How to Create Your Own Bridal Shower Word Search

Whether you're using a Canva template or drawing up your own design, crafting a homemade word search is one of the easier options. Just add enough rows for words going down, across and diagonally to give your loved ones a little challenge, and mix in some other words (non-wedding related) into the search to increase the difficulty level. You can also create kid-friendly designs and templates if younger guests are joining.

Use some of the word search words mentioned earlier as inspiration, and incorporate your favorite motifs, graphics and colors into the design to really make it pop. The sky's the limit for your DIY game, and printing it on cardstock gives a little extra oomph for a memento they'll want to bring home.
