The bridal shower is a chance to celebrate with closest friends and family. Opening gifts is a main focus of the bridal shower, so why not organize a fun and interactive game to break the ice?

As everyone gathers around and watches the bride open her gifts, bridal shower bingo is the perfect way to liven things up, interact with other guests and be a part of the process.

Not sure where to start? We’ve got you covered with a guide on how to play bridal shower bingo, including free printable bingo cards!

How To Play Bridal Shower Bingo

  1. At the beginning of the bridal shower, distribute bingo cards and pens to each guest.
  2. Instruct guests to completely fill in each box of their card with potential bridal shower gifts the bride may receive. Even if guests share or overhear ideas, each card will differ and vary based on the placement of the gifts on the bingo card.
  3. When it comes time to open gifts, have the guests gather around the designated gift-opening area and focus on the bride.
  4. As the bride opens a gift, guests will cross out their card if it matches. The first guest to get five correct gifts in a row, vertical, horizontal or diagonal will call out “Bingo!” and win a prize.

Bridal Shower Bingo Gifts

Some typical bridal shower gifts that guests can write down on their card are a blender, coffee maker, toaster, skillet, waffle maker, carafe, pillows or bedding. The list goes on, so feel free to get creative.

Gift For The Bingo Winner

To help encourage guests to participate, prepare a take home gift for the bingo winner. Prizes can range anywhere from a flower pot with a succulent to a canvas pouch for life’s little necessities. Or, if you’re running low on time, DIY the bingo winner’s gift. Try decorative bottle stoppers or a fun marker mug. When possible, stay on trend with your bridal shower theme!

A bridal shower is all about celebrating the bride-to-be. Make the planning process as stress-free and fun as possible! Bridal shower bingo is the perfect way to add a fun twist to the gift opening part of the event. Guests will love getting involved, and you’ll remember it for years to come.
