Shower games.

Some girlfriends and I hosted a wedding shower recently for our friend Megan. At the party we played a newish game that worked really well for our group, He Says... She Says. I highly recommend it. 

It was super easy to put together. Before the shower I sent a list of questions to the bride and groom and collected their answers, picking my favorite to include in the game. It was pretty cute how many of their answers were similar. 

At the shower each guest got a playing card with a list of questions and one answer, and they had to guess if the answer was from Megan, Chris or both by circling the lips or mustache. 

When we read off the answers, guests would hold up the lips or mustache to show what their answer was. This made for some great photo ops (of course, my camera died and I captured none of this). 

I love parties with games (especially competitive ones) so I thought I would share some of my favorite wedding shower games:

Wedding shower games

1. He says... She says: Details listed above.
2. How well do you know the bride?: Create a list of questions about the bride, the person who answers the most correctly wins. 
3. Newlywed game: Send a list of questions to the groom and collect his answers. At the shower ask the same questions to the bride. With every correct answer she gets to open a gift. 
4. Weddings to weddings (a spin on Apples to Apples): Write down a bunch of nouns on notecards. Have the bride read the noun and the guests write adjectives to describe that noun on a notecard and place all notecards in a bowl. The bride then reads all answers and selects her favorite adjective. 

I've got templates/sample questions for all four games listed above. Feel free to contact me and I will email them to you! Happy shower planning!
