Bachelorette Party Games: 8 Fun Ideas
Forget awkward small talk and forced karaoke — if you want a bachelorette party that actually slaps, you need games. The kind that sparks chaos (in the best way), fuels inside jokes for years, and maybe even leads to some mildly questionable decisions. That’s where we come in.
At FUNBOY, we’re all about making sure your pre-wedding bash is packed with moments that deserve their own highlight reel. We’re talking about games that get the whole crew hyped, keep the drinks flowing, and guarantee the bride has her main character moment.
So, if you’re ready to ditch the boring stuff and turn this party into theparty — keep reading.
Why Play Games at a Bachelorette Party Anyway?
We get it — between planning the perfect outfits, stocking up on snacks, and making sure the playlist is nothing but bangers, do you really need games? Short answer: absolutely.
Games aren’t just about passing the time between cocktails — they’re what turn a fun night out into a legendary weekend. They break the ice, spark the kind of laughter that makes your face hurt, and create those “remember when?” moments that’ll still be brought up at the baby shower.
Plus, let’s be honest: not everyone’s going to be ready to hit the dance floor right away. Games keep the energy up, the drinks flowing, and the awkward silences non-existent. In other words, they’re the secret sauce to an unforgettable bachelorette bash.
What Are Some Must-Try Bachelorette Party Games?
Now that you’re totally on board with making this party spectacular, let’s talk games. Whether you’re keeping things chill or going full send on the mayhem, these must-try ideas are guaranteed to bring the laughs, spark some wild memories, and keep everyone hyped all night long.
1. Truth or Drink: Bachelorette Edition
Think truth or dare but with way fewer dares and way more shots. Create a list of spicy, hilarious, or downright awkward questions tailored to the bride and her crew (for example: “Who was your weirdest crush in high school?” or “What’s the wildest thing you’ve done after midnight?”).
If someone doesn’t want to answer? They drink. Simple, brutal, and guaranteed to lead to some serious bonding — or at least some blurry confessions no one will ever live down.
Pro tip: Add some custom bachelorette-themed shot glasses for that extra level of fun.
2. Ring Hunt
Who doesn’t love a little scavenger hunt with a twist? Hide plastic rings around your Airbnb, hotel, or venue before the party starts. The person who finds the most by the end of the night wins a prize (or just the satisfaction of being that competitive friend).
Want to level up? Hide some harder-to-find rings worth bonus points. Just don’t be surprised when your entire party suddenly turns into a chaotic, ring-collecting frenzy.
FUNBOY Tip: If you’re by a pool, toss some rings into the water and add floats from our Tying the Knot Bundle for extra style points.
3. Bachelorette Bingo
This isn’t your grandma’s bingo night — unless your grandma’s wild, in which case, invite her. Create bingo cards with things like:
- “Bride mentions the wedding date”
- “Someone loses their phone”
- “Shots before 5 p.m.”
- “Someone sings a love ballad unprompted”
The first person to complete a row wins a prize, and the rest? Well, they win the joy of knowing the shenanigans are right on track.
4. Who Knows the Bride Best?
This is where the real friendships are tested. Prepare a list of questions about the bride — favorite movie, most embarrassing moment, dream honeymoon destination, the name of her first pet (the usual deep cuts).
Everyone writes down their answers, and the bride reveals the correct ones. Whoever gets the most correct wins bragging rights and maybe a fun little prize. Whoever knows the least? Let’s just say…shotski time.
Speaking of which: Our inflatable ShotSki® is the ultimate way to make those penalties worth it.
5. Drink If… (The Bachelorette Edition)
It’s simple. It’s savage. It’s the drinking game that will test everyone’s limits. The rules? Someone reads a statement like:
- “Drink if you’ve ever ghosted someone.”
- “Drink if you’re wearing pink right now.”
- “Drink if you were almost late to the wedding RSVP.”
If it applies to you, take a sip. Want to crank it up a notch? Make the bride drink double for extra hilarity (because, well, it’s her party). Just don’t forget the water breaks — you’ll need them.
6. Pin the Kiss on the Bachelor
A grown-up, slightly chaotic take on Pin the Tail on the Donkey. Get a life-sized poster of the bride’s celeb crush or fiancé (you know, whatever’s funnier), and blindfold each guest while they try to stick a lipstick mark as close to the lips as possible.
Whoever nails it gets to assign a dare or hand out drinks. Bonus points for using ridiculous lipstick colors — neon green smooches, anyone?
7. Float & Sip Challenge
If you’ve got a pool party on the agenda (which, let’s be real, you should), this game’s a must. Everyone grabs a float — think swans, unicorns, or the Electric Love Bundle for a splash of luxury — and a drink of choice.
The goal? Stay balanced on the float while finishing your drink without falling in. The last one dry wins, while the rest take a dive (or a penalty drink). It’s like Survivor but way cuter and significantly more hydrated (sort of).
8. The Bachelorette Roast
Time to lovingly drag the bride — because what’s a bachelorette without some good-natured roasting? Everyone writes down their funniest memories, inside jokes, or “remember when” stories about the bride.
Take turns sharing them out loud, but keep it friendly — this isn’t a comedy roast, just chaotic bestie fun. If someone gets a little too savage, hand them a FUNBOY float as a peace offering (or a shot — your call)
How Can You Elevate Your Bachelorette Party Games?
Games are just one slice of the bachelorette party pie, but they're a slice that can transform a good gathering into a legendary bash. The key? It’s all about playing smarter, not harder. From setting the mood to keeping everyone hyped, these tips will make sure every game hits just right.
Know Your Crowd
Not every group is down for a savage roast or endless drinking games — and that’s totally fine. Tailor the games to the bride and her crew.
Got a wild group? Go all-in on the madness. A chill, more low-key mood? Stick to games that spark conversation, like “Who Knows the Bride Best?” or fun trivia challenges. The goal? Make sure everyone feels included (and nobody’s forced into doing something they’ll regret).
Don’t Overload the Schedule
There’s a fine line between “fun-packed weekend” and “we need a vacation after this vacation.” Don’t cram every minute with activities. Pick aa few solid games throughout the night, and leave plenty of room for spontaneous antics, dance breaks, or lounging on floats (might we suggest our Love Story Bundle for peak R&R?).
Create Game Zones
Got a house, an Airbnb, or a poolside venue? Set up different “zones” for each game. A cozy spot for trivia, a party corner for drinking games, and a pool area for float-friendly challenges. This keeps the flow natural and avoids that awkward “What’s next?” vibe.
Have Prizes (Even if They’re Silly)
People will go harder for a prize — especially if it’s ridiculous. Think custom sashes, mini bottles of champagne, or even a crown for the winner of each game. You’d be surprised how competitive things can get when bragging rights (and a tiara) are on the line.
Make It Instagram-Worthy
This party isn’t just for the memories — it’s for the mems. Set up cute backdrops for photo-friendly games, use fun props, and add floats from the Final Rodeo Bundle to give your pool shots that extra pop. Extra credit for a DIY photo booth with props tied to your theme.
Keep Backup Games Ready
Some games might flop — and that’s okay. Have a few easy backup options on deck, like ‘Drink If… or Bachelorette Bingo.’ That way, if the energy starts dipping, you can bring it right back up without skipping a beat.
Have Fun (No, Really)
This sounds obvious, but sometimes the pressure of planning can suck the fun out of things. Let loose, embrace the chaos, and remember — this isn’t a formal event. It’s a party for your bestie. If something doesn’t go according to plan? Laugh it off and pour another round.
The Final Round
And there you have it — eight bachelorette party games designed to turn any night from “fun” to “we’ll be talking about this for years.” Whether it’s chaotic drinking challenges, poolside antics, or brutally honest roasts, the goal is simple: make sure the bride has the time of her life (and maybe a few hilarious regrets).
Need to level things up even more? FUNBOY’s got your back with all the party-perfect inflatables and extras you need to keep the fun going. So, go big, get wild, and let the good times float on — because an unforgettable bachelorette bash deserves nothing less.
