Bride Society

Bridal shower game No. 12 · Free

Drink If…

Her inner circle, love lives, the girls, then exposed.

"Drink if you knew the bride before she met her partner." Everyone taps That's Me or Not Me, the reveal shows who drank, and the next card is up. Four decks move from the bride's inner circle to everyone's love lives to fully exposed. It is the game that finds out who has known her longest.

How to play

Three steps
  1. 1

    The host picks a deck. Bride's Inner Circle is the one to start on.

  2. 2

    A "drink if" appears on the big screen. Everyone taps That's Me or Not Me.

  3. 3

    The reveal shows who is drinking. Sip, and on to the next.

Hosting tips

From real showers
  • Play Inner Circle first. It is a roll call of who has known her longest, and it gets the table talking.
  • Ask the bride to add five cards about specific nights out. Only the people who were there will drink.
  • Stop before the last deck if the mothers are still in the room.

Questions

Answered
Is this a bridal shower game or a bachelorette game?

Bachelorette, mostly. The first deck is gentle enough for a shower; the last deck is not.

Can we play without drinking?

Yes. Tap That's Me and sip anything, or play for points and let the scoreboard decide.

Can I add my own cards?

Yes. The editor takes any "drink if" line, and cards about specific nights out are the best ones.
