AUTHOR: BEC OF 'FOR EVERY HEN'
Whether you’re having a hen party, bridal shower or kitchen tea, it’s a good idea to have a few games up your sleeve. They not only make the celebration unique, but also help guests get to know one-another, have a laugh, and create fantastic memories. However, tracking down the perfect options for your particular celebration can be quite a time-consuming job; hence the reason I’ve put together this article. With this list of bridal shower and hen party games, your job of adding some fun and laughter to the party will be done in no time! In fact, you’ll probably have another issue: that of cutting options from your list because there won’t be enough time to play them all!

40+ BRIDAL SHOWER & HEN PARTY GAMES
18+ TRIVIA NIGHT
Create your very own naughty trivia night! To organise, search the web for some hilariously naughty questions (and answers); writing your favourites on a piece of paper as you go (this is your question sheet - don't let anyone else see it). On the night, separate your guests into groups and, one by one, make your way through each of your pre-written questions. Run funny games in-between rounds (see below for ideas); awarding winners with hilarious prizes (such as chocolate willies), and basically have a ridiculously good time! To get you started, check out this ‘100 Questions About Sex’ game. With questions such as: ‘What’s the average number of sex partners for women?’ (Answer: 7.5 partners), you're bound to come up with some winners for the night! CHEEKY TIME CAPSULE Help your best friend and her husband celebrate their first year of marriage... with a hilarious box of goodies prepared by the girls! To play this hen do game, all you have to do is ask guests to do one or more of the following: Bring a cheeky, wrapped gift to the hen's night (anything from love coupons to sexy lingerie) and/or write down cheeky predictions (e.g. 'the happy couple will have consummated their marriage at least two times on their wedding night), naughty date ideas (to keep the flame burning in their second year of marriage) or cheeky memories (e.g. what happened the first time the happy couple met). These goodies can be placed into the time capsule throughout the celebration. After the party, seal the box and gift to your best friend (with strict instructions not to open it before their anniversary)! If you don't trust that she can wait this long, keep it sealed at your place and gift to her on her anniversary... what a present it will be!
DIRTY MINDS
★Click here for hilarious pre-made ‘dirty’ questionnaire cards★ A great ice-breaker... force your wonderful guests' mind's into the gutter with this naughty yet nice game they wont soon forget!
To play, you will first have to create some game cards. You can do this by searching the internet for hilarious riddles that sound dirty, such as:
Question: I’m hard when you put me in your mouth; soft and wet when you take me out. What am I? Answer: Chewing gum! Once you've found enough riddles, make a list of the questions only, leaving space for your hen and her pals to write their answer. Print off enough for one per person (or, if you'd prefer, one per group). Then, print off the answer sheet and keep it locked away in a special place until needed! When you're ready to play, hand out the cards and, one by one, read out the questions. Give the room time to laugh and discuss answers before moving on. The group with the most correct answers at the end of the game wins! For more hilarious riddles that sound dirty, click here and make your way through the search results!
DIRTY PICTIONARY
Click here to view free printable 'dirty pictionary' words To play dirty pictionary, you first have to come up with a list of hilariously cheeky words related to hen parties and couples. For example, strippers, topless waiters, missionary position - you get the idea. Write each word onto its own individual piece of paper, fold them all up and place them in a bowl. When it comes time for the actual game, split guests into two teams. Each team will take turns in having one member pick a word/phrase from the bowl, before going on and attempting to draw it. The object of the game is for their team members to guess what they are drawing using pictures alone (that is, the person who chose the word/phrase isn't allowed to talk.. at all!). Set a time limit to make it harder! >>> RELATED ARTICLE: HOW TO PLAY DIRTY PICTIONARY LIKE A BOSS! <<<
EMBARRASSING STORIES
Have each guest anonymously write down an embarrassing/funny story or experience they’ve had (you can narrow it down to embarrassing/funny dates, sex stories, etc. if you wish, depending on how risqué you want the game to be and how comfortable your guests are playing). When everyone is done, collect the stories and place them in a bowl. One by one, your hen will then read them aloud to the group; attempting to guess who each story belongs to as she goes. Hot tip: If you want to add some bevs to the mix, change the rules so that the hen must drink for every wrong guess; whilst every right guess results in the person whose story was uncovered drinking. Whether you include drinks or not, this game is a funny way to break the ice and get to know others!
EMOJI PICTIONARY (18+)
★Click here to view a pre-made 18+ emojoi pictionary game card★ Does your hen love to use a good emoji whenever possible? She will absolutely nail this game! To play, come up with a list of 10 cheeky bedroom antics and the emoji (or emojis) that describe them. Now, create a list of your 'acts' (#winkwink), using the descriptive emojis only - these will form your game cards (click here for an example). Hand out to guests when you're ready to play; crowning the person or group with the most correct answers the dirtiest, cheekiest and/or naughtiest! I NEVER I’m sure many of you have played this game before! Simply ask the girls to sit in a circle and have your hen (or the organizer of the party – which is you, my friend!) pull out pre-made ‘I Never’ cards from a bowl and read them aloud to guests. The guest who HAS done the action before can then decide between telling their story to the group (after some liquid courage) or selecting a truth/dare from another bowl and completing that instead. MAN HUNT Before the celebration, write down as many different male characteristics as you can think of onto separate pieces of paper (enough for at least two per guest). These are your playing cards. Some examples include ‘man with red hair’, ‘man riding a bike’ and ‘a married man’. Hand the cards out on the day – making sure each person is given at least 2 characteristics. Explain that these playing cards are their ‘Ideal Men’, and it is their mission to hunt them down! The first person to find both of their ideal men wins! >>> RELATED ARTICLE: MAN HUNT, THE GAME! <<< PENIS ART Grab some fun kitchen utensils that can be used for carving up a cucumber/zucchini (at least one per guest; think anything from butter knives to peelers or skewers). To play, hand a carving utensil and cucumber/zucchini to each of the girls. On ‘Go!’, they must start sculpting their vegetable into the perfect penis! The catch? Each utensil can only be used for 30 seconds. Once this time is up, everyone must pass their utensil to the person next to them. Once each guest has used every utensil available, it’s time to judge the peckers! Hot tip: Have a number of winning categories – such as ‘Prettiest Penis’, ‘Biggest Penis’, ‘Ugliest Penis’, etc. It all adds to the fun! You can also make this game a little more PG by choosing to carve the bride or a shape that compliments your hen’s party theme (such as an ice-cream for a sweet tooth party, for example).
PIN THE JUNK
★Click here for a custom 'Pin the Junk on the Hunk' game★ Print off a LARGE photo/poster of your hen’s crush (for example) along with enough cartoon peckers for each guest. On the night, guests take it in turns to be blindfolded and spun before tying to ‘pin’ the pecker in the correct position. Make sure you write each guests’ name on their particular penis so that you can keep track of who is winning!
Hot tip: For my hen's party, the girls photoshopped a HILARIOUS picture of my husband’s face onto another man’s body. I couldn’t stop laughing whilst playing! If you don’t like the idea of ‘Pin the Pecker’, other alternatives include ‘Pash the Poster’ (use lipstick and ‘kiss’ the poster in the correct position), ‘Bouquet on the Bride’, ‘Ring on the Finger’, etc. You can get creative with this game – so use something that will be personal/make your bride-to-be laugh!
PLAYDOUGH PECKERS This game can be played in teams or as individuals (make your decision based on how much playdough you have!). To play, each team/individual is given some playdough and asked to mould a penis within a certain time-frame. Give prizes to the best shaped pecker, the biggest pecker, etc. (get creative and have some hilarious prizes to go with your hilarious categories)! Don’t want to mould a penis? Have teams mould a man, mould parts of a man, or mould the bride instead!
POSITION GAME
★Click here for a printable ‘Positions’ game★ Strictly 18+ only - the 'positions' game will have guests digging into their bedroom knowledge and laughing like crazy! To organise, find around 10 different 'position' names (such as 'the spider') and their corresponding images (I'd go for cartoons, but it's entirely up to you how risque your pictures get!). This information can then be used to create game cards on your computer. This is done by placing the images only on an A4 page, leaving space (such as a line or text box) for guests to write their guesses. Print off and hand out on the day, with the group/person to get the most right being the winner!
Hot tip: This game can be quite hard (pun intended). To make things easier, you can list the names of each position randomly at the bottom of the game card (or display the names randomly on a large blackboard at the front of the room). It's then up to guests to decipher which name goes with which image!
PUMP THE PECKER Ask guests to get into pairs. Each pair is given one balloon pump and one of those LONG balloons. One person from each pair then sits on a seat, with the balloon pump held tightly between their thighs; hands behind their back. On your word, the other person in each pair must place the balloon over the top of the pump, before kneeling down and pumping it up as fast as they can! First team to either pop or inflate their balloon wins! >>> RELATED ARTICLE: A CHEEKIER HEN DO GAME - PUMP THAT PECKER! <<< SELL YOUR SH*T! This activity is so much fun (and pretty easy to organise)! To play, all you have to do is put together a pack of products/objects that your hen has to try and sell during the celebration. Just how embarrassing these items are is entirely up to you! Once she's sold her loot, let the bride-to-be spend her earnings on something she really wants (which, let's be honest, will probably be that awesome looking cocktail at the nearest bar or a souvlaki from that food truck down the road!). Handy hint: Get guests involved by asking them to bring along ONE cheeky op shop item that your hen has to sell throughout the night. It will be hilarious seeing what everyone turns up with! SPIN THE BOTTLE Set up a circle of shot glasses, each filled with some sort of beverage (anything from straight alcohol such as vodka, to non-alcoholic drinks such as water or prune juice). In the middle of the circle, place a wine bottle (or something similar). To play, each guest takes their turn to spin the bottle; drinking the particular shot it stops at. Extra points for those who can drink with a straight face!
THIS OR THAT
★Click here for a range of hilarious ‘This or That’ printable games★ This one is guaranteed to get the party blushing and giggling! To play, pick a particular category (for example, 'porn or singing', 'boobs or but', etc.) and search the wide world of web for some hilarious images. Create game cards from your stash of piccies (click here for example layouts) and award points to those who guess right. Person with the most points at the end of the game wins!
TRUTH OR DARE
★Prefer to have pre-written truth or dare cards? Click here!★ Each guest writes down a truth or dare for the bride-to-be to complete. When everyone is done, collect the cards without your hen seeing what's been written. One by one, throughout the night, provide your hen with a truth or dare (stagger them so that she's not copping it all at once!). Give her a special prize once she makes it through them all - she'll deserve it!
Hot tip: our favourite way to play - ask guests to write their names at the bottom of each truth/dare that they've written. Once you've collected every card, announce to the group that they are actually completing the truth/dare they wrote down for the bride-to-be, WITH the bride-to-be!
WHAT AGE WAS THE BRIDE?
Click to view a stunning 'what age was the bride' game card printable Print off at least 5 photos of your hen from different points in her life (make sure you write down the correct age on the back of each photo or in a safe place). Bluetack the pictures to the wall (or pin to a pinboard) and ask the girls to guess what age the hen was in each photograph. The person who gets the most right wins! Hot tip: This game could also be played with photographs from the bride and groom’s relationship. The girls can then guess the order these big (or small!) events in their lives happened. Bonus points if they know the story behind the pic! BANNED WORDS Select a few words that can’t be mentioned throughout the party (that’s right, for the WHOLE duration!). Make sure you choose words that are definitely going to be said frequently (e.g. popular catch phrases within your group, the groom’s name, the wedding, etc.). Every time one of these banned words is used, that particular guest must pay the price (i.e. take a shot, answer a truth question, complete a dare/fine, etc.). Hot tip: At the beginning of the party, hand each guest one fun prop (such as a dress up accessory - you can find a variety of awesome options at second-hand stores!). If someone catches you saying a banned word, you must hand over your prop to the person who caught you out. The guest with the most props at the end of the party wins (and will also look amazing in their get-up)! DESIGNER GOWN On a computer, paste a picture of your hen’s face at the top of a blank A4 page. Print off enough of these as there are guests’ attending the party. On the day, have the girls design bridal gowns by drawing a dress, veil, shoes, etc. onto the page with your hen’s face at the top (this means they have to draw arms, legs, bodies, etc.). Drawing skills and dress-sense make this game hilarious – best dress wins! Hot tip: Play DIY Gowns (instructions below), but surprise guests by saying they have to re-create the bride’s favourite dress from this game. Team to do it best wins! D.I.Y. GOWN Split your guests into groups (with at least 3 team members per group). Each team then creates a designer wedding dress within 10 minutes using ONLY toilet paper (you can find bamboo and recycled toilet paper here). This is achieved by dressing one of the team members (a.k.a. the model) by wrapping, throwing, twisting, etc. toilet paper over their body. Once 10 minutes is up, the models put on a special catwalk show (prepare some fun music for this! My favourite track to use? ‘I’m Too Sexy’ by Right Said Fred). As they strut their stuff, guests can ‘ooh’ and ‘ahh’ over the ‘beautiful’ craftsmanship of each team. Now is also the time to have your judge select and announce best dress of the night! Hot tip: Add to the fun by having a ‘speaker’ from each team describe their designer dress to the crowd as their model walks the runway. Hearing the descriptions whilst watching the poor girl attempt to move in her toilet paper getup can be quite hilarious!
GETTING TO KNOW THE NEWLYWEDS - MR & MRS GAME
★Click here for a printable ‘Mr & Mrs’ game card★ A few weeks before the hen party, ask the groom to fill out/answer some questions about himself, his soon-to-be bride, and their relationship.
At the actual party, sit your beautiful hen down and, one-by-one, ask her those very same questions. The twist? She has to try and guess what her man answered. For every wrong answer she must complete a pre-determined punishment (e.g. drink, truth/dare, etc.). For every right answer, she can assign the punishment to one of her guests!
If she's not a big drinker/into dares, have a funny dress-up or item of clothing that she has to put on for every answer she gets wrong (and, in turn, for guests to put on when she gets an answer right).
Hot tip: Film the groom answering each question. You can then play each of his answers back on the TV after your bride has given her answer - telling the group whether or not she was correct!
HE SAID SHE SAID
Click to view some beautiful pre-made 'he said she said' game cards First of all, you have to come up with some cute couple questions to ask the bride and groom-to-be. These can be anything from 'who proposed?' to 'who wears the pants in your relationship?'. Print these questions off and head on over to your favourite couple's house; asking them to fill in the answers. Once you have the goss, print off as many question cards as there are guests attending the hen do/bridal shower. At the party, hand these question cards to each guest (or team) along with a pen. Ask your bride-to-be to slowly read the questions out loud to everyone, giving players time to answer on their sheet. When she's finished, you take over and give everyone the actual answers. One point is awarded for every correct answer - the person/team with the most points at the end wins! >>> RELATED ARTICLE: HOW TO PLAY THE ULTIMATE GAME OF HE SAID SHE SAID <<<
HOW WELL DO YOU KNOW THE BRIDE?
★Click here for a range of pre-written printable game cards★ Create questionnaires about your beautiful bride-to-be (include questions such as ‘Where did [bride] meet [groom]?’, ‘What is [bride] most afraid of?’, etc.). Print them off ready for the event.
At the party, ask guests to get into small groups (of around 3-4 people) and hand out one questionnaire per group. Have the bridesmaids and hen stand up front and centre, where one bridesmaid can read the questions aloud to the room (make sure you give groups enough time to talk it through and answer before moving onto the next question).
Once the game cards have been filled in, go through the questions once more – only this time have the bride-to-be answer each question herself. For every right answer, groups will receive one point. The group with the most points at the end of the game receives a prize!
Hot tip: Have ‘bonus rounds’ as part of the game. Ask one person from each group to go up the front and complete a mystery activity – with the winner of said activity winning their team an extra two points for their tally! Example bonus round activities include ‘best twerker’, ‘best impression of the ‘bride-to-be’, ‘best impression of the groom’, etc.
BEFORE & AFTER
★Click here for ‘before’ and ‘after’ printable signs★ Set up an area at your event especially for these photos. Make sure there's a nice backdrop (which could be elaborate or a simple white wall) and before/after photo props (either a blackboard with the word 'BEFORE' written on it, or a printable that's been laminated or mounted onto cardboard). As guests arrive, ask them to get snap happy whilst holding the 'before' sign. If you can manage it, get a group 'before' picture as well (with your bride-to-be up the front holding the sign).
When guests are getting ready to head on home, organise another group photo - bride-to-be up front and centre, this time holding the 'AFTER' sign. If you can manage it, get some cheeky individual 'after' photos of each guest before they leave as well!
Following the party, print off the photos and place them in a scrapbook/photo album and gift to your hen!
Hot tip: Upload the pics to your secret Facebook event or email so that everyone can have a giggle at the before's and after's (and reminisce about the good times had that day/night!).
CAPTURE THIS Whether you're after classy hen party games, or something a little bit cheekier - Capture This has all bases covered! Prior to the event, write down a list of categories that suit your bride and groom (‘The first time I saw you’, ‘our first date’ and ‘our first fight’, for example). On the day, break guests into small teams containing at least 4 people each. These teams are then assigned one of the categories from your list (whether you decide to give ALL teams the same category or each team a different category is entirely up to you). On ‘Go!’ teams then have 2 minutes to create a photo or selfie that relates to the category they were given. When the time’s up, teams get another 30 seconds to choose their favourite photo, which is presented to the bride-to-be. Your bride then chooses the winning team and presents them with their prize! >>> RELATED ARTICLE: CAPTURE THIS - THE HEN PARTY GAME <<< Hot tip: set up a Facebook group or email thread and ask guests to send all of their images through. This way your hen will have PLENTY of hilarious memories from her special day and/or night! CHARADES Write down a few words or phrases that are hen/wedding related (such as ‘The wedding night’, ‘strippers’, ‘the first kiss’, ‘walking down the aisle’, etc.). These words and phrases can be as risqué or PG rated as you like (think about your guests’ and hen when putting your list together, you don’t want to embarrass anyone!). Now, split the girls into two teams. Each team takes it in turns to have one person randomly pick a word/phrase from a bowl and attempt to act it out. The object of the game is to have the girls in your team guess the answer with gestures alone (i.e. the person who chose the word/phrase is not allowed to talk). Make it harder by setting a time limit. PASS THE BALLOON Split the group into teams. Ask each team to line up and, starting with the person at the very back, grip a long balloon between their knees or thighs; passing it up the line WITHOUT using their hands! First team to get the balloon to the front without dropping it or popping it wins! Fun addition: incorporate the game 'Balloon Pop' into this game - then the team who wins can make everyone else answer the question that comes out! Find instructions for Balloon Pop here. PICTIONARY (WITH A TWIST!) As with charades, write down a few words or phrases that are hens/wedding related (such as ‘the wedding night, ‘strippers’, ‘the first kiss’, walking down the aisle’, etc.). These words and phrases can be as risqué or PG as you like (think about your guests and hen when putting your list together, you don’t want to embarrass anyone!). Now, split the girls into two teams. Each team takes it in turns to have one person randomly pick a word/phrase form a bowl and attempt to draw it. The object of the game is to have the girls in your team guess the answer with pictures alone (i.e. the person who chose the word/phrase is not allowed to talk). Make it harder by setting a time limit. Alternative: rather than drawing, play this game with playdough! Especially funny when playing naughty pictionary! THAT'S MY MAN Before the hens night, find the worst photo you possibly can of your hen’s soon-to-be husband (or wife!). It can be when he was very drunk, waking up, surprised, generally looking weird, etc. Print this picture off and have your bride-to-be carry it around with her for the duration of her celebration. Why? Because every time someone from the group mentions the code-word (e.g. ‘Man, I’m itchy!’), your hen must go over to the nearest stranger, show them the picture of her partner and proudly tell them how excited she is to be marrying him! >>> RELATED ARTICLE: HILAROIUS HEN PARTY GAME - THAT'S MY MAN! <<< TRACING TRUTHS Grab a couple of A3 sized pieces of paper. To play, place one piece of paper on the ground and, one at a time, ask the girls to trace around their hands WITHOUT bending their knees! The best part? Your job. Write down EVERYTHING the girls say whilst they attempt to trace their hands (such as ‘This is so hard!’). Once everyone has had a turn, have the girls sit down and tell them something along the lines of: ‘Thanks to all of you we now know what our beautiful bride will be saying on her wedding night!’. Follow this by reading each of the statements out loud (putting the example from above into context, ‘this is SO hard!’). Your party will be in hysterics! >>> RELATED ARTICLE: TRACING TRUTHS... THE GAME WITH A TWIST! <<< WHO'S YOUR MAN? Before the party, ask the groom and each of his groomsmen to take pictures of body parts: nose, eye, foot, hair, hand, chin, bicep, etc. (I once attended a bridal shower where they also included bum shots!). Print each of these photos off at a fairly large size. On the day, make your way through the body parts; asking the bride-to-be to pick her husband’s photo from the rest (i.e. if the groom has three groomsmen, hold up the four pictures of noses and ask her to point to her groom’s nose. Do the same for hands, chins, etc.). Every wrong answer? Your lovely hen must drink! 
A WALK DOWN MEMORY LANE
Each guest writes down a special memory they have with the bride-to-be. When everyone is done, collect the memories and place them in a bowl. One by one, your hen reads them aloud to the group; trying to guess who each memory belongs to as she goes. If you want to up the ante, have your hen drink or do a pre-prepared dare for every wrong guess she makes. Hot tip: Stick the memories into a special book or photo album for your hen and they will become part of a beautiful keepsake that she can look back on for many years to come!
DATE NIGHT
★Click here for beautiful, printable date night cards★ On a piece of paper, each guest writes down one date night idea (anything from dinner and a movie to a relaxing day at the spa). When everyone is done, collect the date night ideas and place them in a photo album, scrapbook, box, etc. that can then be gifted to your hen.
This can also be played as the 'Bucket List'; meaning guests write down activities/challenges instead. Set up a table with a cute tin bucket or pot for all of the cards to be placed into, and gift to the bride at the end of her celebration.
Hot tip: after the party, your bride-to-be can use the tin bucket or pot to plant flowers - which will become a living reminder of the fun she had at her hens or bridal shower!
GIFTS FROM THE GIRLS Ask each guest to bring along a gift for the bride-to-be that either symbolises their relationship or brings back memories they have with the bride (e.g. a bottle of sour monkey brings back memories of festivals with my best friend). These gifts can be wrapped or unwrapped, that’s up to each individual guest. On the day of the party, your hen can open/look at each gift one-by-one, trying to guess who brought it (and why) as she goes.
MARRIAGE ADVICE
★Click here for beautiful, printable marriage advice cards★ On a piece of paper, ask guests to write down one piece of advice for your bride-to-be (e.g. try to have date night at least once a month). Then either have your hen read out each piece of advice to the room, or make it into a beautiful keepsake by placing the pieces of paper into a scrapbook or photo album.
Hot tip: Ask guests to write their advice on wooden spoons (or something similar, such as wooden popsicle sticks) and place them in a jar labelled 'Recipes for a good marriage'. Cute keepsake that your hen will adore!
SNAP THAT Before the celebration, type up a checklist that includes different group shot and portrait items. ‘The hen and her bridesmaids’, 'funny faces', ‘laughter’, ‘dancing’ and ‘a selfie’, are all great options. When guests arrive on the day, hand each of them a checklist and ask that they capture (photograph) as many items from the list as possible. The person who ticks off the most is the winner! Hens night games such as this aren't only fun, but also mean LOTS of great memories will be captured for your bride-to-be! >>> RELATED ARTICLE: A GAME & A KEEPSAKE ALL IN ONE - SNAP THAT <<< 
LET'S DANCE
Ask guests to stand in a circle; nominating your bride-to-be to get the dancing started. How does she do this? By making up one simple dance move (anything from a star jump to twerking)! For this example, let’s say she went with twerking. Starting with the person to her left, each guest takes it in turns to repeat the bride’s dance move. Once the entire circle has had a turn, the next player (person to the left of your bride) twerks before adding in their own move (e.g. a star jump). Each guest then has to twerk and do a star jump. Continue playing until every person has added their own move. The game finishes with the whole group performing their entire routine together! >>> RELATED ARTICLE: UNIQUE HEN DO GAME? WELL.. LET'S DANCE! <<< PERFECT POEMS Split guests into pairs (except for your hen) and give each twosome a special wedding word (such as marriage, stripper, party, ring, honeymoon, etc.). Explain that each pair is to come up with a poem that includes the bride-to-be, the two people in the pair AND the special word. This is to be done within 10 minutes. Once the time is up, have each pair read their poem aloud. Your hen then gets to choose the winner! RUBIK'S CUBE PARTY GAME Ask guests to arrive at the hen party in an outfit that resembles an incomplete Rubik’s cube (in other words, they arrive wearing the six different cube colours – red, blue, white, orange, green and yellow). The aim of the game is for guests to swap articles of clothing until they have ‘solved’ the cube (basically, until they’re wearing one colour only). Great fun - especially when additional rules are incorporated! >>> RELATED ARTICLE: HOW TO HOST THE ULTIMATE RUBIK'S CUBE PARTY <<< SCAVENGER HUNT Have a pre-made list of items and tasks that the girls must collect/complete during the hen party (such as ‘Make and wear a toilet paper veil’). You can either play this for fun (so everyone joins in each of the tasks) or make it a competition (by splitting guests into teams and assigning points to each item/task – with those receiving the most points by the end of the party being the winners). TRADE IT This game was suggested by our wonderful reader, Jillian! Hand your hen a little bag full of wrapped chocolates, and then explain that she is to trade these for unusual items throughout the night. Can you imagine the hilarious objects and stories this game will result in?! Hot tip: You can involve everyone in the fun if you wish. Simply present guests with five wrapped chocolates each, and explain that these are not to be eaten (unlucky!), but to be traded for random items throughout the night. The guest with the most unusual trade at the end of the celebration wins a prize! 
BALLOON POP
Before the party, write down 10 questions (up to you how cute or embarrassing they are!) and place them in 10 separate balloons. Throughout the night, have guests pop the balloons; with your hen answering whatever question happens to come out. If she fails/refuses to answer, give her a punishment (e.g. drink a shot, sip her drink, do a dare, etc.) >>> RELATED ARTICLE: HENS NIGHT GAME - POP THAT BALLOON! <<< Remember: place all balloons in the bin after use! BRIEF BUNTING Ask each of the girls to bring along one (new) pair of underwear as a gift for the bride. On the day, set up a piece of string or twine with cute wooden pegs – ready to hang the briefs on as guests arrive. At some point during the celebration, have your hen guess which guest brought which pair of underwear for her. Every wrong answer results in a drink/fine for your hen; whereas every right answer results in a drink/fine for the guest who was caught out! Tip: This game will provide you with some (hilarious) bunting! Perfect brief bunting positions include above the drinks table, above the food table, at the entrance to the party or as a decoration outside the bathroom/toilet! LOVE STORY At the top of a blank piece of paper, write the following sentence: ‘Once upon a time, a girl named xxx met a boy named xxx’ (insert bride and groom’s names where required). Starting with the first guest to arrive, ask her to write down two or three sentences that follow on from this first statement. Once she’s done, fold the paper down and cover everything but the final line of her writing. When the next guest arrives, have them write down two or three sentences that follow on from the previous guest’s uncovered line. Continue until everyone has had a turn. Now for the fun part! Pick a suitable time (such as when everyone is sitting down for lunch, during a bus ride to your activity, etc.) and read aloud the bride and groom’s true love story. Not only will it be hilarious at the time, it will also make a great keepsake! PASS THE PARCEL Select a special gift for your hen and wrap it in wrapping paper. Now, wrap as many other layers as there are guests attending (e.g. 10 guests = 10 more layers) in a different colour (newspaper or kraft paper are both great options). Make sure you place some sort of prize in each layer before it’s sealed. This can be anything from an organic pamper product, chocolate, drink cards or dress up accessories (sourced from a local second-hand store), to a truth/dare questions. On the big day, have everyone sit in a circle. Play music whilst guests pass the parcel around in a clock-wise direction. Stop the music; the person who is holding the parcel at that moment gets to unwrap one layer and receive their prize. Continue the game until all guests have unwrapped one layer each (making sure your hen receives the FINAL gift!). Handy hint: If you're looking for some great prize/gift ideas for this adult pass the parcel game, check out this blog! PICK THE LIE An easy game that will result in some great stories and lots of giggles! To play, simply sit in a circle and, starting with the hen, take it in turns to tell two truths and one lie (e.g. 'I went skinny dipping after my 21st', 'I snuck out of the house at least once when I was younger', 'I grew up in the circus'). It's then up to the rest of the group to guess which statement is the lie! You can turn this into a drinking game by having everyone drink if they guess which story isn't true, and having the liar drink if they're caught out. SLIP IT IN Before the party, write down enough phrases for at least one per guest. Some examples include ‘I went sky-diving last week’ and ‘I want to sail around Australia on my own’. Make sure the phrases are suitable for your particular group (i.e. if there’s grandparents in attendance you probably shouldn’t have any raunchy topics!). On the day, hand each person one phrase as they arrive, explaining that they are to try and ‘slip it in’ to conversation at some point throughout the day/night. The catch? They have to wait at least 5 MINUTES after saying their phrase before claiming victory! You’ll love watching as they try to keep the story going during this time without getting caught out. >>> RELATED ARTICLE: HENS NIGHT GAME - CAN YOU... SLIP IT IN?! <<< TRICK OR TREAT? Place a blackboard or sign on a table near the venue entrance that says 'Trick or Treat’. In front of this sign, have enough drinks for one per guest attending. As guests arrive, ask them to pick a beverage. The twist being that some are treats (i.e. cocktails, straight shots, etc.) and some are tricks (i.e. water, juice, etc.)!
