Planning a hen party and want to ensure it’s a blast? Incorporating some fun and engaging games is key! Here are a few ideas to get the laughter flowing, perfect after you’ve surprised the bride-to-be with thoughtful hen party gifts.
**Game 1: The Leg Crossing Challenge**
This game is deceptively simple and always a hit. As guests gather for present opening, give each person a clothespin (plastic ones are recommended to avoid snags). Each guest attaches the clothespin to their skirt or pants. The challenge? Avoid crossing your legs! If someone catches you in the act, they get to clip their clothespin onto your clothing. The same applies to them, of course. It sounds easy, but you’d be surprised how often we unconsciously cross our legs. As guests get absorbed in conversation and watching the presents being opened, they often forget, leading to hilarious moments. At the end of the present opening, the person with the fewest clothespins wins!
**Game 2: The Mr. and Mrs. Quiz**
Inspired by the popular TV show, this game is always a crowd-pleaser. It’s simple to play, and the questions can easily be customized to the couple. Here are some example questions:
* Where was your partner born?
* What color are his/her eyes?
* Is your partner a tidy person?
* Does he/she enjoy cooking?
* Does he/she like sports?
* What is their favorite TV show?
* What was your partner’s first job?
* What does your partner do for work?
* What newspaper does he/she read?
* What is his/her favorite place?
**Game 3: Naughty Bananas**
This game is guaranteed to produce some laughs. You’ll need two bananas, two pairs of handcuffs, and two brave volunteers. Have the volunteers sit on chairs, place a banana between their legs, and handcuff their hands behind the chair. The object of the game is to peel and eat the banana without using their hands. The first one to finish wins! This game is definitely not for the faint of heart.
No matter what games you choose or the venue you select, hen parties are always memorable, for better or for worse! So, embrace the fun, plan ahead, and create an unforgettable experience for the bride-to-be.
