Put A Ring On It Bridal Shower Game (2 Ways to Play)

I must agree with Beyonce when she said, “If you like it the you shoulda put a ring on it.” Besides the Single Ladies song this is also an entertaining bridal shower game. This game will encourage guests to play for the love of the bling! This article will discuss how to play Put a Ring On It.

How do you play Put a Ring On It at a bridal shower?

This game could be played two totally different ways. The first way is to give guests a ring and every time someone says a forbidden word, they get their ring taken away. The person that has the most rings at the end wins. The second way to play is to collect as many fruit candy rings as possible. The kicker is that you have to collect the fruit rings using a chopstick in your mouth.

Version 1

The object of this game is to penalize players when they use the most common bridal shower words. They will find it almost impossible to play without saying one of the words that will get their ring taken.

Official Rules

Take a ring to keep but do NOT say “bride” or “wedding.” Take the rings from those who use the forbidden words. The player with the most rings at the end wins!

Set Up

This game takes about 10-15 minutes to set up. There will need to be a table with the rings and the rules. This game is meant to be played throughout the bridal shower and the winner will be announced at the very end. That way there will be plenty of time for players to collect rings.

Materials

1 Display Board with instructions on how to play Put A Ring On It.

Rings (amount depends on the number of guests expected to attend).

Box to store rings (optional).

Instructions

As guests arrive to the bridal shower, the hostess should make sure all guest goes to the table where the game is set up. Each player should take 1 ring and read how to play the game. The instructions could also be displayed on the table so that there isn’t any confusion.

When all of the guests have arrived the hostess should announce the game and go over how to play. They should also tell them that this is a game that could be played throughout the bridal shower and the winner will be announced at the end.

Bonus Tip

Make sure you have plenty of rings to go around. For example, 50 guests are expected, have at least 60 ring available so that there are extras.

Version 2

This version of the game is a little less formal. I would recommend to use this version for a smaller shower where most people know each and comfortable being competitive.

Official Rules

Collect as many rings you can! The player has to do this only with a chopstick. The player collect rings by holding the chopstick in their mouth. The player that gets 10 rings first wins the game.

Set Up

This game could be played at a tables. Two tables could be set up side by side facing the crowd so that every one will be able to see the contest. Candy fruit rings are placed in a bowls on the table. There should be a bowl of candy fruit rings for each player.

Materials

Chopsticks ( 1 for each player).

Candy Fruit Rings (at least 10).

Bowls

Instructions

Fill a bowl with candy gummy rings. Give each player one chopstick. Hostess should say the rules of the game (see official rules). After “ready, set, go,” players should collect as many rings as they can with the chopsticks in their mouths. The hostess should keep track of how many rings each player has collected. Once a player gets 10 rings, announce the winner.

Bonus Tip

Be sure to spread players out so that they have enough room to maneuver around and they try to get the rings. Each player should be an arm’s length away.

Make It Festive

One way to make this game even more fun is to add music. In the first version of the game, make sure that one of the songs that come son while the guests are mingling is Beyonce’s Single ladies. That song could also be played for the second version while players are competing with their chopsticks.

More Ring Ideas

Ring Pops

Ring pops could be used for the first version of the game. Unopened Ring Pops could be collected in stead of plastic rings you have to wear. This could make the grand prize of the most rings even tastier.

Wedding Ring Wedding Chocolate Candy Mold 

This is a great idea for the second version of the game. The hostess could make their own ring treats by using these chocolate candy molders. They could belt chocolate inside and make their own ring candies. This could be a nice factor for the chopstick version of Put A Ring On It for Chocolate lovers.

Display Ideas for Put A Ring On It

This is a nice way to display the rule of he game because it goes well with a rustic themed bridal shower. The sign has wood and and flowers on it. That add to the natural look of rustic design.

This style is nice for a more sophisticated and feminine bridal shower. This sign is light and dainty and perfect for a bridal shower that has light colors and a formal style to it.

I like that they have the rules on a simple chalkboard. It is inexpensive and creative. This is a great way to customize the rules and make it in any font or style that is preferred.

Conclusion

In conclusion, there are multiple ways to play Put A Ring On It. It is a bridal shower game that will sure make guests laugh and bring out some competitive side. The first version involves forbidden words and the second version includes chopsticks. whether you decide to play the first version, the second version or both, this game will definitely bring a good time.
