparation. You will require on 5 to 10 photos of the bride from her childhood to her photographs with the groom. If you are arranging the bridal shower for both the bride and groom, then take photographs of groom’s childhood to his photographs with the bride, same in number.
At the time of play, pass these photographs to each of your guest. Remember, only one photograph should be passed among the guests at a time. Now, each guest has to guess looking at that picture about the age of the bride in that photograph. Thus all guests have to guess the age of the bride and groom in each photograph. The person, who has more correct guesses (or in difficult situation, you can consider closer guesses) should be declared as the winner.
The M&M Game
Preparation: plenty of M&Ms so that each guest could take a handful. Tell all your guests that they are not allowed to eat these M&M until you tell them to do so. Do not disclose the nature of game in advance.
Keep all M&Ms in one bag or bowl and tell all guests to take some of it. Now, tell the person (who is seated to the left side of the bride) to start telling true things about the bride and groom (whatever the person knows about them). This would be a great time for the bride and groom to know how much their close ones know about them and how they preserve the memories in their minds. Be sure, the bride and groom will feel overwhelmed with this shower of love and care given to them by you and your guests. Here, in this game you need not to find out the winner as this game is not meant to do so. This game is only meant to put spotlight on the bride and groom.
Recipe for Romance
Again this game gives precedence to the bride and groom. This game is helpful to the bride and groom in their future life for being together. This game requires some pens and papers, so each guest will get one paper and pen. You will require one bowl or hat.
Give one paper handout and pen to each guest and tell them to write a recipe to keep romance alive in a marriage. Tell then there is no need to write their names or signs on the paper. You can guide the person, who is confused about this concept or does not know anything about this concept of the recipe for keeping romance alive in marriages. You can tell them in simple way that you should write whatever you would do to keep your marriage romantic forever. This will make the idea very clear to all your guests. Also, they would be clear about what you expect from them.
After everyone finished with writing, tell all your guests to drop their recipes in the bowl or hat. Now, tell the maid of honor to read all recipes loudly. You can take pride in reading it loudly. Now, the guests have to guess that who wrote which recipe. The person with maximum correct guesses would be the winner. The bride and groom could also participate in this game and convey their thoughts about romance, marriage and long-term commitments. The bride and groom also could participate in guessing part of this game and they could be the winner as they know all guests very closely.
You can honor the winner with some prize. Be sure, this game will be the foremost guiding line for the bride and groom to make their marriage more lively and successful.
