Bridal Shower games?

[shootingstar]

Well, this might be educational. Like you kg, I haven't been to a bridal shower..well even longer..probably 1/4 of a century.

Since I live thousands of kms. away, I even missed out on my sister's bridal shower. She got married 2 yrs. ago..she's 39 now. An intelligent woman with her own home even prior to marriage...so she wouldn't have tolerated mindless bridal games.

Maybe a short interesting DVD movie to watch together instead..that's kinda of chick oriented.

What does your bride-daughter like to do with her friends?

You wouldn't believe how tolerant a bride has to be of things she couldn't care less about!!!!!

This being said, a "fun" game at my shower was that nobody could say a wedding-related word (dress, groom, bride, wedding, cake, whatever could be remotely related to the wedding) so it forced people to talk about other things. Everyone had a clothespin on their clothes, and if they were caught talking about something weddingy the pin was taken from them (and then they could talk wedding all they wanted to try to get others to lose their pin). Person ending with the most pins wins.

I'm glad you had a good time, I hope the wedding is wonderful with a new dress even prettier than the first one!

I played this at a baby shower and nearly got killed by the woman who was the clear leader. She mentioned the forbidden word and about ripped my face off when I busted her. It wasn't worth the scented candle or whatever "prize" they were offering. I was like "Oh, sorry. My mistake". She had really scary eyes!!!!

She just called me form the mall. She found a dress she loves, for about $100. It's on hold until tomorrow. (She meets with the dressmaker tonight to see if she can salvage the first dress.)

Wow! That's cool. Who said one had to paid thousands for a wedding dress?

Sounds like a good game when people at the shower can include those who are married, coupled or single. Particularily for the single, unattached folks..they can talk happily about other non-wedding/non-marriage topics also.

May the wedding go well..and may the marriage be forever.

Best wishes to your daughter!
