Plan the ultimate bachelorette party: The most popular hen party games

A bachelorette party is replicated around the age-old bachelor party, which is actually a pre-wedding dinner organised by the bridegroom for his friends. The concept of the bachelorette party is the same, but the only difference is that it is the bride who organises the dinner for her friends. In the UK and Ireland, bachelorette parties are also referred to as hen parties.

Initially, bachelorette parties involved displays of sexual freedom and enjoying male strippers while getting drunk. However, nowadays the focus of these parties is to celebrate the bride-to-be’s new journey into marriage. But these parties need to be fun too, right? Party games specifically meant for Bachelorette parties are a must for the bride’s last night as a single woman. These games will liven up the party and make sure that the bride and her friends have an unforgettable night to remember for the rest of their lives. This list summarises the most popular hen’s party games that you can use to plan the ultimate bachelorette party. Also, check some more fun ideas in an article by sparkous.com.

Porn or Polish

“Porn or Polish” is a hilarious game in which the guests have to pull a card from a jar and guess if the name mentioned on the card is of nail polish or a porn star. Prize can be given to the winner of each question or it can be given to a single winner who answered the highest number of correct answers. This game is a great addition to the party if the theme of the party is nail polish.

Steal your beads

In “steal your beads”, each guest is given beads to wear around their necks and told to have drinks only with their left hand. If a guest drinks with the right hand, then any other guest who identifies this action can steal her beads. The guest with most beads at the end of the party wins a prize. This game can be made more interesting and tough by including additional rules too.

Stud or dud

In this game pictures of guys are printed out and the guests decide whether the celebrity is a stud or a dud. The pictures can be of celebrities or it can be of guys related to various professions like doctor, handyman or office manager. More the variety of studs and duds, more the fun!

Once all the photos are printed out, they can be used as a deck of cards from which the guests can choose a card and announce the name of their stud or dud. Then the group gets to vote for him – a thumbs up “stud” or thumbs down “dud”. The guest who has the Groom’s picture gets an extra special prize. Guests who get a stud card will be given a small gift whereas the guest who has a dud card gets nothing.

Loose lips

This is a fun game to play during any bachelorette party. The organiser decides on a few taboo words that are forbidden to be used during the party. These may be the most common words which are hard to resist. If any of the guests slip tongue and uses the word, then she’ll be told to perform an embarrassing act or dare.

Most likely to

This is a game that can be played only when everyone in the guest list knows one another, so it would be wise to skip this game if there are different sets of guests during the party. But this issue doesn’t stop this game from being hilarious and scandalous at the same time.

This game is played with a set of index cards and a pen. Everyone will need to have their own set of cards with the names of each player on a card. So, if say six girls are playing, each girl should hold six cards, one with their own name and rest for each of their fellow players. After this, each player will get a turn to present her situation in the form of the “Most Likely To…” situation, and then each player will have to throw the card with the name of the player who they think is fit or capable to perform in the mentioned situation. The player with the most votes needs to have a drink and also need to come up with the next scenario.

Guess the Panties

This is a very simple game and acts as an icebreaker. Each guest brings a set of untagged lingerie as a gift for the bride-to-be, but it is important to make sure that the bride-to-be does not see who has brought what. All the lingerie items are placed in a bag and the Bachelorette is asked to reach out into the bag and pick one item and have to guess who among the guests may have brought the picked-up item. If the Bachelorette is able to correctly guess then the guest who has bought the item needs to have a drink, else if the Bachelorette is wrong, then she is going to have that drink.

This game can have many variations and instead of lingerie, the organiser can choose to include any other kinky or funny item.

Toilet paper wedding dress game

This is a very popular hen’s game and it involves creativity and competitiveness. Everyone in the party can play this game and every guest gets a chance to show their creativity. All you need for this game is some cheap toilet rolls, and some paper clips. Now let us see how to play this game. The guests are divided into teams and are assigned a dedicated area of the room. All teams are provided with the toilet rolls and paper clips. A member of the team is selected as a “bride” model on whom the creativity will be done. The rest of the team now needs to create a gown out of toilet rolls and paper clips for the “bride” model within a stipulated time period. The team who comes up with the best gown wins the game and also gets a prize.
