How to Play
Create your Hunt:Before the bridal shower, make a list of items and/or tasks that your guests will have to check off.
This can include a list of items related to the bride, the wedding, or common bridal shower themes (e.g., something blue, a lipstick, a ring). Or perhaps some tasks that prompt guests to complete simple wedding-related activities (e.g., “take a photo with someone wearing a dress,” or “find someone who has been married for over 10 years”).
Use our FREE premade printable game cards if you want a done-for-you option, or our blank cards if you want to fill in your own tasks. We have them available in two different styles of game play!
Set the Stage: Before the shower begins, scatter any chosen items around the venue or decide on task-based challenges for guests to complete. If you’re playing outdoors, feel free to spread items across different areas. For indoor venues, place items in various rooms or designated spaces to encourage guests to explore.
Divide into Teams or Play Solo: Depending on the size of your guestlist, you can have guests either compete as individuals or split into teams. Team play is great for larger groups and adds an extra layer of collaboration and excitement.
Give Instructions: Hand out the scavenger hunt game cards to each team or player. Explain that guests will either search for specific items (which they can collect) or complete tasks related to the bride and wedding. For example, they might have to snap a photo with someone wearing a certain colour or find an object related to the wedding theme.
Start the Hunt: Once everyone knows the rules, set a timer and let the hunt begin! Guests will race to complete their lists, and the first team (or individual) to finish wins. If time runs out before anyone completes the entire list, the winner can be the person or team who found the most items or completed the most tasks.
Announce the Winner: At the end of the hunt, gather everyone together and review their lists to see who found the most items or completed the most tasks. Award the winner(s) with fun bridal-themed prizes as a keepsake of their scavenger hunt victory!
Extra Tips for a Fun Bridal Shower Scavenger Hunt Game
Personalize the Items and Tasks: Make the game more meaningful by incorporating elements specific to the bride, like her favorite color, hobbies, or details about her relationship. For example, include items like “something in the bride’s favourite shade of pink” or tasks like “find someone who has known the bride for more than 10 years.”
Encourage Photo Evidence: For task-based challenges, ask guests to take photos on their phones to prove they completed the task. This is a great way to capture fun moments and create a digital scrapbook of the shower.
Mix Up the Challenges: To keep the hunt interesting, combine both item-finding and task-completing challenges. This way, guests will stay on their toes as they move between searching for physical objects and performing lighthearted activities.
Have a Fun Prize: Whether it’s a small gift basket or a cheeky bridal-themed item, a prize can motivate guests to put in their best effort. Plus, it’s a fun reward for the lucky winner!
A bridal shower scavenger hunt is the perfect way to get guests mingling and enjoying themselves in a relaxed setting. It adds an interactive twist to the day and lets everyone bond over the shared goal of checking off the most items. Tailor it to your venue, tweak the difficulty level based on your group, and you’ll have a bridal shower game that keeps the energy high and the fun rolling!
