The overarching success of every hens party is incredibly influenced by the quality of
hens party games that you played on the night. So often you hear of girls whining about just how inane the activities were, or even worse, how dull.
The main answer to avoiding this response and developing a real high is to begin by matching the hens party games with the designated theme. By doing this you will guarantee that the activities fit together, that they run well with the other elements of the party and the girls will understand what to expect. For example, a couples questions game will just not make sense in a packed club as the girls will be unable to hear what is taking place and will be very likely to be put off by the other exciting activities around them.
The next thing to consider is at what time you will begin the games? Will they be played at the start of the party and work as ice-breakers for the girls, or will the games be played after some drinks when inhibitions may have dropped away a bit further. Providing you choose a well thought out time for the correct activity even the silliest of games will turn into the girls favourite quite rapidly. This is definitely true of drinking games as they have been known cause the night to end rather early if a few of the party goers get too excited too quickly.
The third point to hone in on is where. If you are organising your hens party in someone’s home then you should have quite a wide scope to engage in more personal and courageous games as the other guests will be more comfortable in disclosing secrets. Your home can also be conducive to games that take set up and extras. On the flip, a bar or nightclub will need you to find activities that necessitate less preparation and can be started without the requirement of even tables and chairs. The bar will also offer a greater atmosphere and allow you to to get others enmeshed in the endeavours. So ensure you opt for games that suit your location. Remember, Pin the ’tail’ on the man could be an excellent game for the house but not so apt for the upmarket restaurant. You might think that sounds inane, but believe me it happens!
The fourth point is to opt for games that go hand in hand with your audience, you will find that one hens party will jump to play games entailing whipped cream and a half dressed stripper, while others will find this completely distressing. So make sure you know know early on who is attending and you can set the tone to match.
That directs us to one final task – researching the ending list of
hens party games to play! There are a plethora of sites out there providing games available for play, some truly great and others quite honestly awful. But the great thing about listening the guidelines above is that even a lame game will work when used at the correct moment, situation and venue. This is is owing to what the guests are thinking they will see. If you organise a ritzy event and you try a whacky party idea then it’s likely that the guests will be shocked and deem it as a mite over the top and not get involved, and the same is true in the reverse situation. However hold a Mad Hatters Tea Party and play some silly out of control game and your hens will adore! Strange but true.
