9 Creative and Fun Ideas For Bridal Shower Games to Play

When it comes to bridal shower games, visions of "pin the tail on the groom" and "toilet paper wedding dress" usually come to mind (with a resounding groan!).

Relax, you´re not restricted to these traditional, albeit a tad cliché, bridal shower staples. There are tons of other shower games please all types of crowds – from the sentimental, to the slightly scandalous, to everything in between.

Here are nine categorized top picks for bridal shower games:

The Classics

1) What is the Bride Wearing?
The Gist: Memory/Observation Skills

How to Play: The bride discretely leaves the room about halfway into the shower (after everyone has had some time to visit with her). The host then asks each guest questions about the bride´s outfit: What fabric? High heels or flats? Hair up or down? Necklace or no necklace? Etc. Each guest with a perfect score wins a prize.

2) Bridal Bingo
The Gist: Duh, it´s bingo with wedding-related bingo cards

How to Play: This one´s pretty obvious. Create bingo cards, but replace the word BINGO with BRIDE along the top. Instead of numbers, list items related to weddings or to the bridal couple inside the squares (i.e. where the couple got engaged or the name of the wedding venue). Play the game like traditional bingo: the first guest to complete a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line wins a prize.

3) Spice of Life
The Gist: Tests culinary knowledge

How to Play: Gather a number of spices and place them in unmarked, numbered containers. Have each guest write down what she thinks each one is. The guest with the most correct answers wins the collection of spices.

Get Sentimental
4) Words of Wisdom
The Gist: Guests "shower" the bride with advice.

How to Play: Include blank cards in shower invitations and instruct guests to write a nugget of advice for a happy marriage on the card (you can also request a recipe, cooking tip, words of encouragement, etc.). Guests will take turns reading their advice aloud at the shower. The host will gather all the submissions into a scrapbook keepsake for the bride.

5) Memory Lane
The Gist: Reminisce shared memories and friendships.

How to Play: Include a blank card and a request to write down a favorite memory of the bride with the shower invitations. At the shower, each guest reads their memory aloud, and the bride must guess which guest wrote it. The host can then compile each story into a for the bride. At the end of the day, the bride has a pile of keepsakes representing her life´s milestone moments and the bonds she shares with each guest.

6) Poetry Reading
The Gist: Treat a bride with a literary passion to a feast of poetry

How to Play: Have all attendees bring a poem containing wisdom or sentiment about love or marriage, and take turns reading. The day will be intellectually enriching and inspiring.

Spice It Up
7) Wedding Night Preview
The Gist: Good for laughs with a racy undertone

How to Play: As the bride opens each gift, a guest will secretly write down everything she says (i.e. – "I´ve always needed one of those" or "What a beautiful piece!") After all the gifts are opened, that person will read back the bride´s comments as the words she´ll say on her wedding night.

8) Honeymoon Scavenger Hunt
The Gist: A sexy take on the traditional scavenger hunt

How to Play: Hide sexy items like lacy lingerie or fuzzy handcuffs throughout the party location (house, backyard, or wherever the party will be). Divide guests into teams and give them a list of items to find. The team that finds the most item wins.

9) Never Have I Never
The Gist: Skeletons in the closet

How to Play: Guests take turns completing the phrase "Never have I ever…" with a scandalous deed (i.e. "never have I ever kissed two boys in one night"). Anyone who has done it takes a drink, and if only one person drinks – that person has to cough up the details to the rest of the group.

Sapphire Earrings - A Portion of Sky

How about embellishing yourself with a portion of sky. If your answer is yes then sapphire earrings is something you are looking for. Whether it is concentrated and lush blue sapphire or innocent pink they do a lot to fill your face with a mystery of its own. Blue is the most known and celebrated color of this stone. But apart from blue it also comes in unconventional colors such as green, yellow, brown and orange.

Earrings add greatly to your look by defining your face and appearance. They provide your face with an aura of its own. Colored gemstones particularly those with deep vivid color make earrings stand out. This is the reason they are so attention seeking. Same goes true for sapphire earrings. You don’t have to be wearing blue, black or white in order to carry them. Contrasting colors such as red, green and yellow can also be worn to carry them well.

These earrings lost in the magic of velvety blue come in various designs and patterns. The most basic and popularly worn style is solitaire stud earrings. Choosing a right solitaire stud mainly depends upon the color of precious metal and of gem. Some faces gel good with square cut solitaires while round and pear suits others better. As far as danglers are concerned you can start with your favorite shapes such as pear, round emerald or square hanging down through a diamond studded string. You can also go for designs and patterns hanging off hoops. If danglers are too much for you then go for simple or studded hoops. On one hand where channel set sapphire hoops are good for daily wear, designs paired with diamond accents are lavish.

While talking about the gem, pink sapphire is worth mention. Because of its color it goes well for teenage and jewelry. Carry a pink sapphire solitaire earring or the contemporary hoops at a teenager’s birthday and your gift will never be forgotten. If this is the purchase you are making for once in a lifetime occasion then go for grand and off beat designs such as leaf danglers or earrings or dolphin earrings.

It is also the birthstone for September and an ideal gift for 5th and 45th wedding anniversary. Therefore if your wife or girlfriend is born in September or you are celebrating your anniversary soon this is something you can plan for as a gifting option.

The majority of photographers would employ them to take light meter readings in order to know what the lighting exposure would look like when the film was developed. This avoided under or over-exposed filming of movies. But in today's technologically advanced age, all that you have to do when using the digital technology cameras is to press the button and you have instantaneous, free, test shots (you do not even require a Polaroid camera for test shooting anymore.). If your exposure turns out to be off, then you just take another picture. It your light is too little or too much, you simply adjust it. Very few professional photographers utilize light meters any longer.

 

Strobe Light Sources

The majority of photographers at some point utilize electronic strobe lighting equipment, also known as photographic electronic flash. Numerous competing brands and kinds of flash and strobe lighting equipment are available.

These include bare bulbs, which are strobe heads that do not contain a reflector; small reflectors, which offer wide or narrow sprays of lighting; large reflectors, useful for bouncing light off of ceilings or into walls; grid spots, which are used to keep light from spreading out; light boxes, which are used to precisely focus where a light will shine; Freznells, which are very large and heavy lights that double as adjustable types of spot lights; optical spots, which are more or less a slide projector and a flash tube lying behind it; and ring lights, which are flash heads formed much like a donut that permit you to shoot film through the hole to achieve a nearly perfect light fill.
