Bachelorette party, bachelorette party, stagette, kitchen tea and pampering party. These are all terms used in various parts of the world to denote the same thing: a woman’s last party before getting married. Bachelor parties have been around for generations, but only in modern times do women let their hair down as much, if not more, than men.
Traditionally, the maid or matron of honor organizes the bachelorette party for the future bride. The event can take place in a private home, a bar or a restaurant, it can be a night out in the city or even a weekend getaway. However, whatever the venue, bachelorette party games are often played. Do you need some ideas? Here are the top five to get you started:
1. Balloon Pass – This relay racing game is ideal for those who are having a party in a private residence. Gather some equipment. Using long balloons, fill them up and place them between the legs of the first person in line. The object of the game is to pass it from person to person without using your hands as quickly as possible.
2. Forbidden Words: This game is fun whether you stay inside or go out. Make a list of common words, usually wedding related, that cannot be spoken during the party. “Groom”, “bride” and “wedding” are popular. If someone is caught chanting a forbidden word, they have to have a drink, pay a fine, or challenge. Get creative with your “punishments”!
3. Put on the condom – This can be a little spicy to go out, but it’s a lot of fun at home. The first person to correctly unwrap and place the condom on a banana, zucchini, or cucumber wins a prize. It sounds easy? Before you begin, make sure everyone has their hands behind their back!
4. Never have I: This classic drinking game is perfect for staying home or going out. The only materials needed are your courage and lots of alcohol. The person who starts off by saying, “I’ve never …” and then comes up with something they’ve never done. If someone in the group has done it, they have to drink. You can discover many secrets about someone this way. Just remember, what happens at the bachelorette party, stays at the bachelorette party.
5. Pin the Male on the Model – Do you remember the classic game Pin the Tail on the Donkey? Everyone is given a tail, blindfolded, turned around, and pointed at you in the vicinity of an image of the donkey. You stagger trying to fix the detached tail back in the right place without looking. The person closest to the brand wins. This works the same way, except there is a poster of a naked man instead of a donkey. Guess what is used for the tail?
