At my daughter's hen party (bridal shower) we played a game called pass the parcel. It takes a bit of pre organizing but is very good fun. You need to buy about 20 - 30 gifts (from dollar store can be useful or silly) and wrap them all up. Place on the floor in the middle of the room. you then share out a pack of playing cards between your guests every one should get 2 or 3. Using a fresh pack of cards you call out the numbers and the holder of the cards can choose a gift. They are not allowed to open them and must keep them in view. When the presents have all gone you carry on calling out the pack of cards but this time the holder can take a gift from someone else. It is especially fun if some of the presents look interesting and a bit of competition is set up to get those packages. The game ends when the deck of cards has been called out twice (shuffle after the first time) everyone usually ends up with a least one present.
