How to play

  1. Before the bride opens presents, each guest gets a card listing household gifts in random squares (or fills a blank card with their own predictions).
  2. As each gift is unwrapped, guests mark the square if that item appears on their card.
  3. The first person to complete a straight line in any direction calls out "Bingo!" and shows their card.
  4. Keep playing for a second line or a full card if there are more gifts to open.

Who wins

First to complete a line; optional extra prize for a full card.

Variations

Blank cards make guests guess what's coming. Use wedding words instead of gifts (veil, bouquet, first dance) for a no-gifts party. Virtual showers can share cards on screen.

In the app

Party Lineup makes bingo cards from a ready word list, every card different, and calls the words for you. Guests can also play on their phones.
