How Well Do You
Really Know Your Fiancé?

The hostess of the party creates a listing of questions to present to the groom. He answers them all in writing before the party. That same list without the answers is presented to all the guests as well as the bride to guess at the party. Whoever gets the most right wins. It's fun to see just how many the bride does NOT know!

 

Silly Rings

Buy a bunch of silly rings before the party. (found in the kid's party good section, party/decorating type stores, carnival goods, dollar stores, gum machines, etc). Before the party, put all the rings in a big bowl. As the guests arrive, have them choose a ring and put it on. Tell them that the bride and groom may not be called by their names during the party, as they will be referred to "bride" or "groom". If someone catches another guest calling them by their name, they get to choose one ring from the person's hand. At the end of the party, she who has the most rings wins!

 

Sound Advice

Have the guests write down on a piece of paper, or cut out construction paper hearts what advice they would most like to give the bride. Perhaps it might be "Never go to bed mad" or "Don't assume he to changed the oil in your car". Have the bride read them all off at the party. It's a great keepsake for the bride as well!

 

Oh, This Is So Nice!

Before the party, create a story of the honeymoon. Leave blanks on where the bride and groom may have exclamations. While the bride is opening her gifts, descreetly give one of the guests the job of writing down what people are saying about the gifts. "Oh, this is so big", "I need one of these!", "What a pretty color", etc. After the gift giving, take those exclamations and fill them into the story that was pre-written, then read it outloud to the bride and guests.

 

Not The Typical Memory Game

Announce to the guests that you will be having a memory game. Have a guest walk a tray of items around very slowly to each person. When they are done, tell them that within ?? minutes they have to write down everything they can remember about...what the person holding the tray was wearing. Have the person stay around the corner until the time is up.

 

What Do You Carry?

Before the party, the hostess makes a list of typical purse contents. (lipstick, family photos, nail clippers, aspirin, etc) Each item has one point assigned, or a different point value, the choice is yours. Read off the list, each person gets those points for each item they carry. The person with the most points at the end wins.

 

How Well Do You
Really Know The Bride?

Have questions pre-printed on paper that are passed out at the party. (What is your favorite color, What will the bride name her first child, where did she meet the groom, favorite sport, what sock does she put on first, etc) Everyone answers them, including the bride. Set a time limit for answering, when time is up, read off the bride's answers. The person who gets the most correct wins the game.

 

Wait...I Know That One!

Put different herbs in individual cups, styrofoam works best because it is opaque, place tin foil over the top with a hole poked in the middle. Write a number on the side of the glass with a marking pen. One by one, pass the cups around, the guests write the number with the herb they guess on a piece of paper. The most guessed is the winner.
