Bachelorette bingo is one of the most popular games to play at a bach party. Each guest receives a bingo card filled with events or facts connected to the bride or location. Then, they mark them off as the night or trip goes on.

It’s different from traditional bingo because there are lots of customized themes that align to the bachelorette party.

For example, if your bachelorette theme is “Her Last Rodeo” the bridal bingo card may have lots of cowboy and rodeo-related items for guests to look out for.

Bach bingo can also include humorous items to make everyone laugh or party-related tasks that truly customize the game to the bride.

Bachelorette bingo is a popular choice because it’s easy to create, low-cost, and engaging for everyone at the party, much like bridal jeopardy. Plus, it creates a competitive environment that will help bring guests closer together.

How to Create a Bachelorette Bingo Game

You have the option of purchasing a pre-made bingo card set from a website like Etsy or creating one yourself. Making it yourself is the best way to go because you can customize the square to fit the bride.

First, decide on a theme. You can go with wedding trivia, personal facts about the bride, or party dares. You can also create a bingo card with events on it for the guests to look out for as they participate in the bach party or trip.

Next, create a bingo card. You can make one from scratch or use a free online template. Canva is a free tool that provides lots of templates you can customize and save for free. Add beautiful imagery that connects to the bachelorette party theme to tie everything together.

Create basic prompts and throw in a few challenging ones to keep the game going. Add fun, customized prompts like “bride mentions the groom”, “someone spills a drink”, or “sing karaoke.” This will allow guests to still enjoy the party while playing the game, so you won’t have to stop the festivities to get the game rolling.

The amount of squares you create will depend on the party size and timeframe in which you’re playing. A standard bingo card contains 25 squares to align with the title BINGO.

You can make shorter cards by using the bride’s name or other terms, just make sure your card has the same amount of squares in both the row and column to keep it cohesive.

When creating your game, you’ll need a bingo theme to really make the game shine. Aligning the game to the type of bachelorette party will make it feel more personalized and exciting.

There are lots of different directions you can go in. Here are some ideas you can use!

Wedding-themed prompts - Use bride and groom trivia, wedding buzzwords, or other facts connected to weddings or the bride and groom!
Drinking game version - Prompts like “Take a shot” or “Bride says ‘I’m so excited!’” will keep drinks flowing and guests on their toes.
Personalized version - Fill bingo cards with inside jokes, shared memories, or the bride’s quirks. If there are phrases she says often, include those too!
Dare-based version - Have guests complete challenges like dancing with a stranger, ordering a silly drink, or buying the bride a drink.
Trip Events - Hosting a destination bach? Add common trip events to the bingo card to keep guests attentive and extend the length of the game.
Digital bingo - Want to streamline the game? Create a digital version of the bingo board! Simple send them to guests so they can download or screenshot, then use their photo app on their phone to mark off each square!

How to Play Bachelorette Bingo

Playing bachelorette bingo is a lot like playing the traditional game. Here are the directions you’ll need to ensure everyone knows how to play!

Materials Needed:

Bingo cards or digital bingo boards
Pens, markers, stickers, or tokens to mark off squares

Rules

Each bingo card will have the same terms in the boxes, however they are in different spots. Each player will mark squares as they come across the event. For example, when the bride does or says something specific, when an event happens, or when they complete a dare.

You can also call out different trivia questions and have guests mark off what they think is the correct answer. The first person to complete a row, column, or diagonal set wins! If you’re looking for a new take on bingo, turn it into a drinking game or incorporate fun, on-theme prizes for the winners.

If you’re playing at a home bachelorette, you can sit everyone down to play at the same time. However, if you are out and about, you can hand out cards and supplies at the launch location.

Explain the rules ahead of time and give guests directions on what to do if they win when you are out celebrating. You can also tell them how to claim their prizes, especially since you won’t want to be carrying a giant bag of gifts around all evening!

Tips for Making Bachelorette Bingo a Success

While bachelorette bingo is a well-known game, there are some things you can do to ensure it’s a fun time for all.

Keep the prompts lighthearted and appropriate for the group. If you want to incorporate edgy humor, run it past the bride first. She or some of the expected guests may feel uncomfortable discussing personal matters in front of other family members.

As you customize the game, adapt it to the setting. A home party will have a lot more flexibility than a bar crawl will. So make sure if you’re playing when you’re out and about that the cards and pens or stickers can be easily stashed in a clutch for easy access.

For maximum playability, incorporate a mix of easy and challenging prompts to make the game exciting. Be mindful of the guests' connections to the bride to ensure the game is fair. Her lifelong best friend will have an edge over her new sister-in-law if you make the game too challenging.

Finally, encourage participation with fun prizes, drink coupons, or snacks throughout the night. Allow for more than one winner to spread the wealth and make everyone feel like they have a good shot at victory.

Remember, the game is meant to bring people together as they celebrate the bride-to-be. It should be fun for all!

Concluding the Bingo Game

Bachelorette parties are a time for the future bride to let down her hair and build lasting memories with her favorite gals.

Games like bachelorette bingo help to keep the party going while offering guests an engaging way to show off their knowledge of the bride or willingness to add life to the party.

Remember to align the game with the bride’s preferences and always ask if you want to include more edgy prompts. It shouldn’t make anyone feel uncomfortable or discourage them from participating

Make sure the game honors the bride-to-be and her upcoming nuptials like showing her how much you care about her. Have fun making the game and your positivity will shine through!
