A 'Pass the Love Story Notes' game. Write different parts of the couple's love story on small slips of paper. Put them in a box. Guests sit in a circle. Play some soft music. When the music stops, the person with the box takes out a slip, reads it out loud, and then passes the box. It's a simple yet engaging way to share the love story during the bridal shower.
One game could be the 'Left and Right Gift Exchange'. You start by reading a 'left and right' story. Every time the word 'left' is mentioned, the gift passes to the left, and when 'right' is said, it goes to the right. The person holding the gift at the end of the story gets to keep it.
A great game is the 'Candy Bar Story Builder'. The host starts a story about the bride and groom, like 'Once upon a time, there was a bride who was like a KitKat, she had layers of wonderfulness.' Then each guest takes a turn adding to the story using another candy bar as a description. It's a really creative and interactive game.
One fun element is sharing romantic anecdotes. Guests get to hear cute and sometimes hilarious stories from the couple's relationship.
One fun game is 'Love Story Charades' where guests act out famous love stories. It's a hit and gets everyone laughing and involved.
One idea could be a 'Fairy - Tale Love Story' Mad Libs. For example, 'Once upon a time, there was a [adjective] princess who met a [adjective] prince in a [place].' Another could be a 'Modern Love Story' like 'A [job] girl met a [job] guy on a [app / website].'
Well, in this game based on the story, there are some cool rules. For instance, when you receive the present, you can't peek at what's inside until you've opened it properly. Also, if you've already opened a present, you can't participate in passing that particular present again. And a really fun rule could be that if the music plays for more than a certain amount of time without stopping, the person currently holding the present gets an extra small gift. This adds an element of surprise and keeps everyone on their toes during the game.
In the pass the presents bridal shower game based on the story, you gather everyone. There's a beautifully wrapped present. The music kicks in, and the passing begins. If you're the one left holding the present when the music halts, you unwrap it. Sometimes, there could be a little task written inside the wrapper. For example, you might need to describe your ideal wedding day in just three sentences. This game is all about having fun and getting everyone involved in the bridal shower celebration.
A great bridal shower game for left to right story is 'Left - Right Photo Story'. You take a bunch of photos of the bride and groom and arrange them in a row from left to right. Then the guests have to make up a story based on those photos as they look at them in order. Another is 'Left - Right Gift Guessing'. You place some small bridal - related gifts in a line from left to right. The guests have to guess what each gift is without touching them, and then as they go from left to right, they can open them if they guessed correctly. 'Left - Right Memory Moments' is also a good one. You write down different memories or events in the bride's life on cards and place them from left to right. Guests take turns reading the cards and sharing a short story related to that memory.
Well, at a bridal shower I attended, we had a right left game. The story was about a bride's journey to find the perfect wedding dress. As the story went on, the wrapped present was passed around. In the end, it was a lovely photo album for the bride to put her wedding memories in. Everyone had a great time participating in the game.
First, gather all the details of the couple's love story. Then, you can choose to either write it down on cards or just have one person be the 'storyteller'. Have the guests sit in a circle. The 'storyteller' starts by saying the beginning of the story and then passes a symbolic item, like a flower, to the next guest. That guest adds to the story and passes the item on. Keep going until the whole story is told. It's a great way to get everyone involved in sharing the couple's beautiful journey.
