If you plan to cook or have the food catered and you have any friends or family members who live in a condo or apartment complex with a clubhouse, you can usually rent it for free or for a small charge. Otherwise, many restaurant have private rooms...the only drawback is you have to set menu or buffet which can sometimes be costly.
Go easy on the decorations. Get a couple of cheap vases and inexpensive flowers, and then set each guest's place with a shower favor (candles or soap/lotion gift sets are a great choice).
Game Suggestions:
1.
Purse Raid - Make a checklist with about 15 items that women may have in their purse/bag. Give each item a point value (1-5 points for common things like license/cell phone/money/gum, 10-15 points for reasonable items like sunglasses/band-aids/grocery store discount card, and 20-25 points for uncommon items like picture of the bride or groom/movie ticket stub/calculator). The guest with the highest point tally gets a prize.
2.
Couple Quiz - In advance, ask the bride and groom a series of questions (ie - where did you meet, where was your first date, who said "I love you" first, etc). Then make up a multiple choice quiz. The guest with the most correct answers gets a prize.
3.
Bridal Bingo - Give guests a blank bingo card/sheet. Have guest fill in the boxes with items they believe the bride will get as gifts (ie - toaster, picture frame, dishes). As the bride opens gifts, the guest mark their items off and the first person to get a bingo wins a prize.
