If you like dancing with the stars and X-factor then it is now time for you to be the judge!  Give each of the girls a set of cards numbered 0-10.  Then throughout the night when a guy comes passed you will all hold up your cards to determine what you think!

The great thing about this game is it gets the girls talking and is very funny as one man will be determined as super hot by one girl and as sleazy and disgusting by another.  Just watch the women justify their marks.

For added fun try to rope in some guys for an impromptu competition and have them dance, sing or perform in some way so the girls can rate them.  Just remember you may need a prize of some sort to get them to participate in your fun and hens party games.

 

• Rate the Man – This is an ideal game for going out on the town. Each lady has cards from 1-10. When a guy walks by or comes in the door, he’s rated by the party. Try to come up with an impromptu contest like a dance or striptease contest and recruit volunteers from the bar.

Strippers have often been a staple of the hens party and I think they always will be.  But if you want to go down this route you need to ask yourself one very important question first of all – who is attending!  The biggest downer on a night with a hot man strutting his stuff is for some of the guests to be uncomfortable or in some cases I have seen – to leave..  So make sure you either know the people that are coming or ask the bride beforehand.  In some cases it may just mean having the stripper earlier or later but save yourself the grief of a ‘flop’ if you can.

However, once this is sorted you can go to town and decide on just how personal an experience that you want to have!  The main options are:

1.  A well known strip club.  In a set venue like this you can all just watch the general public show or order one of the guys for a private lap dance or show for just your party.  The added benefit is there are lots to choose from.

2. Hire a guy to come to your home.  The advantage of this is you have the stripper all to yourself and you can really make it personal for the hen on the night.  You can also choose one in advance that will take most or everything off. 

3.  The third is to go to a show like ManPower or the Chippendales.  These are choreographed shows and will usually have the hottest of men, great show moves and have that wow factor that the others will not have.  The downside is this is not as personal.

4.  Finally there are venues now that supply topless bartenders, strippers and basically lots of naked men to serve you all night.  These venues tend to get very raunchy however so check out the place in advance.  I have seen some venues that offers a whole lot more than a strip show which is not for everyones taste at all.

As you can see there are plenty of options so get out there and have some fun.

A perfect compliment to the policewomen theme, this hens party game is all about handing out punishments and dares to the people in and around your party.  To begin you will need to prepare a note book beforehand that has numerous pre-written ‘tickets’ and some blank pages as well.  The objective is to then have the bride and/or guests to walk around looking for infractions.  For instance you may decide that a tight trousered man has a concealed weapon, or that another is overly drunk and disorderly. 

You then hand out your tickets which will include fines such as giving the provider a kiss, a drink or basically whatever you like.

The flip side is to also hand out rewards for doing something good, usually the ticket then allows the recipient to receive something from the girls instead.  Finally, this hens party game can be taken to another level by introducing your own rules amongst the girls for the duration of the hens party.  If any of the hens break these rules during the night they will receive a ticket or a shot as penalty.

Okay so spin the bottle may not seem like a great hens party game at the outset,  but this is a full on old school game that can be played in so many different ways it is definitely worth a go.

First up you can play the traditional way.  Grab some of the guys you have met in the venue (this in itself can be a challenge for your girls), and then sit in a circle and spin the bottle.  The person who spun must kiss the person to which the bottle is pointing.

Secondly there is strip spin the bottle.  Whoever the bottle points at must remove an article of clothing.  This one is better in a private setting but is also an incentive for guys to get involved!

Finally you can exchange the ‘kiss’ for pretty much anything.  The pointed at person may need to take a shot, or act out a dare or the like.  Use your imagination and you will have a game that can be played at anytime and in any place.  Old school but still a winner.

Runway 9 - Go Karting
Another activity for the more adventurous hen, go-karting is an opportunity to get competitive with your friends and race to be the best driver.  This is a great hen party idea to get the adrenaline pumping and to create a real buzz amongst the guests.  There is something intangible but exciting about racing around the track with each other.  End the day with champagne to shake and drink.

You can also add this activity to a weekend away or better yet with a whole race car hens party theme.  Have all the girls get dressed up in their sexy driver outfits with zips low (think Charlies Angels) and hit the town to celebrate the winner and crew.

Hens Party Games - Fold me a story
Many of you may remember this game from your childhood, but funnily enough a lot of hens party games originate from this time – except with a slight twist here or there.  In this game you will need several pieces of paper and pens and a little bit of imagination.

To play give each guest a piece of paper and ask them to write one line of a story with the last couple of words on the second line.  They must then fold the paper over to hide everything but the last words and pass the paper to the next person.  The next person then writes another line, folds the paper and passes it on.  This continues until everyone has written a line.

At the end you will have a bizarre story written by the group which the hen can keep.  I like to add a theme to this if possible so it directly relates to the bride or the guests, etc.

Tried and tested Karaoke is one of those hen party ideas that will always be a staple of any hen event.  The reasons for this is numerous:

  • It provides a challenge for the girls
  • It creates a buzz of expectation, anticipation and in some nervousness!
  • It can bring the group together while singing songs together and overcoming their inhabitions
  • It is simply a lot of fun

The other benefit for Karaoke is that it can be done at home or at a Karaoke bar so you can do it anywhere.  Grab the girls and get absolutely wild – and of course you HAVE to sing ‘Girls just want to have fun’!

This hens party game takes a little bit more preparation prior to the hens party but is well worth it.  Basically you will meet up with the groom prior to the evening and videotape him answering a number of questions about himself and the bride to be.  The bride is then asked the questions herself on the night and then his answers are played back immediately following to see if she was right.  This can be used as a fun interlude or also as a drinking game by adding forfeits and shots to the bride for incorrect answers and given to the other girls if she gets the answers right.

A slight variation that I like is to also have the groom ask the questions to the bride on the tape as well.   Here are some sample questions:

  • What do you think is the grooms best physical feature?
  • What do you think is brides best physical feature?
  • Who picked up who and how?
  • What frustrates you the most about each other?
  • What is his favourite position?
  • What is each others most annoying habit
  • Who is his favourite artist, sportsperson or the like?

If you are anything like me you can find it quite hard to remember all the names that are thrown at you in a hens party.  The usual remedy to this is to wear nametags, but this can be quite boring so my recommendation is to have everyone write their name but with a twist – think about things like “Saucy Sarah”, “Devilish Dannie” etc.  This is actually also a lot of fun when you hit the town as it encourages other people to speak to your group members by name and also act as a talking point as you find others discussing just how ’saucy Sarah really is’!!!

Hens Party Games - Post it notes game
 This hens party game is a great one for getting to know one another better and is a really nice one for the bride as she has a chance to reminisce with close friends.

To play this game you will need a number of large post-it notes and pens.  Each guest must then write a sentence or two of a memory that they have of the bride, and pass it back to you.  All notes are then placed in a hat for the bride to take out and read aloud.

After reading she must then guess who wrote the story, what it is about and then tell the story to the rest of the group.  This is high on my list of hens party games as it adds that personal touch and is quite often a real laugh for everyone involved.
