Co-Ed Games

Pick The Groom

Blindfold the bride-to-be and have all the guys in the room roll up their pants to the knee.  Have the bride feel each leg and see if she can tell which one is her man.  The guys' butts, arms or chests could also be used for this game.

Know The Groom

Prior to the shower ask the groom 15 to 20 questions about himself such as his favorite color, favorite song, favorite food, favorite sports team, etc.  Have each guest write down a number from one to 15 (or whatever the number of questions is) then ask the questions of the bride.  The guest who's number is closest to the number of correct answers wins a prize.

Gingerbread Men And Women

Before the bridal shower bake enough gingerbread men for the expected guests, plus a few extra just in case.  Gather items that can be used to decorate the gingerbread men such as buttons, ribbons, string, frosting and candies.  Buy or prepare plenty of frosting to be used to stick the items to the cookies.  Have each male guest decorate a gingerbread bride and have each female guest decorate a gingerbread groom.  Let the bride pick the best "groom" and vice versa - give the winners a prize, then let everyone eat their artwork.

Mr. & Mrs. Potato Head

A variation of the above game using potatoes instead of gingerbread men.  Gather scraps of materials, buttons, lace, ribbon and pins and have the guests create bride and groom potato heads.  Give a prize for the best "bride" and the best "groom".

Pin The Lips On The Bride/Groom

Draw a large sketch of a bride and groom, or enlarge a photo of the bride and groom-to-be.  Cut sets of lips out of red construction paper, blindfold each guest in turn, and have them try to pin (or tape) the lips on the bride and groom.  The guest to get closest to the mouth wins.  In the event of a tie pick the guy who got closest to the bride's lips or the gal who got closest to the groom's lips, or give a prize to each if they were equally close.

Couple Trivia

Prepare a list of trivia questions dealing with famous couples like Fred & Wilma Flintstone, Lucy & Ricky Ricardo, Sonny & Cher, George & Louise Jefferson, Archie & Edith Bunker, Barney & Betty Rubble, etc.  Ask the guests to write down their answers to the questions and give them the answers at the end.  The guest with the most correct answers wins.  This game could also be played as a couples or partners game.

The Newlywed Game

Prepare questions in advance of the shower and divide up the men and the women to ask them the questions - ask half of the questions of the men and half of the women.  Write down their answers then bring them back together in the same room.  Ask the women what answers they think their men gave to their questions, and vice versa.  The couple with the most correct answers wins.

Toilet Paper Race

Have a roll of pink toilet paper ready to give to the bride-to-be and a blue roll of toilet paper ready to give to the groom-to-be.  Divide the guests up into male and female groups and let them each know that first to unroll their toilet paper roll will be the one to "wear the pants" in the family.  The teamwork this game brings out makes it hilarious!
