When you’re planning a bridal shower, coming up with games and activities is essential. "How Well Do You Know the Bride" is an easy, fun, and cost-free choice. This competitive task will pit the guests against one another in a battle to determine who is the bride’s best friend.

Up for the challenge? If you’re ready to give it a try, we’ve got you covered. Within this guide, we will explain how to set up and play the game, plus serve up question examples. 

How to Play "How Well Do You Know the Bride?"

You don’t need any special equipment or props to play this game. Simply flex your creative muscles and get to work. Here’s how to get started. 

Step 1: Create a List of 20 Questions

The first step is simple: You need to come up with your questions. The things you ask should be varied and interesting. Try to come up with a few obvious questions, some funny questions, and some deep questions. Avoid tailoring the game to yourself and make it as general as you can. 

Step 2: Prep Your Question Sheet Early On

Before the bridal shower starts, make sure that you’ve prepped your question sheet. You should type up all the questions (feel free to add a cute design!) and then print out copies for the guests. 

Step 3: Hand Out the Sheets to the Guests

When the bridal shower is in full swing, hand out the question sheets. You might find that it’s easiest to put the printouts in the party bags. Tell the guests that they have to complete the sheets by the end of the event. Alternatively, you can host a quiz and have the guests answer the questions in real-time as teams. 

Step 4: Swap the Guests’ Answers

When all the attendees have answered the questions, it’s time to do some grading. Ask the guests to switch answer sheets with one another. 

Step 5: Ask the Bride the Questions

Now the fun starts! Get the bride up in front of the crowd and ask her the questions. As she is answering, each guest can mark the sheet in front of them. For every answer a guest gets right, they will get a point ... and so on. 

Step 6: Tally Up the Final Scores

Once you’ve asked the bride all of the questions, there’s nothing left to do but tally up the scores. Ask each of the guests to count how many points were scored on the sheet they have. Then, ask the graders to deliver the sheets back to their original owners.

Step 7: Give the Winner a Prize

When you have the final scores, give a shoutout to the winner. Having a prize ready for the highest-scoring player is a nice touch. You might want to get the winner some chocolates or even a bottle of bubbly.
