No Hen Party is complete without a few fabulous games to keep the laughter flowing and the spirits high! Whether you’re hosting a glamorous weekend getaway or a cozy girls’ night in, games are the secret ingredient that bring everyone together.
From hilarious icebreakers to sentimental moments, here’s your guide to planning the ultimate line-up of Hen Party games — guaranteed to make the bride-to-be’s night unforgettable! 💕
👑 Step 1: Match the Games to the Bride’s Personality
Before you choose your games, think about the type of bride you’re celebrating.
- Is she the wild party queen, ready for cheeky dares and cocktails?
- Or the sentimental sweetheart, who’d rather share stories and laughs?
- Maybe she’s a mix of both — and wants a little bit of everything!
The best games are the ones that feel personal and suit the mood of the night.
🥂 Step 2: Plan the Flow of the Night
A great Hen Party has a mix of energy levels — from icebreakers to wild rounds and a few sweet, emotional moments.
Here’s a sample structure:
- Start easy – light-hearted games to get everyone laughing.
- Add fun challenges – cheeky dares or competitions after a few drinks.
- End with something heartfelt – perfect for winding down or toasting the bride.
🎉 Step 3: Choose Your Games
Here are some top Hen Party game ideas, divided by theme and energy level:
💌 Icebreakers & Warm-Up Games
Perfect if not everyone knows each other — these get the giggles going right away.
🕵️♀️ Who Am I?
Write famous names or characters on sticky notes. Everyone gets one on their forehead and must ask yes/no questions to guess who they are.
💬 Never Have I Ever
Classic and always fun! Keep it PG or make it cheeky — your choice.
💕 Pass the Memory
Each guest shares how they met the bride or their favorite memory together. Emotional, funny, and perfect for mixed-age groups.
🍾 Funny & Cheeky Games
Turn up the laughter with these crowd-pleasers!
💍 Mr & Mrs Quiz
Before the party, ask the groom some fun questions (like “Who made the first move?” or “What’s her worst habit?”). Then, quiz the bride to see if she matches his answers. The results? Hilarious!
🎤 Guess the Tune – Bride Edition
Create a playlist of songs that mean something to the couple — their first dance song, road trip tunes, or guilty pleasures — and see who can guess them first.
👑 Bride’s Dare List
Write fun dares on cards (e.g. “Get a stranger to serenade you” or “Take a photo with the DJ”). Give the bride bonus points for each one she completes!
🕺 Prosecco Pong
Just like beer pong, but far classier. Enough said.
🌸 Chilled & Heartfelt Games
Ideal for a cozy or elegant celebration.
💌 Letters to the Bride
Have each guest write a short letter to the bride with advice, memories, or wishes for her future. Collect them in a keepsake box for her to read later.
📸 Memory Match
Guests bring a photo with the bride from different stages of her life. Spread them out and have her guess when and where each was taken.
💖 What’s in Your Purse?
A lighthearted game — guests get points for funny or random items found in their bag (lipstick, safety pin, toy ring, etc.).
🪩 Big Group or Outdoor Games
Perfect for weekend trips, house parties, or destination hens.
💎 Hen Scavenger Hunt
Create a list of things to find or do around town — like “take a selfie with a barman” or “find something blue.” Add clues related to the bride’s love story for extra fun.
🎭 Lip Sync Battle
Split into teams, pick songs, and let the performances begin. Costumes = bonus points!
🎯 Bride Olympics
Silly, fun challenges — like balloon popping, relay races, or ring toss (with toy rings, of course).
🎀 Step 4: Add Personal Touches
Make your games extra special by personalizing them for the bride.
- Use her favorite songs, colors, or inside jokes.
- Customize “Mr & Mrs” questions to fit their love story.
- Create a “Bride Trivia” quiz with details only her besties would know.
You can even prepare a small prize bag for game winners — mini beauty products, bubbly, or cute accessories.
💕 Step 5: Keep It Classy (and Fun for Everyone)
Not everyone has the same comfort level — especially if the guest list includes family members or older relatives. Strike a balance between cheeky and classy so everyone can enjoy themselves.
If you’re doing anything risqué, plan a separate “girls-only” portion later in the night.
📸 Step 6: Capture the Moments
Don’t forget to document all the fun!
Assign a “party photographer” or set up a photo booth corner with props and Polaroids. Those candid shots will be priceless keepsakes for the bride.
🥰 Final Thoughts
The perfect Hen Party games aren’t about competition — they’re about connection, laughter, and celebrating the bride-to-be’s next big chapter.
So whether you’re sipping champagne in a suite or dancing barefoot in the living room, plan a mix of games that suit the vibe, bring out the giggles, and make the bride feel like the star of the show. 🌟
Happy Hen Party Planning! 🎀
