I am hosting a bridal shower in July for a wedding that is to be held in Sept. 1st question - should I decorate in the fall theme (like the wedding) or do something else? 2nd question - I need some bridal shower game ideas. I found one online that I cant locate anymore - it involved coming up with celebrity married couples on tv (ie: who was al bundy's wife?) but I need to get all the info. Any clues?!
HELP!

I would do some other color combo for the shower. It could be a little more adventurous than the wedding colors, or a little more subtle if the wedding colors will be bold. For example, my wedding colors are celadon/sage green with touches of cream and lilac as accent colors. My bridesmaids are throwing me a shower with my other favorite color combo, pink and mocha with touches of white (think Neapolitan ice-cream). It's a little bolder than I could pull off for my very formal wedding, and it's fun and girly. Plus, all the shower favors will be chocolates and candies in those colors, and the invitations are striped in mocha and pink. It will be nice for your friends guests to see a different color palette at the shower. As far as games, I personally never liked them, but I found a cool one that matches my personality:

It's a scratch off lottery-type ticket. Whoever gets the prince, gets a prize. I liked it a lot since I love to gamble, and also it's a quick. easy game. The worst showers I have been to are the ones that have a zillion games (Bridal Shower Bingo was the absolute worst!). I think people mostly want to eat and talk and watch the bride open her gifts. By the way, is this the game you are looking for?

A fun game that I played was to fill in the blanks of a story about the bride and groom with household items like dishwashing liquids, cleaners and paper products. Think Mad Libs! The game is a lot of fun and if you're really prepared you can get those products for the bride.
A game like the clothespin game mentioned above is to make "bride" or "marriage" or "wedding" or any iteration of them the secret word. The person with the most pins at the end of the shower wins.
Don't forget to collect the bows and ribbons from the gifts so the bride has a bouquet for the rehearsal.
Another activity that was done for my shower that was really cool was to have all the attendees write a note about marriage for the bride-to-be.
As for colors, go with something similar to the bride's colors; lighter or darker are fine.

We did some fun and cheap ones at mine. We gave everyone a clothespin to attach anywhere that was visible and the only way to lose was to cross a body part, arms, legs, ankles, etc. If you saw someone cross something you got up and took their clothespin. The last person with a clothespin won a prize. We also did groups of three or four making toilet paper wedding dresses, the bride picked out the best. As far as decorating goes you can do whatever you want but, you may want to at least stick with the wedding colors. Good luck and have fun!!

The key to bridal bathe video games is: one million. Keep them brief and candy. two. Teams/pairs paintings quality, to preserve persons speakme and interactive. three. Dont do too many video games. three will have to be adequate. For instance, Bridal BINGO is absolutely the worst recreation ever! Who desires to mark on sheet at any time when the bride opens a reward? Zzzzz.. Look for video games which are brief and allow persons speak. Put a few songs approximately love on an iPod speaker and placed the females in pairs. Whoever can identify essentially the most songs through their right identify (or artist) is the winner. Another one, is somewhat ridiculous, however its all in well a laugh. Put the females in 2 groups and deliver every workforce a few rest room paper or paper towels and tape. Each workforce designs a get dressed, which one workforce member units. Basically you wrap the paper across the mannequin to get your favored layout. Whichever get dressed the bride likes larger is the winner. Sorry I dont have extra ideas for you. Hope this is helping you uncover a few well ones regardless that.

1st question... this isn't the wedding. It's the shower, so go with a summer theme. A fall theme in July would be be inappropriate. Secondly, please rethink " games". They are so 1970's. Just have everyone relax, enjoy great food,drinks, and watch the bride open her gifts.

I hate shower games. They are crass and cheesy. Think of something else.
