                     BRIDAL PARTY BONDING- 
WHAT NO ONE THINKS 
ABOUT
FOR THE ADVENTUROUS GROUP
PAINTBALL: OKAY, DISCLAIMER, MAKE 
SURE THIS ACTIVITY IS DONE WELL 
BEFORE THE WEDDING BECAUSE 
BRUISES AND WELTS DO NOT LOOK 
CUTE. SWITCH UP THE TEAMS, MAYBE 
BY BRIDESMAIDS AND GROOMSMEN 
FIRST TO GET THE COMPETITION GOING! 
THEN CHANGE UP THE TEAMS TO SEE 
YOUR GUYS AND GIRLS WORK 
TOGETHER TO TAKE DOWN THE OTHER 
TEAM. FUN, MESSY FUN.
THE AMAZING RACE
ONE PERSON CHOOSES TO COORDINATE THE 
EVENT, WHO WILL NOT PARTICIPATE. AGAIN, 
DIVIDE UP YOUR PARTY, PREFERABLY A MIX OF 
GROOMSMEN AND BRIDESMAIDS, SO THE 
BONDING HAPPENS, HELLO! EACH TEAM PICKS 
A COLOR (WE SUGGEST USING YOUR WEDDING 
COLORS)! THE GROUPS WILL START IN A 
CENTRAL LOCATION AND BE GIVEN A NOTE 
CARD WITH THEIR TEAM COLOR ON IT. THIS 
CARD WILL TELL THEM TO COMPLETE A CERTAIN 
TASK. THE NEXT NOTE CARD LEADS THEM TO A 
NEW TASK AND SO FORTH UNTIL THE WINNERS 
ARE DECLARED.
ROCK CLIMBING
WHETHER IT’S INDOOR OR OUTDOOR, 
ROCK CLIMBING IS A GREAT WAY TO 
HAVE THE MEMBERS OF YOUR BRIDAL 
PARTY BOND AND GET TO KNOW EACH 
OTHER. THIS CAN BE TURNED INTO A 
COMPETITION FOR SURE, EACH TEAM 
HAS TO HELP THEIR SELECTED CLIMBER 
GET TO THE TOP THE FASTEST.
FOR THE FOOD AND DRINK LOVERS
WINE AND PAINT NIGHT: ONCE THE 
WINE AND THE CREATIVE JUICES GET 
FLOWING, THIS IS A SUPER RELAXING 
WAY TO CHAT WITH THE MEMBERS OF 
YOUR WEDDING PARTY AND GET TO 
KNOW ONE ANOTHER. IF PAINTING ISN’T 
YOUR THING, POTTERY IS ANOTHER 
CHALLENGING ACTIVITY TO TAKE ON AS 
A GROUP, AND THE BEST PIECE COULD 
EVEN BE USED AS A WEDDING 
DECORATION!
BREWERY/DISTILLERY TOUR
TAKE YOUR GROUP ON A BREWERY 
TOUR! IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO 
HEAR THE FACTS OF THE BREWERY 
WHILE HANGING OUT AND TASTING ALL 
THE DIFFERENT BREWS WITH YOUR 
CREW!
COOKING CLASS
 MEETING FOR DINNER AT A 
RESTAURANT IS OVERRATED. LEARN TO 
MAKE A DISH AS A GROUP! THE BEST 
MEMORIES HAPPEN WHILE IN THE 
KITCHEN, SO HAVE EVERYONE JOIN IN 
TOGETHER TO PREPARE A MEAL. BON 
APPÉTIT!
FOR THE GIVING GROUP
 RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE: RIGHT 
HERE IN CHICAGO, THIS ORGANIZATION 
HELPS FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN 
BATTLING CANCER. VOLUNTEERS SIGN 
UP TO MAKE DINNER FOR THE FAMILIES 
STAYING AT THE HOUSE. HAVE YOUR 
BRIDAL PARTY COME TOGETHER WITH A 
MEAL PLAN, GO SHOPPING FOR ALL THE 
INGREDIENTS TOGETHER, THEN 
ACTUALLY PREPARE THE MEAL! GETTING 
TOGETHER AND COOKING IS A GREAT 
BONDING ACTIVITY AS IS, BUT WHEN 
IT’S FOR A GOOD CAUSE, YOU’LL ALL 
LEAVE FEELING WARM AND FUZZY.
FOR THE ECLECTIC GROUP
THROW A POTLUCK: KEEP IT SIMPLE 
AND TELL YOUR FRIENDS YOU’LL SUPPLY 
THE MAIN ENTRÉE AND THE 
BEVERAGES. SET UP A DIY COFFEE BAR 
SO YOUR GUESTS CAN ENJOY THEIR 
FAVORITES. GIVE YOUR FRIENDS A 
CREATIVE TASK: BRING A DISH THAT 
REMINDS THEM OF YOU AND YOUR 
PARTNER. THEIR CHOICES WILL 
DEFINITELY HELP GET THE 
CONVERSATION GOING!
HOST AN OLD-SCHOOL MOVIE NIGHT
INVITE EVERYONE OVER FOR MOVIE 
NIGHT AND FIRE UP A FAVORITE 
CHILDHOOD FLICK. ORDER PIZZA AND 
UTILIZE A MAKE-YOUR-OWN-SUNDAE 
BAR. WHILE GATHERED AROUND THE 
TV, YOUR FRIENDS ARE BOUND TO 
SWAP STORIES ABOUT WHAT YOU AND 
YOUR FIANCÉ WERE LIKE WAY BACK 
WHEN.
FOR THE SPORTY GROUP
GO BOWLING: MAKE A RESERVATION 
AT YOUR LOCAL ALLEY AND SPLIT UP 
YOUR FRIENDS SO MEMBERS OF YOUR 
PARTY ARE MINGLING WITH SOMEONE 
NEW TO THEM. THE FRIENDLY 
COMPETITION WILL ENCOURAGE 
POSITIVE GROUP SPIRIT AND MAKE 
YOUR ATTENDANTS FEEL LIKE CLOSER 
THAN EVER. (HINT: SPRING FOR 
MATCHING T-SHIRTS, IT WILL INCREASE 
THAT FEELING OF UNITY)
PLAN A TAILGATING PARTY
EVERYONE LOVES TAILGATING GRUB—
FROM BURGERS AND CHIPS TO CHILI 
AND PULLED PORK. IF YOU ALL START 
TALKING (ABOUT TEAMS AND OLD 
MEMORIES) YOU MAY MISS THE GAME, IF 
THAT’S WHAT IT TAKES FOR YOUR 
GROUP TO GET ALONG, WHO CARES?
