For a "Honey Do" couples
shower where the couples are requested to give gifts which would help
the groom with his honey do list:
Name Tag Name
Very simple game for a couples shower. Buy
large nametags and on each one write the name of an item that could be
used to complete a "honey do" list. (See
list below) When the guests arrive at the party give
them each a nametag and tell them that from now on they will be known by
that name. They must respond to that name and only call others by
their nametag name. Each time they mess up and call someone
by the wrong name they must place a coin (penny, nickel, dime or
quarter) in a cute bank located in the center of the room for the bride and groom's
"honey do" projects.
Sample names for the nametags:
Hammer, Saw, Chisel, Nut, Bolt, Plywood, Duct Tape, WD40, Ladder, Stool,
Cement, ShopVac, Ratchet, Tool Belt, Pliers, Bucket ... there are so
many more.
Grooms Gag Gifts
This is a fun game that will keep the party moving when the bride and
groom are opening their presents. In the couples shower invitation
ask that the guests bring two gifts - a gift for the bride and an
inexpensive gag gift for the groom. When it is time to open the
gifts the bride and groom take turns opening the presents. After
the bride opens a gift addressed to her then the groom opens a gag gift.
The groom's gifts will provide entertainment and laughs through the gift
opening process.
Cartoon Couples Icebreaker Game
Choose cartoon couples and write their names on
separate pieces of paper. Mix them up and place them in a bowl or
basket by the front door. When guests arrive for the couples
shower ask them to choose a piece of paper and they have to go and find
their match. Some good cartoon couples are: Shaggy and
Scooby, Tom and Jerry, Sponge Bob and Patrick, Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd,
Daisy and Donald Duck, Chip and Dale, Mickey and Minnie Mouse.
Bride Test
Ask the groom several questions
about himself before the shower begins. Keep the answers for the
game. Before the bride and groom open their presents announce that
the bride will be asked questions about the groom. If she is able
to answer the question correctly she can open one of the gifts. If
she is wrong then the first person to shout out the correct answer gets
a small prize. You may need to have a lot of questions on hand
depending on how many gifts are to be opened.
Here are some fun sample questions to ask the
Groom:
1. Favorite TV show as a kid?
2. Favorite dessert?
3. Name of favorite stuffed animal?
4. Name of favorite pet?
5. Perfect vacation spot?
6. Dream profession as a child?
