Bridal Shower Games Ideas

By antiquesgalorega

Bridal shower games help to make shower guests more comfortable with other guests, so it’s always a good idea to include them on your activities list.  Below are a few shower games to get your guests laughing and talking.

1.  Who Am I? or What am I?  You can adapt this activity to your shower theme.  The general idea is to stick a name of a person or an object on your guests’ backs and the guests have to guess their identity.  For instance, if your party is a kitchen shower, you might label guests with the words “crock pot,” “spatula,” or “frying pan.”  Guests will have to try to guess which object they are by asking other guests questions about their identity.
2. Don’t Cross Your Legs:  This is a good shower game for a group of women to play.  When guests arrive, give each of them ten safety pins.  The object of the game is to not cross your legs.  Anytime someone crosses her legs, the person who notices first gets to take the other person’s safety pin.  The person with the most safety pins at the end of the party wins a prize.
3. Toilet Paper Bridal Gown:  Break guests up into teams and give them several rolls of toilet paper.  Give the teams about ten minutes to create the bride-to-be’s wedding gown and veil.

After playing these bridal shower games, your guests won’t be able to stop talking to one another.  They may even make some new friends.

Salad Recipes for a Salad Bridal Shower

by RoOoNa

When my sister threw a bridal shower for me years ago, the menu theme was salads.  This was perfect for a mid-afternoon shower.  Many of my family members prepared various salads for my shower.  We ate potato salad, chicken salad, garden salad, pasta salads, tuna salad, fruit salad, and various garden salads.  Here are a few salad recipes for a Salad Bridal Shower.

Tuna Salad:  Drain and dump two large cans of tuna fish into a bowl.  Add about a half cup of sweet relish, a cup of Miracle whip, and one to two hard boiled eggs chopped up.  Season to taste with Lowry’s Seasoning Salt.    Mix all ingredients together and top the tuna salad with paprika.

Basic Salad:  In a bowl, add lettuce, grape or cherry tomatoes, shredded cheese, cucumbers, sliced turkey, chopped bell peppers, raisins and sliced apples.  Toss ingredients when ready to serve.

Pasta Salad:  Prepare a 12 oz. package of pasta according to directions.  Drain, rinse in cool water, and place pasta in a bowl.  Steam a bag of mixed vegetables.  Drain the vegetables and toss them in the bowl with the pasta.  Add banana pepper rings and a large bottle of Italian Dressing and mix the ingredients together.  Chill the salad until ready to serve.

These recipes are just a few of the delicious salads that can be prepared for a Salad Bridal Shower.
