Fun hen party games

Hi Everyone,

Looking for a few suggestions for some fun hen games to sort of break the ice and relax all the hens before heading out for dinner as not everyone knows each other.

Not looking for anything too fancy or complicated, just a bit of craic.

Ive checked websites but all the suggestions have been quite American if you get me!

Any ideas/suggestions would be great!

When organising games last year at a hen, two stood out as getting everyone to relax and have a bit of fun and both don't need too much prep work.
1. Who am I? Grab some post-it notes and and the person to your left will write the name of a person / character for you to stick to your forehead so that everyone has a post-it on their forehead and you go around in a circle to guess. You can only ask yes or no type questions. If you get a "no" response, we had a cocktail mixture set up and you had to take a shot of it - didnt want to start doing shots that early in the evening...
the last person standing has to do a forefeit later in the evening.

2. Relay race - we did this on a night when we werent out for dinner and were just in the apartment having drinks before we went out.
You organise everyone into two or more relay teams. Props you will need are;
Big old granny knickers - one for each team
a big bra - one for each team
Balloons - one for each person
a packet of chewits - enough for each person to have one
rubber gloves - a pair for each team

Each team stands in a line and the challenge is that each team must complete the following tasks, the next person in line cannot start until the person in front of them has completed their tasks.
1. Put on rubber gloves
2. Put on underwear (that is why you get biggish underwear)
3.Unwrap the chewitt and eat it
4. blow up the balloon, tie it and then burst it
5. take off the underwear
6. take off the gloves and pass the undewear and gloves to the next person.

This was an excellent game to mix up the crowd etc.

Hope this helps!

ha ha... those sound like wonderful and fun entertainment ideas!

We had "willy" races, it's basically a tacky plastic wind-up walking willy and we had a few of them lined up and race across the floor. It was really funny..
The usual hen questions, where you get a set of questions you ask the groom in secret and then ask the bride at the hen, if she gets it wrong she has to do a penalty, such as take a drink from her glass (e.g. cocktail).
Also one of the B&B's we stayed at as a group had a karaoke machine and you get groups of girls to get up and sing. It was good fun and everyone even the shy ones got up! Didn't matter if you were good, once you were in a group it took some of the fear away. Fun songs appropriate to the occasion such as "Like a Virgin" or "Single Ladies", and lots of silly songs from our younger days like "Saturday Night", "Wannabe"....

We've had some fun games at hens over the past few years but the one that seems to get played at everyone's hen is the toiletpaper bridal gown.

Everyone is divided into teams of 3 or 4, given a few rolls of toilet paper and one person is 'the bride'. Each team has to make a wedding dress and the actual bride has to judge the best dress. It's cheap, quick and quite fun.

There was another game that I really enjoyed but it takes bit of prep.
Pin the Paraphernalia on the Bridezilla.
The maid of honour got a picture of godzilla attacking a chapel and all the hens were given either a boquet, a tiara, a veil, a garter to pin on it. It generated a ridiculous amount of giggles.

This is the version I thought was the usual one alright. The girls I went with decided to dress me up instead. I was covered in toilet paper, tin foil and lots of cello-tape for a good couple of hours...
