29 Hen Party Games For Your Hen Night That Everyone Can Enjoy
A Hen do would not be complete without some entertaining games for the hen and her party.
If you have been given the task to be creative and come up with some games for your girls then we've got a couple of suggestions to get your night off with a bang!
So, brides, bridesmaids, family and friends, here's some ideas to get your party going!
Dress The Bride
A totally un-original game, but one which is played a lot. Dress the bride gives all the lasses a chance to be girls and play dress up, literally!
What You Need:
- Plenty Of Toilet Paper
- Volunteer hen to use as a mannequin for the dressing
How To Play
Have the toilet paper and glitter at the ready, buy some naughty badges and you're good to go. Class it up with a tiara, or keep it nice and cheesy with some L plates.
Dare Cards
The dare cards, these are amazing pieces of card with extraordinary powers! Write something down on them, and they have to do it...
They work brilliant in bars when you have some girls who are up for a laugh with the unsuspecting guys. Some favourites:
- Propose to a guy
- Get a snog
- Kiss 5 guys
- Get a pair of boxer shorts
Kiss The Hunk
Did you ever play pin the tail on the donkey as a kid? Well this is the more, erm adult version. Kiss the hunk is a fun little game you can have with your friends.
What You Need:
Get a print out of your favourite hot guy, preferable in black and white and stick it up somewhere.
How To Play:
Get the bride to wear the most red or pink lipstick which there is available.
Blindfold the bride, spin her around a few times, and then she has to kiss the hunk, anywhere she likes, or can ;) You are sure to have a laugh with this game!

Never Have I Ever
You've probably heard all about the game Never Have I Ever before. It's pretty straight forward, fun and is sure to get you a bit tipsy or drunk.
What You Need:
- Bravery
- Shot Glasses
- Alcohol
How To Play:
Everyone takes turns in saying Never Have I Ever... and then say something they've never done. If someone in the group has done it, then they have to take a shot! If you've got a lot of confessions, then you might get very drunk, very fast! ;)
Banned Words
A pretty simple sounding game, but hard to keep track of. Banned words means that you draw up a list of words, and have some forfeits.
What You Need:
- List Of Banned Words
How To Play:
If a banned word is said by someone, they have to do the forfeit. It could be words that annoy people like Totes, Amaze, Whatevs and such, or maybe you're friends are a bit geeky and say things like LOL.
The forfeits can be anything from kissing a random guy to drinking a shot, or whatever you fancy!
Scavenger Hunt
This one is really fun. Group yourselves into teams, it's usually best if you have 2 teams, but you may be able to get more if you have more people.
What You Need:
- List Of Items
- Willing Hens
How To Play:
You create a list of items which you have to get on your night, and the one with the most is the winner. It could be a photo with a random guy to a pair of boxer shorts.
My advice would be to leave the more risqué ones until after you've had a few glasses of champagne! ;)
Balloon Questions
A great game which will get things off to a bang, literally. Balloon questions is all about writing a question on some paper, putting it in a balloon and inflating it. Then the bride has to pick out a balloon and pop it, and answer the question.
What You Need:
- Balloons
- Paper
- Pens
This can be a fun game as the questions can be quite anonymous, so you could really get some cringe or embarrassing questions for the bride using this game!
MR & Mrs
The good old game of MR And Mrs is a classic one to play. All you need is a few MR and Mrs questions and then you're good to go.
Get some paddles going if you have him or her style questions, and it will be such a laugh for everyone involved.
What You Need:
- Some good MR & Mrs Questions
