How to Play

Bridal Bingo

Needed:

A print out of the PDF
One copy per guest

Prior to the party, come up with the categories you believe will cover the gifts your Bride will be receiving. This is a good time to brainstorm with other bridesmaids. Some examples are Bath & Body, Boudoir, Kitchen, Gift Certificates, etc. You get the idea. Just make sure you take a good look at the list and find anything that's too similar and combine them. For example, you may not want to have a Bath & Body category and a Bathroom category. Most bathroom items will fit into Bath & Body.

Once you have all of your categories finalized, write them on a poster board large and clear so that everyone in the room is going to be able to read them without getting up. At the party, instruct the guests to randomly write categories in each of the empty Bingo boxes. Point out that just like in real Bingo, every one has a free spot and you win by completing a line vertically, horizontally, or one of the two diagonals.

As the bride opens her gifts, the Maid of Honor (this is probably you) decides which category from the poster board the present matches. The MOH has final say, so if it's debatable, everyone has to mark as she sees fit. I like to allow for two Bingos, but if you have extra prizes, you may want to allow a few more.
