While bingo parlours, halls and online bingo sites have captured the hearts of so many players worldwide, bingo can actually be used at family gatherings and on special occasions.
Bridal shower bingo is a popular way to have fun, and has become a favourite game, so you can now actually buy bridal shower bingo cards. You can also find them on the Internet and print them out for your own use. For a good game of bingo, have enough cards for each guest, with a few extra ones on hand. Instead of numbers, words are used in bridal shower bingo, which are generally associated with weddings and romance. The typical card will have words like love, marriage, gifts, jokes, babies and bouquets printed in the squares.
The cards will have the standard free space in the middle of the card and the game is played like regular bingo. The first person to cover their words and yell “Bingo!” wins. It is a far cry from the old safety pin game, and winners get party favours as jackpots.
The idea can be adapted to other occasions as well. Birthdays, anniversary celebrations or seasonal holidays can all be incorporated into a bingo card for a versatile, new twist on a party game. It is especially good for mixed company parties, where both men and women have been invited.
Using the traditional bingo card in a new and innovative way may make your party the one everyone is talking about the day after.
