How to play the bridal shower this or that game

  1. Pick 15 to 20 pairs from the sections above and type them into a numbered list.
  2. Send the list to the bride a few days early and keep her answers in a sealed envelope.
  3. Print one copy per guest with your browser's Print button, or read the pairs aloud.
  4. Guests circle the option they think the bride picked.
  5. The bride reads her answers one at a time and tells the story behind any surprise.
  6. Guests count their correct guesses. The highest score wins a small prize, such as a candle or a bottle of wine.

Tips for the this or that bridal game

  • Keep it to 20 pairs. Shower schedules are tight, and gifts still need time.
  • Use the stand-up version for groups over 30. Paper scoring slows down with a crowd.
  • Ask the maid of honor to read the pairs so the bride can react.
  • Run the bachelorette pairs at the bachelorette party, not the shower, if grandmothers attend.
  • Write the final scores on a card for the bride's keepsake box.

Frequently asked questions

How does the bridal shower this or that game work?

The this or that bridal shower game is a guessing game. Guests predict which of two options the bride would pick, such as Something old or Something new, and the bride reveals her real answers. The guest with the most correct guesses wins a small prize. Twenty questions take about 15 minutes, and the game needs only paper and pens.

Guests guess the bride's answers to two-option questions, such as Veil or Flower crown. The bride reveals each answer, and guests score one point per correct guess. The highest score wins. Twenty questions take about 15 minutes.

Good bridal shower this or that questions mix the bride's taste with wedding choices. Try Something old or Something new, First look or Aisle reveal, Keep the dress or Sell the dress, and DJ or Live band. Add a few couple pairs so guests who know the groom can score.

Plan 15 to 20 pairs for one bridal shower this or that game. That fills about 15 minutes and leaves time for gifts and food. Go up to 25 if the bride tells a story with each answer and the room enjoys it.

Yes. Use the this or that bachelorette questions section, and add pairs about the couple. Bachelorette groups are smaller and closer, so you can include harder questions only best friends would get right.

Swap the bride for the parent-to-be and use the baby shower pairs, such as Classic name or Unique name and Stroller or Baby carrier. Collect the real answers before the shower and score guesses the same way.

The site has no ready-made cards, but every page has a print-friendly layout. Pick your pairs, use your browser's Print or Save as PDF option, and cut the list into strips. Canva also lets you lay pairs out on a card template if you want a styled version.

Small prizes under 15 dollars work best: a candle, a mini bottle of wine, a face mask set or a coffee gift card. Buy two in case of a tie, or settle a tie with one final bride question.
