Need ideas for a come and go bridal shower?

I am hosting a "come and go" bridal shower for a coworker and am looking for some fun things for the guests to do (ie games or anything to involve them...) Keep in mind this has to be work appropriate. Thanks for your input!

    I don't know your reason for doing a come and go one, but maybe consider doing on at a set time where people can show up late or leave when they need to, but this way you can have a structure and people miss out if they are not there at that time, but will be involved in everything else.

    If you really want to do a come and go one, you could play games and then announce the winner the next day at work.

    here are some games I had at some of my showers.

    Get a bunch of different candy bars like dots, skittles, m&m, skor, 3 musketeers, ect... then have the guest write a story on how you and your guy met using all the names of the candy bars. The winner gets all the candy bars! They get really funny!

    Get a bunch of house hold cleaning supplies that "a married woman needs" and do like a price is right. Have then write down what they think the price is of them all, the winner gets some type of gift and you get the supplies.

    If you end up having a group of people have everyone wear a clothes pin on their shirt and tell them there are 3 words you can not say like "dress" "guys name" and "present" and if someone says it someone can steel their clothes pin the person with the most at the end wins!

    good luck! and congrats!

    Personally I hate games. No one needs a prize for attending a shower. The point is to shower the bride with gifts. It is especially difficult at a come and go. Just have social hour. Allow the people to give the bride their gift and the bride can show off her items. Have the dress out or a picture of the dress. Have a bridal bouquet where guests glue their ribbon to the paper plate. If the bride has any decisions she hasn't made, you can have rose petals and guests can vote on which centerpiece they like best. Whichever has the most rose petals will be the one the bride picks. Have the guests each write down on piece of marriage advice (if the majority are married). sign it with the number of years they've been married. We did that for my rehearsal and my MIL gave us a box with all the advice on it. You can have people bring their favorite recipe to put in the bride's cookbook.

    I don't remember where I read this, but I love the idea. Get a small bag (I think a victoria secret's bag would be funniest) put a small teddy bear inside, but make it so no one can see inside even if they try. Tell the guests you'll be playing hot potato, and the person who ends up with the "potato" has to go into the bathroom and come out modeling the teddy. Everyone will crack up when the loser comes out modeling with a cute little teddy bear
