4 Great Hen Party Ideas

Organising the hen party is usually the responsibility of the maid of honour and the bridesmaids. There’s a lot of pressure these days to make it absolutely amazing and blow all other hen parties out of the water. The days of a nice meal and a night out on the town with an ‘L’ plate strapped to your back are long gone. Hen parties have gone big! We’ve put together 4 of the best ideas for a hen party with a difference...

·       A burlesque themed night: We girls love a good excuse to dress up, and what could be more fun than getting kitted out in a burlesque style outfit. Get the hens strapped into corsets, add some ruffles and a few feathers and hit the town. It’ll make for some great memories and photos for the bride to treasure from her ‘last night of freedom’.

·       A day out at Go Ape: If you want to do something a little different that gets your adrenaline pumping then try an adventure day out at somewhere like Go Ape. You’ll be strapped into a harness and will spend the day whizzing through a forest on a series of zip lines! After all that fresh air and activity you’ll certainly have earned a glass of wine or two!

·       A cupcake decorating class: Cupcakes are everywhere at the moment, and they just seem to keep getting prettier and cuter! A cupcake decorating class is a great hen party activity, and you get to eat cake at the end of it, what’s not to love?! Keep an eye on voucher sites like Groupon as they quite often feature discounted cupcake decorating classes throughout the country.

·       Go clay pigeon shooting: If you really want to do something out of the ordinary then why not go clay pigeon shooting? A day in the countryside being taught how to handle a shot gun and bring down clay pigeons can help the bridal party to de-stress before the big day and take out any pent up frustration!
