We love to get just a little dramatic with our hens party themes. And why not? This is your chance to dress up, stay up, and celebrate the end of your unmarried days.
Even in modern times, when couples might have been living together for years before tying the knot, the tradition of a “final hurrah” prevails as a fun and memorable tradition of womanhood. Whether you want an intimate celebration with just your closest confidants or a wild night out on the town, a fun theme can elevate your party.
Some of these themes might seem a little ambitious to pull off solo. Why not enlist the professionals? Our directory is full of hens, bachelorette, and bucks party suppliers. Maybe you’re looking for a gourmet adventure with Kiff & Culture Tours. Or perhaps your style is 80s glam all the way, in which case 80s Hens should be your first port of call. Whatever your chosen theme, our professional and passionate suppliers can make it happen.
So, top-up your champagne and rally your bride squad. Here are our top hens party themes.
This Barbie is a BRIDE! With the roaring success of the Barbie movie, we’ve seen a resurgence in Barbie-themed bachelorette parties. Why not encourage each of your guests to dress as a different doll? With a bit of DIY, you can also create a Mattell-style box perfect for your social media snaps. Of course, you’ll want lots of pink, sparkles, and femininity. Come on, Barbie, let’s go party.
Are you the kind of bride who likes to get out in nature? A picnic is the perfect celebration for a low-key yet memorable afternoon. Plus there is the added bonus of choosing the view of your choice. If a picnic hens is right up your alley, but you’re unsure where to start, companies like Soulful Picnics will do all of the set-up and pack-down for you. You can even add a fun activity like flower crown making, terrarium building, or a painting session. Count us in!
Saddle up and get ready to say “Yeehaw!” with a country ‘n’ western extravaganza. The cowgirl theme is a cornerstone of hens party tradition. Get ready to rock your rhinestone-covered Akubra and a pair of knee-high boots. Seek out a country themed bar (bonus points if it has a bucking bull) and go heavy on the cow-print and rodeo motifs.
Glitter like a mirrorball for your hens with a Last Disco themed party. For this theme, all things sparkling are in. Opt for lots of silver accents and fringing, and be sure to wear your best dancing queen ensemble. We love this theme because it can be pulled off in the privacy of your own home or at the function space of your choice — it’s up to you!
Who said a night out on the town was a bachelorette prerequisite? If your ideal celebration is a night in spent getting giggly over coupes of prosecco in your jammies, we support you! For this theme, you’ll want pretty glassware and your most luxurious sleepwear — oh and a killer playlist to keep you dancing all night long.
Are you the kind of bride who has a mysterious — even dangerous — aura? A bond girl theme is perfect for nearlyweds who like their celebrations sophisticated and darkly romantic, this is the theme for you. Wear your most bombshell-esque dress, or, if you have that main character energy, why not opt for well-tailored tuxedos for your squad? After all, you are your own leading lady. Save us a martini.
Nothing says romance like Beyonce’s amorous anthem Drunk In Love. For this theme, go all out on the heart-shaped decorations — more is more! A pink and red colour scheme will turn your venue of choice into a love bubble for the celebration. Add heart-shaped glasses for social media snaps, and a themed cocktail, and you’ve got yourself a party. Enlist the help of the professionals with a dance party company like The Dance Palace — you’ll come away with memories and a choreographed routine. Turn up the Queen Bey classics and celebrate being a Feyoncé.
Oh, the noughties: the decade of maximalism and futurism. So named for the infamous “millennium bug”, Y2K is a theme close to many millennial and Gen X brides’ hearts. You might even still have some frosted glitter barrettes, inflatable furniture, and low-low-low-rise jeans that you can pull out of storage for the occasion. For an extra layer of fun, ask each of your attendees to dress as a Y2K icon — the options stretch from Paris Hilton to Neo from The Matrix to, of course, Britney.
