Bra Pong
Are you ready to bring some serious fun to your next bridal shower with a game guaranteed to have everyone in stitches? Let’s talk about Bra Pong–a hilariously cheeky twist on the classic game of beer pong that’s perfect for bridal showers or bachelorette parties. Here’s how to set up this hilarious bridal shower game.
What you need:
- A large board
- Bras in a variety of sizes, colors, and styles
- Nails to secure the bras to the board
- Ping pong balls
How to set it up:
1. Attach the bras to the board. You can organize them in rows or arrange them randomly to make the game more challenging. Space the bras out enough so each cup is a separate target.
2. Set your board up at a comfortable height, either by hanging it on a wall or leaning it up against something. Make sure the board is stable – we wouldn’t want your masterpiece to tumble mid-game!
How to play:
1. Split your guests into teams. If you’re feeling extra, give the teams fun names like “Bridal Bustiers” vs. “Wedding Wonders.”
2. Players take turns tossing the ping pong balls into the bra cups from a designated distance. Each bra cup can be assigned different points based on difficulty.
3. Decide on a target score to determine the winning team or play within a set time limit and see who racks up the most points.
4. The team with the highest score wins. You can have special prizes for the winners.

Oven Mitts and Pantyhose Game
Get ready for a game that will have everyone LTAO! This hilariously challenging game is a fantastic addition to any bridal shower, bringing a mix of competition and pure comedy. It’s all about speed, dexterity, and the comical struggle of doing something seemingly simple under ridiculous conditions.
What you need:
- Pantyhose: Not just one pair – you’ll need several, depending on how many guests you have
- Oven mitts: Each player or team will need a pair
- Timer: To keep track of time and add pressure to the game
Setting up:
There’s minimal setup involved, which is great for a game this entertaining. Just make sure you have enough space for your guests to move around a bit, as things might get a little wild!
How to play:
- Decide if you want to play this game in teams or have each person compete individually. Teams can make it more collaborative and add strategy to the mix.
- The objective is simple–players must put on a pair of pantyhose while wearing oven mitts on their hands. But as you can guess, what sounds simple becomes hilariously difficult, with oven mitts sabotaging every attempt.
- On “Go,” each player or team attempts to pull on the pantyhose using only their mitt-covered hands. The catch? They have to get both legs in and pull the pantyhose up to at least knee-high.
- Use the timer to track how long it takes each player or team to complete the task. The fastest time wins, or you can make it even more challenging by setting a time limit and seeing who can get the furthest in that time frame.
