Trivia Games: Preserve Revenue and Can Make Your Bachelorette Party or Bridal Shower Awesome
No matter what kind of party youre having tame or risque its likely youre bringing together a group of people who do not know each other well.You can help your guests get to know each other and feel more relaxed by playing trivia games based on the bride, or on the couple, since that is the one thing they will all likely have in common.Keep reading to find out everything you need to know to organize your trivia games, from structure to questions – even prizes.
What Do You Know About the Bride/Couple
As each guest arrives to the party, give them a mulitple-choice or short-answer quiz that you have written.The questions can be bride-related (When is Anne’s birthday? What is Annes favorite movie? How old was Anne when she got her first kiss?), or about the couple (Where did James take Anne on their first date?What did James bring as a gift on their first date? ).If you like, you can collect all the quizzes after everyone has finished and see who won, or (which is way more entertaining), have the guests grade each other’s quizzes and then determine the winner.
In the Hot Seat
Another option is to meet with the groom previous to the event and ask him questions the bride should know the answer to. During the party, have the bride sit in a chair in the middle of the room and ask her the same questions, announcing to everyone the answers that her fiancee provided. This can result in some flattering surprises for the bride, and if a question is particularly interesting or controversial, gives her the chance to tell anecdotes.What is James’s biggest pet peeve?What aspect of your personality used to annoy James, but he likes now?
How to Choose Your Questions
Make sure you don’t lose sight of your guests and the type of gathering you’re planning.Bridal showers tend to be more reserved events, as compared to bachelorette parties.If the guests are not intimate friends of the bride, or at least in her age group, it may be best to omit explicit or intensely personal questions.If the answer to any given question would make you blush around your boyfriend or husband’s grandmother, then don’t make your friend suffer that embarrassment.You need to strike a balance with your topics, not making anyone uncomfortable – or bored, either. If your looking for some exciting things for your shower try homemade baby shower favors, baby shower sayings for cake or baby shower favors.
Think of some Good Prizes!
When deciding on prizes, again, take into consideration the theme and tone of the event, as well as your guests’ tastes.All of the following options are quite inexpensive.If your party is more on the “calm” side, your prizes should be romantic without being vulgar – a shimmery body cream or a pair of pretty briefs.On the other hand, if the party is more on the provocative side, your prizes can match – perhaps thongs or massage oil.
Trivia games let you save money and still show the bride and her guests a great time.
