Is it necessary to arrange
Gatherings between the bride and her bridesmaids have already become an established pleasant tradition. In the old days, at such an event, girls spent time with sadness and tears in their eyes, even if the wedding was arranged for love. The bride had to leave her parents' home and face a new role as a wife and mother, so this mood was reinforced by appropriate songs.
Nowadays hen parties before the wedding have a completely different format. They try to make them fun and relaxed in order to keep them in memory for many years, because it is unknown whether the girlfriends will be able to get together again in full force. To ensure that everyone present at the event enjoys it, it is advisable to choose interesting games for the bachelorette party.
Interesting! Also find out what ideas you can choose for a bachelorette party and how to create a menu.
At the beginning of the evening, they will help the girls relieve possible tension and embarrassment. This is especially true if the bachelorette party will be attended by girlfriends who are strangers or barely know each other. Joint games for a bachelorette party for girlfriends will allow you to quickly get used to the company and enjoy it to the fullest. In addition, such a pastime will allow you to take interesting photographs that will preserve the memory of the event.
Erotic contests - for those who are not shy
At first glance, this is not the most suitable entertainment for someone who is getting married soon. On the other hand, when else will it be possible to go and have fun?
Print out photographs of your favorite and most beautiful celebrities, cut them into medium-sized “puzzles” and try to assemble them. The one who does it faster will win. And then you can try to assemble the “ideal man”. It’s especially fun if you choose not only famous faces, but also full-length photos.
And here is an even more frank competition. Draw three targets on a mannequin - or, jokes aside, on a living person. For example, on the cheek, chest and abs. Invite your friends to kiss these targets, but blindfolded, after twirling and without touching the mannequin - or not the mannequin - with their hands. The one who is closest to the targets wins.
Prizes and fines
If games and competitions will be held at the bachelorette party, you need to think about what the girls will receive for winning or losing. To do this, it is worth paying attention to their interests and temperaments, since, for example, prizes with erotic overtones are not suitable for modest women.
You can use sweets or pleasant trinkets as bonuses for winning competitions and games. You can also purchase small things that will be useful around the house, for example, ice cube trays, oven mitts, thermal wipes, etc.
We also need to think about fines - what girls should pay for losing in a game or competition. If there is alcohol at the celebration, then the bride and her bridesmaids can drink an extra sip of wine or a glass of strong drink for their failure.
You can also come up with interesting tasks for the losers, for example, stand for 5 minutes on one leg, read a poem or sing a song with a mouth full of sweets, kiss a random passerby on the street, etc. Games and competitions for a bachelorette party will help create the right atmosphere at the event.
The most popular competitions of all time
The advantages of the time-tested and public-tested competitions that will be discussed are so numerous that listing them may require a separate article. Therefore, I will give only a few of them.
- Versatility of the venue. You can play at home, outdoors, in a cafe or restaurant, in a sauna, bathhouse, on a ship or in a limousine - in a word, wherever you please!
- Availability. Props for such competitions can be bought in a specialized store in Moscow, St. Petersburg or another large city, ordered on the Internet or made yourself - it will take a minimum of effort and very little time.
- Simplicity. You won't have to figure out the rules for a long time. Moreover, they can easily be changed, “customized” to suit your own preferences: introduce a tough competitive element or, on the contrary, arrange a relaxed, unhurried and not too competitive game with purely symbolic prizes.
- Variation and variety. Competitions can be adapted to any chosen holiday theme - all you need is a little creativity and free time to properly prepare everything.
Let's take a look at the most exciting games and competitions that have long been recognized by the general public.
"Forfeits" - a provocative game
Great for relaxing in a crowded place, such as a park, nightclub, restaurant or cafe. However, if you have some imagination, you can throw a crazy party even at home.
Forfeits are plastic or cardboard cards on which tasks of varying difficulty levels are written and the number of points that a participant in the competition will receive for completing them. For example, tasks could be:
- “Go up to any handsome stranger and persuade him to recite a poem or sing a song for your .
- “Ask a stranger for an autograph (candy/cigarette/handkerchief/pen/cell phone/condom/your choice).”
- “Persuade a stranger to buy drinks for all your friends (some friends, if the group is large enough).
For those who love quiet, cozy holidays, tasks can be less provocative or more intellectual (for example, guessing a riddle or remembering a poem). You can diversify the scenario of the evening by adding all sorts of bonuses, jokes and so-called “lucky forfeits” or “counterfeits” to the deck of forfeits, tasks from which are performed by everyone except, directly, the one who drew the card.
The order is set “freely”: you can simply draw cards from the deck one by one, you can arrange a draw each time - in a word, that’s why it’s a game, to play it the way you want and have fun.
"Mafia" - classic entertainment
The rules of this game have long been known to the general public and involve such a huge number of innovations and various variations that it would be a crime against saving time to dwell on them.
I’ll tell you only about one extremely funny variation of the famous game that I know of. “Civilians” in it were replaced by “bachelors”, “mafia” - by “bride”, “doctor” - by “groom”, and the ironic presenter, instead of an afterlife voice and text in the spirit of Chicago in the eighties, amused the participants adapted to the rules of the game a pathetic story about a ship of love on the river of life.
As you can see, the game can be adapted even to a wedding theme, and if you have the desire, you can adapt it to any other theme.
“Stickers” - for those who like things “more complicated”
The advantage of this competition is that it does not require any special props: all you need is a set of stickers - pieces of paper that are usually glued to refrigerators and desks as notes.
However, this time they will have to be glued not on the refrigerator or on the desk, but on the forehead - one piece of paper for each participant. You need to write in advance on each sticker the name of a character, a real person or the name of an animal - depending on the given topic. This could be, for example:
- The names of animals that men use to address girls are “bunny”, “fish”, “kitten”, “tigress”, etc.
- Celebrity names - for a party in a trendy modern style.
- Disney princess names for a Disney themed bachelorette party.
- The names of Greek goddesses are suitable for a holiday in the Empire style, but only if the girls are well versed in mythology, because they will have to guess such colorful heroines.
- Names of characters from the film/book on which the bachelorette party was based (for example, “Alice in Wonderland”).
Each participant in the competition knows what the others have written, but does not know her character. She has to guess it using questions that can only be answered “yes” or “no.” If you receive a positive answer, you have the right to ask the next question. Received a negative result - the move goes to the next participant. The one who guesses his hero first wins.
Funny fortune telling
Since ancient times, girls have gathered together to tell fortunes - for their betrothed, for events, for the fulfillment of desires. At the bachelorette party before the wedding, you can also observe this tradition, albeit in a humorous version. There are the following options for fortune telling.
- With the help of a friend. You can first agree with a male friend so that he can be in touch during the bachelorette party. Via the Internet or SMS messages, he needs to send questions from the girls one by one, and he will give interesting answers. The point is that the friend will not know from whom the questions are coming, so the results of such fortune-telling may be unexpected and funny;
- Fortune cookies. If the bride is good at cooking, she can prepare breakable cookies in advance, inside of which you will need to put small leaves with fortunes. They can be both romantic and funny;
- On the book. First you need to select a work of art in a printed version. The girls take turns asking a question that interests them, giving the page and line number. The rest open the book at the right place and read out the “prediction”;
- On wax. This fortune telling can be considered “serious”; it could also be found at hen parties in ancient times. To predict the future, a candle is lit, the melting wax is collected in a spoon, and then quickly poured into a container of water. They make fortunes by the resulting figure, guessing what it looks like;
- At Kinder Surprises. You can combine business with pleasure - sweets and fortune telling. You need to buy a Kinder surprise for each girl and, during the tea party, see who gets which toy, and then guess what it might indicate.
Important! Although such fortune-telling is considered humorous, pleasant predictions can cheer up girls and set them up for positivity. In addition, this is another reason to dream together about husbands, children and a happy life.
Tasks for the bride for a bachelorette party
A bachelorette party should be a fun holiday dedicated to the bride, who is already so exhausted from the pre-wedding bustle that she just needs to relax and unwind with her close friends before such a significant event in her life.
Therefore, it is better to spend it in a relaxed, carefree and cheerful atmosphere, and to maintain a good mood, all kinds of competitions and tasks for the bride are necessary

A new tradition of pre-wedding celebrations is saying goodbye to your maiden name . This symbolizes the girl's farewell to her unmarried life. Often this ritual is performed at a bachelorette party on the eve of the wedding. The launch of balloons with the girl’s name written on a piece of paper or a wooden sign, which they jointly launch into the sky, looks beautiful and symbolic. Also for these purposes you can use: Chinese lanterns, a paper boat, a message in a bottle, the flame of a candle over which the bride’s surname written on paper is burned, or a custom-made candle with the surname, which is lit at the beginning of the evening and does not go away until it will burn out.
Saying goodbye to your maiden name at a bachelorette party
You can organize a quiz for the bride . To do this, friends who know the groom need to conduct a quick survey with him in advance, and then ask the same questions to their friend. If the bride and groom's answers do not match, the bride must fulfill the wish made by her friends. This is a kind of payment for the fact that she does not know her husband thoroughly. When compiling such a quiz, you can come up with funny questions for the bride about the groom.
of quests , tests and riddles are very popular You can start your bachelorette party by going on a quest, or you can come up with one yourself. For example, according to your clues and riddles, the bride must find the place where her farewell party with her friends will be.
Competitions for the bride at the bachelorette party
However, if you plan to plan the quest yourself, you will have to work hard and think through everything. Such active leisure will 100% appeal to active and purposeful girls and will be an excellent start to a noisy friendly party.
"Frank Confession"
One of the most interesting game options for a bachelorette party; before the wedding, it would be nice to have fun and relax with your friends. Each girl is given a small piece of paper and a pen.
The bride and her bridesmaids need to remember their funny, embarrassing or piquant secret and write it down on a piece of paper.
It is important not to mention any names - neither your own nor those of the participants in the event, so that it is impossible to immediately guess who wrote it.
All secrets are put into a hat or bag and mixed. Then each girl in turn takes out one of the pieces of paper, reads it out loud and tries to guess who wrote it. If he turns out to be right, he receives a prize; if he is wrong, he pays a “fine.”
"Fanta"
This good old game for a group of friends will liven up the atmosphere at a bachelorette party and liberate shy girls. First, the bride will need to prepare cards with funny tasks. The groom can help her with this. When composing tasks, you need to consider what they should be:
- cheerful;
- quickly executable;
- creative;
- not offensive;
- not physically difficult;
- not shameful.
You need to put one personal item for each girl in a hat or purse - this is a kind of pledge. It can be lipstick, a mirror, a pendant, a watch and other small items. A presenter is selected, who briefly turns away from everyone, and at this time one of the players takes out one of the pledges with the words “What should this phantom do?”
After this, the presenter selects one of the cards at random, and the girl whose item was taken from the hat completes the task. There is another version of this game for a bachelorette party. It’s not the pledges that are put in one place, but the cards themselves, and the girls take turns taking out tasks and completing them.
About brides and grooms
What is the most talked about before a wedding? Of course, about future newlyweds. This concept can be safely expanded: after all, all the girls are future or former brides, and the guys are grooms. Holding competitions and games on this topic is a must at the holiday.
Your "nickname"
Girls often come up with affectionate nicknames based on the names of animals: kitty, swallow, bunny, chicken... Well, or tigress, snake, panther. This is a great reason to hold a funny competition.
It will require pictures of the corresponding animals, which are attached to the back of each guest. The main thing is that she herself does not know what kind of animal it is. The task is to ask leading questions to others and determine your name. The winner is the one who asked the least.
The life path of the bride
Friends from the yard, school, or university probably remember interesting situations, funny incidents that happened to the culprit of the event. Each of them must write them down on a piece of paper, which is then glued in chronological order onto one sheet.
The ceremonial reading of the collective biography is interesting to everyone. It can also be used as a source of tricky questions for the groom at the upcoming wedding. Or decorate it beautifully and offer to buy it for him or a friend.
DIY wedding dress
The girlfriends must build a dress from scrap materials. It’s worth taking a camera, funny photos for memory are guaranteed.
To carry it out you will need a variety of little things: scraps of fabric, crumpled paper, napkins, you can even take toilet paper. You also need scissors and tape. From all this, with a joint effort, a fashion masterpiece is created on the bride.
The best handbag
As you know, in a girl’s purse you can find items that will come in handy in the most unforeseen circumstances. This competition will show who among those present is best prepared for such situations.
You will need a table of the “cost” of each item, as well as pieces of paper and pens for calculations. According to the table, the item is named, if it is present in the bag, then points are written down on a piece of paper. Whoever scores the most wins a prize. Sample list:
Mirror, comb, lip gloss | 1 point each |
Phone, wallet, credit card | 1 point each |
Pills, patch, tampons or pads | 2 for each title |
Deodorant, chewing gum, wet wipes | 3 points each |
In the image and likeness
It was the grooms turn. These fun activities are suitable for almost any company. To hold this competition, you need inflatable balls of different shapes and sizes.
The balloons may already be inflated, or this process will become part of the game. Using threads, tape, and markers, the girls, one by one or in groups, must mold the man of their dreams. The one with the cutest or funniest wins.
Get to know your loved one
This game is only for the bride. It will require preparation, but the results are worth it.
In advance, you need to ask the groom and about five of his friends to photograph individual parts of the body: navel, ear, finger, etc. You can try to take these details from photos on social networks. The bride will have to determine which ones belong to her future husband.
Advice for a future wife
Everyone comes up with a life situation and a way to solve it. For example, if your husband throws his socks around, you should give him clothespins. Then the neighbor is told the first part, and she names her version of the second part. And so on in a circle. There is a reward for the funniest questions and answers. For example, a certificate for “The best teacher.”
"Best women's handbag"
Men often joke about the capacity of handbags and the things that can be found in their depths. In a close group of women you can test how prepared the bride and her friends are for unforeseen circumstances. It is worth making a table in advance in which each item that can be found in a purse is assigned a certain number of points. The girl who collects the most will win.
For example, lipstick, a mirror, a comb and powder are frequent guests in women's handbags, so you can earn 1 point for these items. The same can be said about your phone, wallet and bank card. Not everyone has medicines and hygiene products, so 2 points are given for them. There are also very rare things, for example, a set of screwdrivers or a hair dryer - they can be awarded 5 or even 10 points. The presenter can read out the items on this list and those girls who have the name of the item in their bags lay them out in front of them. At the end, everyone counts the points together and determines the winner.

"Question answer"
There are several variations of this game for a bachelorette party at home. The most popular involves making many cards, some with questions and others with answers. Groups of leaves are folded into separate hats or bags and mixed.
