How to Play Hen Party Pong!

Hen Party prosecco pong

Ladies, ladies, ladies, we have the perfect game to kick off your bachelorette party, and it's called Hen Party Pong!

Gone are the days of messy beer-chugging-American-style frat parties, now when we get absolutely hammered we want to feel elegant doing it – and that’s where the Prosecco comes in.

That’s right, everyone’s favourite fancy drink prosecco has been combined with the iconic tradition of Beer Pong, and we couldn’t be happier.

Now that pong has become particularly posh, you can play it at your hen party and still feel as classy as ever! Until later… when you inevitably get out the phallic novelty gear and hit the town. But for now...

How to play Hen Party Pong:

First of all, you may want to buy a Beer Pong set. Now we know we said it will be elegant, but those red cups fit a lot more bubbly goodness than a pretty flute…

Next, set out your cups in a triangle formation at either end of a long table. Fill them up with posh prosecco-y goodness.

Now it’s time to split yourselves into two teams, just like Beer Pong, the goal is to get your pong ball in one of the other team’s cups.

Take it in turns to throw the balls (one attempt per team, per round), when one successfully lands in the opponent’s cup they have to drink the bubbly booze!

The first team to get their opponents to drink all the contents of their cups win!

(Make sure you have a spare cup of water to wash the balls between turns, no one wants sticky prosecco fingers!)

Aren’t you wondering where Beer pong with Prosecco has been all our lives? Personally, we're just thankful we can leave the beer at home and enjoy our beloved drink of choice.

We have loads of other Hen Party games for you to enjoy so make sure you have a browse of our range. For any other Hen Party goodies make sure you check out our Hen Party Essentials.

How To Throw A Star Wars Hen Party!

andrew hen party themes

Today is May the 4th, which means it's Star Wars Day! If you're a fan of the franchise, we've got some great ideas and inspiration to help you ensure that your star wars hen party is the best in the entire galaxy.

What to Do

There's plenty of fancy dress inspiration out there for a Star Wars hen party, whether you want to wear a conventional character costume, or try something more creative. If you're thinking of going all-girl power, you could dress up as Princess Leia, Queen Amidala or Rey, perhaps keeping one character exclusively for the bride. Throwing a Star Wars themed hen party also allows you to spice up your hen party photos with some cool props, whether that's a novelty lightsabre or your very own Vader mask!

Who said Star Wars and hen parties don't mix well? Awesome DIY idea from Jordan Sparano on Pinterest.

You can't have a hen party without some party games, so make sure you have lots of fun, Star Wars themed activities to keep the group entertained! You could organise an "across the galaxy" themed scavenger hunt, or initiate a competition amongst yourselves to see who can get the funniest or most inappropriate photo of themselves in their costume. You could even play the classic "Pin the bun on Princess Leia", either with a photo prop or live action model...

There's also a drinking game for each of the Star Wars films courtesy of Star Wars Online Universe, which is perfect if you're thinking of hosting a movie marathon at your party.

You can't have a hen party without decorations, although we'll admit that Star Wars themed hen party accessories are a bit hard to come by. Despite the drought on the decoration front, there's no need to worry about having a bland bannerless party, as you can make your very own party decorations thanks to the abundance of ideas available online!

A Death Star piñata would make a great addition to your hen party, especially for those feisty hens with built up anger that they need to let out! You could also create your very own R2-D2 drinks dispenser, so that you can serve up your hen party drinks in style! Of course, no party is complete without balloons, so why not get some regular white balloons and use a sharpie to create your very own Storm-trooper decorations?!? We have to admit, the quality of this last idea depends on how good you are at wielding a sharpie, so make sure you get someone with a bit of an artistic streak to take on this responisbility.

Food and Drink

If you're throwing a Star Wars themed hen party, then you're going to need some appropriately themed snacks and drinks to give your celebrations that extra attention to detail. After all, your hen party spread should be a buffet fit for a Jedi!

Here are a few ideas we found while scouting the internet for inspiration:

The Kylo Ren-tini

Nothing hits the spot on a girls night out quite like a cocktail, so why not whip up a batch that will have you and your friends humming the Cantina Theme before you know it? The Kylo Ren-tini is a fun twist on a well-known classic, and includes one of our very favourite alcoholic beverages to give it that blood red colour - red wine!

You can find out how to make it over at Pop Sugar, where you'll find lots of other Star Wars cocktails to try out with your hens.

BB8 Cupcakes

How much did you all love this cute little droid from the latest film? Although BB8 is the newest addition to our trio of loveable robots, this character already has a special place in our hearts. The BB8 charm translates into just about anything, even cupcakes, which means that a set of these will look super impressive at your Star Wars hen party!

If you want to have a go at making these, head over to Baking Mischeif, where you can find the recipe and instructions!
