The wedding shower might be the first time family and friends meet before the nuptials—and yes, a couple lulls in conversation are par for the course while people are getting to know each other. The key to fast-tracking a good time? Preparing some printable bridal shower games ahead of time (and yes, you can even get them for free). Wedding shower games can offer comic relief, give guests some common ground and inspire connections. Plus, with so many printable options to choose from, they're easy to plan—just download, print and play.
When choosing printable wedding shower games, consider the bridal shower theme and activities that the group might enjoy. Perhaps the bride is a huge Disney fan or the soonlyweds loves rom-coms—look for games that celebrate the guest of honor or happy couple. Do they have a good sense of humor? Feel free to choose something hilarious and (depending on your audience) maybe even a bit naughty. Before you know it, everyone will be giggling and letting loose.

Will it be a princess ball gown, a classic strapless sheath or a sleek, modern wedding pantsuit? It's up to your guests to guess (and draw) the style of the bride's chosen wedding outfit. The bride may or may not want to reveal the details of her final look, so you can have her privately choose the winner and hand out the bridal shower game prize at a later time.
Over or Under Wedding Shower Game

We love this printable bridal shower game because it helps you get to know the couple better. The concept is simple: Guests will guess if the numbers in the couple "facts" are over, under or correct. For example, did the couple really meet five years ago? The template is fully customizable, so you get to choose all the statements. We're also loving the gorgeous typography and boho floral design.

Can you imagine attending a bridal shower and not using the word "bride"? Yeah, neither can we. That's what makes this printable Etsy bridal shower game so darn hilarious. To play, each guest grabs a toy ring—but if they say the banned word, someone can snatch their bling. Whoever has the most rings at the end of the game wins. The sweet instruction sign can be printed and placed into a frame that matches your decor. One last thing: Don't forget to buy the toy rings.
Disney Love Songs Wedding Shower Game

Guests of all ages will enjoy this printable bridal shower game where they'll need to match the Disney movie with its famous love song. Of course this activity is ideal for the Disney-loving bride, but because it features movies that so many of us know, it can be perfect for any wedding shower.
Who Am I Bridal Shower Game

We love a good bridal shower prompt to get your guests thinking. This one involves sharing your favorite memory of the bride, which the bride will later read out loud and guess which guest wrote it. (It wouldn't hurt to triple emphasize to the group that their responses will be shared with everyone!) We expect that there will be lots of sentimental and funny memories to talk about. (And how cute is that retro design?)

For the ultimate excuse to take your phone out during the party, download and print a "What's on Your Phone?" game.
