This classic game brings out the designer in all of us.  Divide guests into equal groups.  Each group is given three rolls of toilet tissue and sent to different rooms with instructions to create a wedding dress on one member of their team using the paper.  When completed, the bride selects the best wedding gown with the entire group winning a prize.
