Before the bride begins unwrapping her gifts, have the guests make predictions on what gifts she will get during the bridal shower. Ask the guests to write predictions on the potential gifts the bride opens.
They could write each idea into individual boxes. One item in each square so that there is an even number of items for everyone.
For example, some of the things you could write are wine glasses, plates, napkins, towels, etc. As the bride opens her gifts, observe the times she receives them. The host will call out the item the bride has opened. And if it is one of the items you wrote on your card, then you could scratch those items out.
Make sure that the bride announces the gifts she opens. So that there is a clear understanding of the item.
The first person to get five in a row horizontally, vertically, or diagonally could shout BINGO. And they should get a prize. You could have as many rounds as you like for this bridal bingo game.
This is a great way to keep everyone’s interest in the bridal shower. It will keep the guests engaged and give everyone an incentive to keep track of the bride’s gifts.
