Bachelorette party games that are actually fun

The trouble with bachelorette games is that they have to please a crowd that has never been in one room before: high school friends, college friends, coworkers, a sister, a future mother-in-law. The good ones are about the bride, easy to join, and funny without being mortifying.

About the bride

  1. 1.How well do you know the bride?

    Turn her photos into a picture quiz on the TV: her first concert, her worst haircut, the trip where she met her partner. Each picture sharpens from a few blocks and everyone answers from their phone, so the new in-laws can play against the high school friends on equal terms.

  2. 2.He said, she said

    Ask the partner a list of questions beforehand — who said I love you first? who is the better cook? — and read the answers out for the group to guess.

  3. 3.Guess the dress

    Everyone guesses a detail of the wedding dress — neckline, length, sleeves — before the bride shows a photo of the fitting, or doesn’t.

For the whole group

  1. 4.Reality TV quiz

    Love Island, The Bachelor, Real Housewives: there are picture quizzes of reality TV stars, famous actors and cocktails to put on the screen between rounds of something else.

  2. 5.Cocktail making

    Book a class or run your own: three recipes, one bar, teams judged by the bride.

  3. 6.Dare jar

    Write mild dares on slips of paper and pull one each round. Keep them the sort the bride’s aunt would laugh at.

Planning notes

Do the photo collecting early. Ask the group to send three pictures each a couple of weeks before, and make the quiz from the best.
