Today I got an invite to my cousins hens night, I have never been to a hens night before so I am pretty dam excited for it, she is a bit of a wild one, so I bet there will be a lot of twists and turns in the night. I feel like I am a bit of an expert on hens nights at the moment, not that I have even been to one haha.
There are so many great things that you can do, the obvious being strippers, but there are day spas, cruises, girls nights in, chocolate tours, winery tours, pole dancing classes, burlesque classes...
So whats my plan? I am thinking about doing a bridal shower and hens day in one. I'm not a fan of the bridal shower games, I find that sort of thing pretty corny, but for those who might be interested, heres a few great game ideas:
Bridal QuizContact the groom and ask him 20 questions about the bride. At the shower, each guest and the bride answers the questions. The guest with the most correct answers (according to the groom) wins. The bride's answers are then compared with the groom's out loud.
Bride's Comments
Have someone write down the bride's comments as she opens each gift. Read these back to her as if they were comments she was to make on the wedding night - eg "I love it, but it's too small", "Mum uses hers all the time"
Clothespin Game
Everyone is given a peg at the beginning of the shower and then rules are nominated. They may be for the group or everyone has their own rule. Rules can include 'you can't play with your hair', 'you can't say wedding', etc. Each time someone is caught breaking a rule, their peg is stolen by the person who caught them. The winner is the person with the most pegs at the end of the shower.
Design a GownEveryone is divided into small groups and given a number of toilet paper rolls. A time limit is set and each group must design a gown using the toilet paper and any items they have in their handbag. At the end of the time, the "gowns" are judged for funniest, most stylish, etc.
Do You Know Me?The bride fills out a facts sheet about herself and then each guest must try and guess what the bride would answer. Questions could include Favourite food, Favourite band, First kiss, etc. The person with the most correct answers wins.
Famous CouplesCut out pictures of famous couples and paste them on a large board. Cover them all up. Remove the cover from the bodies first and have the guests guess who the couple are. Once it has been guessed correctly, remove the cover on the faces. Move onto the next couple. Whoever guesses the most correct, wins.
How They MetWrite out the story of the bride and groom met then take out the key words. Fill in the blanks by asking the guests for verbs, nouns, adjectives, etc then read the new story back to everyone.
Trivia QuizThis is best if the questions relate to the bride and groom, love, marriage, etc. Questions could relate to theme of the shower. eg A 'Month' Shower could have questions such as What month did the couple meet?, What month was the groom born?, What month is diamond the birthstone for?The honeymoon is in Cairns. What is Cairns' rainiest month?, etc.
As for me, I am thinking of a pretty easy going brekky locally for everyone to have a great feed and cacth up and then get transport to the races, being that it is caulfield cup day, everyone can get dressed up, have a bet and enjoy the day...providing victoria gives us a warm October day!
