The games and activities

01

Red Flag Roulette

Cheeky · Big laughsIn Hens Party HQ

You need: An AI “male me” photo from each guest, plus three red flags about their alter ego

How to play: Before the party, each guest makes an AI photo of themselves as a man and writes three red flags about him (“Calls his mum to settle every argument”). On the night, his photo comes up and the flags are revealed one by one. The bride guesses which friend he really is, then decides: swipe right or swipe left.

Tip: Collect the photos privately so the bride can’t guess from the group chat.

02

Whose Undies?!

Classic · CheekyIn Hens Party HQ

You need: Each guest brings a pair of undies for the bride, plus three words describing them

How to play: Read the three clues about each pair (“Leopard print, loud, first on the dance floor”). The bride guesses who bought them before the big reveal. She keeps the undies, the group keeps the gossip.

Tip: Take a group photo with all the undies for the keepsake.

03

Mr & Mrs (the Partner Quiz)

How to play: Everyone writes a favourite memory or a piece of advice for the bride. Read a few aloud and keep the rest for later.

How to choose the right games

  • Mix it up: one icebreaker, two or three main games and one activity is plenty for an evening.
  • Know your crowd. If Mum and the bride’s new in-laws are coming, keep the cheeky games for later in the night.
  • Do the homework early. Mr & Mrs, the Shoe Game and Red Flag Roulette all need answers collected a week or two before.
  • Put it on a big screen. Games run faster and everyone can see when the questions and reveals are on the TV, not a phone.
  • Any drink counts. Every drinking forfeit works just as well with mocktails or water.
