Hen Party Games - Planning the Perfect Bachelorette Party

Hen party games are usually intended to celebrate the bride, act silly and enjoy a few good laughs together before a friend gets married and moves on with her life. The best party games help the bride feel as if she has played a meaningful part in the lives of everyone in attendance. The games focus on silly situations or things specifically about the bride and the experiences she has shared with those at the party. Other games offer a chance to get the bride attention from strangers and make her standout during the celebration.

One of the most popular hen party games is 'truth or dare'. There are plenty of variations on this game, but the point is to pose an embarrassing or revealing question to someone. If she chooses not to answer the question, she must perform an action that is equally or more embarrassing than the question. The game can be tailored to suit groups of all sizes and should involve people who know one another well enough to ask some very revealing questions .. Though you want to be provocative, do your best to keep the game from getting nasty or too over-the-top with personal questions. This avoids hurt feelings and ensures everyone is having a good time.

Another popular hen party game is to alter a children's game to be risqué. For instance, girls can play a few rounds of Hot Potato, but instead of using a traditional potato, they use an adult toy in its place. This is a great chance to make party guests blush and get a few risky photos that can later be shared with friends (or on Facebook) who did not attend the party. Other revamped children's games include Pin the Tail on the Donkey and the Pinata Game. In both cases, the traditional items are replaced with adult-oriented items such as photos of scantily clothed men.

There are also a number of hen party games that are card or board games designed especially for the event. The games encourage sharing secrets, laughing about compromising situations and encouraging party guests to share plenty of fun and laughter with the bride. Some games also encourage interaction from strangers and are intended to be used in a bar or club setting. T-shirts and sashes that feature the bride and her party are great for prompting other patrons to buy the bride a drink or otherwise make a fuss of her in celebration of her wedding.
