I’m often told that some people just don’t want to make too much fuss when it comes to their hen party, with the all important day on the horizon, sometimes there just isn’t the time to organise a big night on top of all the other things that need to be sorted out and would prefer to do something a little more low key.
Organising a simple dinner party is a great way to get your friends together to celebrate your last night of freedom. Get in some good wine and create a menu that suits your tastes and your schedule. You may want to put something sophisticated together, and create a fine dining experience in the comfort of your own home, or you could keep it simple, create simple pasta dishes or you could even get something from your favourite takeaway if you don’t have the time to cook for large groups.
Decorate the table and give everyone personalised table placements to make things a little more special, and if you want, you could even have a theme – Hollywood glamour or black tie would be perfect for a refined evening spent in the company of the ones you love.
Make sure you have good background music too, as this will help to set the mood. You may want to make a playlist or perhaps you have a favourite compilation CD but this will help to alleviate any awkward silences.
As for entertainment, again, this depends on your taste, you may be content just to sit around the table with good drinks and decent conversation but you may want to do something a little different. Murder mysteries are always good fun, simple to organise and can be played throughout the course of the evening. If you find you want something a little more raucous, there are plenty of drinking games you can indulge in.

Mr & Mrs is a classic game and one that’s been around for decades. Popularised by the TV show in the 1960’s, Mr & Mrs makes for a great hen party game!
Before the night, ask the husband to be a set of about 20 questions – try and vary them as much as possible and try and sneak in a couple of naughty ones too 
On the night, when everyone is gathered around, ask each member of the party to guess how many questions they think the hen will get right and get them to place their bets, everyone puts in a couple of pounds and the winner can keep up to half the pot (the rest should go towards buying the group’s drinks for the rest of the evening)
You can vary this game quite a bit too, make her do a forfeit or take a shot for every question she gets wrong or spread the questions out throughout the course of the evening for those moments things might settle down a little too much.
Here’s some example questions to get you started:
- How old was he when he lost her virginity/had his first kiss?
- How did he chat her up when they first met?
- What is his most annoying habit?
- If you’re going out on the town will your wife be more likely to:
- Stay in by herself and watch the soaps
- Go out drinking with her girlfriends
- Go to her mum’s.
- What, according to him, is your most annoying habit?
Obviously, you can pick your questions depending on your audience and the kind of things you want to find out. This can be as rude or as civil as you like, so go nuts, and have fun!

Hen party dares don’t have to be all about drinking. If you’re downing three shots in a row every time as a forfeit the night could end up being pretty short. Dares should be safe to do but they should still push the player out of their comfort zone and hopefully be pretty funny to watch too 
Come up with a list of ideas before you head out, that way you don’t have to stop to think about it later, it’ll be well worth the time I promise. Think about what people in the group will be comfortable doing but try not to make it too boring for those who’re a little more adventurous.
Select the dares at random not by committee, this takes time and people are more likely to refuse, picking them out of a hat keeps it fair.
Keep it safe! Don’t attempt anything that could cause injury to the player or others around them.
Keep it simple! The last thing you want is to do is try explaining a dare to your slightly-worse-for-wear group of friends later on in the evening.
Some typical dares for a hen night include:
- Get five guys to give you their numbers
- Get someone to order a Blowjob for you at the bar
- Dance really badly next to someone for a whole song
- Remove an item of underwear without going to the bathroom
- Order a round of drinks in a foreign accent (without laughing)

Scavenger hunts are probably the number one most popular game played on a hen night. They involve setting a list of tasks for the soon to be bride and/or members of the hen party to complete. Tasks can be things they must do or items they must find during the night out.
These could be anything from getting a stranger to give you their underwear to getting as many people as possible to sign their shirt. Each of the challenges must be completed or else they must face the consequences. Rewards or forfeits can be handed out for each successful completion or failure of a task.
You can play the game simply with a pen and paper or you can use a t-shirt with the tasks listed on the front or back. There are pre-made shirts available or you can create your own.
To create your own first decide on your tasks. Be realistic, there’s only so much time in a night, so pick say ten items or one item per party member, provided there isn’t a hundred people coming of course. Create a check list with a box so each item can be ticked off, watch out for cheating!
If you’ve done any great dares or forfeits at a party or hen night, feel free to share them in the comments below!

If you’re organising a hen party don’t forget to include at least one party game that the whole group can play. If you’re stuck for party game ideas for your hen night then read this list of our top 5 favourite party games for hen nights.
- The Scavenger Hunt Game
A very popular game at hen night parties. At the beginning of the night each guest should write down on a piece of paper a task they would like the Bride to complete. See how many she can manage before the end of the night.
- The T-Shirt Name Game
This game requires a plain white t-shirt for the bride-to-be. Using a marker take turns to write down men’s names, front and back. During the course of the night the bride must get people to search for their name and cross it off. You can award prizes for each successful name found or perhaps forfeits for each name not found by the end of the night!
- The Who Did What Game
A revealing game and chance for the Bride to have some revenge for all the embarrassment so far. Each person at the hen party should write down a funny experience they’ve had with dating. Give all the pieces of paper to the Bride so she can read them out and then try to guess whose experience is whose.
- The Mr and Mrs Game
Prepare a list of 20 questions and get the groom to answer them. Questions can be as simple or as random as you like. Some example questions are, “His favourite colour”, “His most treasured possession”, “His biggest childhood hero”. Ask each of the guests how many questions they think she’ll get right and see who came closest by the end of the night.
- The Story Time Game
This is a game you may have played when you were young. You only need a pen and paper. Have the hen party each take a turn to write a part of a story, one sentence will do. Then after each turn fold the paper over so that the next player cannot see what has already been written. The last player in the game can then unfold the paper and read the story out aloud. Give each player a tip about what to write about to give the story some structure.
