Directions
Another version of the classic bridal shower bingo game many people have played. The gift version is very popular since it is so random and it gives your guests something to do while the bride opens her presents.
Make a set of bingo cards with 25 empty spaces. Fill in the spaces with names of presents the bride may be getting instead of numbers (nightgown, blender, necklace, gift certificate, bubble bath, etc). You will need to make one bingo card for each guest playing, and make sure the gifts are randomly shuffled on each card. Many places have software you can use that will randomly create an unlimited number of bingo cards for you, so if you are not up to doing each one by hand, or you have more than a few guests, you many want to try that instead (see below).
As the bride opens her presents the guests can tick off the present on their bingo cards if they have it. The guest who gets a complete line filled in and has bingo first, wins.
Paid Version Option
If you have too many guests to make your own cards, or no time, for a small fee you can use the online Bingo Card Generator to make personalized game cards right on your own printer. There is nothing to download, their site does all the work for you. Within minutes you will be printing out your cards, even if it’s 100. It’s a nice option for those without the time, or who are doing a last minute party and need them ready now. Click Here to Check out Wedding Gift Bingo Card Generator for yourself.

Watching the bride open her gifts is even more fun with this simple shower game. Here are the rules.
Before the Shower:
Bridal Shower Bingo Games
Create blank Bingo cards - five columns and five rows - with the word “Bride” written at the top instead of “Bingo.” Before the bride-to-be opens her gifts, give each guest a card and ask them to fill in their squares with items they think she might receive. They can use the registry as a guide or guess off-registry items. Have them write their own gift in the center space in lieu of a “free space.”
At the ShowerAs the bride opens her gifts, guests can cross off any boxes containing items they guessed correctly. As with traditional Bingo, the first to cross off a full row, column, or diagonal of boxes is the winner!
