Free Printable Bridal Shower Games
Test how well your guests really know the bride with this free printable "How Well Do You Know The Bride?" quiz. This game features 10 fun questions about the bride-to-be, with blank lines for guests to write their answers. It is the most popular bridal shower game for a reason — it sparks conversation, reveals surprising facts, and always gets lots of laughs. Just print one sheet per guest and let the fun begin.
How to Use This Printable
This quiz works best when the host prepares an answer key in advance by asking the bride (or groom) to fill out the answers ahead of time. That way, after guests submit their sheets, the bride can read the correct answers aloud, which always leads to funny stories and surprises.
Setup Instructions
- Get answers from the bride beforehand. Send the 10 questions to the bride via text or email before the shower. Her answers become the official answer key.
- Print one sheet per guest. Regular printer paper works perfectly for this game.
- Hand out sheets and pens. Give guests 5-8 minutes to fill in their answers.
- Read answers aloud. The bride reads each correct answer while guests score their own sheets. Encourage the bride to share the stories behind each answer.
- Highest score wins. Give a small prize to the guest who knows the bride best. In case of a tie, ask a sudden-death bonus question.
Customization Tips
While these 10 questions work great for any bridal shower, you can personalize the game by swapping in questions specific to the bride. Consider adding questions like "What was the bride's college major?", "What is her most embarrassing moment?", or "What was the groom's first impression of the bride?" The more specific the questions, the more entertaining the reveals will be.
Timing and Flow
This game works best early in the bridal shower, after guests have arrived and had a chance to grab food. It takes about 15-20 minutes total: 5-8 minutes for guests to answer, and 10-12 minutes for the bride to read answers aloud (with storytelling). It naturally generates conversation and sets a fun, lighthearted tone for the rest of the event.
Frequently Asked Questions
What bridal shower games are most fun?
The most popular bridal shower games include How Well Do You Know The Bride, He Said She Said, Bridal Bingo, and Wedding Word Scramble. Games that reveal fun stories about the couple tend to get the biggest laughs. How Well Do You Know The Bride is consistently rated the top bridal shower game because it sparks conversation and surprises — especially when the bride reads the correct answers aloud and shares the backstory.
How many games should you play at a bridal shower?
Plan for 2 to 4 games during a typical 2-3 hour bridal shower. Space them out between food, gifts, and conversation. Too many games can make the event feel rushed, while too few can leave awkward lulls. A solid lineup is one icebreaker game (like a word scramble), one group activity (like this quiz), and one game during gift opening (like bingo).
When should you play games at a bridal shower?
Play the first game about 30 minutes after guests arrive, once everyone has had a chance to mingle and grab food. Play the second game between courses or after the main meal. Save a final game like bingo for the gift-opening portion. Avoid front-loading all games at the beginning — spreading them out keeps the energy consistent and gives guests natural breaks for conversation.
