hens night ideas needed

man, talk about panic mode, friends wedding was suppose to be in december but they have brought it forward to september, and she suddenly decided that she still wanted her hens night, so i only have basically 1 week to organise and get invites out.

And i have no idea what to do...she wants something along the lines of what she did for mine, the problem being as since she has brought it forward by 3mths i dont have that cash...

Mum has offered her place up to have the hens night, so am going to have a potluck dinner, but am wanting some game ideas etc.

There are heaps of sites you could google but here are some of the games we had at my hen night and went down well with huge mix of different people:

*The peg game - everyone starts with 1/2 pegs and everytime ~~~ is said you take the peg off the person who said taboo word. Person with most pegs at end gets a little prize. (Could be bride/groom/wedding....)

*Guess the song from the lyrics/musical intro (using romantic songs)

*Headbands. Everyone gets a word to do with wedding stuck on head. Take turns to ask yes/no Qs to find out what/who you are (3 turns each)

*Pass the parcel - ask the bride and groom Qs about their relationship beforehand then slip these in between layers. If guest gets it right then they peel back a layer to reveal next question. (if you ask groom q's then bride can take part too but otherwise is nice way to involve other guests and let them get to know the couple a bit more - obviously consider who guests are before asking too many raunchy questions )

Oh and with the pot luck you could get everyone to bring their recipe with them so you could give them to bride?

Although my bridesmaid hasn't even asked about this yet, I have already decided I am having a singstar party. Can't wait! Will hire a ps2 and the singstar games from the vidoo shop, may even get buzz as well. Will probably have a few drinks and trek into town (or not) but I WILL NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES be wearing one of those tragic veil/ugly dress combo that girls seem to do on hens nights. Tacky and (for me that is, I never wanted to do that dress up as an ugly bride palaver)

I like the challenge idea, jus tnot the tacky costume idea! We used to set up cool challenges back in the day, but I'm not too sure my stamina is up to it these days.. (im sooo old)

thanks guys, its a bit harder having it at home as there is 3 of us who are pregnant and 1 is due to drop like 3 days after hensnight so didnt really want to be running around all over town

I'm gonna express like a mad thing and get ROTTEN. yeehaaaaaaaaaa

CHOICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS!!!!!!!!
