From wistful to downright wacky, 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.

Kiss and Tell

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).

The History Quiz

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.

Surprise Guest

This was sent to us from Bonnie in Holland, Michigan

Object: Shock and surprise the bride-to-be with a strange guest that she's never seen before.

Play: "The first thing the hostess needs to do is find a person that nobody, including the bride-to-be, knows. Let 2 or 3 other guests in on it, as they have to direct the person what to do, where to sit, etc. This stranger has to pretend she is at the 'wrong' shower!!

"You give the surprise guest a fake invitation - I used a baby shower invitation, and put the same time as our shower, but used a different address - usually a block away or down the street. Ask your surprise guest to show up a little late. Here is the best part. It is hilarious!!
