Games and entertainment ideas for a hen’s night

A hen’s night is thrown for a bride- to- be, to celebrate the last night out as a single woman. If you are organizing a hen’s night, here are some games and entertainment ideas to make your party an unforgettable experience:

Games- Here are some games you can arrange:

  • Pin the hose on the fireman- This is a game that will bring in lots of fun and naughtiness. Instead of pinning the tail to the donkey (as you played in childhood), this game comes with an adult twist where you will be pinning the hose to the fireman (hope you got the adult bit).The fireman can be a cartoon drawing or a saucy photo.
  • The purse game- Each guest will take out 3 unusual items from their purse (or 1 if the number of guests is large) and put them in a bag. Then the bride will take out each item one by one and guess whose it is. You can arrange prizes for right answers and give a shot of alcohol for wrong answers. The latter is optional.
  • Post- in- note game- This game can bring out the emotional side of your friendship and create endearing memories. Give each hen a pen and a post- it- note on which she will write something funny or endearing about the bride. It can be some funny incident, tales of childhood, or just her feelings towards the bride. The notes will then be displayed and the bride has to guess who has written what. The bride can keep notes as a keepsake.
  • Picture the future- Divide the hens into groups of 3 or 4 and ask them to sift through magazines and use pictures to create a collage that will tell the story of the couple’s future, like their honeymoon, their first home, their children, or how they will look like when they grow old. The funny collages can evoke hilarious laughter.
  • Humiliating question game- Ask every hen to prepare naughty and embarrassing questions for the bride. Ask her the questions throughout the night until she’s done with all. Don’t forget the prize for her as a reward for tolerating all the humiliation.
  • Compatibility game- Ask the groom some sets of questions about the bride and their relationships, few days prior to the party. At the night of the party, ask the bride the same questions and cross- check her answers. The game can’t give you all the fun and entertainment needed for a hen’s party. To have some real and wild fun, call in male strippers. They often form the winning formula of hen’s nights. But inform all your guests about it beforehand so that if anyone is uncomfortable with it can leave before the performance begins. Keep a fixed time allotted for their performance, preferably at the end.

If you are an inhabitant of Brisbane and want to hire male strippers for your hen’s night, don’t worry. There are many agencies that provide male strippers to hen’s nights in Brisbane

Tips to organize a Bachelor’s party


A bachelor’s party is meant to be fun, wild, and extravagant. If you are organizing a bachelor’s party, here are some tips that you might find helpful:

  • Consider the invitee- Make a list of your invitee. Party ideas will depend on the people you are inviting. After you make your list, you can share your party ideas with them and also ask for theirs.
  • The venue- The venue is a very important factor to decide while planning a bachelor’s party. Decide where you want to throw the party. It can be your own house, preferably if the number of invitees is small and if your house has a spacious lawn or backyard where you can make arrangements for food. You can also make a small bonfire and play music in the background. If your invitee list is huge, consider renting a public restaurant, beach house, pub, or farm house.
  • Food - Contact a good and efficient catering service in your locality. Order for delicious mouth- watering food items. Here are some options for you:
    • Pizza- order pizzas with different toppings. Also order garlic bread, french fries, caesar salad, and cheese sticks as side dish.
    • Barbecued food- if you are throwing the part at your own house, consider having a barbecue in the backyard. The aroma of kebabs and steaks will add to the party atmosphere. Examples of barbecued food are hamburgers, hot dogs, fish, sausages, etc. You can include side dish like smashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, potato salad, beans, and pasta salad.
    • Submarine sandwich- you can make a jumbo submarine sandwich at home or order it from a shop.
    • Finger foods- arrange for delicious finger foods which you (and your guests) can munch all the time while being engaged in other activities. Finger food includes cheese balls, corn dogs, spring rolls, chicken wings, jalapeno poppers, potato chips, etc.
  • Games- Sports are a great way to gang together and enjoy. Arrange for games like baseball, volleyball, tennis, badminton, football or paint ball. If your friends are not very athletic and don’t like playing games, you can get tickets for a local sporting event.
  • Entertainment- In a bachelor’s party, guests look for good (sometimes wild) entertainment. Here are some options:
    • Consider hiring a live band. But before hiring, consider the size of your venue- whether it can accommodate a band. If the party is at your house, seek permission from your neighbors (whether they are OK with the noise).
    • If you are a lover of soft music, you can arrange for background musicians who will play guitar (and other instruments) during the party.
    • Consider a comedian who will make you burst in laughter. But don’t make this your only entertainment (It’s a bachelor’s party after all).
    • Party strippers form the winning formula of a bachelor’s party. Arrange for party strippers and allot a specific time for their performance. Inform the guests beforehand so that those who are not very comfortable can leave before the performance starts.
    If you reside in Brisbane and are planning to hire party strippers for a bachelor’s party (that you are organizing), but are confused about how to book them, you need not worry. There are many agencies that provide party strippers in Brisbane. You can see photos of strippers and choose those you want for your party.

Tips to organize a good hen party



Hen party can be real fun and exciting if you include some innovative ideas and unique activities in it. Let us take a look at some of the creative ideas that can be implemented to make a hen party at Brisbane truly memorable and entertaining.
Design a T-shirt – You can design a T-shirt for the bride with some funny picture(s) and make her wear it throughout the party. You can also put childhood photos of the groom on the T-shirt. Alternatively, you also have the option of printing something nice on the T-shirt and get it signed by everyone in the party to present it as a souvenir for the to-be-bride. You can even get the T-shirt framed afterwards to keep alive the exciting memories.
Dress in toilet paper – Ask all your friends and invitees to come in a dress made out of toilet paper. Your own dress has to be designed in a really innovative fashion. The one who designs the best and appears the most attractive will get a prize.
Pass the parcel: Play “pass the parcel” game, just the way you used to play it during your childhood. However, you have to make it more funny and spicy by giving out some naughty prizes and throwing up a few risque challenges. You can also ask the hen to perform some tricky tasks like kissing a stranger, giving a lap dance or singing in the chorus to “Lady Marmalade.”
Truth or dare – This is one of the most apt games to embarrass the hen. You should ideally compile a list of naughty questions that you can ask the bride throughout the night. The questions need to have the right mix of fun and uniqueness. Give her a prize at the end as a reward for all her hard work and her sporting spirit.
Clubbing – Hit any happening club with the bride to be and all of your best buddies to enjoy the bride-to-be’s final night of single life. You can also plan on going to a nice restaurant or a bar to enjoy some good food and a glass of red wine or champagne.
Tripping - Going out for a long drive is also an enjoyable idea. Play some loud and enjoyable music in the car and have fun among yourselves. Get a blank CD, burn some of the favorite songs of the bride-to-be and play them during your journey. If required, you can also stop at a cafe or ice cream parlor on the way.
Home BBQ - If you have a backyard and barbeque grill, you can also conduct BBQ at a hen party. This is particularly a great idea for those who are fond of steak and grilled meat.
Beach party - Beach hen party is quite popular in Brisbane. Going to the beach with friends, relaxing, sunbathing and drinking fresh cocktails can be an ideal way to enjoy. This is fun as well as refreshing after vibrant activities or heavy partying.
Strip dancing – Arranging for a strip show is also a popular way to enjoy during a hen party. Hens night stripper Brisbane is quite common. Girls call the male strippers at the venue of the party and enjoy the strip show. The whole idea behind this is to do something which has never been done before, so that the uniqueness of the party can be retained.
