WEDDING VOW 'FILL THE BLANKS' (QUICK OVERVIEW)

This hilarious game is sure to get EVERYONE laughing! To play, participants finish off pre-written 'vows' by filling in the missing adjectives, verbs and nouns. That is, the blank spaces are replaced with fun, funny and creative words; resulting in a completely unique (and funny) piece of writing! Through a mock wedding ceremony, these beauties are then shared with the entire group - giving everyone a cheeky insight into the bride and groom's love story! Want to mix things up a little? This can also become a pre-party game (played via RSVPs), may involve a surprise guest (the groom himself!), or could even be dedicated to another part of the bride's life (such as the Bachelorette party, honeymoon plans, or even the proposal story).

​How to Play the 'Write Her Vows' Game

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

PREPARATION:

​Before the party, find some pre-written wedding vows. Re-type them, but remove all of the adjectives, verbs and nouns. Your final design will include blank spaces; ready for guests to fill in their own words.

​Print off your playing cards ready for the celebration.

Note: if you don't have time to create the cards yourself, you can always purchase some done-for-you, instant download designs.

HANDY TIP:
​Want to add a little pizzazz to your game cards? We recommend printing onto thin white card stock or pretty paper. You can do this using your home printer, or by visiting your local print shop.

​​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 'Write Her Vows'

​
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 'fill the blanks' 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 game 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 'fill the blanks' 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 honor 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!
