10 fun things to do for your hens party

Your big day is approaching and you want to celebrate with one last hurrah with the girls. But because every bride-to-be is different, one hens party does not suit all.

While backyard parties with all the quirky hens attire is still a popular go-to if you are on a bit of a budget, but there are plenty more options out there if you want to get a bit adventurous.

Here are some fun things you can do for your hens party.

Cosmos and chats

You can go the pre-mix cocktail bucket and blender at home, or splurge a bit and venture out to a venue near you.

Or you could go with a company like Liquid Infusion, who specialise in hen’s parties and send their most dashing young barmen in for the occasion.

The best part about the latter option, is there is no clean-up and you can spend the evening in one spot or use your cocktail event as a prequel to other adventures later in the night.

Bake up a storm

If you like things a little sweet and more subdued, you can enjoy a cooking class with your gals. The smell of freshly baked goodies invokes a sense of fun, adventure and nostalgia in everyone, so make sure you pack a camera to capture all of the fun.

Places like The Sconery offer everything from cupcake baking to high tea classics.

If bar hopping is your thing, or you just want a fun way to get from A to B, you could look at a stretch limo or something with a bit more pizzaz to get you there.

You can get creative and build a ‘golf course’ where each location is the next hole, or theme it around something the hen loves.Companies like Get Loose can be tasked with organising everything for you, so you don’t have to stress.
