No matter what kind of party you’re having – tame or risqué – it’s likely you’re 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

One idea is to create a multiple-choice or short-answer quiz which you can hand out as people arrive for them to fill out at their leisure.You can ask bride-related questions (Did Anne have braces?What is Anne’s favorite television show?How old was Anne when she went on her first date?), or about the bride and groom (When did Anne and James meet?What did James bring as a gift on their first date? ). You may collect them at some point after everyone is present and then announce the winner, or (for a more entertaining experience), have everyone “grade” someone else’s quiz and then figure out the winner.

A Match Made in Heaven

You may also get together with the bride’s fiancée previous to the event, having him answer questions that she may also know the answers 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 fiancée provided.Often the bride will get to hear some surprising compliments, and the guests may get to hear anecdotes, especially if the questions are a bit scandalous or if she disagrees with her fiancée.Who did James go backpacking in Europe with?What did James first notice about you?

Deciding on the Right Questions

Remember to consider your guests and the type of event.Bachelorette parties are usually more provocative than bridal showers.The more “intense” questions should be shared only with the bride’s closer (in age or intimacy) friends.A question is probably too extreme if it’s something you would feel uncomfortable having your own mother-in-law knowing about - try not to put your friend in that position. The idea is to make sure everyone is having a good time – that is, neither bored nor uncomfortable with the topics. Some other awesome stuff for your shower might include free baby shower ideas, noah’s ark baby shower or baby shower games.

Cool Prizes

Remember, the theme of your party and the preferences of your guests should be considered when choosing prizes. The following options can all be purchased for less than ten dollars each, and often much cheaper.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.If your party is more on the wild side, you can get as explicit as you feel your guests will enjoy - scented condoms or flavored lubricant might be an option.

Trivia games let you save money and still show the bride and her guests a great time.
