Planning for a bachelorette get together, or a Hen party if you are actually in the UK is probably the least difficult parts of a wedding to plan. You will find lots of suggestions for activities to do and a bunch of selections for games. Many of those ideas are a tad on the racy side, but there are plenty that which are just plain clean fun.

For instance, one well-known hens game involves asking your guests to become poets. Ahead of the get together, get 50 index cards and on half, write romantic things, like “roses”, “cuddly”, etc. On the other 25 cards, write very non-romantic terms or phrases, like “nose hairs” or “ironing”. Then have every invitee pull one card from each and every pile. They must then create a silly poem based on the two completely different words or phrases they have chosen, for example, “Roses are red, your nose hairs are ewwwww.”

One entertaining game that is sure to engender at least a few laughs is “name that item”. Take a paper bag (a fabric bag is much better should you have one) and fill up the bag with typical ‘male things”. The things could include a razor, a money clip, a tie, shoe polish, etc. Close the bag, or fold it over really well. Then have each and every guest feel the bag and then try to guess the contents. Have them write their guesses on a sheet of paper. After everyone has had an opportunity to feel the bag, the contents are shown and the person with the most number of accurate guesses receives the bag of male-oriented items.

Bachelorette/Hen party activities are not only designed to provide enjoyment to the celebration, but sometimes to help people get acquainted with each other. This might be a good opportunity for the bride’s best friend to get to know the sister of the bridegroom, or for the bride to get close to the groom’s cousin or niece. So an icebreaker game isn’t a bad strategy.

This is not possibly the most intelligent of an icebreaker game, but it will likely break the ice early on in the evening before you head out to other events. Play a game called “I have never…” and find out exactly who takes the most drinks. So the first lady claims, “I have never…” and completes the sentence. The ladies that have done the thing the first woman claims she’s never done have a drink. Then the following lady claims to have “never” done something.

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