Tropical themed bridal showers need games.
When you're planning a wedding shower with a theme, make sure every aspect of the shower coordinates, including the games. For a shower with a tropical theme you need tropical drinks, tropical decor and tropical table settings. When it comes to entertainment, tropical games are a must. Put a tropical twist on traditional wedding shower games, or come up with your own tropical themed games.
Hawaiian Mingle
To ensure your guests mingle incorporate one of your tropical shower games into a meet-and-greet. Buy name tags prior to the shower, write a Hawaiian phrase on each name tag and include the English translation underneath the phrase. Have each guest choose a name tag to wear around the party, and write her name above the Hawaiian phrase. Ask guests to mingle and introduce themselves to one another. Start the games by asking each guest to remove her name tag. Pass out a pre-typed list of the Hawaiian phrases or words on each name tag without including the English translation. Give your guests a writing utensil and one minute to translate each Hawaiian word or phrase, using their memory of meeting each guest to remember the translation on each name tag. The guest with most correct translations is the winner.
Tropical Pictionary
Set up a large easel or chalkboard and divide your guests into two teams for a game of Pictionary. To make the game meet your tropical theme, make each of the drawings tropical. To play, your guests will draw a piece of paper from a bowl with a word on it; each will then attempt to draw that word on the paper while her team tries to guess what she's drawing. She's not allowed to provide hints or speak at all. Make sure each picture is a tropical picture by having your guests draw pictures of bathing suits, surfboards, palm trees and other tropical items.
Tropical Wedding Attire
A traditional wedding shower game involves asking guests to team up and create a wedding dress out of toilet paper. Each team chooses a model and has a time limit to create the most inventive and fun wedding gown for the model out of only toilet paper. Put a tropical spin on this game by having your guests design their own hula outfit on their models using toilet paper. Put on a fashion show when time is up and choose the winner based on who has the most creative, fun and hilarious hula getup of all.
Tacky Tropical Tourist Game
No matter which tropical destination you visit, you are bound to encounter at least one of those tourists whose apparel makes you laugh out loud --- tropical print shirts with mismatched bathing suit bottoms, socks with flip flops and the ever-present fanny pack will do that to a person. When you mail shower invitations to each guest, include a little note card in the invitation asking everyone to wear or bring their most horrendous, tackiest Hawaiian print shirt or tropical tourist outfit to the shower. Ask guests to don their tacky tropical outfit and model it for the rest of the guests, letting the bride take control and be the judge of each outfit. At the end of the tacky tourist fashion show, ask the bride to announce which of her friends or family members is the tackiest one of all; that person wins a prize.
