All of these cute bridal shower games have to do with the garden. Use these games in keeping with your garden party theme, where happiness is definitely in bloom!

Whiff of Herbs

Materials

12 paper cups
12 different fresh herbs
Aluminum foil
Paper and pens
Magic marker

How To Play

• Put the twelve different herbs into twelve paper cups. Cover each cup with aluminum foil and poke a hole in the top. With a magic marker, number each cup 1-12.
• Hand out a piece of paper and pen to each guest. Ask them to number their papers from 1-12, then pass around the cups of herbs.
• Have each guest sniff the hole in the cup, then write down what herb they think is in the cup next to the corresponding number on their paper.
• Tally up the correct answers. The guest with the most correct guesses wins!

Hand Over Your Corsage!

Materials

One corsage for each guest

How To Play

• When each guest arrives, pin on them a flower corsage.
• Instruct each guest that no one is allowed for the duration of the shower to say the word "wedding". Anyone catching someone using the forbidden word gets to take their corsage and pin it on themselves.
• The guest wearing the most corsages at the end of the shower wins a prize.

Tossing Bouquets

Materials

1 paper plate for each guest
Materials to make a "bouquet" for the bride- construction and tissue paper, pipe cleaners, ribbons, etc. Glue

How To Play

• Everyone is going to make a "tossing bouquet" for the bride. Give each guest a paper plate, and make sure everyone has access to the decorations and the glue.
• Give everyone only two minutes to glue anything they want onto the plate for the "perfect" bouquet.
• Let the bride decide which bouquet is the "best" after two minutes (not very much time at all). Have the bride toss the fake bouquet like she will do at her wedding.
• The guest who catches the bouquet, according to superstition, is the next in line to wed.
• Both guests - the best bouquet and the catcher - win a prize.
