Hen Party Accessories Hen Party Games Memory with The Bride Cards Guessing Game (HPMOBP)

Product Information

Spa Day: Spa trips are becoming increasingly popular for pre-wedding get-togethers. The maid of honor or organizer finds a spa nearby and usually books a private room, or sometimes the whole place. If the maid-of-honor is feeling generous, she may pay for small treatments for everyone. More common, however, is for each guest to pay for her own treatments and pitch in for the bride's treatments. Two Truths and a Lie: Everyone introduces herself and tells the group three things about herself: Two are true, and one is a lie. The audience then writes down or shouts out which one they think is a lie.

Know your audience. If there are multiple generations (like grandma) at the party or people that you don’t know, you might want to keep the memories clean. For instance, if your memory with the bride is a wild night in Las Vegas, maybe just keep it at that statement. No need to go into details. Clothespin Game: To begin, choose a common buzzword such as "bride," "groom," or "wedding." When each person comes into the party, hand them a clothespin. Then, if someone hears another person saying the buzzword, they get to take that person's clothespin. The person with the most clothespins at the end of the party wins. Bride-to-Be Trivia: Start this game by asking the guest-of-honor to leave the room, standing just out of sight but within hearing distance. Ask guests what she is wearing, how her hair is styled, etc., and then move on to harder questions such as how the bride and groom met or her favorite animal. The first person to shout out the most correct answers is the winner.Have each guest/player write down a few sentences that tell about a fun or special moment/memory that they shared with the bride. Gossiping: The host of the party and the bride write a gossipy question about every guest on index cards, such as "Who did Lisa have a date with two weeks ago?" or "Who was Maggie's first kiss?" When guests arrive, they each draw an index card and have a set period of time (30 minutes to an hour) to come up with the answer to the question. They should try to avoid asking the person directly. At the end of the time period, each guest comes to the front of the room and shares their bit of gossip with the group. One of my favorite nights ever was singing karaoke with you and the girls (Eat your heart out Spice Girls!) How Old Was She?: Find pictures of the bride at a variety of ages. Pin them to a board and hand out sheets of paper to each guest. As they mingle and eat, they can guess what age she was in each picture. Give a prize to the person with the most correct answers. Toilet Paper Wedding Dress: Divide the group into two or more teams of at least three people each. The teams are given rolls of toilet paper, and each team chooses a "bride." Give the teams 15 minutes to create a wedding dress on their "bride" using the toilet paper. At the end of the allotted time, vote for the best and funniest wedding dresses.

Learn a New Skill: If you know how to knit, arrange flowers, make jewelry, or paint pottery, why not teach it to the guests? They'll spend a fun afternoon learning a new skill and leave with a project or give one to the bride. If you're not confident in your teaching abilities, look to local stores for group one-day classes that can be booked for the day. Try a paint or pottery class or attend a group cooking class. Bridal Bingo: In another variation of Bridal Bingo, guests fill the cards out themselves with presents they think the bride is likely to receive, putting their own gift in the free square in the middle. When a guest has a matching square with what the bride has called (or opened), she can cross it off. Five in a row across or diagonally counts as bingo. Give a prize to the first winner.

If guests are local, you could give gift certificates to local restaurants, shops, or spas (It’s a great way to support local businesses) How Well Does the Bride Know the Groom: Before the shower, ask the groom questions about himself and carefully write down his answers. At the shower, ask the bride to predict what he said. If the answers match, she gets a prize. If the answers don't match, the first guest to call out the correct answer gets the prize. Sample questions include: What is his favorite color? Favorite band? Favorite thing to do on the weekend? Dream vacation? Where was their first date? Tip: To avoid awkward silence while filling out the cards, you could play a song or 2 from the bride’s music playlist. Would She Rather: Before the shower, ask the bride to write down her favorite vacations, shows, celebrities, foods, animals, etc. that she prefers. Ideas include sleeping late vs. waking early, dogs vs. cats, Italian food vs. Mexican food, wine vs. beer, etc. Give each guest a copy of the game card and have them circle what they think the bride's preferences would be. The one with the most correct is the winner.
