We got you, bridesmaids!
We’re well into the wedding season, and it’s no easy task to keep up with all the events that come with it. From engagement parties to haldi, from sangeet to the big day itself, every day is packed with celebration and a whole lot of sweets. While the bride’s brother gets a lot of credit for working from am to pm, it is important to recognize the efforts of the bride’s sister and her best friends.
It is not easy to walk around with the bride in search of that perfect jewelry that would go well with the sangeet lehenga and carry all those heavy bags. And oh, the planning! It’s not easy to decide upon bridesmaids’ jewelry so that it aligns with the wedding but also makes the girls stand out and we understand. But that's just about the clothes.
It’s not easy to come up with a perfect bridal shower plan and we understand that as well. That is why, we’ve come up with eleven ideas for a fun bridal shower night. You can choose which ones you want to play but they’re all sure to be fun and you may end up with some brewing information, who knows?
Trivia Rounds
Create a quite about the bride and groom, with questions about where they met for the first time or what song summarises their relationship. By the end of it, everyone will know who knows the bride and groom the most.
Truth or Dare (Bridal Edition)
A fun way to engage everyone present, a bridal edition of the truth or dare is sure to leave everyone entertained.
Never have I ever
Get placards with the bride and groom’s name and give these placards to them. You can ask questions like “Never have I ever forgotten an important anniversary or date” and see who picks up who’s name.
Dance-off
What is a wedding without any dance performance? You can set up all the relatives known for their “dancing skills” and see who turns out victorious.
Looking for your own customized wedding song. We got you covered!
Guess the sweets
Fill a tray with different sweets, blindfold the guests and have them guess a sweet they’re holding in their hands. If they get it right, they get to taste it. Who wouldn’t do it for the possibility of getting to taste the laddoos and the kaju katlis.
Bollywood Buzz
You can get the guests to do hook steps of famous Bollywood songs and let the others guess what song the hook step is from. You can also play this in teams of two or more.
How well do you know the bride?
Get the guests to guess the bride’s favorite things- favorite flower, favorite vacation spot, favorite color, etc. The one who answers the most correctly wins!
Pass the Bouquet
Instead of the classical musical chairs, try passing the bouquet amongst the guests while music plays. Whoever ends with the bouquet has to answer a question related to the couple.
Bridal Bingo
Create bingo cards with funny wedding-related scenarios (such as “Bride’s sister running around, handling some task, etc). Hand out these bingo cards to the guests and ask them to cross it out as the night proceeds.
Celebrity Couple Match
Write the names of famous celebrity couples and pin them to the guests’ back and let the others help them understand who they are.
Complete the song
Set up your loudest speakers and let the guests complete the lyrics when the song stops.
You know the most fun moments are when you forget the most obvious lyrics, specially for those songs you may heard a 1000 times over. The messed up lyrics and the Indian Idol level singing skills of your guests are guaranteed to cheer up the function even louder.
