Jawbreaker
Before the shower, corner the groom and persuade him to answer personal questions about himself. Write the questions with the answer on to slips of paper, attaching a piece of bubble gum (Bubble Yum or Bubblicious work great). Seating the bride and guests is a circle, distribute the slips to all guests. Have each guest take a turn reading their question. If the bride cannot answer or gets the answer wrong, she must chew the piece of gum. If she gets the answer right, the guest asking the question chews the gum. Through the course of the game, the bride must keep all “wrong answer” pieces of gum in her mouth (you might want to keep a napkin handy), continuing to chew until all questions are answered.

Some sample questions are:

* What is his shoe size?
* What is his favorite pizza topping?
* Who was his favorite mission companion?
* What does he think is “your song”?
* What was the name of his first pet?
* Did he ever wear braces?
* Where is his birthmark?
* What is the year, make and model of his car?
* When was his last tune-up/oil change? (more…)
