How to Throw an Unforgettable Hen Party at Home
Are you thinking of throwing a hens party for your best friend? It can really be as great hosting it at home as going out because there are so many ways to make it really special, really fun, really life changing. The soon-to-be bride can have a memorable evening with a little creativity and proper preparation.
Whether she's a wild child, a laid-back queen, or somewhere in between, this is your guide to hosting the best hens party at home.
Create the perfect guest list
First, plan a guest list. Although a hen party is traditionally for the bridesmaids, involve close friends, relatives, and even some members of the groom's family as it is a chance to spend some time with those friends she could not take along for the bridal party.
Budgeting Wisely
Hosting a hen party at home doesn’t mean it’s going to be cheap. Food, drinks, décor, and activities can all quickly add up in costs. It's always best to discuss the budget with the hens before so you can set a spending limit. Once that is all sorted, you can begin planning the fun stuff! (Also read:

Fun and Fabulous Themes
Themed parties or hens party activities can definitely bring up the excitement. Select something that strikes a chord with the bride's personality. Here are a few ideas:
1. Dance Party
Hire a dance instructor for an energetic session where everyone learns a fun routine. Bonus: you can surprise wedding guests with a flash mob!
2. Backyard Laser Tag
Turn your backyard into a battlefield with laser tag gear. Decorate the obstacles, and let people dress up in their favourite army-inspired outfits.
3. Pool party
Have a pool? Create a resort vibe with loungers, cocktails, inflatable toys, and games like volleyball. For an extra splash, hire topless waiters to serve drinks.
4. Naughty Sculptures
Add some cheeky fun with an artsy twist. Guests can have a blast creating hilarious sculptures that can be taken back home, so this activity is memorable and entertaining.
5. Retro Glam
Bring the disco days back: sequins, glitters, and platform shoes, to mention the fabulous. Have fun by capturing a retro photo booth.
Cosy and Classy Ideas
1. Adult Slumber Party
Relive childhood sleepovers with a luxurious twist. Think cosy pyjamas, soft lighting, face masks, and snacks. Set up a mini bar for bubbly drinks and laughter-filled conversations.
2. Royal Afternoon Tea
Channel a Bridgerton-inspired afternoon with elegant tea, tiered treats, and spa vibes. Bring in a professional makeup artist for the regal touch and plentiful Instagram-worthy moments.
3. Masterclass Cocktail
Set up a DIY cocktail bar or hire a mixologist to teach you new tricks. Create a signature drink named after the bride-to-be and enjoy delicious concoctions all night.
