A great bachelorette party gives the bride a night she loves, with friends who feel included. The easiest way to get there is to plan for different comfort levels: some guests want silly and sweet, some want bold. Here's how to pick games, set the scene and choose gifts, using items from our Bachelorette & Party collection.
Planning it as the maid of honor? Our free Bachelorette Game Night Planner is a printable PDF with the questions to ask the bride, a plan for the night in four moments, a timeline and a favor-bag checklist. No sign-up needed.
First, ask the bride (quietly)
Before buying anything, the maid of honor should check three things:
- How spicy does the bride want the night to be?
- Will it be at home, at a rental or out on the town?
- Will everyone attending be 21 or older? If not, keep the drinking games off the table.
Games by comfort level
Easygoing icebreakers (good for mixed groups)
- Girls Night Out Do or Dare Dice Game: two large 12-sided dice that decide what the crew does next. The maker designed it for bachelorettes and girls' nights out.
- Extreme Personal Questions Party Game: players ask the group personal questions, two volunteers answer, and everyone votes for the favorite answer. First to five cards wins. A follow-up set, More Extreme Personal Questions, plays alone or alongside it.
Drinking games (21+ only, please drink responsibly)
- Drink If… Ladies Night: 200 cards with 1,200 statements written for a ladies'-night crowd. Anyone who has done it takes a drink.
- Boozy Bingo Scratch-Off: 8 scratch-off bingo cards revealing a drink, dare or truth. Five in a row wins.
- Bachelorette's Bar Challenge: made for a night out. The bride has two hours to collect five shot cards by completing playful challenges at the bar.
- Tipsy Dipsy Dice (2–8 players), Drinking Tabs (50 pull tabs, easy to pass around or tuck into favor bags) and the Smash Party tower game (a block tower with printed dares).
Never pressure anyone to drink, plan rides home, and never drink and drive.
Bold and cheeky (for groups who want to turn it up)
- Do You Dare? 65 Sex Games for Couples: a paperback the publisher pitches as a cheeky gift for the bride-to-be. Something for her to take home, not to play at the party.
Easy decor that photographs well
- Caution tape: the Bachelorette Party Caution Tape is a 100 ft pink-and-black roll for doorways, tables and the bride's chair. For an LGBTQ+ celebration, there's the rainbow Engaygement Caution Tape.
- Shot glasses (21+): a Rainbow Shot Glass Set or the lab-style Chemistry Shot Glass Set with measurement marks. The rainbow glasses can double as keepsake favors.
- Face bling for the bride: the Le Désir Bliss Crowned Face Bling Sticker is a crown-shaped, self-adhesive gem sticker for the brow line.
Favor-bag fillers the crew will actually use
Small, light and fun:
- Team Bride Vinyl Stickers: made for water bottles, phone cases and laptops
- In My Wifey Era Stickers
- Wifey Era Heart Sunglasses Stickers: 3 × 3 in, glossy, indoor use
- Paradice: a small dice game sized for a favor bag
Gift ideas for the bride-to-be
-
Something for date nights after the wedding:
- Romantic Tabs: 50 pull tabs with activities for two
- Love to Love Chasing Memories: a scratch-off bucket list of 48 couple adventures
- Spice It Up: three 50-card decks from mild to spicy, compact enough for a honeymoon bag
- A pampering set: the Dame Massage Oil Candle or the Kama Sutra Massage Tranquility Kit, five 2 oz massage oils in a reusable zippered case.

A simple planning timeline
- 4–6 weeks out: confirm the vibe, the guest list and the ages.
- 2–3 weeks out: order games, decor and favors. Allow for standard shipping, and remember shipping is free on orders of $99+ after discounts. Splitting one group order can make that threshold easy to reach.
- The week of: pack the favor bags and print the game rules.
- On the night: start with an icebreaker, keep drinking games optional and 21+, and take the photos early.
