For a low-key hen’s day filled with delicious food and drinks, we love the idea of having a styled pop-up picnic.

You’ll be able to relax and enjoy quality time with your bride tribe in a fancy setting as trays of petite pastries and freshly baked scones are served. Pour the tea, pop the bubbly, and tuck in for a delightfully delicious hen’s party!
