Split your group into teams for a bit of friendly competition. Give each team some costumes and props for a fun dress-up challenge. The goal is to take the most creative or funny glamour shot in the photo booth quickly.
To make it extra fun and fair, the bride is the official judge, scoring each team based on the following:
- 💃 Most Over-the-Top Ensemble (40%)
Think drama, flair, and the kind of look you’d never wear in real life but will talk about for years.
- 🎞 Best Throwback or Retro Vibe (30%)
Did someone go full ‘70s disco? ‘90s pop diva? Points for nailing a nostalgic aesthetic.

6. The Newlywed Game (BATCH version) 💍
Why not try something similar to the Newlywed Game by asking the bride-to-be about her future spouse? Before the party, quickly chat with your partner about themselves and their relationship.
During the event, see how well the bride’s answers match up. You will celebrate the couple’s connection and have a bit of fun at the same time.
Sample questions:
- What’s her go-to comfort food?
- What’s his guilty pleasure TV show?
- What was your first impression of her?
- Who takes longer to get ready?
Add a visual flair by giving the bride mini chalkboards or paddle signs to hold up (“Nailed it!” or “Nice try!”) as she reacts to each match. For extra fun, record her answers and laughter as a mini video keepsake.
7. Lingerie Guessing Game 👙
Turn gift-giving into a chic mystery game. Each guest brings a piece of lingerie for the bride, from sweet to sassy, without signing their name. Instead, place the gifts in numbered bags or boxes and have the bride guess who gave what.
As each item is revealed, the bride writes down her guess and shares it with the group before the real giver is unveiled. It’s equal parts fashion show and personality quiz, giving the bride a stylishly fun new wardrobe and a lot of laughs in the process.
8. Wedding Vows Mad Libs 📝
Create a template for the wedding vows, leaving blanks for the nouns, verbs, and adjectives. Guests fill in the blanks without knowing the context, and then the bride reads the vows aloud. The results are often pretty funny, offering a lighthearted take on the seriousness of real wedding vows.
Sample template:
“I promise to [verb] you when you are [adjective] and to never [verb] your [noun].”
9. Drink “if” Game 🍷
Let’s find a simple yet engaging way to keep everyone sipping. “Drink If” statements are passed around, encouraging guests to drink if the statement applies to them.
As experts, we recommend using wine cooler bags to keep the drinks chilled, which is practical and adds fun to the festivities.
Try these fun prompts:
- Drink if you met the bride before age 18
- Drink if you’ve ever gone on a blind date
- Drink if you’ve cried at a rom-com
- Drink if you’ve ever texted the wrong person a love message

It’s a classy way to kick off the evening, mixing a classic game with a splash of sparkling sophistication.
Safety Tip: Use water in the game glasses for tossing, and keep chilled prosecco separately for sipping.
11. Cocktail Crafting Competition 🍸
Why not get creative and host a cocktail-making competition? Set up a bar with various spirits, mixers, and garnishes, and challenge guests to create the ultimate bachelorette party cocktail in honor of the bride-to-be.

Game Tip: Provide each guest with a tasting card to guess flavors and rate each chocolate for sweetness and richness.
13. Guess the Cake 🧁
Get a few different types of mini cakes or cupcakes together in a guessing game. Guests have fun guessing the flavors without seeing them, and everyone gets to enjoy a sweet treat.

14. Sushi Roll Roulette 🍣
Make a platter of sushi rolls for a fun culinary challenge. Try to include one or two rolls with an unusual or spicy ingredient.
Guests take turns picking a piece to eat, not knowing if it’ll be a delightful bite or a surprising twist. It’s better to liven up the menu with fun and flavor.
If you’re short on time, reaching out to the nearby sushi place is perfect. But don’t forget to check Yelp and Google reviews to ensure they’re at least 4.5-5 stars.
Sourcing Tip: If you’re short on time, order from a nearby sushi restaurant with at least 4.5 stars on Yelp or Google to ensure top-quality ingredients and presentation.

It excites the bride about new experiences and keeps the fun of the bachelorette party going long after it’s over.
Sample ideas to spark inspiration: “Book a surprise weekend getaway,” “Host a themed dinner night,” or “Start a shared journal.”

So bring more healthy activities into the party with plenty of laughs.
