This game was inspired by my nephew. He is a basketball player and has been for a long time. If he and his girlfriend ever decide to get married, then this game would be a hit at their wedding shower.
This blog post is all about the Mini Bridal Basketball game.
This one is for the ballers, shot callers, and alco-hollers? LOL. This is a game for a bride that loves basketball or who is marrying someone who loves basketball. This is a great game for adults to play at a bachelorette party and cool enough for kids to play at a bridal shower as well.
So if you are looking for a fun, competitive game that is a G-rated alternative to Bra Pong, then you will love the Mini Bridal Basketball Game we came up with.
This game is a great option for a bachelorette party for three reasons. The first reason why you should have this activity is that it goes well with the “Last Dunk Before the Hunk” theme. It’s a less popular theme, but it definitely stands out.
Another reason is if you are a fan of March madness and the bachelorette party is taking place around that time, then this game is very appropriate. And other March madness enthusiasts will appreciate the gesture.
The last reason to have this game is that it is easy to make and it costs less than $5.00 to DIY. The materials are easy to find and this project could be finished in less than 45 minutes.
So even if you are not a basketball fanatic or having the Last Dunk-themed party. This game is still worth playing because the guests will love it and if it is all adults, it could make a great drinking game.

Materials For Mini Bridal Basketball Game
We were able to find all of the materials for this game at the Dollar Tree. You will need a poster board and some cups. Some other materials include:
- Scissors
- Markers
- Constriction paper
- Tape
Some may find it easier to make this game on a trifold board because it will stand on its own. We recommend this option if you plan to have children play this game.
If you plan to use this game for adults, then we suggest you use a flat poster board. Attach the finished game to a wall to at least eye level to make it more of a challenge.

Gather materials, cut out letters and score cards and place them as you want on the foam board. Make and color letters for the game title. Paste letters at the top of the board (we used letter stickers).
Glue score cards to boad two 10 point cards a the top, two 5 point cards toward the bottom and one 20 point card in the center.
