Ideas for Bachelorette Games That Don't Suck!
Why so many of the stereotypical (and boring) bachelorette games are cringe AF is beyond me. However, as a one-time bride and multiple time bridesmaid who has frequented a number of bachelorette parties, here’s my list of the best non-cringey bachelorette games that won’t have all of the guests rolling their eyes (and are not board games).
Fun Bachelorette Party Games
When brainstorming ideas for bachelorette party games, think about creating personalized touches that reflect the bride's personality and her interests, and maybe even incorporate aspects of her upcoming wedding.
1. Prosecco Pong
A great way to kick off the bachelorette party is with a fun twist on a classic game—Prosecco Pong! Also, who doesn't love bachelorette party games that involve having a drink of prosecco?!
Instead of beer, use glasses of prosecco to elevate this drinking game into a glamorous bachelorette party drinking game.
The rules are simple: set up cups of prosecco in a triangle formation on a table, and each team takes turns trying to land ping pong balls into the opposing team's cups.
For every cup the ping pong balls in, the next person from the opposing team has to drink the prosecco.
It’s a fun and classy party game that adds a little elegance to the bachelorette festivities. Don’t forget to snap some cute pics with your photo booth props to commemorate the weekend.
2. Scavenger Hunt
A scavenger hunt is a fun way to get everyone moving, especially if you’re celebrating a bachelorette weekend in a fun destination like Nashville (for our Ultimate Guide on planning the best Nashville bachelorette party - check out our article here).
Split the girls into teams, and give each group a list of items to find or tasks to complete. These could range from taking a selfie with a stranger to buying the bridal party a round of drinks.
Not only is this game a great way to explore your surroundings, but it also sparks friendly competition among the whole group. Plus, you can tailor the scavenger hunt to the bride's preferences by incorporating clues that highlight the bride and fun facts about her fiancé.

Scavenger hunts are always a hit at bachelorette parties, and they’re an ultimate combination of fun and adventure. Check out our bachelorette bingo template below for more ideas of scavenger hunt items!
3. Bridal Trivia
How well does everyone really know the bride? Put everyone’s knowledge to the test with a bride trivia bachelorette party game! Before the bachelorette bash, collect fun facts about the bride and her spouse to be (including some that only the bride would know!), then, during the party, quiz the girls to see which of the girls know the bride best.
Each correct answer earns a point, and the person with the most points wins a prize! This fun method to reminisce about the bride's life can also be personalized with questions that highlight moments from her relationship with her spouse to be, like their favorite drink, favorite board games, etc.
It's one of the more lighthearted party games that’s guaranteed to keep everyone engaged.
4. The Newlywed Game
The Newlywed Game is another traditional game played before a wedding that puts the focus on the bride and her fiancé.
Before the bachelorette party, ask the groom or partner a series of questions - we've listed the best below. Then, during the party, quiz the bride to see if she can guess what her future partner said.
If she gets the answer wrong, she has to take a drink—if she gets it right, the everyone else has to! This bachelorette party game is always a hit, as it’s both entertaining and gives everyone a deeper glimpse into the couple's relationship.
Hopefully the bride isn’t wasted at the end of this game, because that’s PROBABLY not a good sign…
SAMPLE QUESTIONS
Here are some example questions for your bride-to-be bestie and her soon-to-be spouse:
1. What is the bride’s favorite food?

3. What is the bride’s biggest pet peeve?

5. Two Truths and a Lie
A classic icebreaker that works perfectly as a bachelorette party game is Two Truths and a Lie. Each person takes turns sharing two true statements and one false statement about themselves, and the whole group tries to figure out which one is the lie.
This game is perfect for a laid-back night, especially if you’re looking to keep things light before diving into more energetic party games.
The fun part is that everyone can learn more about each other, and you might hear some hilarious or shocking stories that will get the girls talking for the rest of the night.
6. Truth or Dare
No bachelorette party is complete without a round of Truth or Dare! This game is a great icebreaker for girls who might not know each other very well yet.
Take turns asking the bride and her friends questions like "What’s your wildest first kiss story?" for truth, or challenge them to dares like "Text your ex!"
It’s a simple yet effective bachelorette party game that ensures laughs and keeps the energy high. You can even create a list of dare challenges tailored specifically to the bride’s preferences to make it more personal and special.

7. Never Have I Ever
If you want to keep the bachelorette party fun and spicy, play Never Have I Ever! Never Have I Ever encourages everyone to reveal their secrets in a fun and non-judgmental way, and can result in some delightful chaos.
Each person takes turns saying something they have never done—if anyone in the group has done it, they must take a drink.
It’s a great bachelorette party drinking game to play late into the night and see how wild the girls night can get. If you're looking for a way to keep everyone entertained, this is one of the ultimate choices.
8. Dirty Minds
For those looking for ideas of games to play that are a bit more cheeky, Dirty Minds is a hilarious bachelorette party game. In this game, each person is given a clue that sounds risqué but actually has a very innocent answer.
For example, "I get laid in the bed and can keep you warm all night" might have the answer "blanket."
The dirtiest mind doesn’t win here—it's all about coming up with the funniest answers. This party game is a great icebreaker and always gets the group laughing.
9. Photo Booth Fun
Setting up a photo booth is a fun way to ensure everyone has lasting memories from the bachelorette bash. You can create your own photo booth using props, hats, boas, and signs that say things like “Team Bride” or “Future Mrs.”
Not only will it keep guests entertained between other bachelorette party games, but it will also result in some fabulous pictures that the bride to be can cherish for years to come.
Encourage everyone to snap a few funny pictures between rounds of games like Prosecco Pong or truth or dare.
10. Printable Bachelorette Party Games
If you’re short on time but still want to bring fun to the bachelorette festivities, consider using printable bachelorette party games. These ready-made games are a great way to save time while ensuring that the girls stay entertained.
You can buy bachelorette party games online or find premade templates of bachelorette party games that allow you to print everything from bachelorette party scavenger hunts to trivia.
This is the ultimate way to add some structure to the event while keeping things light and enjoyable.
11. Two Truths, One Lie
A variation of Two Truths and a Lie, this game can be personalized for the bride to be and her guests. Everyone shares two things they know about the bride and one thing that’s made up.
The goal is to figure out which statement is the lie, and you have to guess. This version of the game works as both an icebreaker and a fun way for the bride and her friends to celebrate.
12. Bridal Shower Bingo
For those who are incorporating a bridal shower into the bachelorette festivities, bingo for the occasion is a great option.
Create bingo cards with different categories like "opening gifts" or "bride's favorite color" and let guests mark their cards as these moments happen during the party.
This game is perfect for a laid-back night where everyone is sitting around, chatting, and opening gifts.
13. Lip Stickers and Kisses
Another bachelorette party idea is to play a fun game involving lip stickers. Get some lip-shaped stickers in different colors, and place them on items around the party venue. The first person to collect all the stickers wins a prize!
15. PowerPoint Presentation Game
A fun and unique idea for a bachelorette party game is to host a PowerPoint presentation girls night. Before the event, ask the guests to create a short, humorous PowerPoint about something related to the bride, the bridesmaids, or even the upcoming wedding.
This could be funny predictions about the bride’s life, wild memories from college (or elementary school, if you go that far back!), or even a roast of the bride to be. It’s a fun way to get creative and have a lot of laughs, especially if you’re looking for a more low-key evening activity that still brings tons of fun.
For an even easier setup, consider using a premade template for the PowerPoint that fits the theme of the special event. Not only does this ensure consistency, but it also takes away some of the stress of creating the slides from scratch.
This game can easily become the highlight of the bachelorette party, as guests get to show off their sense of humor while celebrating the bride.
16. Life-Size Cutout
A quirky addition to any bachelorette party is bringing in a life-size cutout of the spouse to be! You can incorporate this cutout into multiple games throughout the night. For instance, use it as part of a scavenger hunt where the girls have to take pictures with the cutout at different locations, or include it in a photo booth setup for hilarious selfies.
This is a great way to make the spouse to be "part" of the bachelorette celebrations, even if they can’t attend. Plus, it gives everyone an opportunity to get creative with their poses and pictures, adding a fun, lighthearted touch to the celebration.
PIN THE SMOOTH ON THE FIANCÉ
There are also a number of bachelorette party games that you can play with the cut-out, like "Pin the Kiss on the Fiancé!" To play, each of the guests puts on lipstick, and then "pins" a kiss on the cut-out, as close to the fiancé's lips as possible.
Each player is blindfolded, and spun around multiple times, similar to 'Pin the Tail on the Donkey' (people can take turns spinning the players!) . Then, they have to guess the direction of the cut-out, and try to kiss it.
After everyone has had their turn to guess where the fiancé's face is and plant their kiss, the player who places theirs closest to the groom/fiancé’s actual lips wins a small prize.

14. Would You Rather - X Rated Edition!
This is a dirty take on your classic “Would You Rather”. Circle the choice that you think the bride-to-be would make – for instance, would she rather give a lap dance or perform a strip tease? Circle your best guess, and the bride will make her selects at the end!
As usual on bachelorette parties – if you get it wrong, you drink (sorry!).
