DIY Bridal Shower Game

Need ideas on how to make your bridal shower more fun and interactive? Having a variety of games planned for your guests to break the ice and bond is always a great idea! In this DIY, we explain how to create a simple “Guess the Dress” bridal shower game for your guests to play right at the table.

Things you will need:

Diamond Pens

Guess The Dress Cards (Find ours HERE)

Your choice of Ribbon, Twine, or Rope  

Putting it all together:

Print your Guess The Dress game cards on cardstock. If you want a more rustic look you can also print them on kraft paper. We recommend the cards be about 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″. Click this link to download our free printable template! To tie in the bridal details make sure you have Diamond Pens that your guests can use to play the game.

Wrap ribbon (or any thin wrapping material) around the pen and game cards. Then create a bow and place the pen through the knot of the bow. This will help it stay secured onto the card.

Once tied, the cards are ready to place at each seat for your guests to play. Players can sketch the dress directly on the card (what we did), or write out their guesses on the style, shape, length, and texture of the dress. Here are our game results:

We highly recommend doing this easy bridal shower game. It is so simple to make & will get your guests excited about the dress you wear on the big day! Put some twists on it by giving subtle hints, having them also guess the accessories with the dress, awarding the closest guesser a prize, etc. Anyone can participate, even the little ones. Plus, your party will be able to take the Diamond Pens home as a keepsake from the bridal shower.

DIY Pearl Accessories For The Bride

Are you looking for a quick way to spice up your wedding accessories? Whether it is for your bridal shower or bachelorette party, we have some ideas you’ll love! The best part is you only need ONE thing– pearl stickers! These add so much charm and shine to any outfit, hence why they are super popular (especially for brides) right now!

We found our adhesive pearls on Amazon, but similar products should be available at your local arts and crafts store! Stay on trend by adding pearl stickers to your favorite accessories & items:

Idea 1: DIY Pearl Bride Sunglasses

Grab a pair of our Bride Sunglasses and have your pearl stickers ready. All that’s left to do is peel and stick! Place the pearls all over the sunglasses’ frame or in select areas. The pearls will radiate a shimmery glow in all of the photos you take throughout the engagement shoot, bachelorette party, photo booth, and other celebrations. The bride will always be able to stand out while wearing these.

Idea 2. DIY Pearl Cat Eye Sunnies

Want a similar look using our Plain Cat Eye Sunglasses instead? Follow the same steps as listed above and you’ll have elevated Sunnies in no time. Since there is no “bride” label on these, you can wear them after the wedding as well! They are the perfect accessory for any bridal outfit!

Idea 3: DIY Pearl Veil

Last year TikTok went CRAZY for the viral pearl veil that our WedFav bride @its.kasie wore on her wedding day. We put our own twist on the trend and added pearls to our Personalized Mrs. Veil. You can add as many of the pearl stickers to the veil as you’d like. Depending on the adhesive of the stickers it might also help to add a dab of glue to secure them on more. This is the perfect accessory to wear at your bridal shower, bachelorette party, or rehearsal dinner. The subtle elegance of the pearls will give your veil the extra flair you are looking for.  

Just like that, you will have newly adorned, unique items at your fingertips. These DIY pearl accessories are so versatile as you can do this with most items in the comfort of your home. Incorporate pearls in other bridal items like your wedding favors or bridesmaid gifts! This is a great idea for DIY brides who do not have a lot of time to spare as it only takes minutes. Feel free to try any of these ideas out for your upcoming party!

Boho Bridal Shower Idea

We love all things boho-inspired & our bride Adriana did not disappoint with her bridal shower decor! We were so honored that she incorporated our pieces on her special day, especially since she’s been with us since her bridesmaid proposals. Now, we’re sharing a closer look of her backyard bridal shower to give you some decoration inspo!

Theme & Decor

A rustic wooden backdrop that included an “Almost Mrs.” sign, created by @_mikbydesign, was the first thing guests saw when entering. It made the perfect photo-op for guests to take pictures with the bride-to-be. In addition, the bridal shower incorporated warm neutral tones, unique textures, and mixed florals paired with cushions and balloons to tie the theme together. Throughout the event, subtle signage adorned the entrance, gift table, and mimosa bar.

Seating & Florals 

Guests were able to enjoy each other’s company while being seated around a long white table decorated with rustic decor. Starting off, the decorative plates and beautiful floral arrangements by @prettylilthingslb, made the perfect table setting for the special occasion. A mixture of fresh and dried flower arrangements, which sat along the table, further enhanced the boho decorations. Ultimately, our favorite touch was the large wicker chair at the head of the table for the bride-to-be. It was a gorgeous addition to the shower, and very on-trend for the theme. 

Drinks & Food

Bridal showers aren’t complete without the sweet treats! Adriana had such a yummy dessert table that had a little something for everyone. From donuts to mini-tiramisus, @riassweetsandcatering stole the show with their intricate desserts. They even made a personalized charcuterie board that spelled out “Future Mrs Alvarez” in cheese! All the desserts were displayed on various wooden boards surrounded by eucalyptus stems which complimented the boho theme. Together with the hors-d’oeuvres was a Bubbly Bar station where guests could create their own mimosas with a mixture of fruits & juices.

Bride-To-Be OOTD

You can’t forget about the bride! Adriana was wearing a white two-piece outfit with matching heels for a stylish bride-to-be look! She accessorized her look with our Bride Headband and Personalized Veil. In addition, she threw on our Personalized Fringe Jacket with her new last name. She slayed the look, to say the least. 😍

If you decide to incorporate our pieces in your bridal shower, make sure to tag us on Instagram! We love seeing our products in action. Again, congrats to the lovely couple Mr. & Mrs. Alvarez and thank you to Adriana & her photographer @lizztinphoto for letting us feature her bridal shower.

The “new normal” is still changing so here are some ideas to plan an intimate bridal shower with your closest gals.

(Psst… there’s a special surprise so make sure you read till the end!)

Keep the Bridal Shower Intimate

Regardless of everything going on, many brides are still following through with their events (with safety precautions of course!) and we LOVE to see it. One key way to do this is by keeping your events intimate and COVID friendly. It’s the best way to go to ensure everyone’s safety and comfort. But don’t get us wrong – planning a small party doesn’t mean you have to cut down the fun! Being with your closest friends and families will result in a small gathering with BIG memories to be made. 

Bridal Shower Details for the WIN

Make your bridal shower stand out by paying attention to the details. It makes a world of a difference and doesn’t take as much effort as you think! Create anticipation for your fun soirée by picking out perfect invitations. Make sure it aligns with your theme & colors! There are LOTS of options out there, so skip the Googling and say hello to our friends at Peach Wolfe Paper Co. They make insanely cute invitations for just about any theme. Who would’ve thought that invitations could be so exciting and fun!?

Did Someone Say Mimosas?!

*Clink Clink!* What’s the best thing about brunch besides the food?… That’s right, bottomless mimosas!! Planning a bridal brunch just might be our favorite idea yet. 😉 Sitting around enjoying good food with your favorite pals sounds like a perfect time, don’t you think?

Brunch is not only easier to plan, but who doesn’t like a good mid-day breakfast! Just make sure you balance the savory with some sweets, like this beautiful statement cake from Catie Cakes.

Create a Beautiful Bridal Brunch Setting

Create your own unique bridal shower venue by finding an amazing rental company. Your backyard will be transformed into a beautiful scenery with lovely tables, matching linens, and cute seating. For decorations, all you need are some beautiful floral arrangements to tie everything together. Less is more, ladies! Let the floral arrangements stand out and create a gorgeous setting for your bridal brunch.

Time To Accessorize

Our absolute favorite thing about dressing up for bridal events is accessorizing, & yes, it is necessary! Future Wifeys: after you plan your outfit, make sure to add something that shows off your new status! Our Wifey Denim Jacket is super cute & easy to style with any look. A simple way to feel extra special (You deserve it!) during the party. Plus, you get great photos afterward. Do we need to say more?

Don’t forget about the guests! We always love it when you can incorporate everyone at the event for a little matching picture moment. A simple way to get the perfect group photo op is with our super cute Bride & Babe Heart Sunglasses. You can even use them as favors to decorate the plate settings!
