Bridal Bingo: Fill out bingo cards with things the bride likes. They can be places she has visited or her favorite color. Like traditional bingo, each card should be slightly different but have some squares in common with each of the others. Next, write down each item on a separate slip of paper. Bridal Bingo is a great game to break the ice. It doesn’t take a long time to set up – thanks to our handy printable cards – and takes very little thought to play. As long as you get the questions right, your whole party will have a great time with this game. Using inside jokes and making the questions about your guests makes it personal. At the beginning of the bridal shower, distribute bingo cards and pens to each guest. Instruct guests to completely fill in each box of their card with potential bridal shower gifts the bride may receive. Even if guests share or overhear ideas, each card will differ and vary based on the placement of the gifts on the bingo card.

Watching the bride open her gifts is even more fun with this simple shower game. Here are the rules.

Before the Shower:
Create blank Bingo cards - five columns and five rows - with the word “Bride” written at the top instead of “Bingo.” Before the bride-to-be opens her gifts, give each guest a card and ask them to fill in their squares with items they think she might receive. They can use the registry as a guide or guess off-registry items. Have them write their own gift in the center space in lieu of a “free space.”

Bridal Bingo Questions

As the bride opens her gifts, guests can cross off any boxes containing items they guessed correctly. As with traditional Bingo, the first to cross off a full row, column, or diagonal of boxes is the winner!
