Coed/all girl’s bachelorette/shower

How

Get one hot-dog for each player and some twine. You will also need some empty milk bottle or other containers with small openings. Poke a hole through the hot-dog about an inch down from an end and thread with some twine and tie. The twine needs to be about twelve inches long for each hot-dog. The other end of the twine is tied to a player’s belt loop. If a player does not have any belt loops use extra twine and tie it around the waist. Hot-dogs should be dangling down behind their behinds!

Now put the empty milk bottle or container in front of each player. When you shout “Go!” players need to squat around the milk bottle until their weiner is fully in the bottle. The first player to shout “I’m in” or perhaps something more suggestive like “Full penetration achieved”! is the winner.

Tips

• The narrowness of the bottle opening is important as it is what makes the game challenging.
• If the containers are too light and tip easily put some sand in the bottom to weigh them down.

Variations

• For comedic effect use Bratwursts which are much bigger and more phallic! This would mean using containers with wider openings like jelly jars or pasta sauce jars. Or go the other way and use cocktail sausages and find smaller containers like baby food jars
• If using sausages is not suitable because of vegetarians or because the risky nature to them is not appropriate for the party goers use baby carrots or zucchinis.
• You could also vary the game so that there are some tacks at the bottom of the jars and players have to use their hot-dog to try and pick up as many tacks as possible within a one minute time limit.

How

You need three paperclips or small binder clips. Blindfold the Bride and then attach the clips anywhere on the Groom’s clothes. The Bride then has to find the three clips in one minute. If she fails she has to face a penalty forr each clip she missed.

Tips

• Smaller clips are harder to find.
• If you want the Bride to fail put one on a shoelace!

Variations

• Groom could face the penaltys for each clip his blushing Bride does find.
• Swap over so the Groom has to do the finger finding.
• Instead of using clips use candies which the Groom has to find with his mouth in two minutes. Others can play too in boy/girl pairs and it can be a race to see who finds all three first.

You will need to tie a clothesline across the room and then attach large pickles with string to it. Each pickle needs to be adjusted for each player’s height so that it hangs just in front of their mouths.

Players keep their hands behind their backs and have thirty seconds to try and eat as much of their pickle as they can. Whoever has eaten the most is the winner.

Tips

• This can get messy so having newspaper layed out below the clothesline for players to stand on will help when its time to clean up. Plastic trash bags with head holes or big bibs will keep players clean too.
• If players really do not like pickles just use another fruit or vegetable like carrot or cucumber.

Variations

• Get some small bananas, wash them put leave them unpeeled. Players have to try and peel them with just their mouth and teeth and then eat them!
• If it is an all adult party and can be more risky use bananas and non-lubricated condoms, players sit down with a banana between their legs and have to try and open then roll the condom onto the banana.

To play this game you need 10 players, 5 in each team, ten drinking straws and 2 business cards. If it is a wedding game you could have bridesmaids versus groomsmen or just girls versus boys or mix it up, however you want. Each team stands in a line and each has a straw. The object of the game is to get the business card from the starting payer to the end player along the line using just the straw.

The kiss is the business card. The player uses the straw and inhales so that they are sucking the card onto the end of the straw. They then pass it to the next team member in the line and that player uses suction to get the card. To release the card to the next player so their suction holds it the one passing needs to stop sucking and may even have to blow to get it to release. It gets passed down the line until the last player has it.

The first team to get it down the line are the winners. If a card is dropped it can be picked up by hand and then that player has to resume sucking it onto their straw before trying to pass it on again.

Tips

• Shortening the straws makes it easier if all the players are struggling!
• If there are more players wanting to play just get more straws and cards.

Variations

• If everyone is game make it more intimate and get rid of the straws!
• Players could pass a straw or chopstick down the line holding it between their nose and upper lip.
• Pass an orange with your shoulder and cheek only, or a balloon with the knees. There are a lot of relay pass it on versions.

This game needs at least two pairs of old pantyhose – more would be good in case of runs. You also need four lemons, put one lemon in one leg of the first pair of pantyhose, another lemon in a leg of the second pair of pantyhose. Put the other two lemons aside for now.

Divide players into two teams, it could be girls versus boys or mixed, this is up to you. Choose someone from each team to tie a pair of pantyhose around their waists so that the lemon then dangles between their legs. It should fall to about knee level. Now get the other two lemons and put them in front of each team. The players wearing the pantyhose have to knock that lemon across a finishing line you have marked or you could just have them hit the far wall of the room. Of course it is no hands allowed, that’s the fun!

When they get the lemon to the decided point they bring it back to their team and pass over the pantyhose to the next team member who has to knock the lemon as well. It keeps going until all team members have knocked the lemon. Have the teams strike a funny pose when they have finished to declare they are done. Winners get to tell the loosers they had them by the balls!

Variations

• As well as lemons you can use softballs or oranges. You could also knock ballons to a finish line rather than a fruit – watch out the balloons can go everywhere!
• If you do not have much room instead of knocking something to a finish line you could have an unopened can of soda in front of teams that they have to each knock over.

How

You will need some shaving cream, three spoons and six plastic trash bags to be used as bibs. Cut a slit about the length of a hand along the bottom seam of each bag so players can stick their heads through the hole and wear the bags as clothing protection. Three will also need arm slits.

Three women and three men play, it is easier if the men are clean shaven. Sit the men in three chairs and then stand a girl next to each man. Give the men their bibs to put on and then offer one to the girls too as it can get messy! Each woman takes a spoon while somone gets the shaving cream and lathers up all the men ready.

The women “beauticians’ need to use their spoons as razors and ‘shave’ their man in thirty seconds. The winning pair are the ones who have the closest shave (removes the most cream).

Tips

• Put newspaper under each chair to make cleaning up a little easier.
• If it is a wedding reception game Bride and Groom can be a team though make sure you protect that wedding dress!

Variations

• You could have just men competing shaving themselves. Blindfold them and then give them 45 seconds to do a close shave.
• Women could be the receivers of a close shave if they are willing to have their legs shaved!
• Use whipped cream instead of shaving foam!

How

In this game the objective is to be the one who was able to hold the most ‘babies’ while also diapering them. You will need about ten 5lb bags of flour (the babies), a roll of paper towels (the diapers) and some tape (the safety pins). Each player takes it in turn to be the baby’s caregiver and play at a ‘changing table’.

When it is their turn the caregiver has to quickly diaper a bag of flour using one sheet of paper towel and the tape to fix it. But then the fun begins! The caregiver has to hold that diapered ‘baby’ while they do the next (under an arm, on a foot, between the legs). Each bag of flour they diaper they have to hold while they do the next. Obviously this gets heavy and tricky the more ‘babies’ you are holding! Their turn is over when they horror or horrors drop one.

Now remove all the diapers and set up the changing table again ready for the next player. The winner is the one who was able to diaper the most babies. If you do a girls versus boys thing crown your King and Queen.

Tips

• In case of damaged flour bags use plastic wrap around them. You can also use duct tape to help re-enforce the bag around the middle of the bags.
• To make it more funny decorate each bag of flour with a kid’s bonnet or a bib etc.
• If players are being too slow get their buns moving by giving a time limit of say five minutes.

Variations

• Instead of paper towels and tape you could use the real thing i.e. disposable diapers or cloth ones and safety pins. Note: poked and leaking ‘babies’ should receive a penalty!

Ask guests if they want to play in a getaway game and if so ask them to come in pairs. One person is the passenger and the other is their carry-on luggage! Make sure you have some newspapers for this game and hand each pair a full sheet i.e 4 pages. Players open up the sheet and lay it on the floor flat in front of them. The paper is their plane, each rider has to board the plane with their luggage. So the passenger and luggage steps on the plane. But their feet cannot touch the floor of the plane so then they have to re-arrange themselves somehow.

Oh no! Their flight was overbooked and passengers are being bumped so the Bride and Groom can fly to their honeymoon destination! Passengers and luggage have to disembark and then fold their ‘plane’ in half and then get back on board. They then have to manage to stay on their plane for 15 seconds or they get bumped off the flight and out of the game.

Any that manage through that round now have to fold their sheet again and so on. Keep going until there is just one pair left who are the winning flyers!

Tips

• By the fourth fold its gets pretty tricky to stay on the paper so give players a little more time as someone is bound to fall off!
• If players want to watch each other as they board stagger each pair’s turn.
• This is a chance for the Bride and Groom to just rest, enjoy and eat!

Variations

• Instead of players working in pairs it can be an individual game.
• Alternatively to make it a bigger group game use a bedsheet. Keep folding it until there is only one person left on it.

Arrange guests sitting in a circle so that they are alternating girl then boy all the way around. The host will need a small soft pig toy and holds it while standing in the middle of the circle. The host demonstrates the game by saying “I kiss the pig on the ___” and then fills in the blank so for this example “cheek.” They then kiss the pig where they named and now pass the toy to someone in the circle.

The player does the same thing and chooses somewhere to kiss the pig then passes it round to the next player. Tell players they cannot kiss somewhere that has already been kissed!

Now for the fun! When the pig has gone around the circle and all player have kissed it somewhere the host in the middle reveals that they now have to kiss the person on their left in the same place they kisses the pig!

Tips

• So that everyone can watch and laugh have everyone give their kisses in turns!

You ideally need a nice big space for this game and make sure it is cleared of any obstacles like chairs etc. Something like a ten foot square dance floor at a reception would be great. Now get the Bride and Groom and blindfold them both and move them to opposite corners like in a boxing ring!

Just the same as the Marco-Polo game but in this case the Groom has to call out “Wife” or “Darling” or whatever you decide, and the Bride calls out “Husband” or “Honey” etc. The couple have to let each other’s voices guide them back to each other and seal their reunion with a kiss!

Tips

• Funny pet names for each other can be an amusing choice of call out words. Or make them act as their favorite pets and bark or meow their way to each other.
• If it is a multilingual joining they can use another language.
• Make it harder for the newly weds and have guests around the edge of the square calling . Males call to the Bride to guide her and females call to the Groom.

Variations

• You could include other couples in the game. Blindfold just the men and then arrange the women in and around the cleared area. The women cannot move but they can call out to their partner to come find them.
• Or have the men stand in a line facing in one direction, and then have their female partners come stand back to back with a random man (mix the women up so they are not standing with their partner). Have the first woman call out something “Honey Bunny” and the man that thinks that is his gal responds “Here smoochey woochey”. They then step to the head of the line. If they match they move off, if they are wrong they mix back up in the lines.
