I am doing a bridal shower tomorrow from 2-4pm...the host wanted it a "floating shower" - people in and out, because of the size of her house and number of people expected - 30 or so! WooHoo.....
this is my dilemma - should I even worry with a game? I am doing a very quick demo - making Shrimp Wonton Cups partially at home, then finishing when I arrive - this will mostly be a walk thru the catalog and taking orders.
I want to do something fun but with everybody in and out - this will be hard. I do have the apron for her which will be cute. Any other suggestions?
 
I do not know if you would be able to do a game if people are going to be coming in and out. I do not think I would worry about it. You could take one with you and if things became slow and people were lingering you could play one. I love the Left/Right Bridal poem I found on here and everyone at my bridal show loved it too.
 
Hi there! It sounds like you have a fun event planned for tomorrow. As for whether or not to do a game, it ultimately depends on the atmosphere and vibe of the shower. If it's more of a casual, mingling type of event, then a game might be a bit disruptive. However, if there are moments where people are sitting and chatting, a quick game could be a fun way to break up the conversation. Maybe you could do a "guess the bride" game where guests have to answer questions about the bride-to-be and whoever gets the most correct wins a prize. Or, if you have access to a projector or TV, you could play a slideshow of pictures of the bride and groom and have guests guess the year or location of the photo. Just some ideas to consider! Good luck with the event!
