A sweet box of memories made by your favourite people! Starting with a container of choice (kraft card box, large jar, personalised box), slowly create your time capsule with beautiful mementos, photos, recipes, newspaper clippings, important pieces of information, handwritten notes and more. At the end of the celebration, seal the box; only opening it again on a designated date (e.g. first wedding anniversary). Want to mix things up a little? You might like to create a video time capsule instead, add some cheeky bits & pieces (18+ games, love coupons, cheeky date ideas) or even turn it into a book (by sticking mementos into a scrapbook!).

The Jar Game (Quick Overview)
A sweet, fun and memorable game that will result in the BEST kind of keepsake! To play, simply set up an empty jar alongside pens, pencils and pieces of paper. Throughout the celebration, party-goers write down fun moments, funny conversations, cute exchanges, nice comments and so on. Over time, these notes will build up to create a beautiful picture of the event - through the eyes of bride-to-be and guests' alike! And the best part? These notes can be used to re-live the celebration over and over again OR added to a scrapbook along with pictures for the ULTIMATE memento!
Playing 'The Jar' Game
YOU WILL NEED:
An empty jar, some small pieces of paper and pens.
PREPARATION:
On a table, set up your empty jar alongside some paper and pens. Make sure this table is easily accessible so that guests can participate in the game throughout the party. That's it - done and dusted until everyone arrives!

HOW TO PLAY:
Once everyone has arrived at the venue, let them know that there is a special jar sitting on a table. This jar is currently empty, but by the end of the celebration you expect it to be overflowing.
Why?
Because this jar is all about remembering the good times!
Each time a guest experiences something funny, sweet, nice, fun, etc. throughout the day/night, they have the chance to write it down and place it in the jar. Over time, these notes will build up to create a wonderful picture of the celebration - through the eyes of bride-to-be and guests' alike.
Following the event, your bride-to-be can use these notes re-live the BEST times, over and over again!
Hen Party Warning:
Imagine the stories and funny notes as the night goes on... the more drinks downed, the more outrageous they'll become!

Alternative Ways to Play
A GAME WITHIN A GAME
Encourage everyone to leave little notes by turning it into a competition! Hand out short checklists with different types of memories to be recorded. For example, 'a funny moment', 'a sweet moment', 'something that made me happy cry', 'something that surprised me'.
The first to write notes for each of the items on their list gets a cheeky prize. But the overall winner in all of this is the bride, who will have even more to look back on!
TIME IT
Add a clock to the table and ask guests to record the time at the top of the paper when they write their note/s. After the event sort messages into time order, meaning you can re-live moments as they actually happened!

Dress the Bride (Quick Overview)
A truly unique activity that will result in laughter and epic photo ops! Start by assigning each guest one clothing item or accessory before the celebration. It is their job to purchase (or find) this item and bring it to the event (without the bride knowing). On the big day, announce that the group have a little surprise - at which point guests proceed to 'dress' the bride with each of their items; all of which combine to create one incredible outfit! Want to mix things up a little? You may like to add some 'purchase' rules (e.g. clothing and accessories must be found at an op shop or around the home), or set a theme that items are picked around (glam, raunchy, bridal or even pirates works well for this!).

How to 'Dress the Bride'
PREPARATION:
This activity can be for the bridesmaids alone, or you can get the entire guest list involved. Whichever option you choose, first thing's first: you need to assign one item per person.
Example items include:
|
|
|
If there is a large guest list/group of bridesmaids, you could break into small teams - working together to find some glorious outfit gold!
DRESSING THE BRIDE:
To make sure this outfit comes together perfectly, organisation is key. Set up an announcement (for party-goers eyes ONLY - this is to be kept hush, hush from the bride), and let them know the plan:
Step 1: In the lead up to the event, everyone participating is assigned an item
Step 2: Each person (or team) purchases their item
Step 3: Each person works their magic and gets those items to the celebration without the bride-to-be seeing
Step 4: Head bridesmaid announces that you've got a little surprise. Guests' then proceed to 'dress' the bride with each item, one at a time!
Step 5: Many happy snaps are taken and many laughs are had

Step 5: Many happy snaps are taken and many laughs are had
Alternative Ways to Play
ADD SOME RULES
Rather than lettings guests purchase what they please, set some rules. For example, items must be purchased from an op shop, items must be found around the home, items must be in a particular theme, or items must be in a particular colour.
THEME IT
As mentioned above, you may like to set a theme rule for your accessories. Some examples include:
- A pirate theme: where an eye patch, pirate hat, bandana, and even a mini pirate flag may make an appearance - turning your bride-to-be into the ultimate scallywag!
- A glam theme: providing your girl with some of the finer things in life
- A colour theme: by requesting that each participant purchase an item in a particular shade (pink, for example) or shades (such as pastel colours), your hen will be a colour co-ordinated vision!
- A raunchy theme: I think you know where I'm going with this. If there's an accessory in an inappropriate shape, it's obviously a must for this celebration!
- A bridal theme: from a beautiful veil to glorious glasses, your girl will shine in hand-picked bride-to-be gear!
As you can see, the options are quite endless when it comes to theming your accessories!
Handy Hint:
Surprising the bride-to-be with a fancy dress hen do? Ask her to turn up in a white dress (so that she feels comfortable - which is a must on her special day); then bring the theme to her outfit with an assortment of accessories (picked especially for her by each guest!).

THE 'SNAP THAT' GAME:
With cameras in everyone’s pockets these days, photo evidence of celebrations is almost guaranteed. And because of this, there will be so many pictures that the bride can look back on. And this game will help you get your hands on those pictures...! |

YOU WILL NEED:
Pre-written wedding vows (for this, Google is your best friend), printed game cards, pens or pencils.

Print off your playing cards ready for the celebration.

PLAYING YOUR 'FILL THE BLANK' VOWS GAME:
Split guests into two (or more) teams - with each team appointing one captain. Hand the captains a playing card and explain that nobody else is to sneak a peek.
Team captains then ask their members, one-by-one, to come up with fun, funny and creative nouns, adjectives or verbs. The captain adds these words to the appropriate spaces - resulting in a completed set of vows.
Now for the fun part.
Have one person from each team star in a mock ceremony. It is here that the hilarious wedding vows will give party goers a little inside look at the hen and her groom's beautiful love story!
WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER
Why not get the entire group involved at once?
Ask party-goers to give you the first noun, adjective or verb that comes to mind (depending on the section of the vows you are up to), and fill in their answers as you go.
Once finished, ask your beautiful bride-to-be to read her 'wedding vows' to the group. Prepare for giggles!

Alternative Ways to Play Wedding Vow Mad Libs
SURPRISE GUEST
Surprise everyone with a pop in visit from the handsome groom himself. The couple can then practice reading their vows to each other... but rather than the beauty of their words causing guests to tear up, the ridiculous promises will result in hysterics.
PLAY BEFORE THE DAY
Get party goers excited for the event with a cheeky mad libs RSVP card!
A bit of fun, these cards will not only let you know who's attending, but can also be used a fab ice-breaker on the day. How? Your beautiful hen can read each RSVP out loud before trying to guess who wrote it!

CHANGE UP THE STORYLINE
Your game doesn't have to be about the wedding day. Rather, create a mad libs page dedicated to the bachelorette party, bridal shower party, the couple's honeymoon plans, or even their proposal. No matter the setting, the resulting story is guaranteed to bring the laughs!
VOWS ARE FOR KEEPING
These funny wedding mad libs also make a great keepsake!
Either place in a scrapbook (along with other mementos from the day - photos, letters from guests, ticket stubs, etc.) or simply hand over to your guest of honour at the end of her celebration.
It will be such a great memory from her wedding shower, kitchen tea or bachelorette party that she can look back on for many years to come!

Hen Party Bucket List Game (Quick Overview)
It's a scavenger hunt... with a thoughtful twist! To organise, you first need some intel on the bride-to-be. What would she love to try in your local area? This could be anything from life drawing, singing her favourite song in a karaoke bar or being part of a flash mob, to devouring the biggest donut at the bakery. Call in help from her fiancé and the other bridesmaids to create the ultimate experience list for her. Type up the items that are possible to complete at her hen do, and print it off. On the big day/weekend, make your way through each experience as a group (with LOTS of photo evidence along the way!). Want to mix things up a little? Add a competitive edge by splitting into small groups (first team to finish the list wins), create a special hashtag to keep track of your images, add items to your bucket list that involve video (e.g. take a video of the hen downing a shot), or create a 'Couple's Bucket List' (guests' write down ideas for the happy couple to complete together during their first year of marriage)!

How to Play Hen Party Bucket List
YOU WILL NEED:
Some intel on what your bride-to-be would love to try. This could be anything from a relaxing spa day or eating a giant doughnut, through to pole dancing or cocktail making! You will also need enough checklists for everyone in the group (see below for more details).
PREPARATION:
It's a scavenger hunt... but with items the bride-to-be has always wanted to do!
Have a chat with your best friend (and/or her fiancé if you would like to keep it a on the down-low) and find out what she would love to experience in your local city (bonus points if she's never done it before!). Type up the activities she mentions, making sure that each item is placed alongside a section for guests to tick once the task has been completed.
Once your 'hens night bucket list' is finalised, print it off (one per person attending the celebration).
EXAMPLE BUCKET LIST IDEAS INCLUDE:
|
|
Handy Hint:
You can add a couple of your own ideas and/or hen activities if the list needs a few more options. Just make sure it's something your best friend would LOVE taking part in - this game is all about her after all!
PLAYING 'HEN PARTY BUCKET LIST':
Start the game by handing the bride and each of her guests' a bucket list before heading out and about
The aim is to complete the list with the bride-to-be (and get photo evidence along the way!)
Treat Yourselves:
When the group finishes all of the tasks, it's only fair that EVERYONE gets to bask in the glory. Treat your crew to something special! This could be a surprise dinner and glass of wine [organised prior to the day], certificates stating that they completed their bucket list, mini favours - such as small bottles of wine, or a high five... but only if your hand slaps are that legendary others NEED to experience them.
Alternative Ways to Play 'Hen Party Bucket List'
GAME ON!
Rather than completing each of the items as a group, break off into smaller groups and get those competitive juices flowing. First team to get through each of the items (photo and/or video evidence, or it didn't happen) wins!
FOLLOW THE HASHTAG
Playing in teams and want to keep an eye on what the others are up to? Create a special hashtag (JUST for the game). Teams can then upload images alongside the hashtag once an item has been completed; meaning any team who views the hashtag will be able to see what their competitors have achieved so far.
WE LIKE TO MOVE IT, MOVE IT
Rather than just capturing still shots, consider adding items to your bucket list that involve video. For example, ‘take a video of the hen doing [insert bucket list item]'. Alternatively, teams who film themselves completing items on the list could receive bonus points.
SURPRISE LIST
Instead of creating a list prior to the celebration, ask each guest to have input at the actual bachelorette party. This can be done by handing out pieces of paper and asking party-goers to write down one thing they know the bride would love to do. Checklist items obviously have to be attainable.
Write all of the items onto one big checklist and make your way through as a group!
COUPLE'S BUCKET LIST
Set out a jar, basket or bucket alongside paper, pens and pencils. Throughout the party, guests' can write down bucket list items for the happy couple to complete during their first year of marriage.

BRIDAL DRAWING
For the group seeking a good laugh and a dash of creativity!
Preparation:
Come up with a list of wedding-related words. For example, wedding dress, bridesmaids, first dance and romance. Once you have your list, write each word onto its own individual piece of paper. Fold these up and place them in a bowl.
How To Play:
Divide guests into two teams. These teams will take it in turns to have one of their members pick a wedding related word from the bowl and attempt to draw it (all whilst their team members try to guess what the drawing is, using pictures alone). Set a time limit for the drawer (such as 1 minute) to make the game even more fun!

LOVE STORY
Tell the REAL story of how the happy couple got to where they are today! This sweet game can be played in two different ways – with both options resulting in hilarious stories your best friend can treasure forever!
How To Play - Pass the Love Story:
Find some paper and pens. Starting with the words ‘Once upon a time’, the first guest writes one sentence about how the bride and groom met. The paper is then passed to the next guest, who adds their own sentence to the growing story.
One by one, guests add one sentence each (these can be as crazy, ridiculous or as realistic as they like), and, in turn, play their part in telling the story of how the couple met and fell in love. Once everyone has had a turn, finish the story off with a sentence of your own and then read the love story out loud. Cue laughter!

How To Play - Love Story Mad Libs:
This option takes a little more work (or, if you don't have the time, there are lots of printable options available on Etsy). Mad Libs are basically fill-the-gap stories; meaning each guest will differ in their responses (resulting in a range of different love stories!).
For example:
When Bec met Daz it was _______ at first sight. Daz couldn't believe his ______. Bec was looking ______ in a ______ and smelled just like his favourite ______.
Write up and print enough of these 'fill the gap' playing cards as there are guests at your bridal shower. Collect the different stories after a certain amount of time and have your bride-to-be award her favourite with a special prize!
This option takes a little more work (or, if you don't have the time, there are lots of printable options available on Etsy). Mad Libs are basically fill-the-gap stories; meaning each guest will differ in their responses (resulting in a range of different love stories!).

Sweet Wedding Shower Games
DESIGNER GOWN
Let’s get those creative juices flowing. Show your bride-to-be just how amazing she will look on her wedding day in an array of wonderfully drawn dresses!
Preparation:
On a computer, paste a picture of the bride-to-be's face at the top of a blank page. This will become your ‘Designer Gown Game Card’. Print off enough game cards for each guest attending the celebration (plus a couple as backup... just in case).
How To Play:
Hand bridal shower guests a game card and grey lead pencil.
To kick off the game, explain that everyone is going to design a bridal gown for their beautiful guest of honor. This is done by letting their inner artist out - drawing a dress, veil, shoes, arms, legs and body to go along with their bride's (currently) floating face!
Drawing skills, dress-sense and humour makes this game hilarious! Best dress, as chosen by the bride-to-be, wins.
Handy Tip:
You could also award a prize to the funniest dress, most unique dress, etc. if you wish. You could also stick each drawing in a special keepsake book for your bride-to-be to look back on (guests could write a sweet message next to their masterpiece).

ALTERNATIVE WAY TO PLAY:
Rather than designing a gown for the bride, ask guests to draw the dress they think she will actually be wearing on her wedding day.
THE MR & MRS GAME
No matter how many times I’ve played this game over the years, it never gets olds. The answers are always fun, sweet and real – unique to that particular couple. It’s so nice hearing these cute insights into the lovebirds relationship.
Preparation:
A few weeks before the Bridal Shower, ask the groom to answer some questions about his fiancé, himself and their relationship. Questions could be about their first date, first kiss, or even fun quirks!
How To Play:
At the actual event, sit your beautiful bride-to-be down and, one-by-one, make your way through these very same questions. The catch is, your guest of honour has to try and work out what her soon-to-be hubby’s thoughts were and answer the same way.
Make this game even more fun by filming the groom’s reaction and answer to each question. You can then follow each of your bride-to-be’s answers with a short video of the groom – telling the group whether or not she was correct.

Before the party, ask guests to do one or more of the following:
Help the happy couple celebrate their first year of marriage with a thoughtful time capsule prepared especially for them!
Preparation:
Before the party, ask guests to do one or more of the following:
- Bring a gift to the bridal shower (something that’s thoughtful and fun)
- Date night ideas (that can be completed during their second year of marriage)
- Memories (e.g. your memory of that day when the bride and groom met for the first time)
How To Play:
Have a special box set up at the celebration, waiting for guests to fill it with their goodies.
At the end of the shower, seal the box and keep it hidden for the next year. When the happy couple's first anniversary rolls around, gift them the time capsule along with a bottle of their favourite wine, cheese, biscuits and choccies (date night ready!).
A thoughtful present at the time that will become a treasured keepsake for the rest of their lives together.

Unique Bridal Shower Games
BRIDAL EMOJI GAME
A fun twist on the Bridal Drawing game; where instead of sketches it's emoji's telling the story.
Preparation:
Come up with approximately 10 different words or phrases that can be broken down into emjoi form (e.g. bridal shower could become an emoji of a bride next to an emoji of rain). Create a playing card that has each of your words or phrases in emjoi form only and print them off.

How To Play:
At the party, hand one playing card to each guest/team, and ask that they try to decipher what the emojis are saying. The person/team with the most correct answers wins.
CAPTURE THIS
A great icebreaker game that will result in lots of fun photo memories!
Preparation:
Come up with a list of categories. Some examples include ‘The first time I saw you’, ‘Our first date’, and ‘The proposal’.
How To Play:
Break guests up into small teams. Assign each team one of the categories from your list.
On ‘Go!’, teams have 2 minutes to create a photo or selfie that relates to the category they were given. Using ‘The proposal’ as an example, my team could have one member proposing to another, whilst the remaining team members stand around clapping. When time’s up, teams get another 30 seconds to go through the pictures they took and pick a fave; which is then presented to the bride.
Once your bride-to-be has received one photo from each team, she picks a winning image (i.e. her favourite photo). That team receives one point (or, if you’re only playing one round, is crowned the overall winners!).

TRIVIA
There’s nothing more unique or personalised than a trivia game dedicated to the beautiful couple!
Preparation:
To organise, ask your bestie and her partner to give you some fun, cute and sweet details about their relationship. This could be anything from the date they became 'official', their favourite holiday destination and what they think will create a good marriage to their favourite wedding traditions.
Turn these bits of information into questions and then section them into rounds (e.g. when they first met, wedding bells, etc.).
How To Play:
When it's game time, separate guests into teams and, one-by-one, make your way through the questions; awarding one point per right answer. Play a couple of mini games between rounds (such as 'corners') and award extra points to the winners. The team with the most points at the end of the game

FORBIDDEN WORDS
Are you ready for conversations to become quite the competition? A classic game that's both easy to organise and play; 'Forbidden Words' will get all of the bride's friends and family members mingling from the get go!
Preparation:
Pick a few words that guests won’t be able to say for the duration of the bridal shower. When coming up with your list, make sure you pick words that have a high chance of coming up in conversation (for example, the groom’s name, the word ‘wedding’, popular catch phrases amongst your group, etc.).
How To Play:
At the Bridal Shower, hand each guest a fun prop (this could be anything from a ribbon tied around their wrist like a bracelet, to funny dress up props you’ve scored from the local op shop!). Let guests know that whilst they are encouraged to mingle and chat, there are a few cheeky words that cannot be mentioned. And every time one of these banned words happens to be used, that particular guest must pay the price!
Now, the price isn’t a bad one. It’s simply giving the ribbon (or costume prop) to the guest who caught them out. The guest who has the most ribbons (or who is the most decked out in costume) by the end of the party wins a prize!

DIY GOWNS
Because who doesn’t love wearing a wedding dress... even if it is made out of toilet paper? Right?!
How To Play:
Split guests into teams (each with at least 3 members). On ‘Go!’, teams come up with their own designer wedding dress using rolls of toilet paper ONLY! This is achieved by dressing one member (i.e. the model) with toilet paper – wrapping it, throwing it, twisting it, etc. until it resembles something of a wedding dress. With 10 minutes on the clock, this isn’t as easy as it sounds.
Once the time is up, the models from each team can then put on a hilarious catwalk event – strutting their stuff (and their outfits) to fun music tracks such as ‘I’m Too Sexy’ by Right Said Fred. As they glide past, guests can ‘ooh’ and ‘ahh’ at the craftsmanship and imagination behind each design.
When every model has shown off her new outfit, the judge picks best dress, awarding the team with some fun prizes.

FUN ADDITION TO THIS 'DIY GOWNS' GAME:
Have a ‘speaker’ from each team describe their creation as their model walks down the catwalk. Hearing the hilarious description whilst their model attempts to move in a toilet paper getup just makes this game even more memorable!
FIND THE GUEST
A great ice-breaker game for the start of your bridal shower – ‘Find the Guest’ will have everyone mingling in no time!
Preparation:
Start by putting together a page that lists at least 10 different statements, along with writing space. Click here to view example game cards for inspiration. Print enough of these beauties off as there are guests attending your party.
How To Play:
Explain that each game card contains written statements, and these statements match at least one party-goer in the room. It is therefore every individual's mission to link the right statement to the right guest. The twist? You can only use each person's name once.
The first person to match all of the statements correctly will be your winner.
Alternative:
Play 'mingle bingo' instead by placing the statements into a bingo card (as pictured below)!

HOW WELL DO YOU KNOW THE BRIDE?
A game where fun facts about the bride-to-be are revealed to the group. Some may be known, some may come as a surprise – either way, it’s a great ice-breaker that gets guests mingling and sharing!
Preparation:
First of all, you will need to have a chat with the bride-to-be. Find out some fun facts she’s comfortable sharing (these could be anything from weird little habits she has all the way through to moments in her relationship). Some examples include, ‘what is [bride] most afraid of?’, ‘how old was [bride] when she first met [groom]?’ and ‘what is [bride’s] weirdest habit?’. Type up and print off these questions and answers ready for the big day.
How To Play:
Ask guests to get into teams (if you’re using this as an ice-breaker game, maybe help with the team selection so that guests are definitely placed with people they don’t know). Hand each team a piece of paper and a pen/pencil.
To start the game, read the first question aloud to the room; giving guests enough time to talk through different answers before settling on one and writing it down. Continue doing this until you have read each and every question on your sheet.
Now, have the bride-to-be go through each question and give the real answer. She could even tell the funny story that goes alongside it.

WHAT AGE WAS THE BRIDE?
An oldie but a goodie! This game provides guests and hen alike with a sweet walk down memory lane. Amongst other things, prepare for lots of cooing at old baby photos and giggles at awkward high school images!
Preparation:
Print off at least 5 fun photos of your bride-to-be from different points in her life. This could include the baby stage, kinder, primary school, high school, and now. Alternatively, you may choose to go with just one phase of her life (e.g. focus on her childhood) or go a bit rogue and concentrate on the different milestones in her and her groom’s relationship instead.
Once you’ve made your selection, record how old she is in each photograph (and keep this info somewhere safe – this is for your eyes only!).
How To Play:
Display your selection of photos by bluetacking them to a wall, creating a collage, pinning them to a pinboard, or even pegging them to bunting/twine (using those cute miniature wooden pegs). Make sure each image is labelled with a number (e.g. if you have 5 images, label them 1 through to 5).
Leave some pens/pencils and paper (or game cards) nearby so that guests can have a crack at guessing the bride’s age at the time of each photo. They do this by writing down the image number (e.g. image 4) and their guess (5 years old). The person who gets the most right wins!

WOULD SHE RATHER
Break the ice whilst learning some new facts about the bride-to-be!
Preparation:
First of all, you will need to create some 'Would She Rather' playing cards. To do this, put together a list of questions (these can be about sport, food, holidays, drinks, etc.), type them up and print them off.
Some examples to get your started include: Would she rather tea or coffee? Summer or winter? Making a phone call or sending a text? Driving the car or being the passenger?
You can find more question inspiration by clicking here.
How To Play:
Each guest or team fills out their game card by circling the option they think the bride-to-be would prefer. For example, If she'd rather tea over coffee, you would circle tea.
The team or person with the most correct answers (according to the hen herself) wins a small prize!

WHAT ARE BRIDAL SHOWER GAMES?
Put simply, they are games that you play at a bridal shower. These games range from those that are typically only seen at bridal celebrations (such as the options mentioned above), through to everyday games that your bride-to-be loves playing (there's no reason you can't whip out her most loved game of all time - twister, for example - for her special day!).

HOW MANY BRIDAL SHOWER GAMES SHOULD WE PLAY?
As a rule of thumb, we like to stick to one or two organised games (i.e. bridal shower games that require the guests to participate as a group); plus a couple of 'optional games' (i.e. games that can be set up on a table, such as 'advice for the bride' cards, and guests can participate if and when they please).
You don't want to go overboard in the game department as it may feel excessive, meaning enjoyment levels won't be as high. That being said, it can be a great idea to have a few alternative games up your sleeve just in case they're needed. You never know, those guests of yours may be screaming for more - and having a couple of extra options organised means you can deliver without any added stress!
