What is Bride Bingo?
Bridal Bingo is a classic wedding-themed game where each square on the bingo board has a word or phrase connected to weddings or the bride-to-be.
Players cross those squares off their cards as they find someone who matches the description. This will make more sense when you see the free printable Bridal Bingo card below. The first person to cross off a line on their card horizontally, vertically, or diagonally calls out ‘Bingo!’ and wins.

In the classic version of Bridal Bingo, the bride’s name or picture is placed in the center square, and other spaces are filled with words or phrases related to weddings. Players mark their cards as the host says the terms. The player who first calls “Bingo!” sets up a straight line of marked squares and gets a prize.

Instead of focusing on the bride, you can make the groom a part of the game. Make a bingo card with the names of the bride and groom in the middle and words associated with both in the other spaces. This is an excellent way to include the groom and give him a sense of inclusion in the celebrations.
5. Themed Bridal Bridal Bingo
If the bride has a particular wedding theme, include it in the bridal bingo game. For instance, if the bride is having a beach wedding, including words on the bingo board that relate to the beach and the ocean.
6. Gift Bingo
You can use gifts the bride will likely receive at her bridal shower instead of the words or phrases on the bingo card, and players cross off the appropriate square on their bingo card as the bride opens her presents, and the player who first calls “Bingo!” and lines up a straight line of marked squares gets a prize.
7. Love Song Bingo
Make a bingo board with the names of love songs in each square, but make sure each player checks off the square on their bingo card that corresponds to the love song tracks played by the host, and the player who first calls “Bingo!” and lines up a straight line of marked squares gets a prize.
8. Emoji Bingo
Emojis should be placed in each square of a bingo board, and players cross off the court on their bingo board, corresponding to the emoji descriptions as the host calls them out. The player who first calls “Bingo!” and lines up a straight line of marked squares gets a prize, but if you do not get straight lines of marked squares, he doesn’t win.
9. Advice Bingo
