Bachelorette Party Games: 28 Clean Games for Home, Small Groups and No Drinking, Plus an Original Groom Quiz

By The Rondovo team · Published · Updated · 8 min read

Two Truths on Rondovo: the shared screen during a game

The best bachelorette party games are about the bride and her friends, not shock value: a "how well do you know the groom" quiz with his answers recorded in advance, a bride trivia round, two truths and a lie, "most likely to", charades with wedding themed prompts, a ring scavenger hunt and a few quick team games. They work just as well with or without drinks, at home or out, and they suit a mixed group of sisters, school friends, colleagues and future in-laws. Pick three or four games, keep each under 20 minutes, and let the bride veto anything.

In short

  • The one game nearly every party plays: the groom quiz. Record his answers before the party.
  • For a small group (4 to 8): two truths and a lie, bride trivia, a describing game, a card or board game.
  • For a large group (10 to 20): teams for charades or a taboo style game, a ring scavenger hunt, "most likely to" with everyone voting at once.
  • At home: a craft table, a quiz, a drawing game on the TV.
  • No drinking, clean by default: points, sweets and small prizes do the job drinks used to.

What makes a good bachelorette party game

Hen and bachelorette parties often bring together people who barely know each other: the bride's oldest friend, her new sister-in-law, a work friend, her mum. The games are how they become one group for the night.

About the bride, not at her expense. Questions about her life, her partner and her friends are the heart of it. Stories that would mortify her in front of her future mother-in-law are not.

Clean enough for everyone in the room. If her aunt or a pregnant friend is there, plan for them. Racier games can come later if the group thins out and the bride wants them.

Easy to dip into. Games with short rounds let latecomers join and let people step out to sort the food.

Not built on drinking. Some guests don't drink, some are driving, some are pregnant. A game that only works with shots leaves them out.

Bachelorette party games about the bride and groom

  1. How well do you know the groom? Before the party, ask the groom 15 questions and record his answers on video. At the party, the bride answers first, then you play his answer. Every match scores a point, and every miss gets a reaction.
  2. Bride trivia. Guests answer questions about the bride on a card; the friend with the most right wins. Mix easy ("her first car") with hard ("the name of her first pet").
  3. Who said it, bride or groom? Read out quotes the couple gave you in advance; guests guess who said each one.
  4. Guess the photo. Baby or childhood photos of the bride and her friends; match each photo to a guest.
  5. Story of us timeline. Cards with key moments of the couple's relationship; teams race to put them in order.
  6. Ring scavenger hunt. Hide plastic rings around the house or venue. Whoever finds the most wins. Or give each guest a ring and the rule that nobody says "wedding": catch someone saying it and take their ring.
  7. Advice cards. Each guest writes one piece of marriage advice or a date night idea. The bride reads the best out loud.
  8. Wedding dress design. Teams design a wedding dress from toilet paper, tissue or crepe paper. The bride judges.

Bachelorette party games for small groups

For 4 to 8 people around a table or on a sofa.

  1. Two truths and a lie. Each guest shares two true facts and one lie about themselves. Perfect for groups who are half strangers. Our guide to two truths and a lie has scoring ideas.
  2. Never have I ever, clean. Hold up ten fingers; put one down each time you have done the thing. Keep it to travel, food, mishaps and memories. Our never have I ever questions has a clean section.
  3. Truth or dare, kind version. Truths about opinions and memories, dares that are silly and short. See our truth or dare questions, which stay PG-13 at most.
  4. Describing game. Teams of two: one describes, the other guesses, without saying the word. Use wedding words: veil, honeymoon, confetti, vows, bouquet.
  5. A board or card game. Codenames, a card game everyone knows, or a quick word game while dinner cooks.
  6. Desert island honeymoon. Each guest packs an imaginary suitcase for the honeymoon with three items; the bride guesses whose is whose.

Bachelorette party games for large groups

For 10 to 20 people, teams and simultaneous voting keep everyone involved.

  1. Charades, wedding edition. Romantic films, wedding traditions, things the couple says. Two teams. Our charades ideas has lists to add.
  2. Pictionary relay. Teams race to guess drawings of wedding words on a big pad.
  3. Most likely to. "Most likely to cry first at the wedding", "most likely to lose the rings". Everyone points at once; no one is put on the spot for long. Our most likely to questions are sorted by tone.
  4. Bride's playlist quiz. Play the first few seconds of songs that matter to the couple; teams write the titles.
  5. Toilet paper wedding dress, in teams. Works best with five or more teams.
  6. Pass the parcel with dares. Each layer has a small task (do your best impression of the groom, share your favourite memory of the bride). Keep every task kind.

Bachelorette party games at home

At home you control the music, the food, and the pace. Games can be more relaxed.

  1. Craft station. Decorate tote bags, mugs or flower crowns. Not exactly a game, but a natural centre for chat.
  2. Pamper and predict. Face masks on, then everyone writes predictions for the wedding day: who cries first, who dances on a table, what time the bride's shoes come off. Open them after the wedding.
  3. Movie bingo. Put on a romantic comedy and give everyone a card of clichés.

Bachelorette party games online

For bridesmaids in different cities, or a catch-up before travelling together. Get everyone on one video call for the chat, then play a browser game where everyone sees the game on their own screen.

  1. Online groom quiz. Share your screen to play the groom's video answers; guests type their guesses in the chat or a quiz tool like Kahoot.
  2. Online party games. Free browser games where everyone answers at once, so nobody waits on a laggy mic. Our online party games roundup compares them.

Rondovo is free and works for both. One person hosts a room, everyone joins at rondovo.com with the four letter code on any device, and nobody needs an account or a download. Together in one room, a TV is optional: open rondovo.com/tv in its browser. On a call, everyone picks "Just this screen", so each person sees the board themselves and nobody has to share their screen. These suit a bachelorette:

  1. Two Truths, 3 to 12 players. Everyone writes two truths and a lie; the room picks the lie on their own screens. You score for spotting lies and for fooling people.
  2. Fill-In, 3 to 12 players. A sentence with a blank, everyone types the funniest ending, and the group votes on anonymous answers. Our prompts are silly rather than crude, which suits a mixed group.
  3. Act It Out, 4 to 16 players. Our charades game where the other team picks the first word of your turn, and only your screen shows it.

Also good: Most Likely To, with light prompts (nothing about romance or alcohol), Face Up, where you hold your screen to your forehead while friends give clues, and Scrawl for drawing and guessing. Our games don't let you add custom questions, so the groom quiz and bride trivia still belong on paper or in a quiz tool.

Bachelorette party games with prizes

Small prizes make the competitive friends try harder: nail polish, face masks, good chocolate, candles, a cocktail glass for a mocktail. Give a prize for the best groom quiz score, the best dress designer team, and the guest who travelled furthest. If the bride wins anything, she gives it to someone else.

Planning the big day too? Our wedding reception games has a couple quiz and shoe game questions, and if the celebrations include a sangeet, see our sangeet games. Our party games guide has ideas for every other celebration, and for a quieter night with the couple, see games for couples.
