Listed Below are a few sample ideas for Games that you may like to play at your Bridal Shower / Kitchen Tea....

Toilet Roll Bride

Guests break into groups (3 is good). Get a roll of toilet paper, handful of straws, sticky tape and 10 minutes (or time you see fit). Groups must design, construct and model one toilet paper wedding dress before the bride to be, who chooses winner. Good ideas might be toilet paper roses, bouquets of toilet paper and straws, veils, tiaras.

Draw it

Every person is handed a piece of paper, pen and a hard covered book. They are all instructed to put their names on the paper and then turn it over and put it on the book. Then they are to all put the books on their heads (with the clean side of the paper facing upward). They have to draw what the bride I will look like on her wedding day (making the drawing as detailed as they can- with a veil, jewelry, a train, etc.... Allow them 2 minutes to finish their drawings. Then they can take the book off their heads and look at their masterpieces, (It is a crack-up). Then hand all of the papers to the bride to vote on which one is the very best. Then turn the paper over to see who had drawn it. The bride can keep all of the drawings and look at them fondly over the years.

Observation

This is best about 30 minutes into the party. Have everyone sit in a designated area and hand them a piece of paper and pen. Then ask the bride-to-be to leave the room. Now have each guest describe on paper everything they can remember about what the bride is wearing and to get as detailed as possible. (earrings, shoes, stockings?, make-up, watch, dress, pants, blouse...etc...) The more detailed the information the better it is. Give them 5 minutes and then tell them to stop writing. Then invited the bride back in. The winner is the person that described the most.

Clothes Pin

This one is a game as well as an ice breaker. When guests arrive to the party, each one is given a clothes pin (usually decorated in the theme colors of the wedding ) and instructed NOT to mention the Grooms name during the entire shower. If someone catches another person saying his name, they (the person that said his name) must give up their clothes pin to the "catcher". At the end of the shower, the person with the most "pins" is declared the winner and WINS a prize. This is a fun way of keeping the party interactive and helps people to relax a bit easier.

Trivia Game

Have a combined party for all of the wedding attendants. The best way to do it was to pass out sort of a multiple choice (or multiple guess for those who don't know much) test to see how well they knew the bride and groom and their relationship. The person (or couple) with the most questions right wins a prize like movie passes. Some good questions were "Where did they eat at during our first date", "What weird thing happened during their second date at his house" (in one couple's case, no one got that one right...the answer was that his goat started giving birth).

Ice Breaker

This isn't really a game, but it is a good wedding shower ice breaker. Go around the room and have each guest spend no longer than 30 seconds telling everyone who they are and how they know the bride & groom. This will loosen everyone up for the games:

Charades

This is one of the most popular bridal shower games. The guests separate into 2 groups and write down titles of movies, shows, or famous people. Each team then selects a person to act out the charade and they draw from the opposing teams list of titles. From here, we all know how charades work, so your team members must guess what the title was as the appointed team member silently acts out the clues. You can also do it Pictionary style, which is fun too.

"Who Am I?"

This is very popular ice breaker wedding shower game. Prepare index cards with the names of famous people written on them. When guests arrive, attach a card to each guest's back so that the guest cannot see who the name is, but everyone else can. Each guest must then ask the other guests for clues to the identity of the famous person whose name is taped to their back. To prevent cheating from clever guests trying to read it in a mirror, place a 2nd index card over the title to hide it.

Pre-Addressed Envelope Door Prize Game

As guests arrive they are handed an envelope and asked to write their address on it, then it's put in a basket. One envelope is drawn, and the winning guest receives a prize. Then the envelopes (already addressed) along with the thank you cards were given to the mother, making it very easy to send.
