Because One Last Fling Deserves an Alter Ego, when it comes to bachelor or bachelorette parties, the goal is simple: laugh until you cry and make memories that (mostly) don’t need deleting. But if you're looking to turn up the creativity, ditch the traditional sashes and tiaras—enter the world of Novelty IDs. These hilarious fake identity cards let every guest become someone else for the night: a “Professional Party Consultant,” “CEO of Poor Decisions,” or even a “Retired Love Guru.” It’s not just about playing dress-up—it’s about creating a shared inside joke for the whole crew, where each alter ego fuels the fun, sparks conversation, and breaks the ice instantly. Whether you're bar-hopping or dancing in someone’s living room, Novelty IDs set the tone for a night that’s part improv show, part memory-maker, and 100% iconic. Here’s how to throw the ultimate send-off using novelty IDs as the theme.

1. Create Outrageous Identities for Every Guest

Create Outrageous Identities for Every Guest

 Before the party starts, assign or let guests choose their own alter egos. Whether they’re a time-traveling DJ, a sparkle security officer, or Dr. Dance Moves, PhD in Twerking, the more ridiculous, the better. Give your friends the freedom to become whoever—or whatever—they want for the night. The goal is pure absurdity: unleash hidden personalities, inside jokes, or totally random titles that will have everyone laughing before the drinks even hit the table. It’s a chance for even the shyest guest to lean into the silliness and let loose.

Print the names and roles on plastic novelty cards—bonus points if you add a fake birthdate, company name, and a “signature” like “Certified Chaos Coordinator.” These little touches turn a funny name into a full-blown persona. Hand them out as guests arrive, or display them on a “check-in” table to mimic a real ID pickup station. Not only do these cards act as hilarious conversation starters, but they also double as keepsakes—something to hang on the fridge or stash in a drawer for that future nostalgic laugh. It’s ice-breaking gold and instantly sets the mood

2. Set Up a “Check-In Desk” Like It’s a Secret Club

Set Up a “Check-In Desk” Like It’s a Secret Club

 Transform your entrance into a mock security checkpoint. Have someone dressed as a grumpy TSA agent or nightclub bouncer “inspect” everyone's ID before letting them in. Use a clipboard, flashlight, and lots of sass. This simple touch immediately makes guests feel like they’re entering a ridiculous, exclusive club—one where nonsense is the only rule. The more serious the "security," the funnier it becomes. Have them question guests like they’re on a secret mission or entering Area 51.

You could even confiscate “illegal” smiles or demand guests state their code name and last known location (Mars, Atlantis, Grandma’s basement—you get the idea). The weirder, the better. Ask absurd questions like, “Have you had contact with unicorns in the last 72 hours?” or “Are you carrying any unauthorized glitter?” This sort of playful interrogation breaks the ice, especially if not everyone in the group knows each other. It sets a humorous tone and lets people shed their real-life identities right at the door.

It’s the kind of ridiculous formality that gets everyone giggling from the jump. A line at the door suddenly turns into an improv sketch. A dull entrance becomes a performance stage. And your guests are no longer just guests—they're undercover agents, misfit employees, or VIPs from parallel dimensions. It makes the transition from “Hey, I just arrived” to “I’m all in for this night” almost instant.

3. ID-Themed Challenges and Games

Use the IDs as the basis for party games. A few ideas:

    ●Who’s Most Likely: Based on the ID title, who’s most likely to actually live that life?

    ●Secret Missions: Assign each guest a challenge tied to their identity. “Nap Consultant” must take a 3-minute power nap in the photo booth. “Flirtologist” has to compliment 3 people creatively.

    ●Guess the Backstory: Everyone guesses how someone ended up with their bizarre job title. Get ready for absurd storytelling.

4. Photo Booth Fun with Props

Photo Booth Fun with Props

 Set up a booth stocked with wigs, lab coats, tiaras, alien hats—whatever matches the roles. Don’t just stop at costumes; add oversized sunglasses, fake mustaches, feather boas, toy microphones, and glittery capes. Tailor the prop selection to the kinds of identities you’ve created for the group. If someone is a "Time-Traveling DJ," toss in some retro headphones. If someone’s the "Queen of Drama," bring out a toy crown and velvet shawl. The goal is to build a costume corner that lets every guest dive fully into character.

Encourage guests to pose with their novelty ID Order cards like they’re starring in a sitcom about their fictional career. Have them strike ridiculous poses—finger guns for the "Undercover Love Agent," jazz hands for "Dr. Dance Moves," or a serious mugshot face for the “Head of Glitter Security.” Make the photos even funnier by adding speech bubble signs like “This is going on my LinkedIn” or “Employee of the Month (Again).” It creates a lighthearted, shared experience and gives everyone something tangible to look back on.

Add a sign that says “Staff IDs Required for Access” or “Official Employee Photos Only” for maximum roleplay. Frame the booth like it’s a real office, backstage studio, or intergalactic customs checkpoint. Create a “waiting area” with a rope barrier or chairs to make it look official. Even better—print out a fake HR poster or company logo and hang it in the background of the booth to complete the illusion.

This setup doesn’t just give you great party pics—it keeps the energy high and the laughter constant. Throughout the night, guests will wander back for more photos as they get deeper into character or join new combos of fellow “employees.” Whether you’re printing them out on the spot or uploading them to a shared party album later, the memories captured here will be the ones everyone talks about (and tags) for weeks to come.

5. Signature Cocktails Based on the IDs

Signature Cocktails Based on the IDs

 Create a menu of ridiculous drinks to match the titles. For example:

 “CEO of Poor Decisions” = Strongest drink on the menu

 “Nap Consultant” = Espresso martini

 “Alien Ambassador” = Something neon with dry ice

Think of each drink as a liquid extension of someone’s new identity. The "Retired Love Guru" might come with a rose petal garnish and a cinnamon rim, while the "Chief of Chaos" could be a wild mix of mystery liquors and a Pop Rocks chaser. Have fun naming and styling each cocktail like it's part of a fictional company bar menu. Use colorful chalkboards, acrylic signs, or printed menus that describe each drink with absurd “job perks” or “employee warnings” (e.g., “May result in karaoke confidence” or “Do not operate emotional machinery”).

You can even label each drink with a mini version of the novelty ID card. Tape it to the glass, attach it with a cocktail umbrella, or clip it to the rim using mini clothespins. It’s branding—and boozing—all in one. Not only does it make every cocktail photo-worthy, but it ties the theme together beautifully. Plus, guests will want to try each other’s drinks just to match the madness to the identity, keeping the fun flowing (literally) all night long.

6. End the Night with Awards

End the Night with Awards

 Host a light-hearted award ceremony where everyone gets recognized for their commitment to the bit. This isn’t your average “thanks for coming” moment—this is your chance to end the night with laughter, applause, and a little friendly competition. Whether your guests stayed in character all night or just nailed the perfect costume, everyone loves a moment in the spotlight. Set up a small “stage” area or simply gather everyone around and take turns announcing the winners with over-the-top fanfare.

Ideas include:

 Best Costume Commitment – For the guest who fully embraced their identity, from outfit to attitude.

 Most Likely to Have This Job – For the person whose character was way too convincing.

 Lifetime Achievement in Partying – For the MVP who brought energy, humor, and maybe even a dance battle to the night.

Give them goofy prizes or framed versions of their novelty ID as a souvenir. You could even make custom certificates with their title and award printed in bold, ridiculous fonts. Toss in a small trophy, a bottle of something bubbly, or a crown made of glow sticks. It doesn’t have to be expensive—just funny, thoughtful, and memorable. Even a gold-spray-painted potato labeled “Party Legend” will do the trick.

This closing moment ties everything together and makes sure no one leaves without a smile. It’s a final round of applause for the creativity and chaos of the night—and a way to turn one unforgettable party into a cherished memory. Plus, the photos of your guests proudly holding their trophies or award certificates will be just as hilarious as everything that came before.
