Tips for Choosing Bridal Party Games
- Custom tailor the games to the specific group
- Keep games short. As games get longer, people begin to lose interest.
- Don’t choose complex games. Games with complicated rules or instructions make people uninterested.
- Provide simple written instructions to players to help them understand the game.
- Use games to fill lulls in the party – don’t have all the games played at once.
