Couple's Bridal Shower Games

If you're having a male-and-female wedding shower, play some games that provide a ton of laughs for all,while still honoring the bride and groom.

Object: Get the bride or the groom to guess which kiss they have received is from their beloved.
Play: Choose either the bride or the groom to take their turn first. Let's say it's the bride. Number off all the males in the room. Blindfold the bride and have each male in the room approach her, say their number, and give her a kiss on the cheek. The bride then guesses which kiss was from her future husband. (It's a little harder than you think!) Then turn around, and do the same with the groom and all the females. Prizes are awarded to the players the bride and groom suspect to be their honey (whether they're correct or not).

Object: Guests must answer questions about the past lives of the bride and groom correctly to win a prize.
Play: This game-show format takes a little bit of preparation. Before the shower, ask the bride and groom to name some important events and the years in which they occurred. For example: in what year did the bride first kiss a boy? Or, when did the groom go on his first date? The bride and groom will then give the correct years in which these events took place. At the shower, pick one guest to be the emcee of the game show, and have him/her ask different guests the questions about the bride and groom, and then give them three different years in which they could have occurred (a lot like the Dateline timeline game) for them to guess. The guests then have to choose which year they think this event occurred. The bride and groom give the correct answer. Every guest who chooses the correct year gets a prize. This also works well with songs,movies or other media events that are memorable.

Object: The person who licks the most powdered sugar from dangling donut wins a prize.
Play: String one donut for each participant on a clothesline. Hold it in place with a clothespin on each side of the doughnut. Have each guest stand in front of a donut with their hands behind their back. Instruct them that they have one minute to lick as much powder off the donut without it crumbling. Guest who has licked off the most powder without donut breaking and hands remaining behind their back at the end of one minute wins a prize.

Object: The guests who really listen to your clever directions win a prize.
Play: Place all the guests in a circle. Have them place the paper bags over their heads. Instruct them to remove everything they're wearing that is not absolutely neccessary. The person with the most items off in two mintues win the prize. Hilarity ensues when guests begin to remove all kinds of clothing items without realizing you can remove the paper bag, too. All guests that figure this one out before the end of two minutes win a prize.

Object: Retrieve a heart shaped candy from an ice cube, and win a prize.
Play: Prepare ice cubes by placing a heart-shaped candy in each cube before they freeze. Drop each ice cube into a dixie cup and distribute to guests. Instruct them that, without touching the ice cube itself, they can use any body part to warm the cup to try and melt the ice. The first person to melt their ice cube enough to retrieve their candy wins the game. The laughs intensify as guests use various body parts to try to get their ice to melt. Game can run simultaneously while food is being served, etc.

Object:: There are no prizes involved in this game, but it's a great ice breaker, and a good way to keep guests mingling throughout the party.
Play: Before the shower, write the names of famous people on separate pieces of paper. As each guest arrives, pin or tape a name on her back. Instruct guests to figure out their secret identity by asking other guests "yes" or "no" questions such as "am I a singer?" or "am I the host of a talk show?". As guests correctly determine their identity, they can come back to you for another piece of paper.
