Free Printable He Said She Said Bridal Shower Game
This hilarious bridal shower game features 12 statements about the couple, and guests have to guess who said each one — the bride or the groom. It is one of the funniest icebreakers because the answers are always surprising, and the reveals spark great stories. Before the shower, ask the bride and groom to each respond to the statements, then use their real answers as the answer key. Just print, play, and enjoy the laughs.
How to Use This Printable
The He Said She Said game requires a small amount of preparation before the shower, but the payoff is worth it. The key is getting real answers from both the bride and groom ahead of time, which turns the game into a genuine reveal rather than just a guessing exercise.
Before the Shower
- Send the statements to the bride and groom separately. Ask each of them to claim each statement for themselves ("I am the better cook — is that you or your partner?"). Record their answers — these become the answer key.
- Note any disagreements. If both the bride and groom claim the same statement (e.g., both say "I am the better cook"), that makes for an especially funny reveal at the shower. Mark it as a bonus round question.
- Print one sheet per guest. Regular paper works fine. You will also want a printed answer key for yourself.
At the Shower
- Hand out game sheets and pens. Explain that for each statement, guests should check either "He Said" or "She Said" based on who they think said it.
- Give guests 5 minutes to fill in their guesses. Play background music while they work so there is no awkward silence.
- Reveal answers one by one. Read each statement aloud and announce who actually said it. Encourage the bride to share the story behind each answer — this is where the biggest laughs happen.
- Score and award a prize. The guest with the most correct answers wins.
Tips for Maximum Fun
This game gets the most laughs when the answers are surprising. If the groom claimed he takes longer to get ready, or if the bride said she is the better driver, those unexpected answers create the best moments. Ask the bride and groom to answer honestly rather than strategically.
For co-ed showers, this game is even better. Have the couple sit back-to-back and hold up "He" or "She" paddles to reveal their answers live. The real-time reactions from both the couple and the guests make it one of the most memorable moments of the shower.
