3 Types of Bridal Shower Activities

We knew we had to break it down into three categories.

First up, we’ve got crafting – Because who doesn’t love getting their DIY on while sipping champagne with your besties?

Next, we’ve got group activities – The more the merrier! And finally, we’ve got pampering – because who doesn’t want to feel like a queen before their big day?

So whether you’re into crafting, group activities, or just need some serious TLC, we’ve got you covered with these awesome activity ideas.

Crafts

Here are the best craft ideas for a wedding shower. These crafts work best with a smaller group and an intimate event.

Scrapbooking:

Scrapbooking is not just for grandmas anymore! This activity is perfect for capturing all the silly, sentimental, and downright embarrassing moments leading up to the wedding. Plus, you get to use all the stickers and glitter you want!

The couple could look back and take a stroll down memory lane and see the amazing scrapbook guests filled out.

Decorating champagne glasses:

What’s better than sipping on some bubbly with your girls? Sipping on some bubbly in glasses that you designed yourselves. While decorating you could play a playlist with the couple’s favorite love songs and talk about different wedding traditions.

This craft is super easy but adds a fun and personalized touch to the party.

Flower crowns:

Everyone could be stylish at the bridal shower by making a cute flower crown. This activity is perfect for the boho-chic bride-to-be who wants to channel her inner flower child. This craft is the perfect excuse to play with flowers and feel like a fairy princess.

During these crafting activities, you could play a playlist with the couple’s favorite love songs. And talk about different wedding traditions.

Group Activities

These are the best ideas for a larger bridal shower. These activities could be done throughout the shower or you could make them the theme of the entire event.

Flower bar:

The guests will have the opportunity to get their own bouquet of flowers. They’ll get to design themselves, of course! This activity is perfect for the bride who loves flowers and guests could bring a beautiful bouquet of flowers home.

Wine and cheese tasting:

Wine could be the highlight of the event. Bring the vineyard to you with this fun and delicious activity! And cheese makes it even better. We love seeing this being done alongside a traditional activity like the Date Night Ideas Jar.

Cupcake decorating:

Decorating cupcakes is just as fun as eating them! This activity is perfect for the sweet-toothed bride-to-be and her guests who want to get their sugar fix while also getting creative. Plus, you get to eat your masterpiece at the end!

Recipe sharing:

If the bride-to-be is a foodie, this activity is a must-do. Have each guest bring their favorite recipe and share it with the group. Not only do you get to try out some new dishes, but you also get to share some favorite family recipes and traditions.

After guests are finished sharing their recipes, you could include a wedding word search or Mad Libs to keep people engaged in another activity.

Pampering and Relaxation

Spa day:

The bride-to-be and her guests could get pampered like queens for a day. A spa day is a perfect activity to help everyone relax and de-stress leading up to the big day.

Yoga class:

If the bride-to-be is more of the zen type, a yoga class might be the perfect activity. It’s a great way to get centered and mindful before the wedding craziness begins. Plus, you get to wear comfy yoga pants both the bride and groom could participate.

Massage station:

If you don’t want to commit to a full-on spa day, a massage station is a great alternative. Set up a little area with massage oils and let everyone take turns giving each other mini-massages. It’s the perfect way to relax and bond with your besties.

There you have it – three awesome pampering activities that will have the bride-to-be and her guests feeling like they’re on cloud nine. These activities are perfect for those who want to take a break from wedding planning and just focus on some much-needed R&R.

Conclusion

So there you have it – nine awesome bridal shower activities that are way better than those boring old games! Whether you’re the crafty type, love to bond over food and drink, or just want to relax and pamper yourself, there’s an activity for everyone.

The best part about these activities is that they allow you and your guests to connect and have a great time without feeling pressured to perform or win a game. Instead, you get to let your creativity and personalities shine while creating memories that will last a lifetime.

I remember at my friend’s bridal shower, we did a flower crown-making activity. We were all sitting around the table, laughing and talking while we crafted our flower crowns. We went down memory lane and talked about our favorite memories.

By the end of the activity, we all put on our flower crowns and took pictures. As if we were fairy princesses or something. It was a moment I’ll remember because it was a lot of fun and gave us a chance to express our creativity.

So if you’re the maid of honor, bridesmaid, or mother of the bride, don’t be afraid to switch things up and try something new when planning a bridal shower. These activities are guaranteed to make your celebration one for the books and will have everyone feeling the love and joy that comes with the wedding season. Happy planning!
