What are some fun tasks to do at a hen party?

Short answer

Fun tasks at a hen party include a scavenger hunt, a quiz about the couple, a "pin the veil on the bride" game, a photo booth with props, a group dance challenge, and a memory jar where everyone writes a wish for the marriage.

A hen party is a chance to laugh and bond, so games should be light and inclusive. A scavenger hunt around the town or the venue is a great icebreaker, with tasks like taking a photo with a stranger, finding a pink item, or collecting a napkin from a bar. A quiz about the couple, with questions about how they met, their first holiday or their favourite food, always gets people talking. "Pin the veil on the bride" is a silly, low-cost game that works well with a printed photo. A photo booth with silly hats, moustaches and speech bubbles gives everyone a keepsake. A group dance challenge, where you learn a short routine together, is fun and can be filmed. A memory jar is a lovely calm activity: each guest writes a wish or a piece of advice for the marriage on a slip of paper, and the bride reads them later. You can also do a "how well do you know the groom" quiz, but keep it friendly and avoid anything that might embarrass anyone. The best tasks are ones everyone can join in with, whatever their age or fitness.
