We’ve put together the best 2025 hen’s party themes so that your night really gets going.

2025 hen’s party themes for the modern bride

Era’s Party

Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour was the highest-grossing tour ever. As the number one-selling pop singer celebrated each of her eras, many fans (colloquially, Swifties!) chose their favourite era and dressed accordingly. From country to sequins and a bright red lip, Miss Swift’s versatility has made the costumes endless. 

If you or your friends are Swifties, you can relive the joy of the concert by having an Era’s Tour-themed hen’s. Pick your favourite era and dress up to the nines! If someone in the party isn’t the biggest Swiftie, consider this their initiation.

Are you a Swiftie? Celebrate her Eras!

Bride’s Era’s Party

Not a Swiftie yourself? Well, that doesn’t matter! We’ve all had eras of note. Have you had a bit of an emo phase? Perhaps you were a little too into the fake tan. Or perhaps you’ve walked the same path of many of us and worn eyeliner a little too dark and smudged. Well, whatever your noteworthy era – many of your friends will have been a witness to them. Considering this night is all about you, it’s time to celebrate those eras! 

A hen’s party to celebrate the hen is to celebrate her throughout all her years. A funny way to look back before looking to the future as her new era of ‘wife’!

Ru Paul’s Drag Race

If you’re looking to go completely over-the-top for your hen’s party, there’s nothing like some drag queens to tone down even the glitziest of hens. If the hen is a big fan of the cult reality show, why not use this as a way to celebrate! Drag queens know how to start a party and keep one going. 

Perhaps the guests aren’t comfortable dressing as glamorous and the queens themselves, but this doesn’t mean the party has to hold back. Drag queen bingo, paint and sip and a plethora of other activities can be found all over the place! It’s guaranteed to be sassy, sexy and a little bit cheeky. They’ll bring out the fire and fun from even the meekest guests.

Sip and paint

Looking for a hen’s party that you can take home a keepsake? Sip and paint is an ideal! It combines art and wine (iconic combo!). Sip and paint, Pinot and Picasso, whatever the moniker – the activity is perfect for hen’s parties that are looking to slow down, catch-up with one another and maybe stave off the dancefloor for just a little longer. 

Some of the sip and paint setups can come to you, keeping catering costs low and allowing you to host it in the comfort of your own home. Others have ready-to-go locations that can be decked out with all the hen’s paraphernalia you want – naughty straws optional!

Between 2 – 3 hours long, they’re ideal for those with babies or families at home and can’t carve out a long night. But for those looking to party into the wee hours of the morning, sip and paints can be the activity that kicks off the festivities. A pre-drinks of sorts!

Wine tasting

Sometimes things are classics for a reason – this is why the tried and tested wine tasting remains a popular hen’s party activity. Perfect for the foodie hen who loves pairing her delicate dishes with the ideal Riesling. 

For some states and cities, a winery is an easy journey. For others, wine tasting might be better at a fancy restaurant, maybe one the hen has always wanted to try. Private dining rooms, chef’s tasting menus and finding that perfect drop – there’s no better way to celebrate the bride-to-be.
