For Girls Only is one of the main names around my area. I suggest calling it up and then everyone who attends to help the bride stock up on supplies needed for the honeymoon ;)</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/what-to-do-any-options-left#post-64691 Thu, 03 Jul 2008 08:41:10 +0000 crave13 64691@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>For my sister's bridal shower, we had several non-scandalous activites.&nbsp; For example, we had a game where we gave out stacks of magazines.&nbsp; we asked everyone to create a collage of what they think her wedding would look like (based on invitations, what she's said etc).&nbsp; the winner was the one whose collage was the closest.&nbsp; </p> <p>We also did a version of pin the tail on the donkey, but we used a bride and several accessories.&nbsp; We cut out things like a bouquet, veil, necklace etc. and had the blindfolded person try to stick them on a cut out of a bride.&nbsp; It was really fun especially after seeing ppl stick things on the wall, put the bouquet on the bride's face etc.&nbsp; </p> <p>&nbsp;there's always the toilet paper dress which is always fun! </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/what-to-do-any-options-left#post-64675 Thu, 03 Jul 2008 07:35:33 +0000 boothbride 64675@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I just saw this article about Bridal Shower games on Real Simple's website:</p> <p><a href="http://www.realsimple.com/realsimple/gallery/0,21863,1734155,00.html?xid=weeklynews">http://www.realsimple.com/realsimple/gallery/0,21863,1734155,00.html?xid=weeklynews</a></p> <p>I'm not sure that their suggestions for shower ideas would be popular with older folks, but perhaps the bridge &amp; poker tourney???</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/what-to-do-any-options-left#post-64642 Wed, 02 Jul 2008 23:09:40 +0000 staceyb 64642@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>oh, also, for my bachlorette party we went to one of those paint your own pottery places, then went to dinner afterwards at a nice italian restaurant. (we got engaged in italy, so my girls thought it fit!) i looove to craft, so it fit, and the only time we had for my bachlorette was four days before the wedding, so it was also a great way to relax. </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/what-to-do-any-options-left#post-64634 Wed, 02 Jul 2008 22:46:01 +0000 TallBride 64634@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Spa day</p> <p>shopping</p> <p>tea party</p> <p>Maybe go to a cool restruant for the B-party or a lingere party? (everyone buys a cute little something something for her) </p> <p>any concerts coming up in your area?</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/what-to-do-any-options-left#post-64629 Wed, 02 Jul 2008 22:35:19 +0000 staceyb 64629@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>we did a game at my shower that i was pretty fond of... my MIL had a big bowl of rice, and hid 25 of those little metal fake wedding rings (like the kind sold in the bridal aisle at joann's) in the rice. we each had a minute to stick our hands in and pull out as many rings as possible. it was HARD!! :) amazingly, you couldn't feel the rings with all the rice! we all enjoyed it though, especially cause we're all pretty competitive. :) </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/what-to-do-any-options-left#post-64609 Wed, 02 Jul 2008 21:01:00 +0000 rebecca 64609@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>At my shower, there was a really wide range of ages (ladies from 11 to 80), and everyone got really into the games!</p> <p>The first game was a memory game. My FMIL put all this strange stuff in a room, then took everyone into another room and had them write down what they could remember.</p> <p>There was also a trivia game about my FI and I asking questions like what our favorite restaurant is, what our dog's name is, and where my FI got my e-ring. You could probably do this same thing for the bachelorette but make the questions a little more risque, if you want!</p> <p>For the last game, she had me leave the room and everyone had to draw a picture of our ideal honeymoon destination if we had an unlimited amount of time and money. When I came back in, I had to go through all of the pictures and pick out my top 5 places (without knowing who drew them, of course!).</p> <p>She also had a modified cutthroat pollyanna of sorts for favors (everyone picked a number out of a hat, and they each went in that order to pick a gift).</p> <p>Hope this helps!&nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/what-to-do-any-options-left#post-64482 Wed, 02 Jul 2008 14:57:22 +0000 missbean 64482@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Does she enjoy cooking or need to learn how to cook? Maybe bring someone in to show you how to make things/make dinner for all of you. That could be fun! </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/what-to-do-any-options-left#post-64481 Wed, 02 Jul 2008 14:54:19 +0000 Pelikila 64481@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>For my bridal shower the only game we played was appropriate for all ages.&nbsp; Everyone was given a 3x5 card and asked to write some words of wisdom for the bride.&nbsp; No names were put on the cards.&nbsp; My matron of honor then collected them, mixed them up and read them out loud.&nbsp; I had to guess who wrote each one.&nbsp; My guests ranged from 18 to 87 and everyone seemed to enjoy it.</p> <p>In regards to the bachelorette, I'm with the other ladies, a spa day is always nice.&nbsp; You can also do things like a bath junkie party (if you have one in your area) or dinner with a movie marathon sleep over, or something crafty as many of the other ladies mentioned (pottery, scrapbooking, cooking with a recipe exchange).</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/what-to-do-any-options-left#post-64458 Wed, 02 Jul 2008 14:30:24 +0000 cinderellasmom 64458@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>How about a day of fun??? Amusement park just for the girls??? or take a night time limo tour of your city and then dinner?? or Go rafting/tubing if your area has water????&nbsp; Think outside the box!! Even going to one of those make your own pottery places could be fun with a bunch of girlfriends. </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/what-to-do-any-options-left#post-64445 Wed, 02 Jul 2008 14:14:42 +0000 caliocteach 64445@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>There is always the old fashioned saftey pin game -- you give each guest a safety pin with a second safety pin hanging from it.&nbsp; You tell them that if they see anyone crossing their legs or ankles you can take their second&nbsp;pin away and attach it to their own.&nbsp; At the end the girl with the most pins wins.&nbsp; Ladies that don't care about winning and want to cross their legs will give up their pin quickly so they can cross their legs. </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/what-to-do-any-options-left#post-64441 Wed, 02 Jul 2008 14:11:21 +0000 rosychicklet 64441@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>For games, there's bridal bingo (everyone fills in on a bingo board gifts they think the bride will get and then cross them off as she opens gifts), trivia (ask True/False questions about the bride and/or groom), purse power (where you accumulate points for items you have in your purse- ie photos, keys, cell phone, nail file, etc.- more unusual items are worth more), and I'm sure lots more that would be OK for an older crowd.&nbsp;</p> <p>For the bachelorette, I think the spa is a good idea.&nbsp; Some spas have a flat fee for you to get in and use the facilities- that way all the ladies can hang out together in the pool, sauna, etc. when not getting treatments.</p> <p>The slumber party could also be fun- make-up and nails, popcorn, chick flicks, cute matching PJs... </p> <p>Another idea may be to do something related to a hobby your sister might have- like scrapbooking, pottery, knitting or something.&nbsp; Get an expert to come (or even a person that sells stuff) and help you all through a project.&nbsp; Or something like paint your own pottery, a cooking class, etc.&nbsp;</p> <p>What about a concert or a show?&nbsp; Comedy club? &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/what-to-do-any-options-left#post-64438 Wed, 02 Jul 2008 14:03:40 +0000 amysue 64438@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>- Pedicures/manicures</p> <p>- Nice dinner and a girly movie with all the trimmin's (popcorn, candy, etc.)</p> <p>- Amusement/water park trip</p> <p>- A weekend getaway to some place like a lake, if there's one nearby&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/what-to-do-any-options-left#post-64437 Wed, 02 Jul 2008 14:00:56 +0000 missm 64437@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>for the bachelorette, how about a slumber party or a ladies' spa day? </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/what-to-do-any-options-left#post-64435 Wed, 02 Jul 2008 13:59:06 +0000 31906bcf 64435@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>so my sister is getting married in oct. and I need to throw her a bridal shower and a bachlorette party.</p> <p>&nbsp;I need games for the bridal shower appropiate for elder people.</p> <p>any suggestions?</p> <p>&nbsp;Also for the bachlorette party I have NO idea what to do.
