Bridal Shower Game: Purse Scavenger Hunt

Get the party going with a “What’s in Your Purse?” Scavenger Hunt! Here are the rules.

Before the Shower:

Jot down an exhaustive list of items that might be found in a purse, from the common (wallet, keys) to the more obscure (flash drive, calculator) and everything in between. Don’t stop until your list contains at least 50 items.

Next, arrange items into 10 categories based on how likely they are to be found in a purse, with 1 being the most likely and 10 being the least likely. The first category will contain “ 1 point” items, the second category will contain “2 point” items, and so on, all the way up to “10 point” items. Make sure each category contains at least 5 items. Use our list below as a guide if you’d like, but feel free to tweak it according to your crowd. Type up your final list and print a copy for each guest.
