Trivia Games: Save Money and Have Fun at Your Bachelorette Party or Bridal Shower
Whether your party has a risqué tone to it, or is more on the dignified side, you need to keep in mind that not all your guests will know each other.You can help your guests get to know each other and feel more relaxed by playing trivia games based on the bride, or on the couple, since that is the one thing they will all likely have in common.Read on to get ideas on organizing the games, the types of questions that you can include, and items you can give as prizes.
What Do You Know About the Bride/Couple
Most of the time, not all your guests will arrive at the same time – so create a simple-to-answer quiz (either short-answer or multiple-choice) that you can hand to each invitee as they walk in.You can ask questions about the bride (Where did Anne grow up?What is Anne’s favorite animal for a pet? How old was Anne when she got her first kiss?), or about the couple (Where did Anne and James meet? What did James say at the end of their first date? ).You can figure out who won by looking at everyone’s quizzes yourself, or (this option is probably more entertaining), let everyone “grade” someone else’s questions and then announce how many they got right.
A Match Made in Heaven
Another option is to meet with the groom previous to the event and ask him questions the bride should know the answer to. During the party, have the bride sit in a chair in the middle of the room and ask her the same questions, announcing to everyone the answers that her fiancée provided.Often the bride will get to hear some surprising compliments, and the guests may get to hear anecdotes, especially if the questions are a bit scandalous or if she disagrees with her fiancée.Who did James go backpacking in Europe with?What does James most admire about you?
How to Choose Your Questions
Your invitees and the tone of the event itself should be foremost in your mind. A bridal shower brunch is not the same as a bachelorette margarita-fest. Save the risqué (overly sexual or personal) questions for the bride’s more intimate friends.If the answer to any given question would make you blush around your boyfriend or husband’s grandmother, then don’t make your friend suffer that embarrassment.Try to find questions that are neither boring nor too scandalous – that way, everyone will have a good time. There are many things you could try for your shower and they might include baby shower decoration ideas, baby shower sayings for cake or baby shower games.
Prizes Are Cool
Remember, the theme of your party and the preferences of your guests should be considered when choosing prizes.Any of these options can be purchased without breaking your budget.If your party is more on the “calm” side, your prizes should be romantic without being vulgar – a shimmery body cream or a pair of pretty briefs. In the case of livelier parties, the options are limited only to your knowledge of the guests’ tastes, but could include a pair of lacy underwear or sexy black nail polish.
Playing trivia games is a guaranteed way to ensure that both the bride and her guests will have as much fun as possible – without you having to break the bank.
