THIS IS YOUR LIFE BOOK
Ask everyone who is attending the party to contribute beforehand to making the Hen a This is Your Life book. Compile loads of old photos in a scrapbook and ask each contributor to write a caption and share the funny story or poignant memory behind the inclusion of each photo. It will prove to be a wonderful keepsake for the Hen
MR AND MRS QUIZ
The classic hen party game!! Before the event, ask the groom–to-be 20 or so questions about himself and their relationship. At the Hen party, have everyone ask how well they think the Hen knows her fiancé. Get them to write down how many of her answers will tally with his. You can even take bets! Get everyone to put in a euro and the winner can keep half of the pot. The other half can go into the drinks kitty. Or ask the group to establish a pass rate for the Hen; if she doesn't get the required number of answers right, then she must do a forfeit!
Some sample questions that TheFunFactory.ie team has compiled:
1. Would she rather you went to a strip joint or got arrested on your stag night?
2. Who is her secret 'shouldn't but would' celebrity crush?
3. Who would play you both in a film about your lives?
4. What is "your" song?
5. What is his shoe size?
6. Where in the world would he/ she most like to visit?
7. What super power would he like to have and why?
8. Who would be his/ her fantasy celebrity choice for a threesome?
9. What are your pet names for each other?
10. If you could get rid of one thing from his wardrobe, what would it be?
11. What is his/ her mother's maiden name?
12. What is the wildest place they have ever had sex?
13. What is the one thing she would save from a burning fire?
14. What one thing that he does freaks you out the most?
15. What age was he/ she when he had his first kiss, etc.
16. What was your best date together?
17. What exact words did he say when he asked her to marry him?
18. What did he say was your bra size?
19. What item do you find hard to share with your future husband?
20. What item does he find hard to share with you?
21. What would he/ she like to never have to do again........
a. suffer a hangover?
b. work on a Monday?
c. shave?
22. What is your favourite part of his/ her body?
23. "Once done right" or "three times a night"?
Add some juicy questions and this game will be a big hit. Questions that have yes/no answers, or use numbers, specific days or times are really good. In addition, ask the groom-to-be to guesstimate how many answers that the bride will get right. Compare his guess to her performance. If you are feeling generous, you can give the Hen 1 veto allowing her to pass on a question. However, in exchange for using the veto, she must do a penalty later such an alcoholic shot.
An aternative way of presenting this game is to cut out each question into a little strip. Then roll it up, place it inside a balloon, and blow up the balloon. Throughout the evening you can pop a balloon to reveal a question.
FIND MY MAN
A spin on the scavenger hunt game. On cards, list a variety of different type of men (Baldy Man, Sports Jersey Man, Well Behaved Married Man, Not Well Behaved Married Man, Different Postal Code Man, Bad Ass Moustache Man, Mullet Man, White Socks Man etc.). Deal out the cards, then on the night out they must find real-life men who match the cards they've been dealt. First to find all her matches wins!
THE WEDDING DRESS GAME
This game is another good ice breaker for large groups. Divide the group into small teams and hand them a number of toilet rolls. In an allocated time, tell the groups to use toilet paper to create a “wedding dress” on one of their team members. The Hen decides on the winning design!
SWEET SUCCESS
Bring along some sweet necklaces for all the girls. Only men can bite the sweets off (one sweet per man.) The first girl with an empty string around her neck wins a prize. Alternatively, the Hen may sell the sweets to men. They will still have to bite them off, but they must pay her a euro or buy her a drink - whatever she wants!
A PARTNER FOR THE NIGHT
The ultimate humiliation is handcuffing a blow-up doll to the Hen and forcing her to carry "him" around all night. If you're really feeling creative, you could replace the doll’s face with an enlarged photo of the groom’s face!
TRUTH OR DARE
This is always a good one to play at home and you can continue it when you are out on the town. What happens if somebody refuses to do a dare, or doesn’t do it correctly? Well you need to decide upon the forfeits before you actually start giving the dares out.
Be careful what you dare, she just may do it!
WEDDING CHARADES
This is a spin on the classic game that everyone knows. The only catch is that every movie, song, book etc must be wedding related.
DO YOU KNOW THE HEN?
The Hen makes up a questionnaire of about 20 questions about herself and distributes them to all the guests. When everyone has finished filling in the questionnaire, all the guests read out their answers one by one, and then the bride can correct them! The person with the most correct answers wins. All questionnaires should then be put into a folder for the Hen to keep.

TOILET ROLL & PLUNGER
Objective:
Race to place your toilet plunger handle into the roll of toilet paper with no hands!
Race to place your toilet plunger handle into the roll of toilet paper with no hands!
Players:
4 or more players
4 or more players
Items Needed:
2 toilet plungers, 2 rolls of toilet paper and 2 low cardboard boxes
2 toilet plungers, 2 rolls of toilet paper and 2 low cardboard boxes
Rules:
Divide the group into pairs. Then group the pairs into equal teams. So for example you might have two teams of 4 with each team having two pairs. Partners are at opposite ends of the room, the plunger is placed between the legs of one partner (stick end pointing outward) while the other partner places the toilet paper between their legs.
The object is to place the stick inside the hole of the toilet paper without using any hands, then walk back and drop the toilet roll into your box and go back for another one. Neither player can touch the toilet paper or the plunger (except to place it between their legs). NAUGHTY but VERY FUNNY!
If the player drops the plunger they must go back to their starting point and replace the plunger. A dropped roll of toilet paper may not be picked up except by the paper holder. If a toilet roll falls off the plunger or misses the box it must be left and the plunger person must go back for another roll. After one pair has managed to do it, the next pair must do it. First team to complete the task wins.
The team that successfully collects the most rolls in a fixed time is the winner.
POST-IT NOTE GAME
PRESENTS FOR THE HEN
Get each girl attending the party to bring a gift with her, which symbolises a funny episode or something poignant in her friendship or relationship with the Hen. As each person presents their present to the Hen, they must regale the rest of the party with the story behind the gift.
This game is a terrific ice breaker when the party comprises of people from various sides of the Hen’s life and therefore people don’t each other very well.
ADVICE FOR THE BRIDE
Cut red paper into small heart shapes. Ask each girl in attendance to write "advice for the bride" on each slip of paper. For example, "never go to bed mad" or “always buy beautiful lingerie”. Place completed hearts in a vase and ask the bride to read them out loud. The slips of paper will be a great keepsake for the Hen.
I NEVER...
This is a great game to play when sitting around a table in the bar. The rules for this game are simple: Everyone must admit to something they've never done. For example, the first person starts out with a true statement (“I never lied about my weight” or "I never went out at night without underwear") and anyone who has done this very act has to drink. Hilarity ensues as everyone watches who is taking a drink. You will see some slowly down their drink, and hope you aren't watching! The drunker you get the more risqué the "I never's..:" become!
Be creative and conjure up the most bizarre things you've “never” done. You may learn more about each other than you ever wanted to know!

POST-IT NOTE GAME
This is a great game that involves everyone on the hens night and is also an opportunity to embarass the bride!
You'll need a pad of large post it notes and pens for this game. Give everyone one post it note and ask them to write in one short sentence a memory they have of the bride. Then place all of the post it notes on a hard surface and ask the bride to begin picking them off and reading them one by one.
She then has to guess who has written the note, what it refers to, and tell the story out loud.
Childhood stories, holiday tales and previous boyfriends are all great topics for this one!
