Craft Nite Bridal Shower Games
Okay, this isn't really a game, but more of an activity. Instead of playing pin-the-tux-on-the-groom, ask your guests to help out in making the bride's wedding favors in a craft nite of fun!

How To Plan for a Bridal Shower Craft Night
This bridal shower idea works best at an at-home shower.
- First, find out the kind of favors the bride wants to make. You may want to go shopping with her, so you can help her pick out what she wants. You and some friends also may want to offer to pay for the favor supplies in lieu of a gift - especially if she's paying for the wedding herself, this offer might be much appreciated.
- Too many cooks in the kitchen? Making favors isn't the greatest idea if you're planning on inviting 100 people to the shower. For the favors to get made to the bride's specifications, keeping the guest list under 25 is probably a good idea.
- Make sure to explain (explicitly) what the itenerary of the shower will be in the invitation. Guests need to know if they should dress down (if you're going to be painting or cooking) or bring items from their home. If you are going to need extra items like glue guns or scissors, include your request in the invitation.
- Set up "crafting stations" around the room. Get there early. Help the bride set up crafting stations. If you're placing candy in cello bags tied with ribbon, have one station of bolts of ribbon and scissors, have one station of bags and chocolates... you get the idea.
- Set a time limit. No matter how helpful your friends and family might be, no one wants to spend the whole party working. If, after an hour or hour and a half, the favors aren't finished, maybe you could help the bride finish them at another time. Then be sure to spend the remaining time focusing on the bride.
