17. Right And Left - This is one of my all time favorite bridal shower games! Either have everyone stay at their tables, or have everyone sit in a circle. Give one gift per table, or if you're in a circle, give 3 or 4 gifts depending on the amount of people! Tell the guests to listen closely to the story and to pass the gifts left or right whenever they hear it read. Whoever is holding the gift at the end, wins the gift!
