Planning for a bachelorette get together, or a Hen party if you are actually in the United kingdom is just about the easiest parts of a wedding to arrange. You will find literally hundreds of options for things to do and a myriad of options for games. Many of those ideas are a bit on the racy side, but there are plenty that which are simply clean fun.

For instance, one well-known hens game will involve asking the guests to become poets. Before the get together, take fifty index cards and on one half, compose romantic things, like “roses”, “cuddly”, etc. On the other half 25 cards, write very non-romantic words or phrases, like “nose hairs” or “ironing”. Then have each invitee pull one card from each heap. They should then come up with a silly poem based on the two completely different words or phrases they have chosen, for instance, “Roses are red, your nose hairs are ewwwww.”

One fun game that is sure to engender at least a few laughs is “identify that object”. Take a paper bag (a cloth bag is better if you have one) and fill the bag with common ‘male things”. The things might include a razor, a money clip, a tie, shoe polish, etc. Close the bag, or fold it over really well. Then have each invitee feel the bag and then try to guess the contents. Have them write their guesses on a piece of paper. Immediately after everyone has had a chance to feel the bag, the items are shown and the person with the most number of accurate guesses will get the bag of male-oriented items.

Bachelorette/Hen party games are not only meant to bring fun to the celebration, but sometimes to help individuals get acquainted with each other. This can be a good opportunity for the bride’s closest friend to get to know the sister of the groom, or for the bride to get close to the groom’s cousin or niece. Therefore an icebreaker game isn’t a bad strategy.

This isn’t perhaps the most intelligent of an icebreaker game, but it will likely break the ice early in the evening before you head out to other events. Play a game known as “I have never…” and see exactly who takes the most drinks. So the first woman claims, “I have never…” and finishes the sentence. The ladies that have done the thing the first woman claims she’s never done take a drink. Then the following lady claims to have “never” done something.

A few recommendations for this game are: “I have never …”  *Lied about my age *Lied about my weight *Shoplifted *Got a speeding ticket *Ran naked through my house
