"Alright, I'm going to show you how to do some great bachelorette party games that's going to get everybody involved, keep everybody laughing, and keep you and your bride on her toes. First game we're going to do is a bachelorette scavenger hunt. This is really easy. All you need is a bunch of girls, and you're going to need a couple of cars, so you can split in to teams. And based on how big the cars are is how big the teams are going to be. Make sure everybody has a cell phone and a digital camera, or a polaroid camera, because you're going to need evidence that they've done each thing. Also, when you make your list of scavenger items, make sure that you have enough copies for each team to have a copy of the list. And you're going to assess everything points, and you can do bonus points. And so I've given you some great examples. You're going to start by giving each task one point. And then you can also give them bonus points, if there's a little something extra you want them to do with it. For each item, you're going to have them take a picture of the item, as it's in progress, or while they're completing that item for the scavenger hunt. And you're going to have a rendez-vous point and a time that everybody has to be back by. So, I've given you some examples, and here's a list of some scavenger items. And, some of them are, just for some ideas, you're going to want to find something that can be used as a metaphor for the groom. So, think of something that like a wet blanket, or a dough boy, something really funny like that. Don't think stolen baby, because kidnapping is illegal. Other great things, you're going to want to arrange lawn ornaments in to various positions, but if it's illegal, don't do it. Another great thing is to get something embarrassing from the groom. So, if you guys can get a hold of the groom and find something really embarrassing that he's got, that would embarrass him, get that, take a picture of it, and that's going to be a point. Also, you might want to try things like, that are really crazy, like getting a lock of a man's chest hair. That's funny, and they could bring that back, and that's a point. And then you can give them negative points if it's gray. So, you can think of really funny things to go along with it. Another thing is, obtain something that is stained with lipstick, and it's not yourself. So, ask a guy if you can stain his shirt with lipstick kisses, and then you bring the shirt back. Those are some great ideas. And then also, you can do things that are kind of obscure, like take a picture of a man that has a tattoo of MOM. So, all those great things. Make up your own. Think of things that you can do bonus points with. You can also go to a great site called bachelorette.com. They have a free scavenger list that you can download and print out if you can't think of one on your own. But, again, you can take lots of pictures. It's going to be great memories when you print them out, and it's a great game to play with your bachelorette."
