Here are a few hen party ideas to suit a variety of tastes and budgets:<\/p>\n

Arrange a chocolate making workshop<\/h3>\n

Nothing makes a group of girls happier than chocolate! Beginning your hen party with a chocolate making workshop can really set the tone for a day of girlish fun. As well as learning a bit about the history of chocolate you will get the chance to make your own delicacies and sample a fair few as well. Just be sure to leave some time between the workshop and dinner.<\/p>\n

Take a belly dancing lesson<\/h3>\n

Whether you visit a dance studio or get a private lesson in the comfort of your own home, a belly dancing session can be a fun way to break the ice and start the giggling at your hen party. After learning a few of the basic movements you should have the chance to put together group routine complete with coin scarves or veils.<\/p>\n

Go hot air ballooning<\/h3>\n

Whatever part of Australia you live in there is bound to be a local company offering spectacular hot air balloon rides that will make your hens party a truly memorable occasion. Finish off a peaceful hour spent floating through the sky with a traditional champagne breakfast before moving onto the rest of your day.<\/p>\n

Visit a day spa<\/h3>\n

For the ultimate in relaxation, why not visit a day spa for a girly day of pampering. Massages, facials and manicures can be combined with a few hours of relaxing by the pool and eating a delicious lunch. This is especially good for the stressed out bride that needs a break from wedding planning.<\/p>\n

Hire a party bus<\/h3>\n

Starting your night time celebrations with a swing is guaranteed if you a hire a party bus to tour the sights of your local city. Kitted out with music, lights and a bar, a party bus will provide your own personal nightclub on wheels, and will stop at all your favourite party destinations, finally dropping you at a venue of your choice.<\/p>\n

Prepare a few hen night games<\/h3>\n

Have a few hen night games up your sleeve for when the hen party needs an injection of fun. Provide a list of tasks for the bride to complete during the day, starting tame and building up to completely outrageous as the night goes on. Ask the groom to answer a few questions in advance and then ask the bride to guess his replies; every right answer deserves a prize, every wrong answer a forfeit.<\/p>\n

Plan a lunchtime restaurant crawl<\/h3>\n

A restaurant crawl is guaranteed to appeal to all the foodies amongst you. Pick a local area renown for good restaurants and cruise four or five, having a light course at each one. Mix and match foods from different countries, a variety of drinks, and decadent desserts to get that perfect long lunch.<\/p>\n

Make it a theme night<\/h3>\n

Match your activities and outfits to a particular theme. If you are ending the night in an 80s disco club, for example, dressing up in 80s gear can add a fun element to your hen party and attract a lot of attention at the same time.<\/p>\n

Most of the above ideas can easily be combined with more traditional hen party activities such as a gathering of friends and family at home or going out for dinner followed by dancing. Whatever type of hen party you choose, a little planning and imagination can ensure the bride has a fun and girly send off into married life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4418,"template":"","au_article_tag":[1549,172],"class_list":["post-32462","au-article","type-au-article","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","au_article_category-hensparty","au_article_tag-classy-hens-night","au_article_tag-hens"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au-article\/32462","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au-article"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/au-article"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au-article\/32462\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4418"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32462"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"au_article_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au_article_tag?post=32462"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
