• Best dressed lady in the group
• Style diva with the best accessory

For the best-dressed lady game, tell your girls to form into a group, then do a catwalk on the ramp. The girls of the group can all drape sarees in myriad ways as they think best. Or else, you can ask them to replicate the look of heroines of the 60s and the 70s with bell bottoms and beehive hairstyles.

A style diva game is also a good option to try on your Sangeet ceremony. This game will keep everyone busy and entertained. Choose teams, and tell each lady from the team to flaunt their accessory in the best possible manner. Accessories like jewellery from the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s can be worn to mimic the look of those times. The girl who comes dressed with the best imitation jewellery wins the game.

2. Retro theme Indian wedding dress up games

Retro has always been popular with the bride and groom as well as wedding guests. If you have a garden bridal shower function, you can hold retro-themed Indian wedding dress up games to keep the ladies interested. Some of the games you can organise are:

• Girl with the best retro outfit
• Best retro hairstyle game

Have your bridesmaids dress up in a variety of retro-themed outfits, and tell them to walk on the ramp. The best and the most stylish lady wins the title.

For a retro theme hairstyle game, your lady friends have to make hairdos replicating the style of the 50s and the 60s. From beehives to bouffants, girls can showcase their hairstyles in varying ways. The girls with the best hairdo win.

3. Match up with your partner

The matching partner game is also a nice option for bridesmaids and women attending a pre-wedding function. Divide ladies into pairs, and tell them to dress themselves and their partners in matching outfits. Once done, all the pairs have to walk and show off their style to the audience. You can try the following matchup games:

• Match your shoes
• Match your salwar kameez sets
• Match your clutches
• Match your jewellery
• Match your saree colours

You can also include men in this game where the ladies can match up to their dress with their better half. The best-dressed couple wins the game.

4. Wear a dupatta in a different style

Another one among Indian wedding dress up games which would keep your girls' enthusiasm high will be to wear their dupattas in various funky styles. Give each girl a dupatta. Then ask each to wear it in any way that looks different than the other.

The girl who wears it in the most creative way wins the game.

5. Colour of the day

Colour is yet another element that you can use for an Indian wedding dress up game. Tell each participant to walk the ramp dressed in their best attires. The best and the most vibrant coloured dress wins the game.

Alternatively, you can ask the ladies to dress up in a particular colour outfit, like green for Mehndi ceremony or yellow for Haldi etc.
