Do you have a close friend, relative, or family member who is getting married? Then it's high time to start planning for the bachelorette party or bachelor party! Here we share our best tips on games, challenges, and activities for a successful and memorable bachelorette party and bachelor party.
When do you have a bachelorette party & bachelor party?
When you plan to organize a bachelorette party or bachelor party for someone who is getting married, you should first and foremost think about when it should take place. Traditionally, it was common to have the bachelorette party and bachelor party the day before the wedding, but nowadays they are usually organized a bit earlier.
Plan a date, preferably a month before the wedding and no closer than two weeks prior. This way, the couple still has time to plan the last details for the big day and won't risk showing up tired or hungover at their own wedding. Also, don't forget to check with the other partner to ensure the date works!
Bachelorette party tips
When planning activities for the bride during the bachelorette party, it is important to remember that she is the one who should be in focus. Therefore, tailor the day according to how and who the bride is as a person and consider which activities the bride would appreciate but that you others can also participate in and laugh at.
Funny bachelorette party activities
At a bachelorette party, the most important thing is that you have fun! Is the girl who is getting married energetic and adventurous? Then paintball or go-karting is a perfect activity that can be done by the whole group and will definitely lead to laughter. If the bride prefers calmer activities, a day at the spa is a perfect activity where you can relax and unwind and maybe laugh at funny conversations. If the future bride has an interest in food and drink, organizing your own wine tasting is a fun activity. There you can all try different types of wines with delightful accompaniments. With us, you will find all wine accessories for a successful wine evening or wine tasting.

3 tips for games for a bachelorette party
A successful bachelorette party often lasts from morning to evening. Therefore, make sure to have a few extra games planned throughout the day or evening to keep the atmosphere lively. Scroll down for our tips on three mood-boosting games for the bachelorette party!
Tips 1. Trivia or quiz
Challenge the future bride with a quiz or a trivia game. Here you can freely choose questions and themes. If the bride is interested in music, a music quiz is fun to put together, or how about challenging the bride with questions about memories from trips or from your friendship? The more personal, the more fun!
Tips 2. The Balloon Game
The Balloon Game is a fun game perfect for the bachelorette party where you get the opportunity to get to know the bride a little better. Everyone writes a question on a note, for example, what is the best thing about your partner? or what is the craziest event in your life? which is then placed in a balloon that you blow up. The bride then gets to pop one balloon at a time and answer the question on the note. If everyone else wants, you can also answer the question. A fun way to get closer to each other!
Tips 3. Prosecco pong
This game is the more luxurious alternative to beer pong or for those who do not like beer. The game is played in the same way as classic beer pong but instead you fill up bubbly glass with prosecco or other sparkling wine. Of course, it can also be made with non-alcoholic alternatives!
Mission bachelorette party
In addition to games and activities, it is common for a bachelorette party to include some tasks the bride should perform during the day to step out of her comfort zone. This can be anything from the bride writing a song and performing it for some strangers or being filmed while dancing with three strangers in a public place.
Another fun task at the bachelorette party is for the bride to draw a portrait of herself and her future husband on a postcard, which is then sent to the couple's home address. You will definitely laugh at this, not least the bride and groom when they receive the postcard in the mail.
Bachelor party - tips on fun tasks
If the future bride has to step outside her comfort zone at her bachelorette party, it is only fair that the groom should be subjected to the same on his bachelor party. Here are three tips for fun tasks for the bachelor party!
Mission 1. Ask about marriage advice in town
Let the groom approach strangers on the street and ask for marriage advice before the upcoming wedding. Who knows? Maybe it's them who will make the couple live happily ever after.
Mission 2. Pretend to be a street musician and earn money
Say to the groom that he should pretend to be a street musician and perform music. When he has earned his first crown, he has succeeded in the mission.
Mission 3. Take selfies in different places
The third task at the bachelor party is for the man who is getting married to take selfies in different places with different objects in the picture. For example, it could be taking a picture when he is standing in a fountain, when he is sitting in a police car, or when he is signing an autograph. Let the imagination run wild and we can guarantee that it will result in laughter.
