Coming up with great bridal shower games can be a real challenge but it doesn't have to be. With a little creativity and these great free printables not only can you throw the best bridal shower ever but you can do it within a reasonable budget too!  Planning ahead and getting creative is all you need to do to pull off a fun and memorable shower!

A wedding shower should be a fun event that the bride along with all the guests should enjoy. At most wedding showers the diversity in ages of those in attendance can really make it hard for the person planning the shower to come up with games and activities that all of the guests will enjoy and be able to participate in. The games your guests play together at a shower can be a lasting memory for them as well as the bride so choose wisely based on those who will be attending - you don't want great aunt Edna to break a hip while participating in a more active type of game!

BRIDAL SHOWER CHARADES

These wedding themed charades are sure to get your party guests laughing! This classic game is guaranteed to create some funny and memorable moments.

WINE TASTING

Treat your guests to a wine tasting experience as a unique bridal shower activity. These beautiful wine tasting score cards can be printed on card stock and distributed to guests so they can tally their experience sampling a variety of wines. Also, mixing inexpensive wines with a little pricier ones will help you keep the cost reasonable. You might find that your guests prefer the Winking Owl Pinot Grigio (thank you Aldi!) more than a higher priced bottle. Use small plastic cups instead of large wine glasses to help keep the cost reasonable too.

You don't have to be an expert sommelier to have fun with this activity - just encourage your guests to share their opinions of each wine with those at their table and let the conversation roll! Find the free printable wine tasting cards HERE

FLOWER CROWN BAR

A Flower crown bar is another great activity to do when your guests range in age and physical abilities. Vases or pails of fresh cut flowers and some bobby pins is all you need in order to do this one. Check your local farmer's market for in season flowers to use or pick wild flowers to use that won't cost you a thing. Encourage guests to accessorize their hairstyles with the fresh cut flowers securing them with the bobby pins. Make sure to capture these moments as guests pose together for pictures. You could even vote for the most creative crown with the winner receiving a prize. To download the printable for this activity click HERE.

Give your guests an opportunity to impart some words of wisdom to the bride and groom as they begin their marriage. These advice cards can be used at a bridal shower and at the wedding reception too! Collect the cards and put them in an album or use a small binder to keep them together for the bride and groom to read later.

RECIPE CARDS

Does your family have a special recipe that has been passed down from generation to generation? Keep the tradition going by giving the bride and groom a collection of treasured family recipes. Send guests a blank recipe card with their invitation (or use the recipe card as the invitation) and ask that they bring the completed recipe cards with them to the shower. 

During the shower collect the cards from guests and let the bride to be read a few out loud to guests so everyone gets a chance to hear some of the delicious recipes that were shared. After the shower collect the cards and put them in a recipe card box or recipe binder for the bride to take home with her.
