I recently attended my girlfriend Lauren’s bridal shower in Fresno where good times were had by all. Cristina, the Maid of Honor, had one game that I found particularly genius that I had to share with the hive! But before we get to that, check out the cake that Cristina made at home for the shower. It was incredible!!!

… Not to mention the hydrangea centerpieces, with hydrangeas cut from her mom’s garden!

Anyway, so this brilliant game was as follows:

Lauren the bride was asked to purchase her shower thank you notes in advance, and bring the envelopes to the shower. While the guests were mingling, we all asked that each guest fill out their names and mailing addresses on the envelopes, for some prize drawings later.

While Lauren was opening her shower gifts, her MOH periodically drew an envelope and gave a gift to whomever she drew from the pile.

And, at the end of the shower, a complete stack of envelopes was handed to the bride, all completely addressed!!! It probably saved her an hour or two of envelope addressing, and took virtually no effort at all for us guests!

On a slightly related note, I threw my favorite pair of black pumps into my car’s trunk for the weekend and never ended up wearing them, so in the trunk they stayed during my trip to Fresno. If you didn’t know, Fresno is hot in the summer. Like, fry-an-egg-on-the-sidewalk-hot.

And the glue on my shoes melted. For reals, Fresno? For reals?

Have you witnessed any brilliant shower games lately? What were they?
