Celebrating the bride-to-be with a bridal shower is a time-honored tradition.
If you are looking for easy bridal shower games to play at the shower you are throwing you are going to love this bridal bingo post.
Over the years I’ve had the privilege of throwing several bridal showers. Each of which was different depending on the bride’s wishes.
However, I will say that at every bridal shower, playing bridal bingo always seems to be a success.
If you are throwing a bridal shower we recommend you add it to your list of games to play.
Bridal Bingo is easy to play, guests get to use their creativity, and you’re sure to get a lot of laughs.
We’ve included a super cute bridal bingo printable in this post that you can download for free, print, and use at the bridal shower you are throwing.
IN THIS POST:
Playing bridal bingo is really quite simple.
To play this bridal shower game you will need the following:
You will start by passing out a Bridal Bingo card to every guest.
Do this before the bride opens her gifts.
Each guest fills in their own Bridal Bingo card by guessing what gifts the bride will receive. In every square on the card, guests will write in a different gift that the bride might get.
A great way to incorporate Bridal Bingo is by passing out the Bridal Bingo cards to each guest as they arrive at the shower. This will give your guests something to chat about with one another and time to consider what gifts the bride might receive.
All the Bridal Bingo cards should be filled out before the bride opens her bridal shower gifts.
As the bride opens each of her gifts, guests mark off squares on their Bridal Bingo card whenever they get a gift correct. The first guest to get 5 in a row wins Bridal Bingo!
Playing games at a bridal shower is part of the bridal shower tradition.
That being said, it’s good to consider how many games you should play.
You don’t want to play so many games that guests don’t get to hang out and mingle, but you also want to have a little entertainment and create some healthy camaraderie.
Games work as great icebreakers and help guests to connect and learn more about the happy couple.
A good rule of thumb is to play 1 to 2 bridal shower games per hour of the shower.
Keep in mind that each bridal shower game should take no more than 10 minutes to complete. These games are meant to be short and sweet.
It’s helpful to have more games prepared than you actually end up playing.
At a bridal shower, you are gathering several people of all different ages who don’t always know each other.
So having additional games on hand helps to ensure that guests will be able to connect and get to know one another. We find it is better to have more than enough than not enough. 😉
This bridal bingo card consists of 25 blank squares. The middle square is marked free.
Each of our bridal shower games are formatted to fit 2 playing cards onto one 8 1/2 x 11 paper with easy-to-follow cutting guidelines.
Guests fill in each blank square with a gift they think the bride will receive.
As the bride opens her gifts, guests will mark off each square that they filled in correctly.
The first guest to get to 5 in a row shouts BINGO and wins the game!
There are so many great bridal shower game options to choose from.
Depending on the bride and the theme of the shower different games may be appropriate.
Each Guess Who Bride Or Groom playing card comes with a variety of questions on it and guests must guess who the question is referring to – the Bride or the Groom. The guest who gets the most questions correct wins the game.
This game is a great way to help guests learn more about the bride.
Questions include fun little tidbits that even her closest pals may be surprised to discover. The guest who gets the most correct answers wins.
Putting together a date night jar at a bridal shower is a fun bridal shower game.
You will have each guest fill out one date night idea on a small slip of paper or popsicle stick.
After they have written out their date night idea guests will then place the date idea in the date night jar.
At the end of the shower, you will give the bride-to-be the date night jar filled with date night ideas for her and her hubby-to-be to enjoy. For additional romantic date night ideas be sure to check out this post .
To play What’s On Your Phone guests are given a playing card with a variety of items that might be on their phone.
Each item on the list is worth a different amount of points. Guests look on their phones to see if they have the items on the list. The guest who gets the most amount of points wins this game!

To play Would She Rather guests are each given a playing card with several this or that questions about the bride. Guests must guess what the bride would rather. The guest who gets the most correct answers wins.
Playing What’s In Your Purse is always a lot of fun.
It can be shocking to see all that some of us carry around in our handbags all the time! Guests are each given a What’s In Your Purse playing card.
This playing card has a variety of items on it that are each worth a different amount of points. Guests must search in their purses to see which of the items on the list they have. The guest who gets the most amount of points wins!
Advice For The Bride Cards are a great addition to any bridal shower. They give the guests opportunities to share their advice with the bride.
These cards work as a sweet keepsake item that the bride can look back at for years to come.
For every bridal shower game that you play, you will want to be sure to have a prize.
How much you choose to spend on bridal shower prizes really comes down to your budget for the shower. We have found it best to select bridal shower prizes that are $20 or less.
Choose bridal shower prizes that are sweet and generic enough that anyone at the shower would be happy to win.
A few of our favorite bridal shower prizes are this Bath Bomb Gift Set , Starbucks Gift Cards, or this Journal And Pen Set .
When picking out prizes for the bridal shower try to come up with something that your bestie would like but that your Mom would also enjoy.
