A hen night is a perfect opportunity to celebrate, laugh, and create unforgettable memories with your bride tribe before the big day. And what better way to amp up the fun than with a line-up of games, cheeky tasks, and a unique touch to make the night truly special? Whether you're hosting a cozy evening at home, hitting the town, or enjoying a weekend away, these hen night ideas will ensure the bride to be has the time of her life.
Add a Personal Touch with Custom Face Masks
Before diving into the games, set the tone with a fun and personalised accessory: custom face masks from www.personalisedfacemasks.com. These masks are perfect for hen nights, whether you want to surprise the bride with a greeting from everyone wearing a mask of the bride to be's partner's face - or the bride, it will go down a treat and starts the night with some laughs.
Not only do these masks add a unique twist to the evening, but they’re also a great keepsake for everyone to take home!
Classic Hen Party Games
Mr. & Mrs. Quiz
This classic game is always a winner! Before the hen night, ask the bride-to-be's partner a series of questions about their relationship. On the night, quiz the bride and see how many answers she can match. To make it extra fun, wrong answers can result in a sip of her drink - or a cheeky dare while wearing her custom face mask!
Never Have I Ever
A hen night staple, this game will have everyone laughing in no time. Take turns making "Never Have I Ever" statements, and those who have done the thing take a drink. Personalise the game by including bridal-themed statements like "Never have I ever kissed the groom" or "Never have I ever been a bridesmaid."
Bride Bingo
Create bingo cards with phrases like "Bride says 'OMG!'" or "Someone spills a drink". Hand out the cards at the start of the night, and as these moments happen, guests cross off the squares. The first to get bingo wins a prize!
Cheeky Challenges
The Dare Jar
Fill a jar with funny dares for the hens to complete through the night. Examples could be:
- "Take a selfie with a stranger"
- "Get someone to compliment the bride's outfit"
- "Sing a song at the top of your lungs"
- "Call the groom and sing him a love song"
For a twist, why not make the dares even funnier by wearing your personalised masks while completing them?!
Scavenger Hunt
Plan a scavenger hunt with tasks and items to collect. Include challenges like:
- Taking a group photo with a bartender.
- Getting someone to autograph a mask.
- Finding a novelty item related to weddings.
Pass the Balloon
Divide into teams and race to pass a balloon down the line with only your knees. It's silly, hilarious, and perfect for breaking the ice if some of the hens don’t know each other well.
Creative and Sentimental Games
Memory Lane
Before the night, ask each guest to write down a favorite memory with the bride. Read aloud and have the bride guess who wrote each one. This game is a sweet way to reflect on special friendships.
Design the Dress
Divide into teams and hand out rolls of toilet paper. Then have each team create a "wedding dress" for one team member. The bride judges the best (or funniest) design, and the "models" can strut their stuff in their new outfit!
Advice for the Bride
Provide a notebook or jar where guests can write marriage advice or funny date ideas. Present it to the bride at the end of the night as a keepsake.
Dance and Music Fun
Lip Sync Battle
Divide into teams and let everyone unleash their inner pop stars with a lip sync battle. Bonus points for choreography and costumes!
Bride's Playlist Challenge
Before the party, prepare a playlist of songs that are meaningful to the bride - childhood favourites, songs from her relationship, or her go-to karaoke tracks. Have the group guess the significance of each song as they play.
Themed Hen Night Tasks
Cocktail Making Contest
Set up a mini bar with various ingredients and have the hens compete to create the best cocktail. The bride can act as the judge!
Bride's Bucket List
Ask the bride to share her pre-wedding bucket list. It could be fun tasks like dancing on a table, belting out karaoke, or learning a cheesy TikTok dance with the group. Spend the night ticking them off!
