Fantastic Games For Bachelorette Parties

September 18, 2010 by · Leave a Comment 

Friends plan a bachelorette party for a bride-to-be as a celebration of her upcoming marriage and as a last fling as a single person. The party could be held at home, a a restaurant, but having some party games in the program will keep the party lively and increase everyones’s enjoyment.

The bride can expect to be embarrassed at her bachelorette party, and this is fun as long as it isn’t hurtful, so keep it lighthearted. Have fun at the bride’s expense, but ensure that she will be laughing too. Remember, it is a celebration time for the bride and she has to have fun.

Provide a pretend veil and tiara for the bride to wear, and a sash that says ‘I am the bride’. This outfit is especially funny if you are all going out to celebrate, as other people will see the fun and often will join in too.

You will need to make the time to do some prior preparation for one of the best bachelorette party games. Before the party, get the groom to answer some questions about himself, his bride, their courtship and their relationship. Ask the bride the same questions at the party and have fun when the two sets of answers are compared. There is certain be lots of fun and hilarity. The Internet is a great place to find bachelorette party favors or bridal shower gifts.

Another question game involves asking the bride some questions about herself and the groom which you then ask the guests at the party. You can include questions about the groom’s type of shoes, where the proposal took place, when the couple were first found each other and so on. The answers you will get will be clever and funny and this will add to the fun at the party.

If the bride is a cola drinker, you can play cola drinking games, where she has to drink a cola for every answer she gets wrong to a set of questions supplied by her groom. The more questions she gets wrong, the funnier her answers will become.

Another fun game is a scavenger hunt involving all the guests. Keep to the wedding theme with the items to be found, emphasizing quick fixes to a problem. Examining what everyone has found will be the funny part, so keep the list fairly short so you can get to the fun part. Maybe include things like an item in the groom’s favorite color, something needed on a honeymoon, what every marriage needs etc.

Set the bride a few dares that she must do then and there with her guests watching. Come up with hilarious dares that she would usually be too embarrassed to even consider doing, like finding a man in the bar wearing the same type of shoes as her groom wears and getting the band to ask her to sing. Great amusement will keep everyone entertained, from the bride to the other innocent bystanders in the store.

There are lots of resources where you can find ideas for fun games which can be adapted for a bachelorette party. The games you play should be lighthearted and simple so everyone has fun, even the target of the hilarity. Again using the Internet can be a good place to look for bachelorette party games.

Gifts for the Bride and Groom

March 7, 2009 by · 2 Comments 

Gifts for the bride and groom are optional, although most guests attempt to give at least a token gift of their best wishes, as the saying goes it’s the thought that counts. Traditionally the gifts for the bride and groom are products and objects that are used to make the transition into shared living easier, they can be anything from the useful (if obvious) toaster or electric knife (we ended up with three of these) to the more expensive gifts such as a honeymoon, car or even a home.

Wedding gifts will form an inevitable part of the wedding day celebrations, so why not spend a little time picking an appropriate or unique gift. A wedding is usually an enjoyable time for all involved, including the guests, so a carefully chosen wedding gift will help the new couple remember their special day, and let them start their life as a married couple with the things they need.

Etiquette rules prohibit the bride and groom from soliciting gifts, which would preclude them listing their place of registry, for example, in their wedding invitations. However the couple will often register for gifts at a favourite store well in advance of their wedding. Some brides and grooms and families feel that, for the expense and effort they put into showing their guests a good time and to wine and dine them, the guests should reciprocate by providing nice gifts. Taking this a step further, some couples register with services that enable money gifts intended to fund items such as a honeymoon, home purchase or college fund.
