50 Fabulous Hen Party Games for Every Type of Hen Do

Classy Hen Party Games

If your hen do is more champagne and canapés than shots and L plates, classy hen party games are the way to go! Perfect for an afternoon tea, a country house weekend, or any celebration where you want to keep things elegant – but still have a fabulous time.

1. The Newlywed Game – Ask the groom a list of questions before the hen do and record his answers. At the party, ask the bride the same questions in front of everyone. Every wrong answer gets a reaction and it's so much fun. Think questions like 'What's the bride's worst habit?' and 'Where was your first date?' It's a classy hen party game that never fails to entertain.
2. Blind Wine Tasting – Set up 4-5 different wines with the labels covered. Everyone tastes and rates each one, then you reveal the bottles at the end. You'd be amazed how many people pick the cheap one as their favourite! It works just as well with gin, cocktails, or even cheese if you want a non-drinking version.
3. Guess the Dress – Everyone sketches what they think the bride's wedding dress looks like. The bride picks her favourite drawing and the winner gets a prize. It's sweet, creative, and the drawings are always hilarious regardless of artistic ability!
4. The Shoe Game – The bride and a bridesmaid sit back to back, each holding one of the bride's shoes and one of the groom's. Ask questions like 'Who said I love you first?' and they hold up the shoe of the person they think the answer is. It's one of those classy hen party games that's funny without being crude.
5. Hen Party Bingo – Create personalised bingo cards with things likely to happen during the hen do. 'Someone cries', 'the bride mentions the wedding', 'someone loses their phone'. First to complete a line wins. It runs in the background all day which is fabulous.

Funny Hen Party Games

Want the kind of hen party games that have everyone crying with laughter? These funny hen party games are guaranteed to have your group in stitches – a bit cheeky but nothing too outrageous!

1. Mr & Mrs Lie Detector – Like the normal Mr & Mrs game but the bride has to hold ice cubes while answering. If she takes too long to answer or drops the ice, she's clearly lying! The reactions are priceless and it's one of the funniest hen do games we see at our hen parties!
2. Toilet Roll Wedding Dress – Split into teams. Each team has 10 minutes and 2 rolls of toilet paper to create a wedding dress on one team member. The bride picks the winner. The creativity (and the disasters!) are always hilarious. It's a funny hen party game that works every single time.
3. What Would the Bride Do? – Read out scenarios and everyone has to guess what the bride would do in that situation. 'If she found a spider in the bath', 'If someone cut in front of her in a queue', 'If the groom forgot their anniversary'. The bride reveals her real answer and points go to whoever was closest.
4. Prosecco Roulette – Fill identical glasses with prosecco but add tonic water to a couple of them. Everyone picks a glass and drinks. Whoever gets the tonic has to do a dare. Simple but so funny watching everyone's faces!
5. Celebrity Couples Quiz – Show photos of celebrity couples and the group has to name both people. Throw in some tricky ones and some really obvious ones. Add bonus rounds where you show childhood photos of the bride and groom and the group has to guess who's who. One of the best funny hen night games for keeping things light and competitive!

Hen Party Drinking Games

If your hen do involves cocktails, prosecco, or a few bottles of wine, hen party drinking games will take the fun up a notch! These hen do drinking games are easy to set up and always get the group buzzing.

1. Prosecco Pong – Like beer pong but make it hen party! Set up plastic cups in a triangle at each end of a table, fill them with prosecco, and take turns throwing a ping pong ball into the other team's cups. If it lands, they drink. It's the most popular hen party drinking game by a mile and you can buy ready-made Prosecco Pong kits online.
2. Never Have I Ever (Hen Edition) – Everyone holds up 5 fingers. Take turns saying 'Never have I ever...' followed by something hen do related. 'Never have I ever kissed the groom', 'Never have I ever cried at a wedding'. If you have done it, you put a finger down and take a sip. Last person standing wins!
3. Drink If... – Read out a list of 'Drink if...' statements. 'Drink if you've known the bride longer than 10 years', 'Drink if you've been on holiday with her', 'Drink if you've seen her ugly cry'. It's one of the easiest hen do drinking games to set up and it gets conversations flowing immediately.
4. Ring on a String – Thread a ring onto a long piece of string. Everyone sits in a circle holding the string and passes the ring along while music plays. When the music stops, one person has to guess who has the ring. If they guess wrong, they drink. If they guess right, the person holding the ring drinks. Such a simple hen party drinking game but so addictive!
5. The Forbidden Word – At the start of the hen do, choose a forbidden word that nobody is allowed to say. Usually it's the groom's name, 'wedding', or 'bride'. Every time someone says it, they drink. You'd be amazed how hard it is to avoid saying 'wedding' at a hen party! This one runs all day as a background hen do drinking game.

Mr & Mrs Hen Party Quiz

How it works: before the hen do, send the groom a list of questions and record his answers (video works best but written is fine too). At the hen party, ask the bride the same questions. Every time her answer doesn't match the groom's, she has to do a forfeit. It's so much fun because the whole room gets involved shouting out what they think the answer is!
