ShareThisQ. I don't want everyone to just be sitting around staring at me as I open up presents at my bridal shower. What other ways can I make it fun and entertaining?
A. Shower games are usually a hit, and they distract guests from ''sitting around staring'' while they focus on winning a prize. So spread out the gift opening by playing games in between gifts.
Bridal-shower bingo is a traditional favorite, but there are endless options of other games if you prefer something else. A cute, more personalized idea is to have guests predict what is in the box that you are opening. If they are correct, they win a prize. Everyone will love being involved!
