Bachelorette Memory Games
There are many ways to salute your soon-to-be-married friend before her big day. If you're tasked with hosting the bachelorette festivities, then you know you're responsible for giving her one of her most memorable nights ever. However, if some of your party plans include kicking off the activities with a few games, try adding some memory games that are entertaining both sober and well, not-so-sober.

Kitchen Stock
-
Kick-start your party by playing the kitchen apron game. You'll need to buy an apron for your bachelorette to wear on the day of the party as well as tell all the guests that one of their gifts needs to be a kitchen utensil. Ask guests to leave the game gift unwrapped as they will give you the gifts upon arrive. Have the bachelorette pin the items to the apron or leave hanging out of the pockets so that everything is visible. Once all the guests arrive, before the fun begins, have the bachelorette prance around showing everyone her new kitchen gifts. Give the guests a short period of time to view what she has on and then tell her to then take the apron in another room. Challenge guests to guess all the items that were affixed to the apron without conversing with each other. Award prizes to the winner with the most correct answers.
Telephone Game
-
Just like the game played as a child, the telephone game should be played with all guests sitting around in a circle. Start the game by allowing the bachelorette to write down the story when she and her guy first met. The story can be completely true or somewhat fabricated. Have each player whisper the story to the next going around the complete circle until it gets back to the bride. Allow the bride to say aloud the end result of the story and then repeat her original story as a comparison.

Drinking Games
-
Drinking games are popular among bachelorette parties and help the bride-to-be loosen up a little bit before you haul her off for a night on the town. A popular drinking game, "I Never," involves guests taking turns asking questions and then asking other to guests to drink if they have ever done it, such as "I never kissed John Smith." Any of the girls who actually did kiss him would take a sip. Use this same concept for your memory game by challenging guests to guess things the bachelorette hasn't done before. See which of her friends remember the most about her like "She skipped the 3rd grade." For those who think she did and get it wrong, they take a drink.
Post Drinking Games
-
After the initial drinking games have set in and the girls become pretty tipsy, now's the perfect time to hop in the limo and play a fun game of Name That Car. Have the bachelorette call out cars while you're driving to your destination such as "Red Nissan truck." If you're just playing for fun, no one needs to take notes to keep track of the real answers. As new cars are noted by the lucky girl, guests must then keep track of all of the cars she's mentioned without missing one. Each player takes turns trying to remember all of the previous cars and the new one the bachelorette adds on their turn like "Red Nissan truck, white van, black limo, grey Camry." Whoever forgets one of the cars in the correct order must take a drink.
