Fun & Laughter: 17 Funny Bridal Shower Games to Remember!
Bridal showers are all about celebrating love, laughter, and unforgettable moments. If you’re looking to add a lighthearted twist to the festivities, funny bridal shower games are the perfect choice! These games guarantee smiles, giggles, and plenty of fun for everyone, from the bride-to-be to her guests.
In this collection, you’ll find a mix of classics, modern twists, and hilariously creative ideas. Whether you want quick laughs or interactive entertainment, these fun bridal shower games will ensure your bridal shower is anything but ordinary. Let’s get the party started!
1. Bridal Emoji Pictionary Game
What’s more current than speaking in emojis? The bridal emoji pictionary game is a perfect filler while the bride opens her gifts. Hand out cards with emoji sequences that guests need to translate into wedding phrases. The hilarity comes when people interpret “👰♀️🏃♀️💨” as “runaway bride” while someone else is convinced it means “bride with gas problems.” Trust us, the wrong answers are often funnier than the right ones!
2. Who Am I – Celebrity Edition
Who Am I – Celebrity Edition works for any size group and all ages. Everyone gets a celebrity name stuck to their forehead or back (without seeing it), and they have to figure out who they are by asking yes/no questions. To keep it wedding-themed, focus on famous celebrity brides!
All you need are sticky notes and a list of celebrities (see our free printable for ideas!), making this super simple to put together. The game gets funnier with more players as everyone watches each other’s increasingly desperate guessing strategies!
3. Romantic Comedy Charades
Romantic comedy charades brings the classic game alive with a love-focused twist! Teams take turns acting out famous scenes or titles from beloved rom-coms without saying a word.
Nothing says “comedy gold” like watching your future mother-in-law silently mime the infamous deli scene from “When Harry Met Sally” or seeing bridesmaids attempt to act out “The Notebook” rain kiss. This game tests movie knowledge and acting skills while creating an atmosphere of total hilarity. It’s perfect for guests of all ages who can bond over the nostalgia of classic love stories… and their terrible acting abilities!
4. Toilet Paper Dress
The toilet paper dress game is a classic that never fails to deliver laughs and memorable photos! Split guests into teams and hand out rolls of toilet paper. Each team chooses one “model” who will be transformed into a toilet paper bride.
Watch as teams frantically wrap, tuck, and create “couture” wedding gowns using nothing but flimsy bathroom tissue. Wardrobe malfunctions are inevitable – especially when the “designer” bridesmaids start directing their models down an imaginary runway with toilet paper trains dramatically ripping behind them. The absolute highlight? When someone’s “masterpiece” completely falls apart mid-catwalk!
While this tends to be a love-it-or-hate-it game, the ridiculous photos alone make it worth considering. Just be prepared for the cleanup afterward!
5. Scavenger Hunt
A bridal shower scavenger hunt gets everyone moving and interacting! Create a list (or use our free printable) of wedding-themed items to find or tasks to complete related to the bride or wedding theme.
There will be definite laughter from the creative challenges like “perform a classic wedding dance.” Watching normally reserved guests frantically searching through purses for “something blue” or convincing someone to practice wedding toasts creates endless entertainment.
This unique bridal shower game works anywhere – indoors, outdoors, or even across multiple locations if you’re feeling ambitious. Just make sure to capture photos of Aunt Marge convincing the pizza delivery guy to get down on one knee for evidence!
6. Musical Bouquet
Think musical chairs with a wedding twist! To play musical bouquet, create a circle, pass a makeshift bouquet while music plays, and when it stops, whoever holds it is eliminated. The laughs come when coordination fails after a few trips to the mimosa bar and people make dramatic lunges to pass the bouquet as the music stops. Continue until one champion remains!
7. Guess the Love Songs
The Guess the Love Song game takes a bit of planning but creates endless laughs (and groans!)! Make a playlist featuring both classic and current love songs – remember to include something for all generations since you’ll have guests of all ages. Choose 10-20 songs to keep it challenging without dragging on too long. Our free printable has a list of great ideas and answer cards.
At the shower, pass out paper and pens to each guest, then play short snippets of each song. You can have people guess the song title, the artist, or both for double points! The comedy unfolds when grandma surprisingly nails all the Bruno Mars songs while the bride’s college friends can’t identify a single Elvis track.
8. Bridal Shower Newlywed Game
This funny game puts the couple’s knowledge of each other to the test! Before the shower, ask the groom several fun questions about the bride – from her favorite memories to her secret habits.
At the shower, the bride tries to match her future husband’s answers. Guests can guess how many questions she’ll get right to add another layer of fun. The laughs come when intimate or amusing details are revealed, especially when there’s disagreement about whose memory is correct!
This game is also perfect for a couples wedding shower with both bride and groom-to-be present! For more details, check out our FREE printable Newlywed Game guide.
MODERN MOH TIP: Consider using a video recording (check out Celebrate.buzz to help) of the groom’s answers for extra entertainment value!
9. Bridal Shower Survival Kit Memory Game
This fun bridal shower game transforms a baby shower classic into wedding prep fun! The host prepares a tray of wedding day emergency items – safety pins, clear nail polish, stain remover, mints, and maybe even a discreet flask.
To play the Survival Kit Memory Game, show the tray to guests for just one minute before hiding it. Everyone then writes down everything they can remember. The laughs come when people start recalling random items that weren’t there, but forget the big items!
The practical bonus? The bride gets to keep all these items for her actual wedding day emergency kit! For larger groups, consider projecting an image of the tray so everyone can see clearly.
10. Bridal Shower Mad Libs
Bridal shower mad libs game turns wedding stories into hilarious nonsense! Guests pair up and receive Mad Libs game cards and pens and are asked to fill in blanks with random words based only on parts of speech (nouns, verbs, adjectives) without seeing the story context.
When these customized tales are read aloud, you’ll hear ridiculous scenarios about brides walking down the “toilet” to meet their “smelly” groom. No matter how sophisticated your crowd, this hilarious bridal shower game reduces everyone to giggling teenagers – especially when proper guests have to read stories about honeymoons in strange places!
11. What’s in Your Purse
Have you ever thought about all the random things in your purse? The What’s in Your Purse? game makes discovering them hilarious! Give everyone game cards listing typical purse items with point values. Players can check items at their own pace or follow along as the host calls them out.
The entertainment comes from watching people dig through their bags, discovering items they forgot they were carrying. There’s always someone with an emergency kit including tiny screwdrivers, multiple lipsticks, or mysterious packets of hot sauce. The explanations behind these items are often funnier than the discoveries themselves! The person with the highest score wins, but everyone enjoys this peek into each other’s daily survival tactics.
12. Bridal Shower Pictionary
Bridal Shower Pictionary is different from the emoji game – here, players actually draw! Participants pick wedding-related words from a bowl and illustrate them while teammates guess what they’re creating. If the drawing team can’t guess correctly, the opportunity passes to the opposing team.
The hilarity peaks when someone has to draw “cold feet” or “honeymoon suite” while trying to maintain some level of appropriateness. Artistic talent is definitely not required – in fact, the worse the drawing skills, the funnier the game becomes. Victory goes to the team with the most correct guesses, but everyone wins by witnessing the creative interpretations of wedding concepts!
13. The Lingerie Game
The lingerie game adds a personal touch to gift-giving that’s perfect for a lingerie shower. Ask guests to bring lingerie that reflects their personality, then the bride has to guess who gifted each piece.
Display all items on a clothesline at the shower, and let the bride guess the giver of each lingerie piece. The best part will be when she confidently attributes the sweet, modest nightgown to her wild college roommate and the racy, barely-there number to her mother-in-law! Watching people explain their choices is priceless – especially when the most conservative friend brings the raciest item. Bonus: the bride gets a well-stocked honeymoon wardrobe!
14. Couples Jeopardy
This DIY game takes some effort but delivers big laughs! Create a Couples Jeopardy game board with categories like “The Bride,” “The Groom,” “The Couple,” and “Fun Facts.” For each category, develop questions ranging from easy to challenging with point values from 100 to 500.
Split guests into teams and channel your inner game show host. The real comedy happens when supposedly “best friends” have no idea where the couple met but can perfectly recall what they ordered on their first date. Questions like “What was their first pet’s name?” reveal which friends have actually been paying attention during all those brunches! This fun bridal shower game exposes which friends know the couple best and creates some friendly competition.
15. Cold Feet
This hilariously chilly game guarantees shrieks and giggles! In the Cold Feet game, place several toy rings at the bottom of buckets filled with ice water. For larger parties, set up multiple stations so more people can play simultaneously.
Participants take turns plunging their feet into the freezing water, attempting to fish out rings using ONLY their toes. Usually timed for extra pressure, guests race against the clock while making increasingly dramatic faces as the cold sets in. The shrieking provides entertainment, but watching people try to maintain dignity while digging through ice with their feet is the icing on the cake. Whoever retrieves the most rings wins – though the real prize is the hilarious photos you’ll capture!
16. MASH Game
Remember this childhood classic that predicted your future? Give it a wedding twist! Create MASH game cards (or use our free printable) with categories like “honeymoon destination,” “number of kids,” and “type of home.” Players circle options in each category, then, through an elimination process, their “married life future” is determined.
The laughs come when the bride discovers she’ll be living in a shack with her husband, seventeen children, and a pet crocodile while working as a circus performer. This nostalgic and fun game brings back childhood memories while creating absurd predictions that get everyone giggling.
17. What’s On Your Phone? Game
This modern twist on the purse game awards points for photos, apps, or content found on guests’ phones. Create a checklist with items like “a selfie with the bride,” “a food delivery app,” or “an embarrassing photo you forgot existed.”
The comedy unfolds as people realize just how many random screenshots they’ve been hoarding or explain why they need seventeen different photo editing apps. It’s a hilarious glimpse into our digital lives that proves our phones are just as chaotic as our purses!
