THE AIM OF A RUBIK'S CUBE PARTY

AN OVERVIEW
Have each guest arrive in an outfit that resembles an incomplete Rubik's cube (i.e. they are wearing the six different cube colors - white, red, blue, orange, green and yellow). The aim during the Rubik's cube party is for guests' to swap articles of clothing until they have 'solved' the cube (i.e. wearing one colour only).

In other words… the aim of the game is to leave the party in someone else’s clothes #ohbehave!

SWAP ON

YOU MAKE THE RULES
As mentioned above, the aim of the game is for guests to swap pieces of clothing until they're wearing one colour only.

Simple, right?

Wrong!

Make the game extra fun by setting one of the following Rubik's cube themed party rules...
Guests must make a quick swap of 1 clothing item:

Before a song finishes playing
When a particular word is mentioned in a song
Discretely (e.g. in a dark corner, in the bathroom, in a cupboard, etc. If they're busted changing, must swap back)
When the groom's name is mentioned by the bride (be discreet when swapping as not everyone will hear his name; don't tell the bride that she's the one causing the swaps)
When a pre-determined word is mentioned by the bride (be discreet as not everyone will hear the word; don't tell the bride that she's the one causing the swaps)

The final two dot points are hilarious when guests’ are able to swap clothing items without the bride noticing. Gradually during the party she’ll realize her girls are slowing morphing into whole colours and won’t know when or how it’s happening!

Don’t like the idea of one blanket rule? Instead, think of numerous rules to be followed throughout the night; for example:

One item must be swapped with a stranger
One item must be swapped with a person who has brown hair
One item must be swapped without anyone else seeing
One item must be swapped when the bride says ...

If you want to make it even more difficult: no rule may be used more than once per person.

GAME ON

BECAUSE A LITTLE COMPETITION NEVER HURT ANYONE
Have prizes for one or all of the following:

First to solve the cube (i.e. first to be dressed in one colour)
Best dressed
Best accessories
Most hilarious outfit
Sexiest outfit
Most creative outfit
Best before and after (take pictures of each guest when they arrive in front of a white background; do the same at the end of the party. Best before and after outfit wins!)

HOW WILL YOU PLAY?

THE CHOICE IS YOURS
You decide how to include your hen in the game.

OPTION 1: Make sure she is the only one to end up in all white (you could make a rule that the bride must get the white item from every single guest!).

OPTION 2: Ask your hen to arrive in all white, and have guests wear the remaining five cube colours (red, blue, orange, green and yellow). You can then use the 'bride mentioning a particular word' rule outlined above; discreetly swapping clothing items. When she notices what's going on, have her join the fun. The catch? Whilst guests must become one single colour, your hen must become an unfinished cube (leaving the party in all six colours rather than white!).

OPTION 3: Everyone, including your hen, arrives as an unfinished rubik's cube and plays the game together.

OH GOODIE

WHAT'S IN A BAG?
You could have fun with this theme!

Using anything from an actual Rubik's cube, Rubik's cube keyrings/earrings or mini Rubik's Cube favours; to assorted coloured foods (think lollies, square cookies with coloured icing, take-home slices of a Rubik's cube cake, cupcakes made out of the six colours, etc.).

Want to get a little cheekier with your gifts? Pecker straws are always a winner (assorted coloured straws are especially perfect for this theme!), as are assorted coloured condoms!

DECORATE

THE GAME MAKES UP FOR IT
Thanks to the fun nature of this game, guests' and hen alike will have an amazing time whether your decorations are scarce (i.e. a few bunches of balloons) or elaborate (e.g. Rubik's cube table, assorted coloured shots, coloured square plates, confetti balloons filled with Rubik's cube coloured confetti pieces, etc.).

Alternatively, incorporate this game into an 80s theme party! Think along the lines of bright colours, glow sticks, disco balls and fun photo props/dress ups in front of a metallic tinsel curtain backdrop. There's so many 80s party decorations that you won't have a problem setting the scene! And if you do decide to go ahead with this theme, make sure guests join the fun by turning up in 80s style clothing (in the Rubik's Cube colours, of course!).

SOME HANDY TIPS

A HEADS UP FOR YOUR PARTY PEOPLE
You may wish to include the following tips on invitations:

Only wear clothes and accessories that you're happy to part with (I recommend hitting up some op-shops; you won't mind letting go of the clothing items, and you're sure to find some absolute treasures that will go down a treat at the hens!).
If you're not comfortable getting changed in front of people, wear something (such as a singlet and shorts/leggings) underneath your colourful clothing.
Bright, solid coloured clothing items are best for this game
Accessories are a must! Sunglasses, scarves, long socks, gloves, etc. make the game even better.
The more crazy, hideous, unique clothing items the better!

Make sure you send out invitations early, giving your guests’ enough time to plan and/or purchase the most out-there get-up possible.

You should also have PLENTY of cameras. Do not host a Rubik’s cube party without getting snap happy… you will regret it #thereneedstobeevidence
