Introduction

We’ve all been to that one bachelorette weekend where the only planned activity was “hanging out,” and the silence was deafening. Turns out, you actually need a little structure. Recent data shows that the most popular game by a mile is the hilarious Mr & Mrs Questions, proving that people crave connection and storytelling over just aimlessly drinking.

You want games that spark a real conversation, not just fill time. Let’s get into it.

TL;DR

If you’re currently standing in the party aisle at Target panicking, here is the quick rundown. I’ve highlighted the essential takeaways so you can make quick decisions without reading the whole novel below.

• Read the Room: Always prioritize the bride’s comfort level; what works for a wild group might totally mortify a conservative bride.

• Know Your Audience: Use icebreakers if guests are strangers, but skip them if everyone has been best friends since kindergarten.

• Check Logistics: Match the game to the setting (bar vs. Airbnb) and how much prep time you actually have.

• Include Everyone: Ensure drinking games have fun modifications for non-drinkers so nobody feels left out.

• Mix it Up: A good itinerary includes a blend of sentimental moments, active challenges, and chill downtime.

Read This Before You Plan

Before you buy those printable templates on Etsy or raid the dollar store, take a second to assess the landscape. The success of a game depends entirely on context. Here are the five major factors to weigh so your games land perfectly rather than flopping.

Searching for ideas can be overwhelming, but narrowing it down by vibe helps immensely.

The Vibe & Comfort Level

You have to gauge where the bride falls on the spectrum between conservative and wild. Games involving public embarrassment or risqué topics might generate laughs for one group but could ruin the night for another. Prioritizing the bride’s comfort is the only rule that really matters.

Scenario: You’re planning for a “Type A” bride who hates surprises and public attention.
Bad Choice: “Suck for a Buck” at a crowded dive bar. This is her nightmare.
Good Choice: “The Newlywed Game” played privately in the hotel suite with wine and cheese. It puts the focus on her relationship in a controlled, safe environment.

The Guest List Dynamic

Consider how well the guests know each other. A mix of childhood friends, colleagues, and cousins requires icebreakers to grease the wheels. If the group is already tight-knit, you can bypass the awkward intros and dive straight into activities requiring deeper personal knowledge.

Logistics & Location

Your environment dictates your options. Are you staying in a spacious Airbnb, hopping between loud bars, or lounging at a spa? Some top games need table space and quiet, while others thrive in chaotic, noisy environments.

Prep Time & Budget

Be realistic about your resources. You can choose DIY ideas to save money, though they require time to craft and assemble. Alternatively, buying ready-made kits offers convenience but will eat into the budget.

Inclusivity

Remember that not everyone drinks alcohol. When planning drinking games, create fun rules or modifications for non-drinkers (sparkling cider, anyone?). Excluding guests because they are sober kills the vibe faster than anything else.

Icebreakers & “Getting to Know You”

These are essential when you have a fragmented guest list. They force interaction in a low-stakes way, helping guests move past the awkward small talk phase. I recommend starting the weekend with one of these to set a collaborative tone.

1. Two Truths and a Lie (The Groom Edition)

This twists the classic format by focusing on the bride. Guests write down three “facts” about their relationship with the bride or a story involving her, where one is a total lie. The group votes to spot the fake.

Why It Works

It requires low prep and costs nothing. It sparks conversation immediately without getting too rowdy, making it perfect for mixed groups.

2. Find the Guest Bingo

Create bingo cards populated with traits rather than numbers, such as “Went to college with the bride” or “Has a tattoo.” Guests have to mingle and chat to sign off the squares. It’s one of the most effective ways to mix groups.

Why It Works

This drives high engagement. It’s excellent for the first hour of the party because it forces interaction and physical movement.

3. The Purse Scavenger Hunt

The host calls out a list of random items, like a receipt from last year or red lipstick. The first person to pull the item from their bag wins a prize.

Why It Works

It’s fast-paced and high energy. You need zero setup other than a list, making it a great filler game.

4. Who Am I? (Memory Lane)

Guests write a short, anonymous memory they share with the bride. The bride reads them aloud and attempts to guess the author. If she guesses wrong, she takes a sip of her drink.

Why It Works

This is sentimental and sweet. It highlights the bride’s unique connection to each guest, making everyone feel special.

5. Sticker Stalker

Every guest gets a sheet of unique stickers. The goal is to secretly stick them onto other guests without being detected. If caught, you have to take your sticker back. This is one of those games that runs passively in the background.

Why It Works

It keeps the energy up and adds a layer of paranoia and fun throughout the night.

Funny & Active Games

When the energy dips or you need to get people moving, these funny activities are the solution. They’re physical, silly, and designed to produce laughter. I suggest these for the middle of the trip when everyone is comfortable with each other.

Game Name	Mess Level	Prep Time	Space Needed
Toilet Paper Wedding Dress	High (Lots of paper waste)	Low (Just buy TP)	Living Room / Open Area
The Banana Run	Low	Low (Buy fruit)	Hallway / Open Floor
Prosecco Pong	High (Spills likely)	Medium (Cups & table)	Long Table
Balloon Pop Charades	Medium (Popped rubber)	High (Write & stuff balloons)	Living Room

6. Toilet Paper Wedding Dress

Teams get rolls of toilet paper to fashion a couture wedding dress on one member in five minutes. The bride judges the creations. This is a staple because it’s inexpensive and hilarious.

Why It Works

It’s a classic for a reason. Despite the waste, the hilarity and photo opportunities are unmatched.

7. The Banana Run

Guests race across the room holding an orange or balloon between their knees. Dropping it means restarting. You can increase the difficulty by requiring pass-offs without hands.

Why It Works

This is very physical and ridiculous. It works best in a private setting like an Airbnb rather than a public venue.

8. Lingerie Guessing Game

Guests bring underwear or lingerie that matches their personality as a gift. The bride opens them and guesses the giver.

Why It Works

It doubles as a gift-opening session. Just make sure the bride is cool with this, especially if older relatives (like Mom or Grandma) are watching.

9. Prosecco Pong

This is the upscale version of beer pong, utilizing plastic champagne coupes and sparkling wine or cider. It serves as one of the most popular drinking games for groups who want to keep it classy yet fun.

Why It Works

It’s a crowd favorite. It requires a large table and can get messy, so plan your location accordingly.

10. Balloon Pop Charades

Write wedding-themed prompts, place them inside balloons, and inflate them. Guests must pop the balloon without using their hands to retrieve the prompt and act it out. This fits perfectly into the category of funny games that get everyone laughing.

Why It Works

It’s loud and energetic. Perfect for waking the group up after a heavy dinner.

Quizzes & Trivia

These games put the bride in the spotlight and test how well her friends actually know her. They’re great for brunch or downtime. I love these because they focus entirely on the guest of honor.

11. The Newlywed Game (Pre-recorded)

Record the groom answering questions before the trip. At the party, you ask the bride the same questions and play his video response to compare. This is consistently rated one of the best activities for sentimental value.

Why It Works

It’s consistently rated as a top game. While it requires tech prep, it’s always a crowd-pleaser.

12. How Well Do You Know the Bride?

Guests take a multiple-choice quiz about the bride’s preferences and history. The guest with the most correct answers wins.

Why It Works

It’s simple and inclusive. You can easily buy templates or create your own.

13. Porn or Polish?

Read a list of names, and guests guess if it is a nail polish color or an adult film title. As far as game ideas go, this one always gets a big laugh.

Why It Works

It’s cheeky but usually not too explicit for a general crowd. Guaranteed laughs.

14. Groom Face Trivia

Hide puzzle pieces featuring the groom’s face around the room. The back of each piece contains a trivia question.

Why It Works

It’s custom and funny. It requires a printer and some setup time but adds a nice personal touch.

15. He Said, She Said

Read statements, and guests hold up props to guess if the statement applies to the bride or the groom. This is a staple because it’s easy to play while eating.

Sample Statements for “He Said, She Said”:

• “Who said ‘I love you’ first?”

• “Who is the better driver?”

• “Who takes longer to get ready in the morning?”

• “Who is more likely to burn dinner?”

• “Who initiated the first kiss?”

Why It Works

It’s interactive and low-stress. Perfect for playing while seated at a meal.

Cards & Board Games

Sometimes you just want to stay in, drink wine, and laugh. These card games are perfect for a chill night or while waiting for an Uber. I always pack one of these just in case plans change.

16. Cards Against Humanity (Wedding/Period Pack)

Play the classic game using wedding-themed expansion packs.

Why It Works

It relies on dark humor. Only play this if you know the group isn’t easily offended.

17. What Do You Meme? (Bachelorette Edition)

Players match caption cards to photo cards depicting wedding disasters or bridezilla moments. It’s one of the most relatable games for a social-media-savvy crowd.

Why It Works

It’s visual and current. Fits well with a group that lives on Instagram.

18. Drink If…

Use a deck of cards with statements that prompt guests to drink if they apply, such as “Drink if you are single.”

Why It Works

It’s a standard drinking game. Easy to stop and start as needed.

19. Taboo (Wedding Edition)

Players must get their team to guess a wedding-related word without using a list of forbidden descriptors. It’s one of those games that gets very competitive very quickly.

Why It Works

It’s high energy and competitive. Great for groups that enjoy shouting and excitement.

20. Truth or Dare (Bachelorette Cards)

A deck features wedding-themed truths and dares ranging from confessions to wearing undergarments over clothes.

Why It Works

It can be risky. Ensure the dares match your location and the group’s comfort level.

Out on the Town & Scavenger Hunts

If your group is extroverted and ready to explore a new city, these games turn the night out into an event. They force interaction with strangers and keep the momentum going. I recommend these for the big Saturday night out.

21. Photo Scavenger Hunt

Teams get a list of specific photo opportunities they must capture, often involving strangers or specific landmarks. This is one of the most engaging activities for outgoing groups.

Challenge Level	Task Description	Point Value
Easy	Take a selfie with a bartender.	5 Points
Medium	Get a stranger to serenade the bride.	10 Points
Hard	Find another bachelorette party and take a group photo.	20 Points
Expert	Get a police officer to pose with the group (respectfully!).	50 Points

Why It Works

It forces the group to interact with the environment. Great for high-energy groups.

22. Suck for a Buck

The bride wears a shirt with candies attached, and strangers pay a dollar to bite one off.

Why It Works

It’s very old-school and rowdy. This is only for the boldest of brides.

23. Dare Jenga (Bar Version)

Write dares on Jenga blocks and bring the set to the bar. Pulling a block means performing the dare publicly.

Why It Works

It adds a physical element to the dares. Carrying the set can be annoying though, so plan ahead.

24. The “Forbidden Word” Game

Choose a common word that is forbidden for the night. Anyone who says it has to buy a round or take a shot. Among simple drinking games, this is the easiest to execute.

Common “Forbidden Words” to Ban:

• “Wedding” (This is the hardest one!)

• “Groom” or the partner’s actual name.

• “Drunk”

• “Cute”

• “Work”

Why It Works

It runs all night long. Keeps people alert and engaged.

25. Kiss the Miss Goodbye (Interactive Art)

Guests apply lipstick and kiss a canvas, signing their name next to the print.

Why It Works

It’s a sweet keepsake rather than a competition. Do this before heading out while everyone’s makeup is still fresh.
