Bridal Shower Game

We just held a wedding shower for my sister-in-law and her fiance'.  I made one of the games, based on the game my sister did at my baby shower over 5 years ago.  Think of it as a card matching game.

I got two posterboards (just enough room to make 24 "cards").  I wrote down sayings and things related to a wedding behind the cards.  I wasn't sure how many people would show up at the shower, so I tried to make it last as long as I could.

I wrote down things that were wedding related, and found candy prizes to go with each "match."  It's hard to explain without showing you, but here's the pictures so you get an idea.

The basic rules are that each guest gets one guess...they choose two numbers.  If they don't match, no prize, then the next person gets a turn. If they match, they get a prize according to what was behind the "card" and the next person gets a turn.  Keep going until all cards are matched.

Sorry it's blurry but I was working out how to randomize the "sayings" on the board.

The finished board.  Each color "card" is taped on the top, so that if someone makes a match, the card can be ripped off.

Here's an example of one of the "cards."  I wrote Bridal March behind one card and
you can see the prize -Symphony- written on the back of the card to help me remember
what prizes to give for that match.

Here's the game in action.
