Are you in charge of hosting a kitchen tea and feeling a bit overwhelmed with planning the entertainment? Don’t worry—this post is for you! Kitchen teas (our uniquely South African spin on a bridal shower) can be packed with plenty of fun, laughter, and a pinch of cheeky mischief when you have the right mix of games. Today, I’m sharing a few kitchen tea ideas games that will not only keep your guests giggling but also leave the bride-to-be feeling extra special.

He said, she said
If you’re looking for creative kitchen tea games free or almost-free ideas, He Said, She Said is always a crowd-favourite. Gather funny quotes or opinions from both the bride and groom ahead of time (like who does the dishes, who’s the bigger romantic, or who made the first move). Print them out in a guessing game format, and let guests decide who said what. It’s light-hearted, personal, and the bride often learns a few surprises along the way!

Kitchen Scattegories
For a kitchen party game that truly tests your creativity, Kitchen Scattegories is an absolute gem. Pick a letter of the alphabet, and within a time limit, have guests list food items, cooking tools, or local dishes starting with that letter. The trick? You only earn points for unique answers that no one else came up with. This game will have your guests racking their brains and laughing at the strangest words they can come up with.

The Emoji Game
If you’re hunting for simple and fun games for kitchen tea, you can’t go wrong with an emoji challenge! Our Emoji Game turns wedding lingo into quirky little icons. Hand out a printable sheet with rows of emojis, and see who can guess the correct words or phrases first. This quick, light-hearted activity is perfect as a warm-up to get everyone chatting and excited.

Bridal Bingo
No kitchen tea would be complete without the classic Bridal Bingo. Instead of calling out numbers, write down key wedding phrases or items (like “veil,” “something blue,” or “honeymoon”). Give each guest a bingo card, and let them mark off the squares as you call out the bridal-themed words. First one to get a line or full house wins a small prize—easy, fun, and perfect for all ages.
