One of the best things about bridal showers is that they can be anything that you like if you use your imagination. There are virtually hundreds of different kinds of bridal shower themes that you can use, and really, bridal showers with a theme are a whole lot more fun! Another popular kind of bridal shower is called a cakes shower. A cakes shower is a way to help the bride expand her recipe book for when she is married and acting as the primary homemaker. Having an extensive supply of dessert recipes can come in handy as all kinds of gifts, birthday cakes, special treats for your family, holidays, and much more.

As previously stated, I am a Christian, and I want my life and activities I do to demonstrate that to others around me. Therefore, when the bridal showers started, I didn’t want any kind of bridal shower game that was dirty, or what I considered inappropriate, in my opinion you don’t need those kinds of games to have a good time. I did find though, that if you’re looking around on the Internet for Christian Bridal Shower Games, you don’t really have a whole lot of options. There are plenty of games, however that I have played in the past, not necessarily at bridal showers, but that are still clean and appropriate to play with any group of people. I’ve compiled a list of my favorites, and feel free to comment and add any of your favorites as well.

Traditionally, bridal showers were for women only, and consisted of a tea, or fancy luncheon with maybe some games, and the opening of gifts, all for the bride to help her set up her new home. Today bridal showers are different, and can be anything that you want them to be. Some bridal showers are even co-ed, meaning the groom and his friends, or your friend’s husbands or boyfriends can attend as well. Two of our wedding showers were co-ed, since neither one of us wanted to miss out on a bit of the fun. If you want to have a co-ed bridal shower, but don’t want to make the guys uncomfortable with the lace, flowers, and fancy finger foods that usually accompany the traditional bridal shower, then here are some great ways to make your shower more co-ed friendly.

Today though, I’m only going to focus on the Alphabet Bridal Shower. To those of you who don’t know what this is, it is a particular theme of bridal shower which is based off of the alphabet. Sounds simple right? It is. To work this bridal shower, assign each lady a particular letter of the alphabet. Each lady is to bring a gift which corresponds to the letter they were assigned in their invitation. For example, if someone was assigned a C, they could bring a coffee cup, coffee, or collander. Allow guests to use their imagination and come up with gifts on their own. Such as, for the lady assigned the letter Q, let her do quiet time books, or a quick meal recipe book. But, if you are looking for ideas to help with your Alphabet bridal shower, you’ve come to the right place. Here are some great details to help make your shower something great!

There is nothing quite like a bridal shower, having a group of ladies close to the bride all together at once celebrating an upcoming wedding, and the games you play at the bridal shower will help make everything more memorable for everyone involved.

Be sure to keep in mind that there is no rule stating that you must have games at your bridal shower, but it will help your guests relax and start interacting if they are not already friends.
