Give Triva Games a Shot At Your Next Bridal Shower Party!
TheLoudestVoice | February 27, 2010No matter the tone of the event you’re planning - reserved and dignified or wild and crazy - it is probable that not all the invitees will know each other well, if at all.You can help your guests get to know each other and feel more relaxed by playing trivia games based on the bride, or on the couple, since that is the one thing they will all likely have in common.Keep reading to find out everything you need to know to organize your trivia games, from structure to questions - even prizes.
What Do You Know About the Bride/Couple
Since not everyone will arrive at the same time, you can write a short-answer or multiple-choice quiz that each guest receives upon arrival. These questions can either be all about the bride (Where was Anne born?Who is Anne’s celebrity crush?How old was Anne when she went on her first date?), or about the couple (Where did James take Anne on their first date?Did Anne and James kiss good-bye on their first date? ).If you like, you can collect all the quizzes after everyone has finished and see who won, or (which is way more entertaining), have the guests grade each other’s quizzes and then determine the winner.
On the Spot
You may also get together with the bride’s fiancée previous to the event, having him answer questions that she may also know the answers to.Then, during the party, have the bride sit front-and-center, and ask her each of the questions you asked her finacée, revealing what his answers were.Often the bride will get to hear some surprising compliments, and the guests may get to hear anecdotes, especially if the questions are a bit scandalous or if she disagrees with her fiancée. Possible questions might include: Which of James’s brothers does he feel closer to?What does James most admire about you?
What Should the Questions Be About
Make sure you don’t lose sight of your guests and the type of gathering you’re planning.Bachelorette parties are usually more provocative than bridal showers.Try to save the “frisky” or more personal questions for events where most of the guests are quite close to the bride.If the answer to any given question would make you blush around your boyfriend or husband’s grandmother, then don’t make your friend suffer that embarrassment.Try to find questions that are neither boring nor too scandalous - that way, everyone will have a good time. Some other cool things for you shower might include homemade baby shower favors, noah’s ark baby shower or baby shower favors.
Come up with some prize ideas
Once again, keep in mind the tone of the party and your guests’ preferences when considering prizes.All of the following options are quite inexpensive. For more dignified gatherings, a framed photo of the bride and groom, or a delicate scented candle might be appropriate – still romantic, but not explicit.In the case that your event is more spirited in nature, you can give more risqué items as awards, such as a feather boa or small sex toy.
It only takes a little planning and some creativity to create a fun time for both the bride and her guests, and for you to save money in the process.
