With this kind of setup, people will be able to get to know each other better and have an easier time breaking the ice.
We’ve compiled a very extensive list of the best bachelorette party games for you and your guests. These games range from all-ages to R-rated and everything in between. We’re sure you’ll find something that suits the vibe of your bachelorette party!
Bachelorette Party Drinking Games
If libations are what you share in common with the rest of the guests at the bachelorette party, then be sure to check out this list of fun games!
Beer Pong
If you want to relive the glory days of partying at college, arrange yourself into groups and play different version of Beer Pong! All you need are red Solo cups, beer (or your favorite beverage) and ping pong balls. Show off the skills you had back in college!
Drunk Jenga
All you need are two or player for at least an hour! Get some permanent markers, lots of booze a brand new Jenga game – it’ll be a present for the bride after the party.
Here’s how you play:
1. Write a command on the side of a Jenga piece so that nobody can see it, such as ‘do a strip tease’, ‘sing a song by Rihanna’, ‘kiss the person across from you on the lips’ etc.
2. Build the Jenga tower.
3. Each player will take turns by pulling a block and doing whatever the block says.
4. If the tower falls on your turn, you’ll have to drink all the leftover beverages that have been poured together.
Never Have I Ever
There’s no doubt about it; this game is a must-have for every girls’ night! But especially if it’s your bachelorette party! Starting with the bride-to -to-be, take turns amongst the group telling each person what they’ve never tried before. When someone says, “I haven’t,” everyone else drinks and the game starts again. Continue until you run out of ideas or get tired of the game.
Lick and Stick
The beginning of the party starts with two people sitting across from each other, with their eyes shut and a deck of playing cards. Each person takes a card from the pack and licks the printed side of the card. Then they stick the card with face-up to their forehead, with the numbers showing. Each person opens their eyes and they each have to figure out if their card is a higher number than the other person. Whoever guesses incorrectly has to take a shot.
Guess Who?
This is a great game for guests who don’t know each other all that well – all you need are at least 3 players and approximately half an hour. Get a few sheets of paper, some pens, a small bowl and either bottles of alcohol or non-alcoholic drinks such as punch or soft drinks and shot glasses.
Here’s how you play:
1. Have each person take a sheet of paper and write a secret about themselves. There are no rules about what kind of secret can be written down, but the more personal the secret, the more fun the group will have when guessing.
2. When each guest is done writing down their secret, everyone will drop their folded pieces of paper into the bowl. If you don’t have a bowl, a paper bag, box or a hat will also work.
3. Starting with the bride-to-be, each person will take turns take a piece of paper out of the power and reading the secret out loud before the group guesses who wrote it.
4. When a player guesses the correct writer, the writer of the secret takes a shot. If the player guesses wrong, the player takes a shot.
Lie Detector
The whole point of this game is to determine what’s true and what’s a lie. All you need are two players at once (the bride-to-be and rotating guests), tape or rope and either bottles of alcohol or non-alcoholic drinks such as punch or soft drinks and shot glasses.
Set aside about 30 to 40 minutes depending on the number of questions and be sure to have each guest prep a number of private or embarrassing questions to ask the bachelorette, either about herself or typically, about her future spouse. These questions should be written on pieces of paper; questions can be family-appropriate or PG, but they’re typically R-rated.
Here’s how you play:
1. Two players take a seat across from each other and on each side of the rope or the line of tape that has been placed on the floor – this is the “lie line”.
2. The bachelorette pulls out a random piece of paper and reads the question aloud to the players. She then gives an answer of her choice.
3. The players in that round need to guess if the bachelorette’s answer was a truth or a lie.
4. The player who guesses wrong must take a shot; the person who was right scores a point. The player with the most points at the end of the game is the winner!
This game can also be played in groups with players from each team doing a “face off”. If the player guesses wrong, the whole team has to take a shot.
Thunderstruck
How about an awesome bachelorette party game? This one is easy enough to play, and requires only two things – “Thunderstruck”, the AC/DC song and alcohol! The rules are simple – start with the bachelorette taking a sip of her beverage when she hears “thunder” in the song. She has to keep drinking until the word shows up the next time and then it passes to the next person to start drinking. Keep going around the group until the song ends!
Shot Roulette
Try this game only if you dare – it’s not meant for amateurs at all! Before you head out for the night, get lots of mini-shot bottles of all kinds. Place them vertically on a table in a circle and place one bottle in the middle. Each guest will take turns spinning the shooter and will need to take shot of whatever drink the shooter points at. To make it even more of a mystery, pour all the drinks into identical cups so that you have no idea what you’re drinking.

The Newlywed Game

Bachelorette Balderdash
This version of the classic game is perfect for bachelorette parties, especially if the questions are a bit naughty and there are drinks involved!
All you need are at least 3 players; the maximum number of players is limitless! You can also go on for as long as you like, but ideally you should play for at least 20 to 30 minutes.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Come up with all the bride and / or groom related questions in advance. You can get super creative by having the questions printed on nice paper that matches the color palette the bride has chosen or get them printed on photos of the couple themselves!
- Put all the printed cards into a box or a basket so that players can select the cards at random.
- Make sure you have paper or extra cards for players to write answers on as well as either pens or pencils for each player. Consider getting the answer cards printed in the same color or theme as the question cards as well.
- Have a separate box or basket for the answer cards to be placed into.
- Get a dry-erase board or create a scoreboard so that you can keep score for each player. Make it bridal themed by incorporate the bride’s color palette or get bridal-themed stickers to keep score.
- Make sure you have a wide variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages to make the game interesting!
Here’s how to play:
1. Whoever is appointed moderator of the game will pull a question card from the box or basket and will then read the question out loud. All the players (except the bride) will write their name and their answers on a card and will then drop their answer cards into another bask
2. Make sure all the answer cards have been collected and placed into the basket or box. First, the bride gives the correct answer to the question. The moderator pulls answer cards individually and reads the answers out loud. Correct answer get a point and silly answers get a laugh!
3. Player with the highest number of correct answers wins the game and a prize! The person with the lowest number of correct answers has to take a shot from each of the players.
The Newlywed Game – Bachelorette Version
A TV show called The Newlywed Game first aired in the 1960’s; multiple versions have been running since then until approximately 2013 and the idea of the game is very simple. Newlywed couples try to guess what their spouse would say in each round – the winning couple used to win cash, prizes or a second honeymoon.
In our 30-minute version of the game, only the bachelorette plays and the goal is to get her drunk! The groom will answer all the questions.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- List of questions for the groom to answer in advance and for the bachelorette to guess during the game
- Print out questions on cards so that the guests can follow along (optional)
Here’s how to play:
1. Give the list of questions to the groom in advance and make sure he has answers for all the questions. Get him to swear to secrecy or else the game will be spoiled!
2. During game play, read each question out loud and have the bachelorette guess what she thinks the groom said. Each right answer scores her a point and each question she gets wrong will cost her a drink!
Very fun and easy game and it involves the groom too! Only two things to keep in mind as your creating this game – the bachelorette might get drunk really fast and avoid asking any questions that are overly embarrassing or super personal.
Bachelorette Bingo
Another easy game where all players already know the rules. The only difference is that you’re yelling “Bride” instead of “Bingo” when you score five across in any direction! Great game for at least 4 players and perfect for larger groups. Play for as little as 30 minutes or for as long as an hour.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Print out some bachelorette bingo cards ahead of time or create your own.
- If you’re creating your own content for the squares and just using a printable template, then gather some fun facts about the bride and groom – some can be unknown and others should be “giveaways”. You can keep everything PG or dare to be more risque as well!
- Bingo dabbers, markers, stamps or stickers for players to mark their squares
Here’s how to play:
1. Each guest will get a random, pre-printed Bingo card
2. Have a host start calling out the fun facts. Make it more personal by having the bachelorette tell a quick story to go along with each fun fact.
3. Five in a row, in any direction, wins! Just be sure to remind all the guests to yell “Bride” instead of “Bingo”!
