Coffee Break with Liz and Kate

My daughters had a bridal shower for their friend this past week and it was so much fun (I know…you’re thinking the words “fun” and Bridal Shower” shouldn’t be used in the same sentence.)  But this one  actually was lots of fun.  The theme was – Movies.

OK readers…I challenge you to play my Guess the Celebrity game!

Guess the Celebrity Bride Game

We’ve glued heads of various celebrities to the bodies of models in bridal gowns.   Play along – see how many you get right!  Answers at the bottom of this post…but don’t cheat, ok?

How do you think you did? You can check your answers  at the bottom of this post.  This game can also be adapted to fit other types of parties by putting the celebrity head on other types of bodies.  The trick is to only use the face and NOT the hair – using the real hair makes it too easy.

The other game we played was Movie Love Songs.

Movie Love Songs Game

We  made a CD of 15 of our favorite love songs from movies…some easy, some hard.  The guests numbered a paper from 1 – 15 and then we played a clip from each song and they had to guess the movie it came from.  We also made copies of this CD to give to guests as their party favor.  You can make your cd using your favorite movie love songs.  Here’s a list of what was on our cd to get you started…

• Titanic – My Heart Will Go On
• Lion King – Can You feel the Love Tonight?
• Dirty Dancing - Time of My Life
• My Best Friend’s Wedding – Say a Little Prayer for You
• Sleeping Beauty – Once Upon a Dream
• Breakfast at Tiffany’s – Moonriver
• First Wives Club – You Don’t Own Me
• 50 First Dates -  Forgetful Lucy
• A Walk to Remember – Only Hope
• Grease – You’re the One that I Want
• Across the Universe - I’ve Just Seen a Face
• Hairspray – Without Love
• Click – Linger
• Twilight – Flawless Bird
• Pretty Woman – Pretty Woman

The prizes for the game winners were…

The Invitations…

The invitations were handmade by my daughters, but I’m sure that if you didn’t want to spend the time making invitations, you could find some suitable ones at the store.

The inside of the card says…

It’s a movie Bridal Shower!

Pick your favorite movie or just one that you really like, and get the bride-to-be items that go with the movie.  Say you like Breakfast at Tiffany’s – you might get her a waffle iron or pancake mixes or other breakfast type items.    Be creative.  Wrap your movie separately so she has to guess what the movie is based on the other gifts you bought to go with it.

Some of the gifts…

Here are a few of the clever gifts the guests brought to the shower.

This gift idea would also work for birthday parties,  Christmas parties, or  housewarming parties.

And now for the answers to the Guess the Celebrity Bride Game…
