Try Using Trivia Games at Your Bachelorette Party To Make It Exciting
Whether your party has a risqué tone to it, or is more on the dignified side, you need to keep in mind that not all your guests will know each other.You can help your guests get to know each other and feel more relaxed by playing trivia games based on the bride, or on the couple, since that is the one thing they will all likely have in common.This article has ideas to help you prepare everything, from organizing the games, the kind of questions you can ask, and what you can give as prizes.
Bridal/Couple Trivia
Most of the time, not all your guests will arrive at the same time – so create a simple-to-answer quiz (either short-answer or multiple-choice) that you can hand to each invitee as they walk in.You can ask questions about the bride (Where did Anne grow up? What is Anne’s favorite movie?Who took Anne to prom?), or about the couple (Where did James take Anne on their first date?Who asked who to go on the first date? ). You may collect them at some point after everyone is present and then announce the winner, or (for a more entertaining experience), have everyone “grade” someone else’s quiz and then figure out the winner.
How Well Do You Know Your Fiancée
You may also get together with the bride’s fiancée previous to the event, having him answer questions that she may also know the answers to.Later in the party, ask the bride to sit in the center of the room; you ask her the same questions you asked her fiancee and compare answers.Not only will the bride get the chance to tell the stories behind her answers – especially if they differ from his – she may get to hear some romantic things she didn’t know. Possible questions might include: Which of James’s brothers does he feel closer to?What aspect of your personality used to annoy James, but he likes now?
What Questions Should I Ask
Your invitees and the tone of the event itself should be foremost in your mind.A bachelorette party is simply not the same as a bridal shower. Save the risqué (overly sexual or personal) questions for the bride’s more intimate friends.To avoid subjecting your friend to unnecessary discomfort, only ask questions you would feel comfortable having your own mother-in-law know the answer to.Your goal should be to make sure all your guests are having fun – neither thinking “this is way more than I needed to know” nor “this is so G-rated I feel like I’m in a Disney movie”.

Cool Prizes
Remember, the theme of your party and the preferences of your guests should be considered when choosing prizes.Any of these options can be purchased without breaking your budget.A sedate bridal shower may have as prizes a silky scarf or perfumed bath salts, which are romantic without being vulgar.On the other hand, if the party is more on the provocative side, your prizes can match – perhaps thongs or massage oil.
It just takes a little time and organization to create games that are both inexpensive and fun for all your guests.
