Question:
I need bridal shower games/ themes. Something different other than the ones we would find by googling. ~ Lynn

Excellent question! I think the most popular game is the toilet paper wedding dress. When my sister had her bridal shower, all my sisters and I were on separate teams and my mother was the judge. When it came time to picking the winning team we were all yelling out “Who’s your favorite mom!?” “Mom! Don’t forget who goes with you to your doctor appointments!” “Who got you the gift certificate at Talbots mom?!”"Mom who bought you that outfit you’re wearing?! Pick me! Pick me!” Haha… She didn’t pick my team so I took back her gift certificate from Talbots. Just kidding.

::Pass The Parsnip::
One of the games that we played that day was Pass the Parsnip. Omigod, that game was so funny. We were all cracking up. We had 4 teams and each team had a parsnip. When the music played you had to pass the parsnip around but only using your knees. Each time the music stopped they cut off an inch of the parsnip. The reason it was so funny was because each time the parsnip got cut down shorter, it got harder to hold with your knees so it got to the point where we were all groping each other just to get a good grip. The last team standing who didn’t drop the parsnip earned a gift. If you can’t find parsnips then pick a vegetable that’s long and thick……*dirty laugh* No not your vibrator! Omigod that would be so funny! Pass the Vibrator hahahaha with it on! Hahaha…. Ok I have a dirty mind we all know that by now! It’s no secret!

::How Well Do You Really Know Him?::
The bridesmaids make a list of questions and ask the husband to be to answer them ahead of time. You then ask the bride the same questions but she has to answer them how she thought he would have answered. Every time she gets a question wrong you rip off a piece of the foot long bubble gum tape. I swear by the time my sister was done she was practically drooling because the wad of gum she was chewing was that big. When she answered the last question, we didn’t even understand what she was saying. Hahaha. She was talking slow so she wouldn’t drool while she was speaking.

Here are a few that I thought sounded like fun.

::Take It Off::
Give every guest a paper bag, and make them put it over their head. The host then tells everyone to remove one article (watch, shoe, jewelry, etc.). The smart ones will just remove the bag, while less fortunate ones keep removing clothes till the last one realizes everyone is watching her strip.

::Make Up The Bride::
Get a variety of colors of cosmetics, (bright reds, greens, purples, the louder and bolder the color, the better). Ask for volunteers. Have the bride sit in the middle of the room. Have the volunteer choose a cosmetic. Blindfold the volunteer. Blindfolded volunteers are to “make-up” the bride. Then, the bride and make-up artists pose for a photo. This gets absolutely hilarious.

::I Never…::
The first person starts out with a true statement (I never kissed before) and anyone that has done whatever the person says has to throw in (pennies, candies, or you have the people eat candies starting out with 10 or whatever you decide to use). The person with the most items left wins.

As for themes I would stick with something related to her. One of my friends was going to Hawaii for her honeymoon so her bridal shower had a Hawaiian theme. Another one I went to used the bride’s color scheme. Another girl I know had a spring wedding so her bridal shower had a spring theme with fresh flowers. Hope this helps!
