For Both Parties: Icebreakers & Group Games
These games work well for mixed groups, co-ed parties, or chill evenings in.
1. Who Knows the Bride/Groom Best?
A classic trivia game based on the guest of honour.
Tone tip: Keep it sweet, funny, or lightly embarrassing depending on your group.
2. Never Have I Ever
Great for learning more about each other… maybe more than you wanted to.
Flexible: Works for tame nights or wilder crowds.
3. Most Likely To…
Guests vote on who’s most likely to “elope in Vegas” or “cry during vows.”
Result: Laughter, bonding, and occasional friendly roasting.
4. Would You Rather? (Wedding Edition)
Silly prompts like:
“Plan a wedding in one week or elope in secret?”
“Give a speech or do a choreographed dance?”
5. Scavenger Hunt (City or House Rules)
Create a list of challenges, selfies, or dares to complete throughout the night.
Adaptable: Works in bars, Airbnb rentals, or private properties.

Bachelorette Party Game Ideas
1. Pass the Bouquet
Like hot potato, but with dares hidden in the petals.
How it works: When the music stops, the person holding the bouquet completes the challenge.

Write questions and challenges on the blocks.
Mix it up: Sweet, spicy, and sentimental prompts.
3. Ring Hunt
Hide plastic rings around the venue.
Winner: Whoever collects the most wins a small prize.
4. Name That Ex
Guests match (fake or real) ex stories to the bride.
Caution: Only if it’s all in good fun and everyone is comfortable.
5. Lipstick Messages
Guests leave notes on mirrors using lipstick.
Result: Hilarious and heartfelt morning-after discoveries.
Bachelor Party Game Ideas
1. Roast the Groom
Each guest shares a roast or memory—keep it light-hearted, not mean-spirited.
2. Drinking Games with a Twist
Play Kings, Flip Cup, or Beer Pong—groom edition.
Example: Every time the groom mentions the bride, everyone drinks.
3. Poker with Penalties
Losers complete a dare or answer a revealing question.
4. Escape Room Challenge
For activity-based parties, escape rooms are great for team bonding and memorable chaos.
5. Bar Crawl Bingo
Custom bingo cards with tasks like:
“Buy a stranger a shot”
“Get someone to sing karaoke”
“Trade hats with another guest”
Tips for Success
- Know your crowd. Some groups are wild; others prefer low-key games.
- Keep it optional. No one should feel pressured to participate.
- Assign a host. Someone should keep things moving and explain the rules.
- Stay safe. If drinking is involved, arrange transportation or a backup plan.
