When you host a bridal shower, there's a good chance you won't know all of the guests. They all know the bride from different points in her life, and they'll all have their stories to tell. A good way to get everyone talking is to play shower games. We like this one because it's not as cheesy as some of the standards and it's a good way for everyone to get to know the bride and each other a little better.

It follows the premise of the Newlywed Game, but with a few twists. The host asks each guest to come prepared with a list of questions about the bride that only someone who knows her well would be able to answer correctly. The questions are read at the shower and guests take guesses at the correct answer, with the bride judging whether the answers are right or not. (With this format, you don't even have to know the answers to your own questions, or the bride may disagree with what you thought the right answer would be.) Guests don't answer their own questions, and the one with the most correct answers at the end of the game is the winner.

Sample questions might be: Who was the bride's first kiss? How did the bride end up in the hospital when she was 14? How did the bride and groom meet? The more funny and embarrassing answers, the better. Have fun with it!
