We’ve come up with a really fun game to play at the shower that’s a little different than the usual standard bridal shower party game.

Guess the Celebrity Bride Game

Supplies:

• Bridal Magazines
• Magazines with celebrity pictures (like People, US, Entertainment Weekly)
• Scrapbook paper
• Glue
• Scissors
• Paper and pencils for the bridal shower guests

Directions:

For me, making this game was ridiculous amounts of fun. When you take a look at the “Celebrity Brides” we came up with, I think you’ll see why.

1. Look through the celebrity magazines and find a variety of celebrity heads of all sizes, male and female, looking in all different directions. Just quickly cut out the heads and lay them out on your work surface where you can see them.

2. Flip through the bridal magazines and find pictures of brides with head sizes similar to the head sizes of the celebrity heads you’ve already cut out. Through trial and error, lay the celebrity heads over the bride heads until you find one that strikes your fancy.

3. Carefully cut out the FACE ONLY of the celebrity. Cut off the hair so only the actual face is left. Glue the face on top of the bride’s face.

4. Cut out the new celebrity bride and glue onto some pretty scrapbook paper. You can put several per page like we did, or put each on a separate page if you’d prefer. Number the brides.

5. Now all that’s left is to have the guests test their celebrity bride knowledge. The guest with the most correct answers is the winner and gets a prize.

So just for fun, here are the ‘Celebrity Brides’ we’ll be using for our shower tomorrow. See how many you get right. **Spoiler Alert** If you are attending this shower tonight, please step away from this post. (Answers are at the bottom.)

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?

#1 Who is this celebrity?

* 2 Who is this celebrity?

# 3 Who is this celebrity?

# 4 Who is this celebrity?

# 5 Who is this celebrity?

# 6 Who is this celebrity?

# 7 Who is this clelbrity?

# 8 Who is this celebrity?

# 9 Who is this celebrity?

# 10 Who is this celebrity?

# 11 Who is this celebrity?

#12 Who is this celebrity?

# 13 Who is this celebrity?

#14 Who is this celebrity?

# 15 Who is this celebrity?

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…

Popcorn tub from the dollar store with popcorn and candy. Cute, easy and inexpensive!

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.

Flushed Away

House Bunny

Spice World

Sunshine Cleaning

21

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…

#1 Angelina Jolie, #2 Robert Pattinson, #3 Heidi Klum, #4 Christian Bale, #5 Katie Holmes, #6 George Clooney,

#7 Nicole Kidman, #8 Alec Baldwin, #9 Hillary Duff, #10 Zac Efron, # 11 Gweneth Paltrow, #12 Brad Pitt,
