May 13 2004 -- “100+ WEDDING GAMES: Fun & Laughs for Bachelorette Parties, Showers, & Receptions” is featured on Bowker’s Recommended List this month. R.R. Bowker is the leading authority on books in print in North America. The best-selling wedding party book contains 130 pages worth of bachelorette party games and pranks, shower games and activities, and reception games. 100+ WEDDING GAMES is unique among bridal shower books in its sheer variety and quantity of fun shower games.
It’s wedding season and bridesmaids may find their budgets a little tighter after buying a dress (or two), shoes, and a new do. For less than the cost of a quick dinner, 100+ WEDDING GAMES makes an unique and affordable gift for that soon-to-be-married gal pal. This paperback is stuffed with wild and mild shower games for a traditional mom and daughter shower, the increasingly popular Jack and Jill shower, or an impromptu bash. The book’s index conveniently lists games appropriate to each of these parties. And most of these games require little to no preparation before the fun can begin.
One of the most crowd-pleasing shower games from 100+ WEDDING GAMES is called Shoe-In. The Bride and Groom sit back to back while holding one of their own shoes and one of their partner’s shoes. The party attendees take turns asking the couple questions like “Who drives the fastest?” or “Whose cooking is better?” The couple answers at the same time by holding up the representative shoe. The goal is for the couple to get as many matching answers as possible. “This fun game of footsie gets everybody involved and learn something about the sole-mates.” grins the book’s author Joan Wai. But what to do if the Groom is not, ahem, afoot? Draft a close friend or mom-of-the-bride to play opposite the Bride.
A couple planning to marry only once (hopefully) may ask why they would need over 100 games to choose from. The bubbly author’s reply is an eye-opening one, “After the shower, there’s still the bachelorette party or the morning after brunch or any variety of gatherings that come with a wedding. A festive occasion can always be spiced up with a clever game or two.” And hang onto that book after the wedding--the couple will want to go back to it for an anniversary party. “How sweet and romantic would it be to have the bride and groom play the game, that had everybody laughing so hard they were in tears at the wedding, again a year later at their anniversary?” asks Joan. Sounds like another book may not be too far away...
