The details of planning a bridal shower can be overwhelming! Take a step back for a minute and consider that the most important thing is for this day to be memorable. What better way to etch this milestone moment in the memories of the bride-to-be and their special guests than to play a light-hearted game or two. Sure, sipping champagne or cute mocktails while eating brunch is always pleasurable, but planning a game, or two, or even more can make the whole event even more unique to the bride-to-be.
Check out this list of 7 simple and easy bridal shower ring games you can customize to make that special day even more joyous!
1. Our First Bridal Shower Ring Game: “Put A Ring On It”
This game can be played in lots of different ways. If you are short on time, then play the short version of “Put A Ring on It!”. All you need are gummy rings (you can use plastic rings or other candy rings, too) and chopsticks. Whoever collects the most rings using chopsticks wins. You can organize people into teams of two or make this a relay game where each team member has to pick up a ring and whoever collects the most rings wins.
The second way to play “Put A Ring On It!” is as an ongoing event. Print the directions on a board available to all guests upon arrival. Each guest gets a ring. Select keywords that are not supposed to be used during the event like “bride,” “wedding dress,” or the bride’s name. Any person who catches another using the forbidden words gets to take the ring from the offender. Whoever has the most rings at the end, wins!
And in this step, it is essential to not miss something: the size of the ring. The best way to do it is to find another ring that she wears on the fourth finger of her left hand. We know some women don’t wear rings on that finger, so another option could be with a tread while she is sleeping… Your imagination here should really work along with you to accomplish this mission!
2. Ring Hunt Game
A ring hunt can be a simple shower ring game, or a complex one; depending how you want it to be. All you need to do is hide plastic rings around the venue and ask guests to find them. Replace plastic rings for candy ones to make the game more festive and organize guests in small teams. We have a fun tip for you: add a timer to make people hustle!
3. Bridal Shower Bingo
Who doesn’t like a competitive game of Bingo!? Bingo is fun in both large and small groups and requires little setup. It is also a great success in our list of fun bridal shower ring game ideas. Trade the numbers on Bingo cards for details specific to the bride and groom-to-be including, but not limited to, names of their pets, the wedding venue, and the location of their first date. Get creative when customizing the Bingo cards and markers!
4: Wedding Vow Mad Libs
Mad Libs are great for a small group of guests. Provide guests with fill-in-the blank vows and ask them to complete them. Guests will read them aloud and whoever entertains the most, wins!
5. Bride Trivia
Trivia is a great bridal shower game when you have a large group and/or limited space because g it requires little to zero set up and people stay seated or standing where they are.
Simply compile a creative list of questions about the bride-to-be’s favorite food, the last place she traveled to, her pet peeves, favorite ice cream, etc. You know: with trivia, the possibilities are limitless!
6. Ring Scavenger Hunt
The ring scavenger hunt provides guests with questions they must answer and/or a list of items they must find among themselves in a specific amount of time. For example, ask guests to recall the location of the bride and groom-to-be’s first vacation together. Or, give points to the team who have on them, the bride-to-be’s favorite gum or chopstick.
7. How Well Does the Bride Know Her Spouse-to-Be?
This is a fun one! Ask the bride-to-be questions about her spouse and compare her answers to the groom-to-be’s responses. If you have the time, record the groom-to-be’s responses in advance and play the videos for everyone to enjoy!
