Questions
- What music should I play at a bridal shower?
- Pick love songs from a few different decades, so your aunts and your friends each know some. Then add the couple's favorites and the songs from when they met. Try "A bridal shower: love songs from every decade".
- Is there a bridal shower game that uses the music?
- Try Tape Bingo. Everyone gets a card of things to spot in the music videos, on their phone or printed for the tables. Five in a row wins.
- Is a wedding shower the same as a bridal shower?
- Mostly. A wedding shower usually celebrates both people, and everyone's invited. Either way, a tape about the couple works: how they met, what they love, and love songs both families know.
