Hey Julie...I have a few ideas! We played Bingo and a "how well do you know the bride and groom?" game at one of my bridal showers and everyone had a good time. We also played two other games. First, my bridesmaids filled up a decorative vase/glass jar with Hershey kisses and as each person arrived at the shower they were asked to guess the number of kisses and submit their guesses along with their names on a piece of paper and stuck it in a basket. Later on while people are eating or whatever, someone has to go through the guesses and figure out who came closest with out going over...the winner gets to take home the vase/jar full of kisses! The other game we played: think of about 20 or so "famous" married couples (Micheal Douglas & Catherine Zeta Jones, Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes, etc). Then list just one half of the couple and have everyone guess the other half. Whomever guesses the most correct wins a prize. Be sure to throw in a few obscure couples to make it bit more difficult so you don't end up with a ton of winners! Hope this helps a bit!

We tie all the bows (from presents) and ribbons onto a paper plate, with streamers coming down. (Poke holes to pull ribbons through) This is what the bride-to-be carries for her rehearsal walk down the aisle. It gives her something to carry. The tackier..the better. Write down the first thing the bride says as she opens each present. Then read it back to her under the title..Things the bride says on her wedding night! (Don't let her know you're doing this) This one is a riot. Buy a journal book. Have everyone write a short story about either the bride or the groom. Each person gets their own page. Then take the picture of that person and put it on the page. It makes a good memory book and a nice gift for the bride and groom. You can paste in the pictures later when you print them out...just have it done by the wedding day!

Julie...the library often has books on shower ideas/games, call and ask them to check the shelf for you.

Another cute idea...Buy a cute journal/notebook and pass it around to all the guests, asking them to write down little stories about the bride or pieces of advice about love and marriage. My bridesmaids did this at one of my showers and it's such a nice momento of the day. I've gone back and read through so many times since then and each time it makes me smile as well as shed a few tears. You could also record the gifts in the back of the journal so the bride always has a reminder of who gave her what at the shower.
