Games for Ladies to Play at Parties

Even the most ladylike ladies enjoy party games. The trick is to introduce games that will keep female guests interested and will invite girlish giggles. Some games may coax the playful little girl out of hiding, while other games might bring out a competitive or loose streak in some guests. Prizes need not be elaborate or expensive—unless you want them to be. All of your guests receive the true prize in their shared enjoyment of another guest's sparkling company.

  An elegant basket filled with wrapped and numbered gifts serves as a focal point for a free raffle game. Wrap and number gifts such as scented candles, bath salts, body cream and moisturizing gloves. As guests arrive, they pick a ticket out of a glass bowl. When a lady matches her ticket number with a gift in the basket, she wins that gift. Make one gift the grand prize, such as a pair of etched champagne flutes.
  
  Ladies do not have to purchase raffle tickets. Each guest receives a ticket with a number printed on it. Ticket numbers correspond to the numbered gifts in the basket.

Ask guests to write their numbers on their own cards and on separate slips of paper, which they place in a basket or bowl. The hostess draws corresponding numbers from a basket or a bowl. When you call out each number drawn from the basket, the woman with the matching number must show what barnyard animal she drew. She must make the sound of that animal. Each lady receives a prize for her boldness.
