What are some of the most fun but not too inappropriate bachelorette games that don’t involve alcohol?

1. Cards Against Humanity?

2. We did a scavenger hunt which was hilarious, competitive and super fun.

3. Put a tennis ball in a stocking and tie it around your waist with the tennis ball hanging between your legs. Lay out a line of cones or bowling pins and try to knock them over with the tennis ball by swinging your hips.

4. Attach a tissue box to a ribbon and it around your waist with the box above your bum with the opening facing out. Put ping pong balls in the tissue box and try to shake it out of the box by “twerking”. Time it and make it into a competition.

5. The most fun I had at a hen party (bachelorette but UK) was where all the hens were asked ahead of time to decorate a pair of underwear for the bride with something meaningful about why they knew each other or a private joke or cherished memory. 

   Some people used fabric markers, some people sewed stuff, some people glued stuff.

   On the day they were all pinned to a clothesline and the bride had to guess who had created each one. Some were pretty, some were funny, some were racy, but it took nearly an hour all in, laughing and crying together. Great ice breaker.

   Oh and the bride LOVED all the underwear and kept the washable pairs in her usual rotation!

6. Who am I?

   A note with a famous name on the forehead and you trying to guess who you are.

7. We also did a piñata!

8. One of my friends is fairly religious and so is her family. We knew sex jokes and anything raunchy was a no-go. At her bridal shower, we did a ‘project runway’ wedding dress with toilet paper. We got into groups and decorated one person from the group with toilet paper and tried to make something look like a wedding dress.

   There are some more tame quizzes out there (where was their first date? What is her favorite thing about their partner? Where are they honeymooning?)

   You can ask friends and family to gather pictures of the couple and then ask people to identify where the photo was taken (and when it was taken if they’ve been together a long time).

   Instead of the typical lingerie game, you could ask everyone to do a lipstick and the bride guesses who picked it out.

   Even for non-drinkers, a mocktail bar or Italian soda bar is fun!

10. I actually really like Charades. Especially if the party knows one another.

11. Bachelorette games are a tedious nightmare. Does anyone actually enjoy playing them?

    The last bachelorette party I went to, we went of a baracde and gave everyone a bunch of tokens to play games, then got dinner out at a speakeasy, then we went bowling. It was fun because we weren’t sitting around trying to pin the penis on the fireman or whatever and everyone could do what they enjoyed without being forced to drink or do things and talk about stuff that made them uncomfortable.

12. peel an apple or orange without breaking the peel at the stroke of midnight then toss the peel over your shoulder and rumors say it reveals the initals of the person you might marry.

13. Break into teams, everyone gets a roll of toilet paper to make into a wedding gown. Best gown of toilet paper with accessories and all wins

15. There’s 2 we usually include:

    1) The panty game – everyone buys the bride a pair of panties and then they get hung up. She tries to guess who got which ones for her. The majority of them are either ridiculously silly or sexy pairs, so it’s always good for some laughs. We’ve done it where she drinks if she gets it wrong, but you don’t have to include that part. 

    2) Each person gets 3 clothes pins attached to them. Choose 3 words that are banded. If someone catches you saying one of those words, you take 1 of their clips. We chose words like Wedding, the partners name etc. 

16. One of my bridesmaids created a trivia game based on my likes/dislikes, personality, my history, etc. it was super fun! Whoever had the most points and “knew me the best” won a prize

17. Lingerie party where everyone gifts you cute pajamas or lingerie.

18. I went to one once, where they gave everyone a roll of toilet paper, and you were supposed to “make a wedding dress” on someone else. That was fun.

19. I gave my bridal party swords as their gift. I make my own apple cider, and happened to have 30 pounds of apples lying around, so we had a bonfire and played irl Fruit Ninja!

20. Have everyone carve their best penis using cucumbers. Maybe that’s too inappropriate but it sounds hilarious and no drinks involved

21. Everyone painting a picture of the groom/partner. We’re planning on doing this for one of my friends and I just know the result is going to be hilarious
