Give Trivia Games a Shot At Your Next Bridal Shower Party!
No matter the tone of the event you’re planning – reserved and dignified or wild and crazy – it is probable that not all the invitees will know each other well, if at all.One thing that all the guests at your event will have in common is that they know the bride and/or groom – so trivia games about the couple should be fun for all.Read on to get ideas on organizing the games, the types of questions that you can include, and items you can give as prizes.
Who Knows the Bride/Couple Best
Write a quiz – either multiple choice or short answer – to hand out to guests as they walk in the door.You can ask questions about the bride (Where did Anne grow up?What is Anne’s favorite dessert?Who was Anne’s first kiss?), or about the bride and groom (When did Anne and James meet?What did James bring as a gift on their first date? ).One option is for you to take everyone’s quizzes and “grade” them yourself, or (which is more fun), give each guest someone else’s quiz and then go around to see who answered the most correctly.
A Match Made in Heaven
You can also meet with the groom a few days before the party and have him answer questions that you think the bride might be able to answer, too.At some point during the party, put the bride in a prominent place and have her answer the same questions; you then tell everyone what the fiancée answered and compare.This is a fun opportunity for the bride to hear things she may not know, and to let her entertain her guests with stories that further explain her (and his!) answers to the questions.Who did James go backpacking in Europe with?What did James first notice about you?
Choosing the Right Questions
Your invitees and the tone of the event itself should be foremost in your mind.Bachelorette parties are usually more provocative than bridal showers.If the guests are not intimate friends of the bride, or at least in her age group, it may be best to omit explicit or intensely personal questions.As a rule of thumb, if the question is something you wouldn’t want your own mother-in-law hearing the answer to, avoid putting your friend in that position.Try to find questions that are neither boring nor too scandalous – that way, everyone will have a good time. If your looking for some exciting things for your shower try baby shower decoration ideas, baby shower hostess gifts or baby shower invitations.
Prizes Are Cool
Once again, keep in mind the tone of the party and your guests’ preferences when considering prizes. The following options can all be purchased for less than ten dollars each, and often much cheaper.A sedate bridal shower may have as prizes a silky scarf or perfumed bath salts, which are romantic without being vulgar.On the other hand, if the party is more on the provocative side, your prizes can match – perhaps thongs or massage oil.
With a bit of planning, you can be sure that both the bride and her friends and family will have an unforgettable experience – at a low cost to you.
