While we always pride ourselves on being modern maids of honor, there is something to be said for keeping certain things traditional- and that’s where our bridal shower word scramble comes in. This game is both easy-to-play and age-friendly (aka even the bride’s grandmother knows the rules to this one). Most importantly, it’s a super simple way to keep guests entertained during the gift-opening portion of the shower.

What do you need to play Bridal Shower Word Scramble?

1. Enough of our FREE Bridal Shower Word Scramble printable game cards for each guest to have a copy.
2. A pen/pencil for each player.
3. A prize for the winner.

How do you play?

1. When the bride is ready to begin opening her gifts, have guests gather into one area so you can start handing out game cards and pens/pencils.
2. Once each player has their game card, do your best 3-2-1-go countdown.
3. The guest who unscrambles all 28 words first wins!

Extra tips for playing

1. Pass out the game cards face down so no player gets an unfair advantage.
2. Make sure guests continue until they have unscrambled all 28 words in case the first to finish has made any mistakes.
3. You don’t have to present this game as a race or even a competition. To play it as a filler game, have the game cards sitting out in a central area and allow guests to play at their own pace.
