FREE PRINTABLE BRIDAL SHOWER MEMORY GAME

Ahhhh memory games, they used to be so much fun when we were younger right?! Well, I’ll let you in on a little secret my friend…they’re still pretty dam fun! Today we’re sharing our very own memory game that we’ve designed for a bridal shower (even kids can get involved!) and the great news is you can download it for free right here!

YOU WILL NEED:

A Printer // White paper or card // Colourful card // Craft glue // Printable bridal shower game //

Making this game is SUPER easy, I’m not even sure it warrants naming any ‘steps’. All you need to do is download the template above and print the squares out onto white paper or card then cut them out. If you want the make the game a little more colourful or tie it in with a theme you can glue the squares onto some coloured card (I used pink) so that when they’re turned over they look super pretty! Job done!

The best news is that this game matches our bridal shower photo booth props PERFECTLY so if you want to create a bridal shower that all ties in nicely together (whilst also getting some super fun photos of your gal pals!) then you can download our props below!

So if you’re not familiar with memory games then here’s the low down. Once you’ve got the cards ready you need to mix them up and arrange them face down on the table. Then, turn two cards at a time to see if they match. If they do match then you can leave them facing up or take them away, if not turn them back over and keep going!

HOW TO ROCK A BOHO URBAN WEDDING

I’ve said it many times before, but we love to feature styled shoots on our blog. Yes, they can sometimes seem unrealistic, but personally, I think they are a great source of inspiration and can be super helpful for a number of other reasons too like…

Finding suppliers and assessing their suitability and skills
Inspiring creativity
Discovering the ‘little details’ that would sometimes get forgotten
Guide brides and grooms on how to achieve a certain theme or style

And our recent survey found that although styled shoots were the 4th most popular feature on our blog, we were certainly asked a lot of questions about them, the main one being how we can make them more helpful? So these past few weeks we have been working hard to make them more informative and we would love to know what your think so far?

Is there anything else we can do to make the styled shoots we feature here, even better?

With all that being said today we have another fabulous styled shoot to share with you today, complete with a guide on how to rock a boho urban wedding from Anna, creative director at Rose Paper Scissors & Natalie from Private Dining Experience.

MAKE THIS FUN DIY POM POM VEIL!

Today’s DIY is all about the fun factor! This pom pom veil would be perfect to make for a bride to be ready for that hen party or bridal shower!

Forget the cheesy sash’s and tiaras why not upgrade a veil into something far more fun and modern?! It’s no secret that pom poms are everywhere right now and we love the idea of incorporating them into a little bit of wedding fashion! (Especially when they’re as bright and colourful as these!)

And don’t get me wrong we still think this would look kick ass on a bride for her wedding day too! It’s beyond cute and the best news is that it really couldn’t be easier to make plus you only need a few items…

YOU WILL NEED:

A Veil // Pom Poms // A Glue Gun //

STEP 1:

Lay out your veil onto the floor and place the pom poms where you want them. I place three onto the clip and then varied the rest throughout the veil making sure that no two pom poms of the same colour were too close to each other.

You can download the pack of games here!

Within the pack you’ll find 6 different games for you to print out and let your gal pals fill in!

Well…

There’s the ‘Advice for the bride’ card. More of a nice little keepsake for the bride than a game, but nevertheless a great printable to pop around the tables for people to fill in at their leisure then collect at the end! We always find these are super nice to stick into a guest book along with a bunch of photos from the party!

You’ll also find bridal bingo, kinda like the classic bingo but way more inventive! Hand out the cards and get the girls to fill in the squares what gifts they think the bride will receive, then overtime she opens that gift they can cross out that square! The first to get a line wins! Maybe you could offer an intensive with a fun prize for the winner!
