Co-ed Bridal Shower Games

While bridal showers were traditionally only for female friends of the bride, these days co-ed bridal showers or rather co-ed showers have become popular too. Instead of a bridal shower and a bachelor party, couples are often opting to go for a joint party thrown by both their friends.

Here are some great co-ed bridal shower games to get the party going!

Co-ed Bridal Shower Game #1: Find Your Groom
Get all the guys at the party to roll up their pant legs till their knees. Blindfold the bride and let her feel the knees. The game is for the bride to guess which one is her groom!

You need to ensure that the bridal couple would be absolutely ok with the game. You don?t want to be the cause of any misconceptions occurring later and god forbid! The wedding being called off!

If necessary, run the game by the bride and groom and get their ok before you play it. Might even give them an excuse to practice.

Co-ed Bridal Shower Game #2: Guide The Groom? err Broom!
Get a roll of toilet paper and a broom with a long narrow handle that would fit inside the hole of the toilet paper. Pair up the guys and gals at the bridal shower to form couples. Or if it?s a large party just get the bride and the groom to play this one.

Blindfold the groom and ask him to hold the broom between his knees. Let the bride hold the toilet paper roll between hers. The groom needs to guide the broom into the hole of the toilet paper? with the verbal help of the bride of course ? no touching allowed. The analogy of a wedding night in progress will have everyone in splits!

Co-ed Bridal Shower Game #3: Cinderella Bride
Pair all the people at the bridal shower so you have couples. Get all the women to give one of their shoes and take off the other one as well. Put one shoe from each pair in the center of the room. When the whistle blows, the men need to pick up the shoe that they think fits their partner and put it on her foot.

Most men don?t know which shoe is their wife?s. That creates for plenty of confusion and ruffled feathers! Even guys who do know their wife?s shoe find it difficult to pick the right one from amongst so many. And further yet, guys who pick shoes randomly cause problems for the rare, really observant man. Great fun to be had all round.
