DRESS THE BRIDE (QUICK OVERVIEW)
A truly unique activity that will result in laughter and epic photo ops! Start by assigning each guest one clothing item or accessory before the celebration. It is their job to purchase (or find) this item and bring it to the event (without the bride knowing). On the big day, announce that the group have a little surprise - at which point guests proceed to 'dress' the bride with each of their items; all of which combine to create one incredible outfit! Want to mix things up a little? You may like to add some 'purchase' rules (e.g. clothing and accessories must be found at an op shop or around the home), or set a theme that items are picked around (glam, raunchy, bridal or even pirates works well for this!).

Step 1: In the lead up to the event, everyone participating is assigned an item
Step 2: Each person (or team) purchases their item
Step 3: Each person works their magic and gets those items to the celebration without the bride-to-be seeing
Step 4: Head bridesmaid announces that you've got a little surprise. Guests' then proceed to 'dress' the bride with each item, one at a time!
Step 5: Many happy snaps are taken and many laughs are had

Alternative Ways to Play
ADD SOME RULES
Rather than lettings guests purchase what they please, set some rules. For example, items must be purchased from an op shop, items must be found around the home, items must be in a particular theme, or items must be in a particular colour.
THEME IT
As mentioned above, you may like to set a theme rule for your accessories. Some examples include:

THEME IT
As mentioned above, you may like to set a theme rule for your accessories. Some examples include:
- A pirate theme: where an eye patch, pirate hat, bandana, and even a mini pirate flag may make an appearance - turning your bride-to-be into the ultimate scallywag!
- A glam theme: providing your girl with some of the finer things in life
- A colour theme: by requesting that each participant purchase an item in a particular shade (pink, for example) or shades (such as pastel colours), your hen will be a colour co-ordinated vision!
- A raunchy theme: I think you know where I'm going with this. If there's an accessory in an inappropriate shape, it's obviously a must for this celebration!
- A bridal theme: from a beautiful veil to glorious glasses, your girl will shine in hand-picked bride-to-be gear!
As you can see, the options are quite endless when it comes to theming your accessories!
Handy Hint:
Surprising the bride-to-be with a fancy dress hen do? Ask her to turn up in a white dress (so that she feels comfortable - which is a must on her special day); then bring the theme to her outfit with an assortment of accessories (picked especially for her by each guest!).
