1. How Well Do You Know the Bride?
This is our top choice for printable and easy bridal shower games because it’s a great chance for guests to learn more about the bride-to-be (or show off how much they already know). Simply have the bride answer all 15 questions and record her responses as your answer key. The guest with the most correct wins a prize!
2. Bridal Shower Bingo
This next choice is definitely the most popular of all printable bridal shower games. Not only is it super easy, but a great way to make the gift-opening portion of the bridal shower not so boring for guests.
Pass out the bridal bingo playing cards to everyone and have them write in which gifts they think the bride will be receiving, marking the correct guesses as they go. The guest with the first to get 5 in a row wins!
3. He Said, She Said
We love this option because it gets the groom involved as well. Before the bridal shower, have the couple decide who each of the 15 statements applies to most and if they can’t agree, the answer is both. Keep their responses as your answer key. The guest who guesses the most correctly wins.
4. What’s In Your Purse?
This is another classic bridal shower game because it’s simple to play and always results in some laughs. Hand out the What’s In Your Purse game cards to each guest and have them go through their purses to check items off the list. The guest with the most total points wins this fun game.
5. Bridal Shower Mad Libs
While this game has no clear winner, it’s hands down the most hilarious of all free games on this list. To play, guests will have to team up with one another to fill in the blanks in the couple’s love story. Once they’ve filled out their respective cards, take turns reading the love stories aloud. If you’re looking for a fun bridal shower game then this one tops the list!

6. Would She Rather
This is another getting-to-know-the-bride game, except instead of answering open-ended questions about her, guests must guess which of two choices she’d rather. Before the bridal shower, the host has the bride answer each of the 16 this-or-that scenarios and record her responses as your answer sheet. The guest with the most correct guesses at the end of the game wins.
7. Bridal Shower Word Scramble
This is one of the best free printable bridal shower games for passing the time while the bride opens her gifts. Simply hand out game cards to each guest and start the clock. The guest who unscrambles each of the 28 wedding-themed words the fastest is the winner.
8. Bridal Emoji Pictionary
We love this free bridal shower game because it’s a classic game with a modern twist, making it a perfect game for both young and old guests. Like the previous game, the guest who correctly answers all 15 phrases the fastest wins.
9. Find the Guest
This is by far the most interactive of all printable bridal shower games because guests are forced to converse with one another in order to play. Once the hostess hands out game cards, the bridal shower party attendees will have to mingle amongst themselves to find a fellow guest who matches each of the 15 descriptions. The first to find all 15 wins!
10. Disney Love Songs Game
This is a popular choice when it comes to free printable bridal shower games because everyone is guaranteed to know at least some of the answers, no matter what age they are. Once each guest gets a game card, they must match the movie to its love song counterpart. There may be a few ties along the way, so plan for multiple winners.
11. Bridal Shower Scattergories
This is certainly the most tricky of all games on the list because it requires guests to put a little thought into their responses. Once each guest has filled in all of the 48 blanks, it’s time to see who has the most unique answers. Whoever ends up with the most total points wins.
12. Bridal Shower Word Search
Our final game on the list is similar to the word scramble in that it’s another great way to entertain guests during gift-opening. Start the clock once each guest has their game card and the first to find all 20 hidden words wins!
