Bachelorette Word Search (Quick Overview)

A fun game designed to bring out everyone's competitive side! Bridal (or bachelorette) word search is played by teams/individuals finding as many listed words as possible, within a given time-limit. Whoever finds the most words before the timer goes off is awarded the title of 'word search champion'. Want to mix things up a little? Up the cheek factor by creating a word search filled with naughty words, give a nod to your overall theme by finding words that compliment the celebration (e.g. ghost, zombie and scary for a Halloween themed event), or even personalise the search (only adding words that in some way relate to the guest of honor - such as their name, partner's name, pet's name, favourite drinks, or even favourite foods!).

​How to Play the Bachelorette Word Search Game

YOU WILL NEED:
A word search template. Either make your own on the computer (using programs such as Word or Powerpoint), or purchase a pre-made activity card (example pictured below). You will also need pens/pencils and a timer.

Handy Tip:
Remember to include a list of hidden words at the bottom of your cards!

​
​
​​PREPARATION:
If you have a printer at home, use this to print off your game cards. If not, head to your local print shop instead.

Handy Tip:
Make sure you have enough cards for the number of players.


​
HOW TO PLAY:
On 'GO', players grab their game cards and search for the hidden words - finding as many as they can within the allotted time. For an easy search, we often allow 3-4 minutes; but this time limit can be changed to suit your search and party.

The person or team who find the most words before the timer goes off is your winner!

Alternative:
Ditch the timer - the person or team to find all of the words first wins.

The Different Types of Word Searches

CHEEKY WORD SEARCH FOR BACHELORETTE PARTIES
After a bit of cheek? Up the giggle factor with hilariously naughty hidden words!

With options such as 'strippers', 'fake orgasm', 'missionary position' and 'condom' all fair play, party-goers will be blushing and laughing from the get go.

FUNNY SHAPES
Create a 'shape' with your hidden words. That is, hide the words so that once they're circled or highlighted, they create an image.

Your word search might result in a love heart, the bride's initials, the groom's initials or even a pecker! Get creative and have fun with it.



THEMED WORD SEARCH
Bring the theme to your games by hiding words that relate to, or compliment, the celebration.

A pamper party, for instance, may feature words such as 'spa day', 'nail polish', 'massage' and 'facials'. Whereas a spooky soiree would focus more on eerie options (such as 'ghost', 'moonlight', 'vampire' and 'zombie').​

WEDDING WORD SEARCH PUZZLE
Unlike their cheeky counterparts mentioned above, wedding word search game cards are a sweet, multi-age option that can be played at a range of events. To make, simply hide wedding related words (such as bridesmaid, ceremony, wedding cake and flower girl) within the puzzle.

PERSONALISED WORD SEARCH GAMES
These are all about the guest of honor and her husband-to-be. So rather than hiding general wedding or hen related words, come up with a list that focuses on the happy couple's relationship and life in general.

​Some examples include their names, cute nicknames they use, funny phrases they say, locations that have meaning (such as where they're getting married, or where he proposed) and so on.

​
Other Tips

​PRINTING
Print your word search puzzles onto thin card stock. Not only will it have a more professional 'vibe', but will also be a lot sturdier than a normal piece of paper.
