"Ok this is a game, and you can call it don't say that, or you can call it the necklace game, the bell game, but I like to call it don't say that. It's a great name for the game, and everybody who comes in is going to get some sort of a necklace or a pin, you can use a lei, you can use a strand of beads, another great way is to give everybody a little necklace with a bell on the end, anything like that is going to work. You can make little pins to put on, they're wedding dress pins, just anything you want that somebody can actually wear and that's visible, and then you're going to give all your guests a list of words that they can't say. For instance, they can't say bride, they have to call the bride only by her name, the can't say groom, they can only say the groom's name, and what's going to happen is as your guests hear other guests say those words they can't say, like bride or groom, they get to take whatever necklace they're wearing. Now this continues on throughout the whole bridal shower and, even if you lose your necklace you can catch other people saying it and take one of theirs. At the end of the bridal shower the person who has the most necklaces or pins, whatever you're using, is going to be the winner of that game and they're going to get a prize. And it's really funny because you're going to catch people saying bride and groom and say, "oh why'd I do that" and it's funny, everybody gets to laugh and they get to steal necklaces from each other. So, again, it gets your guests involved, it gets them mingling, and everybody's going to laugh at how many times they forget what words they can't say. So that's a great game to get everyone involved and it's the don't say that game for your bridal shower. "
