I am not a big game person. I know, I know… I wish I was. But I’m just not. Even at showers… I like to keep it to one or two games. One game I do really love is when you ask the groom a bunch of questions beforehand and then the bride has to guess his responses. Everyone always enjoys getting to know the couple more and it keeps the focus on the bride which is most important! Guests, like me, love it because we get to just sit and listen.
On my post about a purple lace shower I co-hosted, Natalie wrote in asking for the questions we asked the groom. I’ve been to a couple of showers in the last six months and we played this game at both of them… so I emailed the lovely gals who put the questions together and combined their list so you can pick and choose. Perhaps it will be a nice resource to you when you’re planning a shower. A big thank you to Kate and Laura for their great questions. Readers, please comment with your additions of fun questions and then we’ll all have a complete list!! Spoiler alert: If you’re not yet married, you probably shouldn’t read through this list…
