Staches and Tiaras: a bridal shower game {FREE printable}

mustache
i can't believe "wedding season" is almost here! yay! if you're looking for a Bridal Shower game, here's a fun one for you! it's a spin on "His and Hers".


last weekend i helped a friend throw a Bridal Shower. my job was to come up with a game to play. i wanted to do something a little different and fun. and this is what i came up with, a little game called:
Staches and Tiaras 
what's not love about a mustache? haha

staches and tiaras
here's how to play:
  1. before the shower, i had The Bride and The Groom answer the same set of questions. i then picked out 1 of the 2 answers for each question to use in the game. {scroll down to see the questions i used}
  2. then at the shower, i passed out to each guest a stache and a tiara on a popsicle stick. 
  3. i read a question and then told them 1 answer {either the bride or the groom's answer}. 
  4. guests indicated whose answer they thought it was by holding up a mustache {to their top lip!} for the groom or a tiara {on their head!} for the bride.
  5. for a couple of the questions, the bride and groom answered the exact same. so if guests thought both The Bride and The Groom answered the same, they could hold up both the mustache and the tiara {which i have to say, the ladies looked hilarious doing this!!} 
 staches and tiaras was a fun game to play and helped break the ice for everyone!

these are the questions i used. but you could come up with all kinds of other fun ones!

i cut out the tiaras and mustaches with my Silhouette {love my Silhouette!}and then attached them to Popsicle sticks. {both the staches and tiaras measure 4" wide}

now i know not all of you have a digital cutting tool, so i whipped up a couple FREE printables for you to use if you want to play this game! :)
these are two different printables that you can print out and put onto popsicle sticks{when you download the files, they will not have my watermark}

  2. This is such a fun game idea! We have a tradition for baby showers at our church to do a video of the dad-to-be answering questions about fatherhood, etc. The questions are read aloud at the shower and the mom-to-be will give her answer, then the guests try to guess if their answers will be the same or different. Once the guests have guessed (on paper) we play the dad's answer to that question. It can be pretty funny - usually depending on the dad. ;-)

  4. This game is so cute and sounds fun too. Sometimes it's nice to throw something new in the mix other than the typical ones. Love it.
