Bachelorette Party: The Bride Should Have Fun
By randomguy. Filed in Random |
The Bachelorette Party is planned by the bride's friends as a time for some fun and laughs, usually at the bride's expense. The party could be held at home, a a restaurant, but having some party games in the program will keep the party lively and increase everyones's enjoyment.
Traditionally, games and activities are aimed at embarrassing the bride and having some fun at her expense, but make sure they are fun. Having fun at someone's expense is only effective when that person is laughing and enjoying herself too. The bride is celebrating here so you need to make sure tht she is also having some fun.
The usual outfit for the bride is a fake bridal veil and a sash that declares she is the bride. The outfit gets extra laughs and fun when the bachelorette party is in a bar or restaurant, and you will find that strangers will join in too.
One of the best bachelorette party games needs some preparation in advance, so allow time for this. Before the party, get the groom to answer some questions about himself, his bride, their courtship and their relationship. When the bride is asked the same questions at her party, comparing the two lots of answers will bring some laughs. This ensures lots of fun and laughs at the different answers. A womans magazine might be a good place to find information on bachelorette party games or bridal shower games.
Another question game involves asking the bride some questions about herself and the groom which you then ask the guests at the party. Choose some personal topics to base questions around, so that the answers will get some laughs. The answers you will get will be clever and funny and this will add to the fun at the party.
Cola drinking games are always fun, but make sure that they are suitable for the individual, to avoid problems; the bride has a drink of cola when she gets an answer wrong. The more questions she answers incorrectly, the funnier she will get.
A scavenger hunt that involves all the guests can be fun. Emphasize creative solutions for the items to be found, that follow the wedding theme of the party. It is really important to have games that aren't too long, so keep the list short for this one, but allow time for the guests to compare what they have found. Make the items on the list creative so that the solutions found will be funny, like an item the groom would never be without, something needed for married life etc.
Give everyone a good laughs by setting the bride some challenges to be completed with the guests looking on. Come up with hilarious dares that she would usually be too embarrassed to even consider doing, like finding a man in the bar wearing the same type of shoes as her groom wears and getting the band to ask her to sing. This will ensure lots of amusement for the bride, her guests and even the other people in the bar.
There are lots of ideas from websites and books for fun and entertaining games for a bachelorette party. Any games you play need to be simple and amusing for all, especially the target of the fun. Again using the Internet can be a good place to look for bachelorette party favors.
