What is a "He Said, She Said" Bridal Shower Game?
This game relies on the bride and groom's differing perspectives on their relationship. Before the shower, you'll need to interview the groom (or significant other) and ask him a series of fun and revealing questions about his relationship with the bride. Then, during the shower, the bride answers the same questions. Guests compare the answers, highlighting the hilarious discrepancies and creating a fun, interactive experience for everyone involved.
How to Plan the Perfect "He Said, She Said" Game
Here's a step-by-step guide to help you create a memorable "He Said, She Said" game for your bridal shower:
1. Choosing the Right Questions
The key to a successful game is asking engaging and funny questions. Consider a mix of lighthearted and slightly more personal questions to get a range of responses. Avoid anything too sensitive or embarrassing. Here are some examples:
- Lighthearted: "Who's the better cook?" "Who's more likely to forget an anniversary?" "Who's the messier one?" "Who's the better dancer?" "Who initiated the first kiss?"
- Slightly More Personal: "What's your partner's favorite way to spend a weekend?" "What's one thing your partner does that drives you crazy (in a good way)?" "What's your partner's biggest pet peeve?" "What's your partner's biggest dream?" (Remember to keep it appropriate!)
Remember to tailor the questions to the couple's personalities and relationship. Consider inside jokes or shared experiences for an extra layer of fun.
2. Interviewing the Groom (or Partner)
Before the shower, discreetly interview the groom (or partner) and record his answers. You can do this via phone call, email, or even in person – whatever method is easiest. Make sure the answers are clearly written down.
3. The Bridal Shower Game
During the shower, present each question to the bride. After she answers, reveal the groom's answer. Guests can keep score to see who's the most accurate at guessing the groom's responses. You can award a small prize for the guest who gets the most answers correct.
4. Presentation & Prizes
For a fun visual, create a presentation with the questions and answers. You can use a whiteboard, PowerPoint, or even just write the questions and answers on cards. Have small prizes on hand for guests who guessed correctly. The small prizes can be inexpensive, yet meaningful items like candy, small beauty products, or even gift cards.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How many questions should I include?

What if some guests don't know the groom?
That's fine! The fun is in the guessing and the reveal of the answers. It adds to the playful element of discovering the couple's dynamics.
