Bachelorette and Hen Party Scavenger Hunt: 40 Photo Ideas and Dares

How a Bachelorette Scavenger Hunt Works

A bachelorette scavenger hunt gives the group a list of photos to take, with the bride at the center of most of them. It works the same at a hen do in the UK, a hens night in Australia, or a bachelor party.

Play in teams of two to four for a competitive night out, or as one crew for a smaller group. Set a time limit, give harder prompts more points, and agree where everyone meets at the end.

Have every photo uploaded to one shared album, so the hunt doubles as the weekend's photo collection instead of ending up in a dozen camera rolls. The free printable on this page has 24 of these prompts in three point levels.

Photo Prompts With the Bride

These keep the bride in the picture and suit any group, including parents.

1. The bride with someone who has been married for more than 25 years
2. The bride getting marriage advice from a stranger, with their permission
3. The whole crew recreating a photo from the bride's childhood
4. The bride with someone who shares the partner's first name
5. A toast to the bride from a table of strangers
6. The bride wearing a borrowed hat
7. The bride signing a napkin autograph for a new fan
8. The bride with the oldest person in the room
9. The bride leading the crew in a dance move
10. A slow-motion walk with the bride in front

Out on the Town

For a night out or a bar crawl. Agree on the route, keep the group together, and make it clear that a mocktail counts wherever a drink comes up.

1. The bride with a bartender who names a drink after the couple; a mocktail counts
2. The bride on stage at karaoke or an open mic
3. The bride with a stranger wearing white
4. The bride with a couple celebrating their own anniversary
5. The bride with someone who got married this year
6. The bride with a street performer
7. The crew in matching poses outside the first venue
8. The bride getting applause from a whole room
9. The bride teaching a stranger a dance move for the wedding
10. The whole crew at the last stop, with the bride in the middle

Daytime and Weekend-Away Prompts

For brunch, a pool day, a city break, or a weekend in a rental. All of them are family-friendly.

1. The crew in matching sunglasses or outfits
2. Brunch with the bride, styled like a magazine cover
3. The bride's first coffee of day two
4. A jump shot by the pool, the beach, or a lake
5. The crew spelling the wedding date with their bodies
6. The bride with a local shopkeeper
7. The crew at the most famous landmark in town
8. A wine glass, coffee cup, or ice cream cone in every hand
9. The bride with something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue
10. The crew's best tired faces on the way home

Dares and Bride Challenges

Dares work best when the bride picks them, anyone can say no, and nothing involves drinking or pushing strangers who decline. Each one is done on camera for the album.

1. Get a stranger to sing the first line of the couple's wedding song with the bride
2. Collect three pieces of marriage advice from strangers, each in a selfie
3. The bride orders in a fake accent and keeps it up until the drinks arrive
4. Get a free item from the staff, such as a straw, a coaster, or a song request
5. The bride swaps an accessory with a stranger for one photo
6. The crew performs a 30-second dance in public, on video
7. The bride gets a stranger to propose a toast to the couple
8. A photo with someone celebrating a birthday
9. The bride tells a stranger how the couple met in under 20 seconds, on video
10. The bride collects high fives from ten different people

Scoring and Ground Rules

Score quick photos at one point, prompts that need a stranger at two, and the hardest dares at three. Let the maid of honor judge, and give the bride the final say on the favorite photo.

Set the ground rules before you start: ask before photographing anyone outside the group, stay together and plan the ride home, respect venue rules, and let anyone skip a prompt. The bride can veto any dare.

Have each team upload from one phone, adding the team name as the caption. Every find lands in one album, so judging takes minutes and the bride gets every photo afterward.
