The bridal shower may be charming and subdued, but the same rules don’t apply to the bachelorette party. Kick off your heels and help your bride blow off some wedding planning steam with these hilarious bachelorette party games and unique bachelorette party ideas.
Think Outside the Bar
When most people think of bachelorette parties they think bars and booze. While that can be a great time, we are here to give you some unique ideas to delight and surprise the bride-to-be and her bridal party.
💆♀️Spa Day Baes
We all know planning a wedding can be stressful, so why not plan a bachelorette party activity that will help the lady of the hour relax and feel like the pampered princess she is? Schedule some massages, facials, and manicures at your local spa, or bring the relaxation to you by hiring a mobile spa.

💃 Get Your Groove On
Does your bachelorette babe love to dance? Mix it up from the usual club outing and hire a belly dancer or salsa dancer to give dance lessons to your crew. Want to get a little wilder? Find a local pole dancing class! Some studios may even be able to host the whole party.
If your girl just really loves to freestyle consider finding a local music festival or high-energy concert. Then she can dance all day and night to her heart’s content!
🍝 Party Al Dente
Who doesn’t love a good meal? Treat the bride-to-be to a professional cooking class. She can learn some new skills while sipping wine, and everyone can enjoy a delicious meal! Not into doing the cooking yourselves? That’s ok, hire a personal chef to cook your bachelorette party a fabulous meal for a fancy night in.
🍷 Put the Party in Slumber Party
Relive the good ole days of sleepovers with your besties by hosting an adult slumber party! Put on your comfies, pour some wine, and play games (MASH, anyone?) or watch a movie. Coming-of-age classics from her youth and vintage Disney are always good choices. Or, make sure everyone stays awake with some Magic Mike-style flicks. And of course, you will want to make sure there is plenty of junk food!
🥂 Drag Her to Brunch
It’s a scientific fact that everyone loves brunch. So your favorite bachelorette will be thrilled when you suggest brunch as a bachelorette activity. But not just any brunch, find a local drag brunch or plan your own by hiring a drag queen. Give the performer fun facts about the bachelorette and enjoy the hilarious and personalized show with everyone’s favorite meal of the day!
🎤 Get Roasted
Tickle your bride-to-be’s funny bone with this creative and comedic idea. Consider hiring a comedian to host a roast of the bachelorette. Everyone can take turns poking good fun at the bachelorette, but let the host comedian keep everything on track and headline the show. You can’t go wrong with a night full of gut-busting laughter!
😅 Sweat It Out
Ok, hear us out. Working up a sweat may not be a typical bachelorette party activity, but maybe the bride enjoys getting her heart rate up. Hire a yoga instructor for a private lesson, or maybe find a local studio that does acro yoga classes.
If the bachelorette is a nature lover, plan a day hike and rent a cabin in the woods. Bonus: You can get as loud and rowdy as you want with no neighbors to complain!
Game On!
What is a bachelorette party without any games? Games are a great way to break the ice and get the party started. There may be a mix of friend groups at the bachelorette party, so what better way for everyone to get to know each other than some hilarious games?
🏆 Ugly Bridesmaid Dress Contest
Everyone knows that one of the worst things about being in a wedding is the potentially bad bridesmaid dress. Embrace this tradition and scour your local thrift stores for the most outlandish attire you can find! Have the party guests arrive in their ensembles and vote on the winner.
This idea is also the perfect opportunity for some great candid photos. If you’re lucky, you may even find a hidden gem in your shopping quest: a vintage white prom dress that’s just the bride’s size!
❓ Lingerie Guessing Game
No bachelorette bash would be complete without lingerie. For this bachelorette party activity, each guest should bring a new piece of lingerie for the bride. The twist is that it should be something that reflects their personality. For a girly-girl bride, find something with lots of lace and shimmer. More of a hippie chick? Go for a long silk chemise or floral print nightdress.
Get creative and look for things that the bride wouldn’t buy herself. The bride can then guess which guest brought each piece of lingerie. Brides love a bachelorette party game that includes gifts, and she’ll be all stocked up for the honeymoon!
😘 Kiss the Bride
For this fun game, grab a few tubes of cheap lipstick and some blank paper. It’s time for Bachelorette Party Pictionary! In this version, the contestants put the tube of lipstick in their mouths to draw.
List some bachelorette game topics like “diamond ring” or “champagne glass” and add them to a hat or bowl. Contestants can draw and be timed, or split up into teams to see who guesses the correct answer first. Remember, no hands!
😈 Do You Dare?
Not feeling very creative? Let someone else handle the work for you! This awesome scratch-off dare card game from Big Dot of Happiness will shake up the night. Each dare card could range from innocent to bold, so there’s something for everyone.
You can pass out a dare card to each person at the beginning of the party or keep players on their toes by handing them out as the night goes on. Either way, there’s bound to be lots of laughter and perhaps even blackmail with this game.
💄 Blushing Bride
You may want to hit the dollar store for this bachelorette party game idea. Stock up on the most obnoxious eyeshadow, blush, and lipstick that you can find! Print out some pictures of the bride sans makeup (if she’ll let you) and lay them out for the party guests. Blindfold the players and give them their makeup kit.
Each player has one minute to give the bride a fabulous makeover! The bride gets to pick which member of her bride tribe did the best makeup job. Guaranteed laughs with this one!
🔍 Bachelorette Scavenger Hunt
Up the ante on your night out with a bachelorette scavenger hunt. Create a list of tasks, each worth a certain amount of points, for the partygoers to complete. Of course, there must be photographic proof of the completed task. The girl with the most points at the end night wins!
🍾 Prosecco Pong
Ok, we know this one is a little cliché, but drinking games are a bachelorette staple. Of course, beer pong is the most classic of all drinking games, but if beer isn’t up the lady of the hour’s alley then prosecco is the perfect substitute. You could even use sparkling grape juice if she prefers a mocktail.
✔️ Bachelorette Bingo
Get your daubers primed and your bingo cards ready! Bachelorette bingo is the spicy version of Grandma’s favorite Friday night activity. Create your own bingo cards or find some printable cards on Etsy. Assign a bingo caller, get your drinks ready, and have some adorable prizes ready for your winners. This game will be a definite hit with the girls!
A bachelorette weekend is a time for the bride to have fun with her bride tribe and make lasting memories. Celebrate her with the best bachelorette party filled with fun games and activities that she won’t soon forget. 🙌
