- 1). Use your computer and word processing program (such as Microsoft Word) to create these word games. After you have typed them up, print one for each guest and pass them out during the wedding shower.
- 2). Make a wedding word scramble. Come up with a list of 20 words associated with weddings. Number a page 1 to 20. Type in the first word with the letters rearranged in no particular order next to the number 1. Type a line next to the word so that guests can write out the correctly spelled word. To play, set a timer. The guest who correctly guesses the most words in the allotted time wins.
- 3). Type the bride's and groom's names at the top of the page in a large font. Make several numbered lines on the rest of the page. To play, set a timer and have guests spell as many words as they can, using letters from both names. Letters cannot be used more than once unless there are multiple instances of that letter in the names; for example, if the couple's names are William and Susan, words can contain two S's but only one M. The player who spells the most words during the time set wins the game.
- 4). Type a list of 10 to 20 headings. They can be anything you want. For example, one heading might be foods; a second might be cities; a third could be cars. Again, to play the game you will set a timer. Have the players write down a word that fits the heading using the first initial of the bride and/or groom. For example, if the couple is Brad and Angie, for foods someone might write "banana" and "asparagus." The player with the longest list is the winner.
- 5). Jot down a list of clichés. Try to come up with marriage-related ones, such as "the old ball and chain" or "A woman's work is never done." Type a numbered list on one side of the page (example: 1 to 10) and a lettered list on the opposite side (example: A to J). Split the clichés in half, putting the first part next to a number and the second next to a letter, but not directly across from each other. Have guests draw a line to match the correct clichés to their "better halves." The winner is the one who makes the most matches during the allotted time.
