If you are planning a hen party that spans across the whole weekend then a fun activity during the daytime can be a great hen party icebreaker – especially if your group includes a lot of girls that don’t know each other particularly well. Take a look at some stylish hen party ideas – from relaxing spa days to adrenaline fuelled bridge jumping.
Foodie Ideas
Is the bride a real foodie? Whether it’s making your own delicious treats or being served a fantastic meal, any hen day activity that includes food is sure to be a crowd pleaser!
Afternoon Tea
If you know the bride would love the idea of a vintage hen party then why not treat her to a delicious afternoon tea. You can enjoy a sophisticated afternoon of sipping tea (or champagne!) as you enjoy scones, jam and clotted cream. If the hen party includes a lot of people who don’t know each other well then it’s also a great quieter activity where the hens can get to know each other.
Cake Making
If you want to get stuck into your food then why not have a cookery class. Cake making is simple enough that everyone can enjoy it and you can learn how to bake and decorate cakes like a pro.
Pampering Ideas
If your bride is super glam and loves the idea of a day of pampering then there are some fun and relaxing ways you can celebrate.
Perfume Making
Why not feel like a celebrity for the day and come up with your own signature scent. Attend a perfume making class so each hen can create her own bespoke perfume – then you can all wear your signature scent on your evening out.
Vintage Makeovers
Throw the ultimate vintage hen party by having each of the hens styled in a vintage makeover – complete with hair, makeup and then a photo shoot. If you really want to make the most of your new found look then you could also encourage the hens to bring 1920’s inspired dresses for your evening out.
