Anyone with great suggestions for fun shower games? There will be 13 of us, including me and the bride (my niece). They want me to plan the games and we will have a private room. There are folks from about 8 years old to the grandmother of the bride (my mom) who is 85.

So far, my sister who is planning the shower wants to have the bride dressed in wrapping paper and have a bouquet with the ribbons (which we ALWAYS do), but I’m supposed to plan the other games.

I have assembled about 22 things that the bride (& groom) can bring along on their honeymoon for a memory game–will let everyone look at the tray briefly, then write as many things as they can remember after I cover up the tray. (Will gift the bride with all the items–like travel toothbrush & toothpaste, sewing kit, etc. – little travel things.)

I’m just trying to think of other games that would work with the huge age range. Maybe a scavenger hunt in teams? Maybe wedding bingo? Have read about the game where there are forbidden words and if you get another guest to say a forbidden word (like groom, groom’s name, wedding), you collect a clothespin from the other guest and the person with the most clothespins at the end of the time period wins. The games will be while everyone is sitting, as there won’t be much room to move around in the “private room,” but would appreciate any suggestions. We will have two tables of guests, with only one of them (friend visiting niece) not related to the bride.

I’m trying to decide on two or so more games. Thanks for suggestions.
