A fun twist on the scavenger hunt game, Hen Party Bucket List will give your bride-to-be the chance to complete a variety of different things she's ALWAYS wanted to do... but never had the time! Surrounded by her best friends and family, completing the items in this game will not only be extremely fun, but also incredibly meaningful (she will see the thought that went into creating her special day, and will love you even more for it!).

HEN PARTY BUCKET LIST (QUICK OVERVIEW)
It's a scavenger hunt... with a thoughtful twist! To organise, you first need some intel on the bride-to-be. What would she love to try in your local area? This could be anything from life drawing, singing her favourite song in a karaoke bar or being part of a flash mob, to devouring the biggest donut at the bakery. Call in help from her fiancé and the other bridesmaids to create the ultimate experience list for her. Type up the items that are possible to complete at her hen do, and print it off. On the big day/weekend, make your way through each experience as a group (with LOTS of photo evidence along the way!). Want to mix things up a little? Add a competitive edge by splitting into small groups (first team to finish the list wins), create a special hashtag to keep track of your images, add items to your bucket list that involve video (e.g. take a video of the hen downing a shot), or create a 'Couple's Bucket List' (guests' write down ideas for the happy couple to complete together during their first year of marriage)!

Handy Hint:
You can add a couple of your own ideas and/or hen activities if the list needs a few more options. Just make sure it's something your best friend would LOVE taking part in - this game is all about her after all!
PLAYING 'HEN PARTY BUCKET LIST':
Start the game by handing the bride and each of her guests' a bucket list before heading out and about
The aim is to complete the list with the bride-to-be (and get photo evidence along the way!)
Treat Yourselves:
When the group finishes all of the tasks, it's only fair that EVERYONE gets to bask in the glory. Treat your crew to something special! This could be a surprise dinner and glass of wine [organised prior to the day], certificates stating that they completed their bucket list, mini favours - such as small bottles of wine, or a high five... but only if your hand slaps are that legendary others NEED to experience them.
Alternative Ways to Play 'Hen Party Bucket List'
GAME ON!
Rather than completing each of the items as a group, break off into smaller groups and get those competitive juices flowing. First team to get through each of the items (photo and/or video evidence, or it didn't happen) wins!
FOLLOW THE HASHTAG
Playing in teams and want to keep an eye on what the others are up to? Create a special hashtag (JUST for the game). Teams can then upload images alongside the hashtag once an item has been completed; meaning any team who views the hashtag will be able to see what their competitors have achieved so far.
WE LIKE TO MOVE IT, MOVE IT
Rather than just capturing still shots, consider adding items to your bucket list that involve video. For example, ‘take a video of the hen doing [insert bucket list item]'. Alternatively, teams who film themselves completing items on the list could receive bonus points.
SURPRISE LIST
Instead of creating a list prior to the celebration, ask each guest to have input at the actual bachelorette party. This can be done by handing out pieces of paper and asking party-goers to write down one thing they know the bride would love to do. Checklist items obviously have to be attainable.
Write all of the items onto one big checklist and make your way through as a group!
COUPLE'S BUCKET LIST
Set out a jar, basket or bucket alongside paper, pens and pencils. Throughout the party, guests' can write down bucket list items for the happy couple to complete during their first year of marriage.
