One of the many hen night traditions is to introduce some challenges and dares to proceedings, usually aimed at the bride-to-be but the rest of the girls can be drawn into the fun as well.
The aim is to provide some easy laughs and cheeky moments that will long be remembered after the hen party is over. Dare-to-do games are also useful on the night itself if the party needs a kick start, especially if some of the hen guests are not previously aware of each other.
However, the main goal of dares is to lightly embarrass the hen and to make sure she has a certain amount of nervousness and apprehension ahead of her big night.
It is always a gamble to leave the creation of the dares off-the-cuff, so we recommend getting hold of one of the many hen night dare games, so the challenges are laid out and decided in advance. The risk of leaving it to the night is that people will get carried away and come up with something that crosses the line.
If you choose to head out on your hen night equipped with a pack of dare-to-do cards you can look forward to challenging the bride-to-be to some of these intreguing challenges:
- Find the man with the hairiest chest and rub your face against it
- Kiss the next man that walks through the door
- Lie on your back and count to 50
All relatively harmless, but cracking good fun and certain to be remembered in the morning, if just for the reaction of bystanders.
