A handful of clear, constant rules works best: no real names (use nicknames), no pointing, drink with your wrong hand, the groom can't refuse a dare within reason. Announce them at the start so every slip-up is fair.
Forfeits: funny, not cruel
Breaking a rule earns a forfeit — a silly drink, a daft task, a small embarrassment. Keep every one on the right side of funny; nothing that could get someone hurt, arrested or thrown out of a booked venue.
The best man steers
A drunk group generates bad ideas late on. The best man's job is to green-light the funny ones and quietly veto anything heading somewhere that costs the group its booking or the groom his wedding-day condition.
