Bachelor and Bachelorette Party Drinking Games

The best bachelor and bachelorette party drinking games put the guest of honor in the middle of everything: a bride- or groom-vs.-the-crew beer pong game, Kings with a wedding twist, couple trivia, and flip cup. These work for both parties or a combined one, at a house, a bar or a rental.

1. Guest of honor vs. the crew

Regular beer pong, but the bride or groom (plus the best man or maid of honor) takes on challengers all night.

  • Ring of fire counts double: it’s a wedding. Pull off a ring of fire and the other team buys the next round.
  • Last cup “I do”: the guest of honor has to say “I do” before shooting at the last cup.
  • Set up a bracket for the crew with the bracket generator.

2. Wedding Kings

Play Circle of Death with three swaps:

  • Queen: question master, but every question has to be about the couple.
  • Jack: make a rule. It has to be a wedding rule, like “nobody says ‘wedding.'”
  • King: pour into the King’s Cup and give a 10-second toast to the couple.

3. Who knows the couple best?

Before the party, ask the bride or groom 10 questions about the couple: where they met, first date, who said “I love you” first. At the party, the crew guesses. Wrong answer, sip. The guest of honor drinks for every answer they get wrong about their own relationship.

4. Flip cup: bride’s side vs. groom’s side

Combined party? Flip cup with the two sides of the wedding party. Losing side handles the toast at the rehearsal dinner.

5. Never have I ever (the clean version)

Go around and say something you’ve never done. Anyone who has done it drinks. Keep it to the couple, the trip and the wedding party, and you’ll learn plenty.

6. Rage Cage for the late night

When the group gets loud, Rage Cage around the table is the perfect finale.

Keep the guest of honor upright

It’s a long weekend, not a one-night sprint. Water cups for pong, small pours, food out, and a buddy assigned to the bride or groom. Nobody wants the guest of honor missing the second night.
