Ready to get the party started? Check out these fun and interactive game ideas!
1. He Said She Said
Perfect for couples showers, this game is all about how well guests know the bride and groom. Before the shower, review the statements from our He Said She Said game cards with the bride and groom to determine who says each, creating an answer key. Their responses create the answer key. During the game, guests try to match each statement to the correct person.
A fun twist? Turn it into the classic “shoe game”, where the bride and groom sit back to back in the room and have to answer the questions by raising their shoe. It’s hilarious to see where the bride and groom agree and disagree on the answers!
2. Emoji Pictionary Cards
If your group loves emojis (and let’s be honest, who doesn’t?), then the bridal emoji pictionary game is a winner. The host hands out game cards filled with emoji sequences that represent wedding-related words or phrases. Guests have five minutes to decode them, and whoever gets the most right wins. Given the game’s nature, be ready with two or three prizes, as ties are common.
Since co-ed showers usually have a mix of personalities, this is an easy, low-pressure game that’s fun for everyone—from the emoji pros to those still figuring out what 🤯 means.
3. Find the Guest
Find the Guest is part icebreaker, part scavenger hunt, and all fun. Each guest gets a game card with descriptions like “Has been married for over 10 years” or “Met their partner on a dating app.” Guests mingle to find people who match the descriptions. By placing game cards and pens in a central area, guests can casually play throughout the course of the party.
For a more competitive twist, guests search for others matching specific descriptions after eating, with the fastest to complete their card winning. Alternatively, combining both methods allows for paced competition, rewarding players who find the most unique guest matches.
A helpful hint: ensure names are on the cards to avoid mix-ups by the end of the party!
4. Who Am I – Celebrity Edition
A guaranteed laugh-fest, Who Am I – Celebrity Edition is all about guessing your secret identity. Each guest gets a sticky note with a famous bride, groom, or couple’s name stuck to their forehead or back. They can only ask yes-or-no questions to figure out who they are.
Want to make it more competitive? Add a timer! The first guest to correctly guess their identity wins, but everyone will have fun listening to the increasingly desperate guesses. (“Wait…am I George Clooney?!”)
All you need is a list of celebrities and some paper, making this super easy to put together. Check out our full guide and FREE printable here.
5. Romantic Comedy Charades
Romantic comedy charades bring the fun of acting out with a love-filled twist. In this game, guests team up to mime famous scenes or titles from beloved romantic comedies, without speaking, while others guess what they’re portraying. The best part will be watching your most reserved guests fully commit to reenacting The Notebook rain scene in total silence.
It’s a hilarious way to test movie knowledge and acting skills, creating an atmosphere of laughter and camaraderie. Perfect for co-ed bridal showers, it ensures guests of all ages can engage in the joy and nostalgia of classic love stories.
6. Ring Hunt
This one’s like an Easter egg hunt, but for adults. Plastic rings are hidden throughout the party space, and guests must find as many as possible. To make it more challenging, assign different point values to different rings!
To help you out, ring hunt game cards can be downloaded from our website, allowing you to tailor them to match the shower’s theme and decorations.
7. Scavenger Hunt
A co-ed favorite, the wedding shower scavenger hunt is a great way to get guests moving and interacting as guests look for a list of items or complete tasks related to the couple or wedding theme. First team to complete the hunt or find the most items wins bragging rights—and maybe a prize.
This game can be tailored to any setting, from indoor venues to outdoor spaces, making it a versatile and exciting activity.
8. Guess the Love Song
Think your guests know their love songs? Put that knowledge to the test! Play short clips from romantic hits (mixing classics and current favorites), and guests have to guess the song title and/or artist.
Pro tip: To keep things fair, make sure the playlist has a little something for every generation. Because not everyone knows their Ed Sheeran from their Elvis Presley!
While this is one of those bridal shower games that require a bit of planning on your part, it’s super easy and fun to play once put together. Our Guess the Love Song guide and free printable will help you out.
9. Bridal Shower Newlywed Game
This newlywed-to-be game puts the bride and groom in the “hot-seat” before the shower, where they answers a series of fun trivia questions about each other, such as celebrity crush, favorite food, and biggest fear.
At the shower, ask the guests to write down how many questions they think the couple will get a matching answer for (the game can also be done as just an activity without this step). Then, ask the bride and groom in turns what they think their partner’s responses were. We can guarantee some laughter and a quite a few of “he/she said what?!”.
The guest(s) that guess the correct number of matching answers wins. It’s a fun way to test how well the couple knows their future spouse and entertain guests with their shared stories.
For more details, check out our FREE printable Newlywed Game guide.
MODERN MOH TIP: Use a Q&A video maker like Celebrate.buzz to add a nice visual element and an extra level of fun.
10. How Old Were The Bride and Groom?
To pull off the How Old Were The Bride and Groom? game, you’ll need to enlist the help of both the mother of the bride and the mother of the groom, who I’m sure will be more than happy to help!
Gather childhood photos of the couple, number them, and then let guests guess their ages in each picture. This game sparks fun storytelling, as guests reminisce about childhood phases, fashion choices, and uncanny resemblances.
At the bridal shower, display your picture poster board for everyone to see then pass out the game cards. The guest who guesses the most correct ages wins!
11. Where Were We?
For travel-loving couples, this game is a must! Display photos of the couple in various locations—think tropical beaches, iconic landmarks, or even quirky roadside attractions—and have guests guess where each was taken.
To add more fun, mix in obvious spots like their engagement location with some tricky ones that might throw guests off. The goal of this game is to have guests guess where the couple was when each of the photos was taken, so make sure these pictures aren’t selfies from their couch! While pictures taken during traveling vacations are ideal, feel free to feature everyday pictures like the couple at their favorite bar, restaurant, brewery, etc.
To play, pass out our Where Were We? game cards and a pen to each guest. As I’m sure you’ve figured out by now, the guest with the most correct answers wins a prize.
12. Bridal Shower Mad Libs
Take classic Mad Libs, add a wedding theme, and you’ve got a game that will have guests crying with laughter. After mingling, guests pair up and receive Mad Libs game cards and pens. Each team fills in missing words (without seeing the story first), then reads the final version aloud.
Trust us, there’s nothing like hearing the couple’s love story turn into absolute nonsense!
13. Bridal Shower Pictionary
It’s Pictionary, but with a wedding twist and perfect for a couples shower! Guests draw wedding-related words or phrases while their teammates try to guess before the timer runs out.
Bonus fun: Add some intentionally tricky words to challenge your most artistic (or not-so-artistic) friends.
Check out our detailed Bridal Shower Pictionary guide with some free printable ideas.
14. Save the Date
To set up this bridal shower game, you must get the couple to provide you with some dates that are important to them (i.e. their anniversary, first kiss, the date he proposed, future wedding date).
Next mix them up and list them on a game card (exclude the year!). Guests have to match each date to the correct occasion. Sounds easy? Not when you throw in a few tricky ones!
Check out full details and download our game guide in our Save the Date game post.
15. Couples Jeopardy
Couples Jeopardy is a DIY classic that’s totally worth the effort. Create a Jeopardy-style board with categories like “Bride,” “Groom,” “Love Story,” and “Fun Facts.” Feel free to add in wedding-related categories like movies, traditions, or celebrity couples.
To play the game, split the guests into two teams however you see fit and get ready to do your best Alex Trebek impersonation. The team with the most points at the end wins a prize!
16. Cold Feet
For a game that brings big reactions, Cold Feet is perfect. Guests must fish out rings from a bucket of ice water—using only their toes. The person who retrieves the most rings before time runs out is declared the winner!
Fair warning: Expect plenty of shrieking and dramatic reactions from guests who thought they had better pain tolerance.
17. Why Do They Do That? Trivia Game
Ever wondered why brides wear veils or why we toss the bouquet? This wedding tradition trivia game tests guests’ knowledge of weird and wonderful wedding traditions. This can be done at a set time, or set up a station with the quizzes and a box to collect the guests’ submissions in their own time. Either way, get set for a fun learning experience with plenty of “Wait, WHAT?!” moments.
18. Friendly Feud
Like Family Feud, but wedding-themed! Split guests into teams and have them guess the most popular answers to survey questions about relationships, weddings, and married life. Questions can range from “What’s the most common argument between newlyweds?” to “Name something you should never forget on your wedding day.”
The host keeps things moving by revealing answers and awarding points based on how many guests guessed correctly. For an added challenge, include a “Fast Money” round at the end where teams have to quickly come up with responses to rapid-fire questions. The back-and-forth competition, hilarious answers, and inevitable surprises make this a high-energy, laugh-out-loud game that’s a hit at any shower.
