10 Hilarious must play party games for your Hen Party

10 Hilarious must play party games for your Hen Party

If you are looking for some party games to add some crazy fun to your hen party night, then you’ve come to the right place. We’ve got ten of the best for you and your crowd to enjoy through your night. Party games are a sure-fire way to get the whole group to ditch the phones and bring some humour and hilarious memories to the table. They encourage people to come out of their shells (especially when alcohol is involved) and get down to boogie!

 

1)  That’s Not Me! – The Bride Embarrassment Contest.


Here’s a simple one for you.

The wedding will be her day, she’ll look absolutely stunning in her wedding dress with her makeup done, her hair as perfect as can be and everyone will want a picture with her. She’s the day and night’s celebrity. So why not get the embarrassing pictures out of the way early and bring them to the hen party? A wedding is no place to embarrass her, but her hen party sure can be!

What you’ll need:

  • One printed picture of the bride-to-be.
  • Something to stick all the pictures onto to keep a collage of memories. You could use a pin board and pins. Or to keep it simple just Blu Tack them to the wall, or peg them onto some pretty bunting.
  • Something sticky to put them up with, Blu-Tack or Sellotape should do fine.

If you don’t have any funny pictures of her at the ready on your phone, don’t worry, Facebook usually holds tons of them. Get trolling through that, you’re bound to find something you shouldn’t.

This game always works best if the Bride-To-Be doesn’t know. Get all of your pictures stuck up on a big collage first, call her into the room and drop the curtain.

It’s then up to her to guess who chose each picture. Do you think she’ll get it right?

 

2)  ‘Banned Words’ – Hilarious hen do game.


This simple – well simple until you’ve had a few drinks – and completely cost free hen do game is great fun. All you will need to do is think of a group of words that you know will be difficult to resist saying on your night. Slap on a big forfeit any time someone lets them slip into a sentence. Depending on how many words you ban, it may be tricky to keep track, we suggest having a ‘Banned Board’ where you can let everyone know which words are forbidden- illustrations greatly encouraged.

 

3) The Photo Phone Game


A very simple hen do game yet very, very creative one. Get your smartphones out, although with this one you’re going to have to be the smart ones and try and get every picture on the list. Make them funny. Come on girls, give it your best ‘Shot’.

A few things will account for how hilarious this one can get

  1. Who is on your team (We all have a few slightly crazy friends or family members)
  2. How much alcohol has been consumed up to this point.
  3. How determined you are to win.

How To Play

This Is a great team game to play so again, into two teams you go.
Prior to the game starting, a list of 12 photo challenges must be agreed and noted by each team.
1 point will be awarded for each photo taken out of your agreed list.
We advise setting a time limit to get the pressure on and to avoid it ending a draw. THERE’LL BE ONLY ONE WINNER TONIGHT.

Feel free to use our top 12 favourites for certain laughing success or create your own:

  • COME ‘ERE BOBBY – Photo with a policeman.

4) That’s Pants


A bit of a different take on the ‘Post-it Note Game’, this one is less nostalgic and a bit more naughty. Your hens will need to bring along a (spare) pair of underwear, newly bought or original, and discretely pop them into the designated ‘briefs box’. Careful what you pick, as the bride-to-be will be trying to match the pants to the person! What will your underwear say about you?

 

5) Pin The Tail On The Male


This game is surely only for  hen party! I guess this and pin the tail on the donkey can sometimes be confused….

For this we’ll need a bit of forward planning.

You’ll Need:

  • Cardboard cutout of the Groom, in whatever position you may choose.
  • OR Large picture of the groom that can be stuck to a wall.
  • Good bit of Blu-tack – Maybe not pins if you’re in a hotel room!
  • A paper image (cutout) of a tail or suitable alternative, we’ll leave this one to your imagination.
  • A sharpy
  • Blindfold

So How To Play?

  1. Get the large picture of the groom and simply stick it up on the wall.
  2. You’ll need to decide which location on the groom the ‘Tail’ will actually be. Get creative.  
  3. Each guest will get a turn to pin the tail where they think it should go. Blindfolded.  
  4. Once the pin has been placed the blindfold can be removed.
  5. Make sure to put initials in the location so you know where everyone pinned.
  6. The person closest to the allocated location wins

 

6) Prosecco Pong


Imagine beer pong but a little more… Lady Like. Affordable, easy to play and absolutely hilarious, this party maker gets everyone involved even those who never made the netball team.

How to play:

Set up 6 glasses at each side of a suitable table like in the the picture below in a similar layout to skittles at a bowling alley.
Fill each glass up GENEROUSLY with prosecco.

Split your group into two equal teams if possible – Think of some good team names we have a few for you:

Bride ‘N’ Dirty

Bach S**T Crazy

The Bride Tribe

Bride Support Crew

It is then the objective for each team to throw a ping pong ball into an opposing team’s cup.

The Twist, THE BALL MUST BOUNCE ONCE ON THE TABLE BEFORE IT LANDS IN THE CUP.

If a ball lands in the opposing teams cup the opposing player who would be up next would have to down that glass of prosecco. ‘Good luck to them taking their next shot’ (HAHA)

 

7) Post-it Note Game


Especially nice for those far away hens, this is your chance to get nostalgic. Each guest must write a brief few sentences on a post-it note, but don’t be afraid to get specific as the bride-to-be will be picking out the notes and guessing who wrote what. This is the perfect starting game for new and old friends to come together, each memory/thought will be perfectly unique. You might even learn something unexpected about the bride!

 

8) I Solemnly Swear I’ve Been Up To No Good


This one is all about confessions. If you don’t already know a lot about the others in your group you sure will soon. Get thinking of a secret and mysterious and of course funny fact or secret about yourself that nobody else knows and get ready. This is going to be an interesting ride.

For this one you’ll need:

  • A small piece of paper for everyone
  • A few pens
  • A small bag or jug

How to play

So you’ve thought of your confession of yourself. Next step is to write it down on a small piece of paper and scrunch it up.

Pop it in the small bag or jug and give them all a shake.

It is then up to each hen to pull out a note and read it out at the top of their voice, trust us the louder the funnier. Especially in a crowded bar.

The hen will then have the honor of guessing who they think wrote that particular fact about themselves and announce their answer to the group.

How to spice it up abit.. or sour it up for that matter:

Bring along some super sour sweets like ‘Toxic Waste’ and some more pleasant sweets to eat like ‘Haribo’ If the Hen that guessed who the fact was gets it right she can sit down and indulge in a Haribo if however she gets it wrong she will be given a Toxic Waste.

 

9) Mr and Mrs


No list would be complete without this classic. Grill the groom-to-be with your tricky questions (we recommend about 20) before the party, and keep his answers safe. Then whip out your best Game Show impressions on the big night and put your main hen in the hot seat. Hopefully their answers will be identical, but if not (you’ve guessed it) it’s time for a forfeit. Maybe a shot, an embarrassing confession, or a dare, the more creative the better.

 

10) Pass the Balloon


Think ‘Pass the Parcel’ but slightly more difficult than you remember. For this one you’ll need to divide and then line up your hens. Starting at the top, your party people must hold a long balloon (trust us, don’t use a round one) between their knees and pass it down the line as quickly as possible – NO HANDS. The first team to successfully reach the end of the line is the winner! You can get creative with your forfeits, but if you drop the balloon you must start from the beginning.
