Hen Party Themes and Ideas


Sam - Hen Party IdeasComing up with a good hen party theme is as important as choosing the correct venue and inviting the right people. A party theme helps to pull the whole event together so whatever you do, don’t leave it out as without it your hen party could be a boring flop!

When deciding on a theme remember to consider the bride-to-bes preference and ideas of fun. Some classic hen party themes include dressing as nurses, policewomen, cowgirls, nuns and saucy devils.

Here are some other great ideas to help make your hen night one to remember:


  • Get some cool hen party gifts for the night.
  • Play hen party games like ‘Truth or Dare’, ‘Mr.&.Mrs quiz’, etc.
  • If partying from home hire a stripper, have a make-over evening before hitting the local club.
  • Visiting an exclusive club, get there in style by hiring a limousine (not as expensive as you may think!).
  • Why should the boys have all the fun? Try paintball or quad-biking for something out of the ordinary.
  • Think luxery and pampering. Visit a spa, enjoy a sauna or Jacuzzi after a swim in a heated pool, then have a relaxing professional massage, manicure, and pedicure.

So remember, pick a great theme, some fun activities and make your hen night one to remember for a lifetime!

3 Fun Hen Party Games


Sam - Hen Party IdeasHen party celebrations is all about getting the atmosphere just right, so what better way to create a buzz than with some great drinking games and risque dares?

Naughty Treasure Hunt

Lets kick things off with a naughty little treasure hunt. Take a minute or two to list a number of items to gather (be creative as possible!). Some ideas for items are warm men’s underwear, something phallic shaped (bigger the better) and of course a kiss from a fine looking bloke (has to be in front of the other girls!) Go hunting together or split up into teams.

Pass The Balloon

One of the most popular hen party games is ‘Pass The Balloon’. You need to find some lads to play with and make two teams and line up as boy girl, boy girl. Blow up your long shapped balloons and start passing them from one person to the next down along the line. No hands thought, the balloons must be gripped with your knees.

Kiss The Donkey

Time for a Hen party game called ‘Kiss The Donkey’. It’s a simple game to play but has a wicked twist in its tail. Sit players in a circle and arrange as girl boy, girl boy all the way around. The first player holds up a beer bottle and kisses it in a particular place (for example, the bottle neck). They then announce to the other players, “I kissed the donkey on it’s neck”. They then pass the bottle to their right. Each player repeats the process, but must kiss the donkey in a unique place. The game then starts again, but this time the bottle is passed to the left.

This is the good bit, the twist that surprises everyone is when you announce to the players to kiss the player to their right where they kissed the bottle and again for the person on their left. What usually happens is the player on the right gets a kiss in an acceptable place, and the person on the left is kissed on a more imaginative part of their body! LOL!

New Budget Hen Party Trends

Forget going abroad and spending a fortune on a hen weekend. Get creative at home and have as much fun.


Among the doom and gloom of the recession the attitude to hen parties has shifted somewhat. The emphasis for a hen party (or more commonly, a hen weekend) is more about keeping costs low but still doing something fun and memorable.

Gone are the days when one in three hen parties went abroad and spending in general is about a fifth of what it was in boom years. But thriftiness is not such a bad thing as hen party guests are less likely to desperately scramble for excuses to miss the event due to money concerns. With the new affordable hen weekend everyone can take part without fears of not being able to pay the rent the following week! :)

Hens Are Getting Crafty

And hens are getting a little more creative as a result. Many hen parties now enjoy art classes (with nude male models of course…). Craft workshops cover everything from cupcake decorating to crochet. If that’s all a little too exciting, you’ll be glad to know that many hens are also enjoying activities like go-karting and paintballing, traditionally reserved fir stag parties only.

You’ll also be releaved to hear that visits to night-clubs is still on the cards for many hen parties!

Hen Party Dance Class Ideas

Dance classes are great fun for a hen party and can really set the mood for the rest of the night. Why not match your hen night theme to a dance class and once you have the moves down go hit the town!

I came across this fun video today of a “Dolly Parton Dance Class” and just had to post it! I hope that’s a wig the girl in black is wearing :) . Something like this is a perfect idea for hen party games. Have fun!

Funny Hen Party Game

Hysterical Hen Party Game – See Video Below


Hen party games can really get your party going. One popular game is the toilet roll relay.

Your companion holds a toilet roll between her legs and you hold a plunger between your legs and try to get the roll onto it. You can’t use your hands of course, and it’s not as easy as it sounds! When you have the roll on your plunger your companion runs back to the start and the relay begins again.

To see exactly how to play this game, just watch the following hilarious video. This is a so funny you’ll watch it more than once, even if it’s just for the cackles from the commentators. Check out the ‘hip moves’ on some of these ladies who have obviously done something like this before!

You’re friends will thank you for sending them a link to this page so they can enjoy it too!

Hysterical Hen Party Game Video

Probably best played with a few drinks on board but make sure you don’t break anything if you fall like the lady at the start of the video!

Hen party Themes

Dress For Hen Party Do


Dressing up for your hen night will add that extra element of fun to the festivities and help make the occasion unforgettable. Pubs and clubs in particular are the perfect setting for outrageous and saucy outfits so be creative with your hen night theme for that last wild night of freedom!

One of the benefits of choosing a theme is that it makes it easier for all the hens when deciding what to wear. For example, if you agree the theme is Angels and Devils, have half of the hens dress as Angels, half as the Devils.

These outfits can include a white or red dress (short and tight as you like!), red horns or a halo, whip or a wand. Draw straws for who gets to wear what for extra fun.

Another idea is to choose and era as the basis for a hen dress-up theme. How about a racy ‘classical look’, or go extreme Eighties with ankle warmers (you do remember them, don’t you?), big hair, glossy make-up and flowing scarves.

You can also impersonate famous people or bands as part of your hen party games. Circulate a photo of a celebrity and require everyone to dress like her for the night. Or pick a favourite girl band and have each hen impersonate a band member. Spice Girls is still a favourite for this one!

Classic dress up options for hen parties includes the ‘Naughty Nurse’, ‘Saucy French Maid’, ‘The Playboy Look’ and many more. The choice is endless and don’t forget the sashes and ball-n-chain for the bride to be!

Have fun!

How to Plan a Classy Hen Party

The stereotypical hen night conjures images of noisy, wild, scantly clad women let loose on the town in a no holds-barred drinking binge.

If that does NOT appeal to you as a good night out then the following ideas will help you plan a classy hen night that is every bit as much fun.

So read on and find out how the class ladies get their kicks with a stylish hen party do.

Health Spa

health spaWhy not start the day with a pampering at a health spa? Go for the full works including sauna, massage, facial treatment, exfoliation and heated pool. Follow that with a relaxed lunch with your hens for good conversation and recounting fun times you’ve had together.

shopRetail & Coffee

Follow lunch with a little retail therapy; tour the local boutiques and high street shops for some compulsive buying. Stop for coffee along the way and just take your time to enjoy the day and each others company.

Cheese & Wine

A popular classy hen night option is to have a Cheese & Wine evening with close female friends. Choose a wide selection of cheeses from strong to mild tasting and from different countries. You’ll be surprised at the variety of cheeses available at local supermarkets, but if possible also try gourmet cheese shops and delicatessens for something extra special.


Again, do the same with your wine selection and test your guests on the type, vintage and ingredients of the wine. Can they hazard a guess at what country or region the wine is from? What fruits or spices can they identify?

Ask the hens to bring photos from favourite times together and laugh about old times.

Evening Entertainment

Head to a jazz bar or other live music venue for drinks, entertainment and more chat. You can decide to head home or go to a dance club to finish the perfect classy hen night.

Hen Party Games


Free hen night party games are a great way to make sure the laughs keep coming during the entire hen party. Many of these free hen party games can be played while your out on the town so enjoy girls!

Mr. And Mrs – For a funny mr and mrs hen party game, ring the Groom and ask him to answer 20 questions about him and his bride to be. For example:
* Where did they first kiss?
* Does he prefer silk or lace underwear (on her!)
* Where did they first ‘do it’?
* You get the idea… ;)

discoDraw straws for:
* Who has to Sing Karaoke alone
* Who has to do a raunchy dance on the floor alone – do this at a disco bar or nightclub before the dance floor is full!
* Who has to collect 3 mens un-used condom – embarrassing!

Truth Or Dare – this is an all time classic, use your imagination!

Pass the parcel with naughty presents inside – Whoever unwraps the present has to wear/use the item in front of the group – great fun!

Pin the willie on the man – like pin the tail on the donkey but … em… different. Don’t forget the blindfold and be careful where you stick that pin if you have had a few drinks!


Twister – Get the ‘Twister’ board game out after a few drinks – play ‘underwear twister’ for extra laughs!

Hen Night Fancy Dress Theme – everyone has to dress up as a nurse, cowgirl or French maid – be creative!

Burst The Johnnie – fastest one to blow up a condom until it bursts wins and gets to dare the slowest to do something.

Not everyone will be willing or able to keep up – for those people here are some forfeits:

* Remove your bra without taking your top off
* Perform a lap dance for the bride to be
* Kiss the next person who walks through the door
* Ask 3 men if you can feel their biceps

Who To Invite To The Hen Party

The Core Friends

This starts off with the core hens. That includes you (of course) and probably one or two others. These are the guests the hen just could not have a hen party without. If they were not going to be there it just wouldn’t be worth doing!

These hens will want to be there so make sure you give plenty of notice because if they can’t make it due to lack of planning they will be sorely missed (and it will always be your fault, yikes! Pressure!)

Extended Friends

Next there’s the extended network of friends. Girls the hen gets on well with or is related to. She might not see some of them from one end of the year to the next and their presence is not guaranteed. In many cases the core hens would prefer if they didn’t attend as they’re not part of the inner circle. Still, best to invite them with plenty of notice!

The “We Have To Invite Them” List

This section of the list can be a really party stopper and consists of friends of friends and future in-laws of the hen. These are people the core group of hens hardly know which can make it difficult for the party to flow. It’s also hard for the poor hen as she’ll be under pressure to be on her best behaviour all night.

Remember, they may not relish the thoughts of attending the hen party either (for the same reasons mentioned above), so have a little chat with the hen about this group. They may be happy with a separate night out in their neck of the woods!

Budget Hen Parties for Students

Budget Hen Party Ideas

If you are getting married while still a student there are two main factors you’ll have to bear in mind when considering hen party ideas.

Hen Party Costs

Students are notoriously short of cash, this may be the case for the hen and probably for the majority of guests (most will be students no doubt).

Schedule Your Hen Party

This won’t be too difficult to get right if you plan well in advance. Most students start and finish the college around the same time. They also have holidays at the same time of the college calendar year so planning a hen weekend away should be a breeze. Just remember to give plenty of warning as most students live an active social life and may have plenty of offers, so make sure you get them well in advance before they make a comment to attend another party!

What To Do On Your Hen Night?

Because of budget constraints a foreign hen party holiday is probably out of the question. So too is expensive restaurants and activities. In this case it’s best to keep it intimate so here’s some suggestions.

  1. Rent a holiday cottage in a small town or village in the country. Splitting the costs of the rental between all the hens will mean the cost to individual is cheap.
  2. Tell all your guests to bring their favourite beauty treatment, enough to share, for the make over of the century! Everyone takes turns at makeovers.
  3. Tell all your guests to bring ingredients for their favourite cocktails, again, with enough to share. You can also pick-up a couple bottles of inexpensive wine from a supermarket to bring with you.
  4. Bring a stereo and lots of girly music to get the party rolling. Classics like “I Will Survive” and “It’s Raining Men” are obligatory!
  5. Get the phone numbers of a couple of take-away restaurants in the area (in advance) and order out. Lots of delicious food without the hassle!

That’s it! You have the makings of a perfect girly night in without huge expense for anyone. Enjoy the student hen party of the year!
