Christmas Recipes For Busy Moms.

I’m throwing my best friend her bachelortte party. It’s more than likely going to be at my apartment and the girls invited are some I used to work with and she still works with (I worked at a doctor’s office for 2 1/2 years which is where she and I met. I got a new full-time and better paying job about two months ago and she’s still working at the doctor’s office. She’s been there about 2 years now). I plot on having finger foods and party favors that I saw on some websites. But I need some cute/amusing games to play that night. Nothing too risque, my friend is easily embarrassed. And we’re not having a stripper either. Just some stuff that’s fun for everyone without going too far. Thanks a bunch!

Oh, and I read somewhere that the hostess of the bachelorette party is supposed to give a speech when all the guests get there to kick everything off. Is that right?

So you’ve plotted the evening out. You have the stripper arriving at 10, you have your appetizers and drinks in the preparatory phases, you’ve got your music laid out? and still, you feel there’s something missing. There’s some downtime that you have nothing plotted for. This is a major no-no called "dead air" — one of the worst things that can happen to a faltering party. On the off chance your party starts to waver and you need some filler, have some games plotted.

Bride and Groom Trivia

Trivia games are always fun. Although you’ll have to do some research to set up the questions, the payoff will be worth it. There are several variations of this game. The first is simply Bride Trivia. Who knows the bride the best? The obvious answer may seem to be her family or her childhood friends, but that’s not always the case. To set up this game, question the bride some really obscure questions, like what type of shoes would she wear everywhere if it were socially acceptable? (You may be surprised to learn that your fashion maven friend would go barefoot — or wear her ratty slippers to work if she could.) What kind of work would she be doing if she had the chance to go back and change her college major?

The second variation of this game is a take on the Newlywed Game. You’ll have to get the groom involved here. Question him some questions: Does the bride prefer silver or gold (or platinum) jewelry? Where did they meet for the first time? What was their first conversation about? She’ll undoubtedly give one answer, and you’ll read the groom’s very different responses. This is an opportunity for everyone to be in on the betrothed couple’s relationship, and it may be a real eye-opener for those who thought they knew the pair well.

There are endless variations on the trivia genre. Where you want to go with it depends on the amount of time you want to place into plotting it and the size of your party. If, for example, you and five girls are off to your cabin for the weekend, the questions and answers can be much different — more intriguing, more intimate, more detailed — than if you’re playing this game in a group of 50.

In a more intimate setting, you can even extend the questions to everyone. As Question Master, you’ll separately (privately) question everyone the same questions, then gather everyone back together. Read off the questions, and then read the stack of answers without revealing who said what. Let everyone guess who gave which answer.

Since any wild bachelorette party is going to include bottles and bottles of alcohol, you may want to place them to use and make the drinks a staple of your games. This is a win-win situation: You’re filling time, and your guests will be so trashed after playing, they won’t notice if you’re providing any entertainment at all. There are so many drinking games, you probably couldn’t play them all in your lifetime even if all you ever do is drink — just take a look online. You’ll get a list you won’t believe.

I Never…

The rules for this game are simple: Each contestant admits something they’ve never done. For example, "I never went to a bar without underwear." Anyone who has ever left the house to do a small cruising commando has to drink. You are perfectly free to say you’ve never done something that you really have — as long as you drink anyway. Hilarity will be the order of the evening as everyone watches who is taking a drink.

The key to this game is creativity. Reckon of the most bizarre things you’ve never — or ever — done. You may learn more about each other than you ever wanted to know, which is the whole point of this game.

Celebrity Games

This is a fantastic game with a lot of variations to it. Pick any genre (actors, TV personalities, or people you really know). Then pick a category like "people ever slept with" or, in the case of actors, "participation in movies that bombed."

Here’s another example. You name a musician; the next player has to name a song. Others continue to name songs until you’ve exhausted the musician’s catalog of recordings. Or name an oft-recorded song and try to name everyone who has recorded it. Name all the musicians who died of drug- or alcohol-related causes. Pick a letter of the alphabet and name as many musicians as you can whose name starts with that letter. Whoever gets stumped, of course, drinks.

So a friend and I want to give the bachelorette something different for her bachelorette party/shower. She Likes shoes! So we want to do a "dress with your favorite pair of shoes" theme. Any thoughts for games, invitations, decorations, party favors? We know she wants to dress up for her party, so we thought this would be super fun and right up her alley!
Thanks for the help!

You should have a Strut Shoe Party. We had one for a friend and she got the hostess credits to shop for whatever shoes she wanted.
