Tonight the lovely ladies and I (aka. the female half of the bridal party) got together at Sister Bean’s hut to discuss bridal showers! We had a great time discussing various ideas of what should happen – I am so blessed to have such willing and helpful ladies as my “gang”.

I am not a person who really enjoys being in a spotlight for long periods of time, so we decided that one big shower (instead of a string of 50 billion showers) for everyone so that my death by embarrassment only happens once. Then, they are going to throw a more intimate lingerie shower for friends, where we have dinner, hang out and make fun of me as I get embarrassed about receiving racy items. Oh, and of course the infamous bachelorette

I’m super excited about the theme of my bachelorette party – no wild partying at clubs for me! Here’s a teaser:

Have you guessed it? I’m so excited! It’s going to be awesome!

For the huge shower the lovely ladies asked me what kind of things I would like to do. To be honest, I wasn’t sure as I haven’t really put too much thought into it. We did decide on a kitchen themed shower, where people would bring in a recipe and a utensil used in the recipe, which is sweet because Mr. Bean loves cooking and I love baking! However, something needs to happen to entertain people for the few hours and so I was given homework: the research bridal shower games that I didn’t think were lame. So, I have compiled a list of typical activities that I think would be fun. (Since there are quite a few weddings this summer, I reckon that people are going to be quite shower’d out, so I think something different might be nice!)

Idea 1: Toilet Paper Dress

I know, it’s a bit cliché, but don’t you think that it would be a lot of fun if a group of about 30 people did this? You could have 6+ dresses! Think of the competition, the thrill of being a designer of the flimsiest material ever!
 

 Idea 2: Crossing of Legs

I think this game could be a lot of fun, especially since the game can run for the duration of the whole shower as a side game. It would be pretty awesome – and I would lose right away. Well, we can’t all be perfect

Idea 3: Marshmallow Wedding Cake

This idea was found on Mrs. Caramel’s bridal shower post on weddingbee. I think it’s great – you take a bunch of marshmallows, icing, syrup, baking entities and see who can make the best looking wedding cake! It’s definitely something a bit different, it allows people to be creative and work together and you get to see what people can “cook” up.

What slightly different and entertaining games were played at bridal showers you have been to? Please share the love!
