Here are a few games and activities to keep the party moving and give the guests and the bride-to-be some laughs.

Bride to Be Game

Call the groom and ask some personal questions, such as "What's your favorite dessert?" "Where did you go on your first date?" "What's your worst habit?" and "What do you sleep in?" At game time, let the guests take turns reading the questions to the bride and have her answer. If she gets the answer right, the guest asking the question wins a prize!

Dress the Bride

Gather the guests in a circle around the bride. Hand them each several sheets of colorful crepe or tissue paper, along with cellophane tape and scissors. The first player must use the supplies to begin a wedding dress-using the bride as the mannequin! The player can use the paper any way she likes, as long as it contributes toward the bride's "wedding dress." When she's finished, the next person adds her paper to the dress, and so on, until everyone has contributed to the dress. Don't forget to make a veil and a train! Stick the bows from her gifts on a paper plate to make a hat. Then have the bride model her ensemble for a good laugh. Take pictures of her to show to the groom.

The Bride's Bottomless Handbag

Have the group sit in a circle. Ask the bride to hold her purse in her lap. Guests take turns guessing what's inside the bride's purse. If they guess right, the bride must pull the item from the purse, then the player wins a prize. Continue going around the circle until everyone has had a turn guessing what's in the purse.

The Honeymoon Night

As the bride-to-be opens each of her gifts, quietly write down everything she says that could be take as a sexy comment on her wedding night, such as, "Wow, this is a big one!" "I've never seen one of these before!" and "I can't wait to try that!" After the gifts are all opened, announce to the group that the comments the bride made while opening her presents will be the same comments she'll make on her wedding night. Then read the comments for lots of laughs!
