gift ideas for women turning 90 image
I'm throwing my sister a bridal shower and I dont have any game ideas. Any Help?
Answer
Toilet Paper Wedding Dress
Divide the guests into two or more teams of at least three people each. The teams are given rolls of toilet paper, and each team chooses a "bride." Give the teams 20 minutes to create a wedding dress on their "bride" using the toilet paper. At the end of the allotted time, vote for the best wedding dress and the funniest, and give prizes to the winners.
The Clothespin Game
To begin, choose a "buzz word" such as bride, groom, wedding, etc. When each guests comes into the party, hand them a clothespin. Then, if someone hears another person saying the "buzz word," they get to take that person's clothespin. The person with the most clothespins at the end of the party wins. (Another variation is that a guest loses her clothespin when she crosses her legs, a hard task for a party full of women!)
Purse Scavenger Hunt or Let's Make a Deal
Remember that old game show, Let's Make a Deal? At the end of every show, Monty Hall would give audience members money for a specific unusual item. This is the same idea. Divide guests into teams of two or three, giving them a list of slightly unusual items, including a few "why in the world would you carry that in a purse?" items. Assign points to each item based on the likelihood that someone will have it. (a lipstick carries 10 points, a can opener 90 points). The team with the most points is the winner. Another variation is to call out items as the bride is opening presents, giving a small individual prize for each item.
Cotton Head
Choose a guest to go first, and sit her in the middle of the room. Hand her a bowl full of cotton balls and a wooden spoon, and blindfold her. The object of the game is to pile as many cotton balls on your own head as possible within a certain amount of time (30 seconds or so.) After everyone has had a turn, the guest who got the most cotton balls on her head wins a prize.
Two Truths and a Lie
Each guest introduces herself, and tells the group three things about herself; two are true, one is a lie. Guests then write down, or shout out which one they think is a lie. If a guest is shy, the host should whisper in her ear some ideas for the lie.
Who Am I?
Before the party, make a list of famous romantic couples These can be real: Jessica Tandy and Hume Cronyn, fictional: Fred and Wilma Flintstone, contemporary: David and Courtney Cox Arquette, or ancient: Antony and Cleopatra. Other famous couples: Grace Kelly and Prince Ranier, Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy, Robert and Elizabeth Browning, Romeo and Juliet, Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick. Choose couples that your guests are likely to know. Write each name down separately on name tags and as each guest arrives, put a name tag (without showing them) on their back. Their task is to go around the party and ask yes or no questions about their "secret identity." For example, "am I a fictional character?" "Am I a man?" Then, they have to find their "better half". The game ends when everyone has found their partner, award a prize to the first couple to do so.
Bridal Bingo
There are many fun variations on this game. The most popular is this one: the host pre-fills out bingo cards with things the bride likes, and then has her draw either the items themselves (if they are small gifts) or slips of paper (if they are things like places she has visited, her favorite color, etc.). Variation two is that the guests fill the cards out themselves with presents they think the bride is likely to receive, putting their own present in the free square in the middle. When a guest has a matching square with what the bride has called (or opened), she can cross it off; five in a row, across or diagonally count as Bingo! Give a door prize to the first winner.
How Well Do You Know the Bride?
Start off this game by asking the bride to leave the room, standing just out of sight, but within hearing distance. Ask guests what she was wearing, (color of her shirt, hair up or down, etc.) then move on to harder questions such as how did the bride and groom meet, what is the bride's favorite color, etc. The first person to shout out the most correct answers is the winner.
How well does the bride know the groom?
Before the shower, ask the groom questions about himself and carefully write down his answers. At the shower, ask the bride to predict what he said. If the answers match, she gets a prize. If the answers don't match, the first guest to call out the correct answer gets the prize. Sample questions include, What is his favorite color? Favorite band? Favorite thing to do on the weekend? Dream vacation? Where was their first date?
How Old Was She?
Ask the bride's mother for pictures of her at a variety of ages. Pin them to a board, and hand out sheets of paper to each guest. As they mingle and eat, they can guess what age she was in each picture. Give a prize t

Is it fair to call a woman "disgusting" if she states that she wouldn't accept a ride from a male stranger?
Pookie.
Inspired by this question:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Akd_.dd9Om6HOe6.QyyWReAYxgt.;_ylv=3?qid=20081023211616AAqXiBr
and an answer that indicated that in the event of a car breaking down, a woman's decision to *not* get a ride from a male stranger and instead get a ride with a female stranger was "disgusting"
(The question is at the bottom of this thread).
When a person gets bitten by a snake in rural areas of Australia in early spring, the likelihood of the offending snake being a King Brown is fairly high. King browns are known to be aggressive, and often attack the unsuspecting victim unprovoked.
Imagine a situation where a snake bite victim presents herself to a local ED following a snake bite. She tells the Dr that she saw the snake, but couldn't remember what it looked like. The doctor was aware that King Browns were very active in the area, and a significant number of other patients had presented themselves at the same hospital in the past few weeks with snake bites. As it turned out, 90% of the snake bite patients admitted, had been bitten by King Browns. While any number of types of snakes *could* have bitten her, the doctors awareness that the recent statistic of 90%, the fact that it was an unprovoked attack, coupled with the fact that it's the second week in Spring, makes her (the doctor) highly suspicious that the bite was that of a King Brown.
Would it be fair to say that based on the information available to the doctor that she was justifiably highly suspicious of the offending type of snake?
Similarly, because it's general knowledge
