The bride’s mother or grandmother can bring her a nappy or bib, a school friend can get along a notebook, if the concerned guest met the bride in the playground then she can get a ball, if she met the bride at a beach she can bring a sun tan lotion.

When all the guests have arrived place all the items in a box or vase in the room. Now ask the bride to pick up the items one by one. As she picks up an item she can guess who bought the item and why. She or the guest can then narrate how they met the bride for the first time.. The bride too can speak about the person who has brought the item. The bride will next pick up another item and again try to guess who brought it. All the assembled guests will hear another story. As the game progresses you will see smiles and tears as several incidents and memories are released in a flood

Next place all the gifts along with the best wishes in the well or basket. At the end of the shower present the well to the bride. She can read all the best wishes aloud or read them at her leisure.

The guests are asked to vote which is the best veil. Voting can be done either by raising their hands or through slips of paper. The creator of the best veil is declared the winner. The guests can also give their vote for other categories like the most outrageous veil, the funniest veil, the most charming veil and the most original veil just for fun.

All you need to play this interesting game is a huge fancy bouquet, a cd which has romantic numbers and arrangement for music. Wait till all the guests have arrived. Now arrange chairs in a circle. Ask all the guests to stand in a circle next to the seats. Now bring the bouquet to the center of the room. Give instructions to all players. When the music begins the guests have to pass the bouquet to each other. When the music stops the person who is holding the bouquet is out of the game and is required to sit down. When the music restarts the bouquet is passed again from one guest to another. Another guest sits down when the music stops. The game continues in this way.

Now start the game by switching on the music and watch the fun. The music should be romantic or play a love song. The person who remains standing till the end of the game is declared the winner. Once the game is over you can present the bouquet and cd of love songs to the bride.

The advise can be anything like do not lose your cool, shoulder your responsibilities give love, shower your husband with warmth and understanding, learn to balance your home and your work etc. Some advice can be droll like make sure you are the captain of the ship, never make love with your clothes on, do not stray from the straight but narrow path of wedded bliss, etc. When the basket is full you can take out each piece of folded paper and read the secret for happiness aloud. Everyone tries to guess who wrote the advice. There are no winners in this game. As each advice is being read there are smiles and tears. The basket can later be gifted to the bride.

Wait till all the guests have taken their seats. Now announce that if the person with a gift is caught crossing her legs in the entire course of the party by another guest she will have to relinquish her gift to the one who catches her. Once you make this announcement everyone watches each other like hawks. Most people tend to forget the rule and end up crossing their legs thus forfeiting their gift.

If the person, who catches, is without a gift she gains one. If on the other hand the guest who plays detective already has a gift she may exchange her gift or give the extra gift to a person without a gift. After the game everyone opens their gifts and have lots of fun.
