What is Bridal Shower Bingo?

Bridal Shower Bingo is, as the name suggests, a form of bingo which is popular at parties held to celebrate somebody's impending wedding.

Friends of the bride-to-be organise a gathering of her closest people and all sit down to a special game of bingo.

It works with each guest being given a card which instead of containing numbers, is filled with words related to weddings and marriage.

The hostess can then either call out the words from a sheet or write them on pieces of paper, place them into a bag or hat and then pull them out randomly.

Each participant then crosses out or covers the word if it is present on their card, with the winner the first to call out "bingo".

The hostess then checks the card to make sure all the words have been found.
