The tradition of bridal showers started when the womenfolk in the village or town got together with gifts and advice for the bride to be so that she could start her new married life with things to call her own. So why not combine all the fun of bridal shower games with some tradition and make gifts for the bride in the process!
Bridal Shower Game Gift #1: Recipe Cards Along with the invitations to the bridal shower, send in blank recipe cards as well. Ask each guest to write her favorite recipe and bring it to the shower. Collect the recipes when each guest arrive, tie them with a beautiful ribbon and put them in a keepsake box. When the gifts are being opened, present the bride with the box of recipes. She will be thrilled with your thoughtfulness.
Bridal Shower Game Gift #2: Showered With Wishes Get a light colored shower curtain and a black marker. When each guest arrives ask her to write a piece of advice for the bride on the outside of the shower curtain. Gift this to the bride to use after she is married. She will be reminded of the lovely bridal shower every morning!
Bridal Shower Game Gift #3: Memories
Ask each guest to carry along a picture of herself with the bride. Get an empty scrapbook and decorate the cover so that it reads something like ?Bride?s Name & Friends Forever?, or ?With Love To Bride?s Name?. When each guest comes, ask her to stick the photo in the scrapbook and write some fond memories that she has of times shared with the bride. It makes a beautiful keepsake scrapbook for the bride.
If possible, try to arrange for a Polaroid camera so that guests who show up without a photo, or don?t have one with the bride can have one taken instantly. That way no one will feel left out.
