Hen Party Games

Hen party games?! Really? No matter what you think about hen parties, bridal showers or bachelorette parties, a few hen party games are a must to get the laughs and set the party tone. favourites are the Mr & Mrs quiz see below and the Prosecco Pong!

1. The toilet paper wedding dress game

Yes, we know! The hen party game does sound a little random and gross but trust us, it can be one of the funnest! This hen party game involves lots of toilet paper and putting everyone into small teams.

2. Pin the trunks on the hunks!

Print a large picture of a hunk or hunks. This could be the groom but you could include the groom along with some celebrity hotness like Ryan Gosling, Ryan Reynolds or Chris Hemsworth (whoever the bride has a crush on or her teenage crush) Much like pin the tail on the donkey, you can then take it in turns to pin some trunks on him whilst blindfolded. This game could be a lot ruder…use your imagination.

3. Prosecco Pong

New on our hen party games list is Prosecco Pong! This is a fun spin on the popular US college game, beer pong. You can think of it as a classy hen party idea or the path to hen party carnage. Either way, it will be a talking point and will ensure the hen party fun gets going.

4. How well do you know the bride

An oldie but a goodie. This is a great quiz for a gang that don’t know each other well. Everyone can have a laugh with this once you get the questions right. Don’t worry about them being able to answer them all, the wrong answers are funnier. Make teams to work on the answers and get the bride to give her responses to the group. Award a prize for best worst answer as well as the team that gets most right.

5. Who’s who and guess her age

This is a good one over dinner or to play at the welcome / reception drinks. This involves getting a mix of baby bride and baby groom photos in advance. Put the baby photos of the bride and groom side by side and get guests to figure out who’s who. Use a variety of photos of the bride at different ages and ask people to guess.

6. Naughty moulding

All you need for this game is play-doh. It’s another hilarious option and watch how competitive it gets. You can let the girls play individually or put everyone into teams. Give everyone some play-doh and ask them to mould various body parts. How risque is up to you! You can make it as competitive as you like and get votes for the best shapes. You can also ask them to create something that represents the bride. You’d be surprised at how fun this is and how creative your ladies are! We recommend playing this after a few drinks. You can also split the group into teams and ask them to create a man.

7. Hen Party Charades

This is a classic game and a good fall back for any party in need of a boost. The hen party spin on it is picking girlie charades themes – chick flicks and hot celebrities etc should be on the list . You can also add some more fun by adding people in her life from the groom, to her mother, inlaws, to ex-boyfriends to herself. Another option is changing the original charades format and getting the girls to work in pairs and to act out famous scenes from different chick flicks. Think the jumping routine in Dirty Dancing and the top of the world from Titanic. Be inspired by Legally Blonde, The Notebook, Clueless, How to lose a guy in 10 days, Mean Girls, Crazy Stupid Love, When Harry Met Sally, Breakfast at Tiffanys, Sleepless in Seattle, Pretty Woman, Bridesmaids and whatever girlie cheese you can think of!

8. Celebrity Heads

This isn’t a hen specific game but works really well as an icebreaker. For those of you who haven’t played this, it’s a very simple game. All you need is some post its and pens. If you are a little miss crafty, you can put your own creative touch on the game tools! How it works Everyone sits around in a circle and writes down a celebrity name on a post it without anyone seeing. They then place it on the forehead of the person next to you. Everyone else does this so that all guests have a celebrity name on their forehead that they can’t see. The game then works around the circle with each person asking a question about their celebrity. They can only be given a yes or no answer. You keep going around until everyone has guessed who their celebrity is. For a fun hen party twist, maybe use celebrity brides or one half of a famous couple.

9. Memory Lane

This is the perfect icebreaker for a hen party group who know the bride from different parts of her life, and don’t necessary know each other that well. There are various ways this game can be played. It’s also nice for the bride to be as it’s one of the personal games. How it works. Before the hen party, ask all the guests to think of a memory or when they first met the bride and write it on a piece of paper. At the hen party, put all the memories into a hat and get the bride to pull them out one by one. She will read the memory out and guess which of her friends it is. This also lets the other girls know how the other guests first met the bride to be. Even some who are friends with the other guests might be surprised. Let the guests know to be as funny, sentimental or embarrassing as they like!

Without a doubt, The Mr & Mrs Quiz is a must for any Hen Party.

Easy to do, with maximum impact - simply ask the brides fiancee for answers before the Hen.

On the night of the Hen party ask the Bride what she thinks he answered. If she gets it wrong she must pay the price!

Why not turn it into a hen party drinking game – for every question she gets wrong, she has to down a shot. For every Mr & Mrs Quiz question she gets right, the rest of the hens have to have a shot. Or if the bride isn't a big drinker, you can have an item of fancy dress for her to put on for every question she gets wrong.
