How to Play Bridal Shower Minute to Win It Games

For a bridal shower, you’ll want to decide if you are playing tournament style or just individual games. 

If you are playing tournament style, all players will play all of the games, collecting points for wins. After all the games have been played, the player with the most points gets a prize! 

If you just want to play a few games, have a prize for the winner of each game. 

Mostly, you just need the supplies, a timer, and some willing participants!
