Ahhhh memory games, they used to be so much fun when we were younger right?! Well, I’ll let you in on a little secret my friend…they’re still pretty dam fun! Today we’re sharing our very own memory game that we’ve designed for a bridal shower (even kids can get involved!) and the great news is you can download it for free right here!
Making this game is SUPER easy, I’m not even sure it warrants naming any ‘steps’. All you need to do is download the template above and print the squares out onto white paper or card then cut them out. If you want the make the game a little more colourful or tie it in with a theme you can glue the squares onto some coloured card (I used pink) so that when they’re turned over they look super pretty! Job done!
The best news is that this game matches our bridal shower photo booth props PERFECTLY so if you want to create a bridal shower that all ties in nicely together (whilst also getting some super fun photos of your gal pals!) then you can download our props below!
So if you’re not familiar with memory games then here’s the low down. Once you’ve got the cards ready you need to mix them up and arrange them face down on the table. Then, turn two cards at a time to see if they match. If they do match then you can leave them facing up or take them away, if not turn them back over and keep going!
If you’re playing this with a group, which you would be at a bridal shower then simply take it in turns! This makes things more tricky because by the time you’re turn comes back around you could have forgotten where your last card was or someone else could have taken it already! Fun right?! The person who gets the most matches wins! Happy playing ya’ll! xx
