So, your friend is just about to get married, and you want to do something special and unforgettable together before she says the big yes. If you don’t have enough experience in organizing hen parties this can seem like a lot of work, but in reality, it’s actually pretty simple. Here are some hen party ideas - some cheap, some lux - and it’s completely up to you to decide which one seems like the most doable option. Take a look. 

A spa weekend

Is there anything that can relax you better than a massage and sauna? If you think that the bride-to-be is a bit stressed out and could use some relaxing before the big day, a spa resort is the best option. You will spend the weekend sipping bubbly, getting pampered and enjoying each other’s company. Many spa centers offer special hen packages, so you don’t have to worry about a thing.

Throw a themed party

If Halloween is your favorite day of the year, this is the perfect opportunity to put your masks on and your morals down and have some fun with your friends. For example, you can organize a Murder Mystery Evening. Assign the roles, think of a scenario, put on some period-appropriate costumes and solve a mystery of who’s the killer. You can choose to throw any other themed party: a Disney princess party, a superhero party or choose any theme you know the bride will enjoy. Costumes and accessories are obligatory. 

Organize a scavenger hunt

This is a great way to get to know the bride and girls a little bit better. Ask the girls to bring some of their favorite items or trinkets, make a list of clues and a map, and send them onto an unforgettable scavenger hunt. You can also do a bar variation of a treasure hunt. Make a list of items guests need to retrieve from different bars and whoever collects the majority of things is the winner and wins a prize! Just make sure you don’t forget to bring a camera!

An action hen party for adrenaline junkies

If your bride-to-be is a well-known adrenaline junkie, organize an action-packed weekend full of different activities that will certainly get your blood pumping. You can go ziplining, rock climbing, surfing, kayaking or whatever you think will satisfy the hen’s thirst for adrenaline. But remember, safety should always come first, so let the alcohol flow only after you’ve defeated all the obstacles. 

Go old school with a sleepover

If a sleepover used to be your favorite activity, it’s only appropriate to do it one last time. Keep all the basic elements of a proper sleepover, but add alcohol, and you’ll be in for an all-nighter of gossips, laughs and story-sharing. You can play twister, truth or dare, or charades, or you can rent some chick flicks or horror movies and enjoy. Also, you can get unique wristbands at Amazing Wristbands with your names, date or some inside joke to commemorate the event. If all the girls are together, there’s bound to be some fun stories to tell after.

A fun vacation

If you want to be completely sure that you threw the best possible hen party, hop a plane and have a bridesmaid-style vacation! When you arrive, you can take a naughty striptease class, have an unforgettable night out or splurge on an all-day shopping spree. By going on a vacation somewhere far away, you can be sure that no one knows you there, so you can let your hair down and get wild.

There you have it - some amazing ideas for a perfect hen party. Make sure that you plan everything out and remember – have fun!
