fill a bowl with rice and throw in some closed safety pins, put on a blindfold and see how many you can pull out in a minute. We played this at my shower and it is A LOT harder than you think, I only got 2!

One cute one at a friend’s shower was that a ball of yarn and pair of scissors were passed around. Each of us were told to cut off however much we wanted–4″ or 25′, whatever. After we all had our pieces of yarn cut, we were told that we were to name one fact about either the bride or the groom for each time we could wrap the yarn completely around our fingers. No one could repeat facts. It was so much fun to watch the people with huge amounts of yarn wrack their brains trying to come up with random facts!

One thing I would DEFINITELY forego is the so-called “drawing” that’s really just a scheme to get each guest to adress her own thank-you note envelope. So tacky.

My aunts had a really fun game at my shower. Every guest was asked to bring their pjs in a brown paper bag. My aunts made a list of every guest’s name with a line by it. As each guest arrived they put a number on the outside of the bag. So when the time came, my aunt would say we have bag #1 and pull out the pjs - the guests were to guess who’s they were by writing the number by a name. It was hilarious! We had one guest put nothing in their bag!!!!
It was a big hit!

Another game is getting to know the bride and groom. My MOH did this game. She asked me to come up with 15-20 questions and answers. She than filled in 3 more fake answers to each question (multiple choice). It’s amazing how many people actually don’t know and shocked by who knows the most!
