You have to have your best girlfriends, of course, that’s a given, and you have to have food and drinks that everyone will love and enjoy, but there are a couple of other things that you need as well. No bachelorette party would be complete without a few dirty stories and embarrassing truths about an ex or even current boyfriends and husbands, a stripper may be a nice addition, if that is your interest, and of course, you need at least a couple of bachelorette party games to keep things moving along. We have put together a list of 20 of the best bachelorette party board games, bachelorette party card games, and naughty games to play at a bachelorette party that will surely be the thing that makes this a night to remember for both the bride to be and her beloved companions. We have divided the list into four categories and suggested a few in each one. These categories are printable games, drinking games, classic fun games, and limo games. With each game, we have listed what you need, how many players can be involved, how long it takes to play, and of course a basic rundown of the instructions. If there are online resources that you need, you can find them with a basic Google or Bing search, as these games are very common.

3. Printable Bachelorette Party Games One of the best ways to get a few games arranged for your bachelorette party is to use printable bachelorette party games. These games have been around in some form since the late 70s to early 80s, but these days they are a lot more accessible due to the internet. You don’t need much to play, just download the template and have them printed on nice paper at your local print shop, or if you have a printer at home, you can do it yourself. Games such as scavenger hunt, bingo, scramble, and balderdash in fun bridal-related forms can be exciting, and with a little creativity, dare we say a little daring as well! Steal our list of what to prep, or feel free to switch it up to fit the tone of the gathering. 1. Bachelorette Scavenger Hunt (free templates) • Number of players: 3-10+ (large groups can be divided into smaller teams to compete against each other). • Time needed: from 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on the number of tasks and any dares that may be included in the game along the way • The gist: This is a classic favorite for bachelorette parties. The group is divided into two or more teams and each team is given a list of things to find, chores to accomplish or dares to undertake in lieu of doing the things on the challenge list. Short videos or pictures are taken as proof of the thing being accomplished or the dare being completed. When everyone gathers again at the end of the game the pictures and videos are shared, usually on a large screen device so everyone can see, and everyone has a good time laughing about the adventures that occurred along the way. If you want this game can actually be expanded to take up the entire night with everyone meeting several hours later for drinks and food at a popular bar or club to cap things off. You can also make this activity R-rated if you like, or keep it clean for old-fashioned fun.

4. What to prep: 1. List of challenges for every group or player. 2. Camera to record their progress, or make sure at least one person in each group has a smartphone with a camera. 3. Some cheap countdown timers, one for each group, so everyone can keep track of the game’s progress 4. A chat app such as Skype or Facetime installed so everyone can keep in touch over the course of the game to share updates and fun moments. • How to play: Step 1. Divide the group into teams and hand them a list of challenges. You need to prepare a list of challenges for every group or player, depending on the number of guests. You may include different tasks like finding a random couple who has been together for at least 40 years, you might get a stranger to perform their idea of the perfect song for the bride’s first dance, etc. When coming up with tasks use your imagination and get creative. Remember this is all about having a fun time and being daring. Step 2. Make sure everyone has cameras to record their progress and timers to check the time left. Encourage them to collect their pieces of evidence, be it photos, videos, or actual items in a creative and fun way. Step 3. Set a time and place where the teams will meet after the game is over. For an extra fun, challenge make getting to the meetup location at a certain time the last task on the list, or the team forfeits. Step 4. The team that completes more tasks wins. Groups that do not complete their list within the allotted time have to buy rounds of drinks for the whole group of party attendees. There are 3 variations of a bachelorette scavenger hunt fun party games: a photo hunt, an outdoor hunt, and a scramble hunt. Choose your favorite!

5. Photo Bachelorette Scavenger Hunt (clean) This game has both clean/R-rated variations and includes taking pictures of the challenges. These might include selfies with objects or people, and taking pictures of memorable objects. A list of bachelorette party scavenger hunt tasks for the clean version could include ideas such as these: Find a random guy to snap and post a picture of you on his Facebook page, with a crazy caption. Convince a random guy to show you a tattoo on a concealed place on his body. Get a guy who can sing the last two lines of an Ed Sheeran song quite well and upload it on Instagram. etc A list of bachelorette party scavenger hunt tasks for the r-rated version could include ideas such as these: Find a random guy to snap and post a picture of you topless to his Snapchat, with a sexy caption. Find a random guy who has a very large endowment and gets him to let you take a picture holding it in your hand. Have a guy make a video telling the bride to be how the best way to please her man on their wedding night is.

6. Quick Outdoor Scavenger Hunt (clean) • This is an indoor clean bridal version of popular scramble games – it combines word forming and the scavenger hunt! • Using the phrase “bridal shower scavenger hunt,” fill the list with new words created out of them. For any new word formed, the item must be found. i.e., from the word “vase” then you find and bring a vase. 2. Bachelorette Balderdash (R-rated) This outdoor bridal shower game is best played in rural locations, especially in the woods. As this is an outdoor game for everyone, include only clean bachelorette party ideas. A found item is one point and the person or group with the highest points wins. This game lasts 30-60 minutes. After the timer runs out everyone gathers back at the meeting place (i.e. picnic area, campfire, barn, etc.) to share their evidence and swap stories while enjoying refreshments. • Bridal Scramble Scavenger Hunt (clean) • Number of players: 3-10+ • Time needed: 20-30 minutes • The gist: This classic question and answer game is perfect for bachelorette parties. The best part is that this R-rated game can be played with any number of players and can be stretched out to fill an entire evening if you desire. Questions can be about the bride, the groom, the guests, and their private lives, or anything else that you can think of. • What to prep:

7. 1.Bridal balderdash questions. You can come up with these and have them printed on nice bridal themed paper at a local print shop. If you decide to play teams instead of individuals have different questions for each team to keep things interesting, or as an alternative have the questions printed on bridal invitations, thank you note cards, cards printed with the couples favorite dating photos from their social media accounts, or even postcards from where the couple are going for their honeymoon and put in a big basket to be selected at random. 2.Cards to write answers on, pens or pencils for every player. It’s fun to have the same themed cards for answers as you used for the questions. 3.Glass bowl or a hat to put the answers into. 4. A poster board with sticky stars or bridal themed stickers to take score, making a separate place for each player. 5. Strong alcohol beverages (this is, of course, optional, but it makes the game a bit more interesting to be sure). • How to play: Step 1. The moderator reads a question selected at random from the basket. Everybody writes their answers on a card and puts them into the fishbowl, making sure they put their name on their card. The Bride does not answer, she is the control for the questions. Step 2. All the papers are collected and put in a bowl, after which the bride gives the correct answer to the question. Step 3. The person with the most correct answers wins and gets a prize. The person with the least correct or silliest answers drinks shots of tequila from every guest present. If you got the groom’s answers to the same questions beforehand (which is a fun variation) you might add extra points for the guest who guessed the groom’s answers right.

8. 3. Bachelorette Questions (clean) • Number of players: 2 • Time needed: 20-30 minutes to answer the questions (the groom answers in advance and kept from the bride) • The gist: Bachelorette questions is a clean indoor drinking game for the bride. If you’ve seen the TV show called Mr. and Mrs. or the Newlywed Game, you probably would know what it is all about. The happy couple has to answer questions about each other to prove they know everything about each other. As this bridal shower game is centered on how well the bride and the groom know each other, only two players needed: the bride and the groom themselves. This is the only game that doesn’t require the previous discussions with the bride, as it will spoil the surprise for her. • What to prep: 1. Prepare the questions. 2. Get two copies of the questionnaire: one for the groom and one for the bride. (as a variation you can also have the guests answer questions as they would form their own spouses or partners. If you can get those husbands or boyfriends to also answer ahead of time it adds even more fun. Divide the group into two teams and have them get a point based on the decision of the bride as to which team’s answers were best after she has answered for herself) • How to play: Step 1. The questionnaire is given to the groom well before the bachelorette party to answer all the questions. Step 2. Ask him to keep this information a secret from the bride. It is important not to spoil the surprise! Step 3. Each correct answer will get her one point, and each wrong answer will cost her a pint of beer. Be careful with this drinking game! After all, it is the bride getting drunk! Also, try to avoid very personal questions, as the questions or the answers might make the bride feel bad or insulted.

9. Drinking Bachelorette Party Games Drinking games are a popular favorite for bachelor and bachelorette parties. They do not require a lot of preparation, but they do require plenty of beverages. One important thing to keep in mind is to have a few “mock-tails” or non-alcoholic cocktail alternatives ready for those who choose not to imbibe or who may be in recovery. We have included a few classics here as well as a couple of newer games. Drinking games are a must-have for your bridal shower or bachelorette party. • Lie Detector • Number of players: two at once • Time needed: 30-40 minutes (depends on the number of questions) • The gist: Like a real lie detector test, this indoor game dares a bachelorette to answer rather private and embarrassing questions about herself, or more commonly, about the groom. The game can have multiple levels of difficulty, depending on how well the players know each other. The bachelorette’s opponent uses her intuition to figure out which of the answers is the truth. Depending on the participants, the game can be clean but is usually R-rated. • What to prep: 1. The rules of the game are such, that it doesn’t require any specific preparation, but it is better to have some questions prepared in advance before the game begins. 2. One of the preparation points would be making sure that everyone has enough alcohol available and shot glasses.

10. How to play: Step 1. Two bachelorette party guests step forward to face each other, one on either side of the “lie line”. Their task is to ask each other daring questions and guess if their opponent’s answers were the truth or lies. Step 2. The person who asked the questions, later confirms the answer – whether the guess was right or wrong. Step 3. The one who guesses wrong must drink from the bottle of alcohol. The person with the most points wins. You can also have the group divided up into teams, and when the team member guesses wrong the entire team has to take a shot. 2. Guess Who? • Number of players: 3-10+ • Time needed: 30 minutes • The gist: As with other ‘drink if’ bachelorette party games, ‘Guess who’ helps the guests to know each other better. In fact, this one game that works better if the guests are not that well acquainted. The game itself can be either clean or R-rated, depending on the questions. It also involves alcohol, makes sure that there are some mock-tail options and soft drinks for those who choose to not imbibe. • What to prep:

11. 1. Pieces of paper to write the secrets on. 2. Pens for writing, fun bridal themed pens are great for these types of gatherings and ad more novelty to the games. 3. Small bowl to put the secrets in. 4. Several bottles of spirits as well as some non-alcoholic beverages or mock-tails. • How to play: Step 1. Each guest writes a secret of herself on a piece of paper. The secret can be about anything at all – it doesn’t necessarily have to be something very personal, but the more risque and personal the better and the more fun everyone has in the sharing. Step 2. When all the secrets for this round are written down, the players drop them all in a decorative bowl, a punch bowl or bridal decorated game bowl works great. If you do not have a glass bowl, a fancy hat or a decorated paper bag will do. Step 3. Everyone then takes one secret out of the bowl and reads it out loud before taking a guess as to who wrote it. Step 4. If a guest gets the writer right, the writer takes a shot of alcohol. If the guest gets it wrong, she takes a shot. 3. Never Have I Ever • Number of players: 4-8+ • Time needed: 40 minutes

12. The gist: • This is the bachelorette version of the popular and well-known game often played at the fancy dress or costume parties, and family holiday gatherings. This is the drinking version of the game where everyone starts with a drink of their choice in front of them. The first person to start says: ‘Never have I ever’ – and continues the phrase with something that she hasn’t done in her life. It can be virtually anything. Anyone who has done what was stated must take a sip of her drink. (And she may be asked to relay her story!) • What to prep: 1. Alcohol. 2. Prepared phrases for the beginning of the game. After the first few, the game kind of takes on a life of its own, so you won’t need more than say five or six starter phrases. • How to play: Step 1. Let the bride be the first to start the game off. She will begin by saying “Never have I ever…” and follow it up with something that she has never done. For example, she could say “Never have I ever been streaking”. Step 2. The person to the right of the bride will go next. Step 3. The game continues until everyone has had three turns.

13. Final conclusions and recommendations The bachelorette night needs some careful planning for all the best bachelorette party game ideas. Don’t forget to ask the bride what kind of games she wants. It would be a pity to include bachelorette party ideas bride hates. Planning a great bachelorette party means picking the right bachelorette party games and other activities that will make the night exciting, fun, and memorable. The key is to choose activities that will bring people together, and not make anyone overly uncomfortable. Make sure that you consult the bride on the games and activities that you are interested in doing. You don’t have to spoil the surprise by letting her in on all the details, but just give her a chance to throw in some feedback on some of your potential ideas in case there is something that she does not like at all. It is her night after all. Let’s also look at a few common questions regarding bachelorette parties. How long before the wedding is the bachelorette party? The best time to start planning for the bachelorette party is at least three months before the wedding. In terms of when to have the party itself, the night before the wedding may be tradition, but it’s better to have a 24-hour buffer between the night of the party and the wedding day. After all, hungover brides do not look appealing. Who is supposed to pay for a bachelorette party? Traditionally, the bride is the only person who doesn’t pay for the bachelorette party. The guests pay for their own drinks, but the food and other activities are often paid for by the maid of honor, the sisters of the bride, and the bride’s mother. In some cases, the bride may have been saving up to chip in on her bachelorette party, but that money is handed off to the maid of honor to be spent on the evening’s activities. Do you have to bring a gift to a bachelorette party? Bringing gifts is not necessary. The goal is for the bride and her guests to have fun before the wedding. Gifts are often exchanged at the bridal shower. In some cases, sexy gifts such as toys, videos, lingerie, lubricants, and other items in that vein are given the night of the bachelorette party, but this is a decision that is made by the Maid of Honor. Traditionally, the bride only wants one thing out of the night of her bachelorette party and that is to have a memorable evening with her closest friends, family, and coworkers. She just wants to make fun memories with those girls who mean the most to her as she prepares to make this massive change and start the next chapter of her life. You being there is often gift enough.
