Bridal shower

Bridal shower gift bingo

Guests mark off gifts as the bride opens them. Every card is shuffled differently, so it's a real race to five in a row. Keeps everyone watching through a long gift opening.

How to play

How to play shower bingo: a short video
  1. 1Give every guest a different card with a free centre square.
  2. 2As each gift is opened, or each phrase is said, the host calls the item.
  3. 3Guests mark called items on their card.
  4. 4The first guest with five in a row, across, down or diagonal, calls bingo and wins.

Running it for your group

A small group
With fewer than ten guests, play to a full card instead of five in a row, so it lasts the whole gift opening.
A big room
Print one card per guest, or let phones deal the cards. Have one person call items so nobody argues about what was opened.
Guests on a video call
Phones are the easy way: each remote guest gets their own card, and called items update for everyone at once.

The 30 items

Questions people ask

How does bridal shower bingo work?
Each guest gets a card of likely gifts. When the bride opens one, the host calls it, and the first to get five in a row wins.
Will every card be different?
Yes. Each card uses 24 of the 30 items in a different order around a free centre square.
Can we play this live instead of on paper?
Yes. Put the questions on a TV or laptop, guests join from their phones with a QR code, and the answers are revealed on the big screen with scores kept for you. It's free for up to 15 guests.
