Tip #10: 20 Questions

Now that I’ve told you more than you probably ever want to know about giant inflatable penises, it’s time to move onto the next block of tips. Starting today, I think I’ll share some fun party games with you that have worked well at the bachelorette parties I’ve hosted in the past. We’ll start with one of my absolute favorites: 20 questions-type games, where you try and find out how much the bride-to-be really knows about her future groom. There’s no shortage of different ways to play this out there, but here’s my favorite.
The first step is, obviously, to ask the groom 20 questions and write down the answers. These should be things that he thinks the bride might or might not know. Throw a few in there that he knows the bride probably wouldn’t know and will have to guess on, for fun. It should be a mix of yes/no questions and questions that require a more specific answer. Asking specific dates are great, but not the obvious ones like when he proposed - things like their first date are good, if he can even remember. After you’ve recorded his answers to the question, ask him how many questions he thinks the bride will get right, just for fun.
Then, at the party, ask all the girls how many they think the bride will get right, and keep track of that. Then, ask the bride the questions. Whoever was closest to how many she got right should get a prize. You can have all the girls throw in a dollar and give the money to the winner, or you can make a drinking game out of it and let the winner dole out shots, there’s lots of possibilities.
This is a great game to play because not only will it be funny to see how the bride’s answers match up to the real ones, the bride will definitely learn some new things about her husband that night. And there’s a lot you can do with it, too. Like I said, you could have the girls bet money or drink with it, but I’m sure you can come up with some other great ideas too. 20 questions is a classic bachelorette party game and one of the funnest by far in my experience. If you need help coming up with questions to ask the groom, I’m sure you can find some good ideas on the internet. I had a set of questions I used to ask for this, but it’s been a while since I threw a bachelorette party and I lost the list. If by some chance I find it again I’ll share them with you, but you’re probably better off searching the web, or coming up with questions on your own. I’ll post some more game ideas next week.

See you next time,
