Organizing Trivia Games for Bridal Showers / Bachelorette Parties

It is likely that the guests at your party – be it crazy or low-key – will not all be acquainted with each other, or at least not well.One thing that all the guests at your event will have in common is that they know the bride and/or groom – so trivia games about the couple should be fun for all.This article has ideas to help you prepare everything, from organizing the games, the kind of questions you can ask, and what you can give as prizes.

What Do You Know About the Bride/Couple

Write a quiz – either multiple choice or short answer – to hand out to guests as they walk in the door.You can ask questions about the bride (Where did Anne grow up? What is Annes favorite movie?Who was Anne’s first kiss?), or about the the bride and her fiancee (How were Anne and James introduced?What embarrassing situation occurred on their first date? ).One way to find the winner is by simply collecting the quizzes after everyone has finished, or (which is likely to be more fun), give everyone someone else’s quiz to “grade” and see who won.

How Well Do You Know Your Fiancee

Another option is to prepare a list of questions and put them to the groom before the party, being sure to ask questions that the bride should be able to know or guess at.At some point during the party, put the bride in a prominent place and have her answer the same questions; you then tell everyone what the fiancee answered and compare.This is a fun opportunity for the bride to hear things she may not know, and to let her entertain her guests with stories that further explain her (and his!) answers to the questions.What is James’s favorite childhood memory?What did James first notice about you?

What Questions Should I Ask

Don’t forget about the party’s tone and your guests.A bachelorette party is simply not the same as a bridal shower.Try to save the “frisky” or more personal questions for events where most of the guests are quite close to the bride.A question is probably too extreme if it’s something you would feel uncomfortable having your own mother-in-law knowing about – try not to put your friend in that position.The idea is to create an environment where everyone feels interested in the topics, but not uncomfortable with the amount of disclosure.

Come up with some prize ideas

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.On the other hand, if the party is more on the provocative side, your prizes can match – perhaps thongs or massage oil.

It only takes a little planning and some creativity to create a fun time for both the bride and her guests, and for you to save money in the process.
