baby shower guest sign-in idea

Instead of a sign in book that will sit on a shelf, why not remember the day another way? Put out a baby sized t-shirt or onesie and fabric markers and let your family and friends add messages, thoughts etc. People love to see the little one wearing it after they are born. Such a special keepsake!

The opening game should be a well known game (a party icebreaker) set a fun mood and guide the way for a great shower party.
I believe that instead of looking for original, unknown party icebreakers it is better to use a well known activity so there's no need for any complicated instructions.

Bridal shower bingo is a great bridal shower activity; everyone knows how to play bingo, all you need to do is customize the bingo game by using words, questions and funny facts about the bride and groom instead of the ordinary numbers. This will set the guests into the party mode and will open the door for the following activities. One of the best bingo card makers around now days are The Bingo Maker (can be found at http://www.thebingomaker.com ). The Bingo Maker allows full bingo customization including pictures and backgrounds. The Bingo Maker contains various templates for bridal shower bingo games that will give you a quick head start.

Bridal Mix CD -while planning the shower ask each one of the guest to send you the name of a song that is memorable for her and the bride and combine all the songs into a mix CD. The bride needs to match the song to a friend and tell the story behind it; everyone will have fun hearing of funny stories involving the bride, and at the end the bride will have a great CD gift to take with her.

A similar game is the memory object game, in this game each friend is asked to bring an object that is part of a memory with the bride, the bride should go over the objects and match the person to the object and tell the full detailed story.

An additional great game is a bride and groom trivia game; think of 20 questions about the bride and groom, before the bridal shower ask the groom for his answers, I recommend filming him and previewing his answer after the bride gives her answer in the bridal shower.
Don't by shy and try to think of questions that are not obvious, this will definitely spice up the party :)
Hope this helped....

Bachelorette Party Photo Scavenger Hunt

This bachelorette scavenger hunt incorporates all the fun of a traditional scavenger hunt with the added excitement of a photo scavenger hunt. A great activity for a girl's night out on the town before the big day!

This downloadable document has all you need for a memorable night out. One professionally designed sheet is easy to carry with you and contains a list of bachelorette scavenger hunt items to collect and also a list of photo challenges. This bachelorette scavenger hunt is designed so that everyone in the party can participate together. The goal is to complete the tasks as a group before the end of the night. This activity works best if your party is going out for a "night on the town" as some of the items will require you to "recruit" the help of strangers. Your group gets to use their imagination on this hunt, so you can make it as wild or as tame as you like.

Fairytale Bridal Shower Games

Bridal shower games are a huge part of the fun! Be sure to stock up on lots of great prizes, such as bottles of wine, lip glosses and other favorites. Here, a few creative games to play.Name That Fairytale Couple

Zunker Bridal Shower Game

The Wedding Showers, Bridal Showers, Jack and Jill, Engagement, and Bachelorette Party games are becoming old and stale.

A gift exchange is a great way to bring people together and break the ice. This allows everyone at the event a chance to get to know one antoher; talk, share, and tell childhood stories. The hostess can now bring pizzazz to the event. This does not have to be your Grandmother's tea party! Someone always gets a hilarious gag gift that has people laughing and reminiscing.

Bridal Shower Activities

Where did we get the idea that sitting in a circle and opening hand towels or scandalous underthings was the best way for a woman to spend some quality time with female friends and family before her wedding? Somehow a bridal shower focused on kitchenware and awkward games seems to fall short of adequately preparing a bride-to-be for the significant transition involved in getting married.

Looking for a more meaningful way to usher yourself " or your friend " into marriage? Here are some bridal shower ideas and rituals that will help the bride come away from her shower feeling nourished and connected with herself and her friends.
