Hello my fabulous NEY ladies! As it turns out, my favorite part of pre-wedding party planning is coming up with the games. My BFF LOVED the games that we played at her shower, so now I want to spice things up for her b-party
I was thinking that, since you are all clever and creative, you might be able to help be add on to some of these ideas or tweak what I already have. This is what I came up with so far - I need more picture ideas and at least 4 more "friend titles".
Thanks ladies
1) Picture Scavenger Hunt – For the Bachelorette that loves to takes pictures and doesn’t like the evening to get too risqué, this game is the perfect solution. As you paint the town red, try to get a picture with each of the following items/people. It will make a great addition to your Bachelorette page in your scrapbook!
Get a picture with…
a. A bartender
b. A stranger who bought you a drink
c. Another bachelorette
d. A stranger wearing pink
e. A Boston landmark
f. Santa Claus - will accept a reindeer or an elf in his place (since the b-party is December 3rd, I thought this was fitting)
g. A person drunker than you
2) Name That Friend – Every girl has friends that fulfill certain roles in her life. At her Bachelorette party, she needs them more than ever! Let your friends know how much you appreciate the roles they play in your life by dubbing them with these honorable Bachelorette titles.
a. The Wing-Man - This party-goer helped you work up the nerve to talk to that cute guy/girl across the bar when you were single, helped you score those free drinks when you went out the town, and they probably even hooked you up with your future spouse! Now you need them to be your right-hand man in all things scavenger hunt. Since this person does not know the meaning of the word “shy”, they can walk up to just about anyone and ask them for what you need. The role of Wing-Man should go to that friend willing to go the extra mile for you.
b. The Kleenex Dispenser - Everyone knows that sometimes, booze = heightened emotion. While we hope this does not become the case, there is always the chance that our Bride may spring a leak at some point in the night. In the event of drunken waterworks, it is necessary to designate a friend to hand her tissues and offer a shoulder to cry on. This title should go to a friend that has always been a great comfort to you in times of need.
c. The Dive-Bomber - While it is perfectly natural to cut a rug with your ladies and even partake in some fun flirty games, you do not ACTUALLY want to fall prey to the admirations of strangers. This is where your Dive-Bomber comes in. A stranger buying you a drink or taking a picture with you is just fine, but when they start to lean in close and ask for your number, you need this trusted friend to swoop in guns a blazing. Give this gutsy title to your friend with the biggest….ahem….cajones.
d. The Decoy - Any good friend knows that the key to making a night all about her favorite lady is to keep her looking good. It is easy enough to give fashion help and make-up advice before setting out on the town, but the real loyalty comes later in the night when Miss Bachelorette is slurring her words and stumbling into bar stools. What she really needs then is the friend so drunk that it makes her look positively restrained by comparison. The honorable mention of Decoy should be given to the friend who will sacrifice her own sobriety and pride to keep you looking good.
e. The Scrunchie - It is also a well known fact that sometimes booze, well; it just doesn’t want to stay down. This noble title is not for the squeamish or the faint of heart. If the bride reaches the point of no return, the Scrunchie is needed to jump in and hold her hair back. This honor should be given to a friend so loyal that they have seen you at your worst, and rather than judging you, helped take care of you and get you back on your feet. Admirable as you are, Scrunchie, we hope we have no need of you.
