Put a wedding twist on traditional bingo with a bridal-themed edition! There are many different ways to structure the game, including using B-R-I-D-E in place of B-I-N-G-O across the top, having guests fill in what they think the bride will receive as gifts ahead of time (pictured), or buying or printing pre-filled cards with wedding-related words and/or images. (PS: Make sure you have plenty of colorful bingo chips on hand.)
