The 5 easiest bachelorette party games to play and plan

Worried about planning elaborate bridal shower games to play with your guests? If you’re throwing a bachelorette party, you’re probably busy enough organizing invitations, food, decorations, and house cleaning! Here are 5 great bachelorette party games that require little to no preparation on your part. Even if you’ve played them before, they’re definitely “repeatable” and always a lot of fun!

1. Toilet paper wedding dresses

Preparation time: None

Supplies: Toilet paper rolls

Organize your guests into groups of 4-5. Give each group a roll of toilet paper. Tell the groups that they have 5 (or 10) minutes to dress one member of the group in the best possible wedding dress, made only from toilet paper and whatever else they can have in their bags. Then set a timer. When time is up, ask each well-dressed guest to model her dress. Ask the whole group to vote for their favorite. The winning group receives small prizes or goes first in line to buy a snack.

2. Another set of toilet paper

Preparation time: None

Supplies: 1 or 2 rolls of toilet paper

Pass the toilet paper roll among the guests, instructing each person to “pluck as much as you think you need.”

When everyone has their share, go around the room and ask each person to share one tip for newlyweds per square of toilet paper. Give a prize to the person with the best advice, the funniest advice, or the most advice.

3. Bachelorette Purse Game

Preparation time: 10 minutes

Supplies: Paper and pencils for each guest.

Before you shower, make a list of about 20-25 items that women carry in their handbags. Be sure to list common and unusual items. Assign a point value to each, giving rarer items more points than ordinary ones. To play, give each guest a sheet of paper and a pencil. Say each item on the list, along with its point value. If the guest has that item in her bag, she scores the corresponding number of points. When she has finished reading her list, each guest adds her own score. The person with the most points is the winner.

4. How well do you know the bride?

Preparation time: 10 minutes

Supplies: Paper and pencils for each guest.

Before the shower, make a list of about 20 questions about boyfriends. Include information that most guests are likely to know, along with some that only a select few will know. Include questions like “Where did the bride and groom meet? When? What is the name of the groom’s dog? What is the bride’s middle name? Where are they going on their honeymoon?” and so.

Note: Show your list of questions to the bride ahead of time, to make sure there’s nothing that could make her or any of the guests “awkward.” This can even be done right before your shower, so you can quickly change a question or two.

To play, read each question, give each guest time to write an answer. If guests don’t know the answer, encourage them to guess. These guesses can be fun enough to make the game a hit! When you have asked all the questions, ask the bride to give her answers. Award a prize to the winner or winners.

5. Were you paying attention?

Preparation time: 5 minutes

Supplies: Paper and pencils for each guest.

Before the shower*, take a few minutes and make a list of things guests should be able to notice about the bride if they’re paying attention. Write questions like: “Was the bride wearing a necklace? What color are her shoes? How many rings is she wearing? Is she wearing any lipstick? etc.

In the middle of the shower, ask the bride to leave the room. Give guests paper and pencil. Ask your questions, leaving plenty of time for guests to write short answers. Then call the bride back to the room. The correct answers will become very apparent! Award a prize to the winner or winners.

*Or write the questions quickly after the bride arrives, so you can tailor your questions more precisely.

There are many, many other great bachelorette party games to play, but few are easier than these. So sit back and enjoy the role of the bachelorette party hostess!
