Bachelorette party bingo for a fun night out

Bachelorette party bingo for a fun night out tips

• Give the bride her own card and a pen before you leave the house. The night is about her, and she'll catch moments nobody else sees, like a stranger who stops to congratulate her or a friend admiring her engagement ring at dinner.
• Set the group selfie rule up front: it counts only when the bride is in the frame and everyone is facing the camera. That rules out blurry shots from across the room and gives the group a reason to gather between stops.
• For the karaoke song, sing as a group so nobody gets pushed into a solo. Pick the song in the car on the way, and let anyone who'd rather not sing count the square by cheering from the front row.
• Pack the props that unlock squares: a glittery sash, a tiara, cowboy hats, light-up necklaces and a confetti popper to announce the winner. A sash and tiara also make the stranger square far more likely, because people can tell who the bride is.
• Make the prize something that centers the bride: the winner picks her dessert or the last song of the night. Afterward, collect the marked cards for her scrapbook.
