Savory: What joke, spoof, or act employed by your spouse-to-be will likely make you laugh for decades to come? Instead of an album-style guest book, have a custom puzzle made with the names of the bride and groom ours is by Bella Puzzles. Place the pieces in a glass bowl at the shower, along with a sign asking attendees to autograph the unfinished backs.
Keep any children at the party busy assembling the pieces while the bride-to-be opens her gifts. When the celebration is over, she can have fun reading the good wishes. Find a local class to take this one took place at Roxie Daisy , or hire a jewelry designer to tutor everyone in creating custom accessories. Set out beads in the wedding colors and jewelry-making supplies. With the designer's guidance, guests can make a bracelet, necklace, or earrings—perhaps even to wear to the wedding.
Have guests sit in a circle, and pass out pen and paper. Ask each person to think of three facts or anecdotes that describe her relationship with the bride or groom—two true and one false.
Have each guest tell her stories with a straight face! The guest who identifies the most tall tales wins. Ask attendees to bring a few photos of themselves and the lady of the hour. Hand out pens and paper and, at the shower, have them write captions for the pics. Place the snapshots in an album, and affix the captions underneath. Pass the album around for all to look at, and then give it to the bride as a keepsake. This idea is especially fitting if you're having a culinary- or kitchen-themed shower.
Hire a professional chef to give celebrants a simple cooking lesson based on the bride-to-be's favorite foods. Afterward, everyone gets to sit down and enjoy the wonderful meal they helped prepare. Why not ask shower guests to pitch in on wedding song ideas? This could be set up as a little pen and notecard station, where guests can drop their ideas in a big bowl for the bride to review later or for the celebrants to listen to at the event.

Choosing how many games to play at a bridal shower will depend on many things including how long the shower will last, the location, the number of guests and the personality of the bride and the rest of the group.
Typically, you should plan on one game per hour. Most bridal showers last between hours so games would be considered normal. If you are going to offer prizes for the game winners, try to make it something that your friends and family will actually use. You might want to consider having a cool prize for 1st place, and then smaller prizes for 2nd and 3rd place.
