5 REASONS YOU'LL LOVE A BEAUTY BAR AT YOUR HEN'S EVENT

21/12/2019

0 Comments

 
Beauty Bar
AUTHOR: HOLLY, 'LUXIT' BEAUTY EDITOR
If you’re planning your hen’s event and wondering how to add that X-factor, you might be the perfect candidate for an at-home beauty bar, offering your friends and family the chance to treat themselves and have their own glam squad at the ready. The team from LUXit, Australia’s premier mobile and beauty concierge, share their top 5 ways you can enjoy a beauty bar on this special (and fun-filled) day or night!

FOR ACCESS TO FREE HEN PARTY/BRIDAL SHOWER PRINTABLES, CLICK HERE :-)

A BEAUTY BAR WILL HAVE YOU...


​ONE: GETTING READY FOR YOUR CLOSE UP

No matter what you’re planning for the day (or night!), starting your hen’s festivities with a bespoke beauty bar pop-up at your home or venue will really set the tone for the fun to come. You might opt for yourself and all your girlfriends to enjoy a complete makeup look application, or a quick touch-up before an evening out.

No matter what you choose, everyone will be looking and feeling their best (and everyone will be camera-ready for the hundreds of snaps you’ll be taking!).
Glam beauty bar
TWO: MAKING TIME FOR CONNECTION
Incorporating a beauty bar into your hen’s day or night means you can all unwind (with a glass of champagne!) and enjoy each other’s company - and there’s something for everyone.

​You might have a manicure station, a false lash application and a pick-me-up massage; so your guests are not only celebrating this exciting time for you, but also getting to really catch up with one another while treating themselves to some beauty touch-ups.
Bachelorette Party pamper night
THREE: GETTING A LITTLE ADVENTUROUS
There’s no better time than your hen’s night to be adventurous and try that winged liner, that glitter lip or that high-pony - and with your wedding makeup trial sorted and your go-to elegant look confirmed, take the opportunity to have fun with your beauty routine for the night, all with an expert hand at the ready to make it happen!

​You might even like to designate a “signature look” for the evening inspired by your favourite celebrity red-carpet moment, or a colour-scheme for your whole group, and our LUXit makeup artists will take care of the rest. 
DIY Beauty bar
FOUR: CALLING IN THE EXPERTS
This environment is a great way to learn expert skills and ask those burning beauty questions.

For our LUXit beauty bars, for example, you’ll be visited by our expert LUXit Partners across all areas of expertise - from celebrity facialists to in-demand hair stylists, you can rest assured that yourself and your guests will be completely taken care of.

​During the celebration you might like a quick how-to workshop for the perfect at-home blow dry, or a guide to contouring 101 - whatever you’re looking to learn, our LUXit Partners are ready to impart their wisdom for a hen’s event that all of your guests will really take something away from.
Beauty bar hair salon
FIVE: INDULGING AT HOME
For those looking to really slow down for their hen’s (perhaps you’re not the partying kind, or you have your wedding just around the corner so you want to give the late night a miss), why not bring the spa to you? Think head & shoulder massages, pedicures and facials all under one roof; the perfect custom indulgence for a smaller group.

​You’ll not only be able to relax in the company of your friends, but you’ll enjoy this down time as the bride-to-be before the big day approaches. This is also a great way to thank your maid of honour, bridesmaids and family members who have dedicated their time and energy to your upcoming nuptials!
Pedicures
With the rise of the on-demand economy, professional beauty & grooming services have never been easier to access, and LUXit combines luxury and expertise that will really make your hen’s event something to remember!

PRIVATE WINE TOURS: 5 WAYS TO ENSURE A SUCCESSFUL EVENT!

27/9/2019

0 Comments

 
Private Wine Tours
AUTHOR: NEP OF 'KANGAROO HOPPING TOURS'
You've been nominated as the matron of honour and it's your responsibility to organise the Hen's Day. Now comes the hardest part... where to from here? You start searching for Hen Party ideas or activities to get the group out. With so much to choose from, it can be a daunting task. But then you come across an option where a lot of the planning is done for you: private wine tours in beautiful locations such as the Yarra Valley!

FOR ACCESS TO FREE HEN PARTY/BRIDAL SHOWER PRINTABLES, CLICK HERE :-)

WHY A PRIVATE WINE TOUR?

When you think of a hen party, it's all about having fun, creating new memories, sharing new experiences and, as a bonus, it involves wine - right?

With a private winery tour, you can expect all of this and more!

Hosted and coordinated from start to finish, all the leg work will be done for you. Meaning, as an organiser, there is very little for you to do. Just confirm your numbers and let your tour operator know what you'd like included to suit the group budget.
Yarra Valley Wineries

WHAT TO EXPECT ON PRIVATE WINE TOURS

The door-to-door service will take you winery hopping where you can enjoy scenic views and wine tastings at popular and boutique wineries.

You get your own driver and exclusive access to the tour vehicle; no sharing with other groups. The hosted packages are there to facilitate the day for you and are always available to take group photos if you wish. 
There will be so much to sample and so many ways to add colour to your day! In the Yarra Valley, for example, cheese, chocolate, scrumptious foods, make your own flower crown classes, sweeping views and many photo opportunities are all available.

​And with everything behind the scenes taken care of for you (such as coordinating venue bookings, calculating travel time between venues, and planning the itinerary to your criteria), all you have to do is be ready for the fun at pick up time!
Yarra Valley wine tour

FRIENDS WITH DIETARY REQUIREMENTS?

Not a problem! Private winery tours can assist in organising the finer details to make sure everyone is catered for and does not miss out on the fun. Just let your host know before the event if anyone in the group is vegan, vegetarian, pregnant or has food intolerances.

Our goal is to accommodate everyone, and we find that passing on all relevant information to the wineries is important for a smooth day out.

LOOKING FOR A WOW FACTOR?

How about having your Hen's event captured from the sky? That's right, drone video and photography! Long after the day is over, re-live the highlights with a takeaway video clip which is offered by Nep, a licenced drone operator at 'Kangaroo Hopping Tours'! 

MAKE IT MEMORABLE

The hen's day is the second notable event before the wedding day. It's a day where you let your hair down, get to know the closest people of the bride, share secrets, laugh from the belly and have fun!

​Make it memorable with offerings from the Yarra Valley (or, if you're in another state, the closest wine region) and the people that are there to facilitate it all. No matter what the group budget is, you are guaranteed to have a great time!

DISCOVER WHAT IT’S LIKE TO BE SKY-HIGH WITH A SPECTACULAR CIRCUS THEME PARTY!

1/7/2019

Circus Theme Party
AUTHOR: ELOISE OF 'CIRCUS AKIMBO'
Wedding planning can be stressful, and sometimes the bride-to-be might feel like running away from it all.

So why not let her?
​
Why not grab her closest friends and family, and run away to the circus for a day?!

FOR ACCESS TO FREE HEN PARTY/BRIDAL SHOWER PRINTABLES, CLICK HERE :-)

RUNNING AWAY TO THE CIRCUS

It’s one thing to go to the circus and see the aerialists fly over your head, but getting up there yourself is a whole different experience.
​
Learning to climb high and hang upside down is not only incredibly fun, but will also help your hen relax. After all, it’s hard to worry about that upcoming wedding when you’re feet aren’t on the ground!
Adult Circus Theme Party

WHAT HAPPENS AT AN ADULT CIRCUS PARTY?

You will learn a whole lot of new skills (with plenty of Instagramable moments to capture along the way)!

​For example, the basics of aerial skills, trapeze and lyra (i.e. the aerial hoop) will have you working up a sweat, whilst simultaneously leaving the whole party amazed at what their bodies can do. And while some guests may be a bit nervous at the start of the class (feeling as though they’re not strong enough, fit enough, brave enough, or anything else enough), experienced trainers will soon put their mind at ease, making sure they’re comfortable, having an amazing time and wanting more by the end!
​
Following the actual lesson, these new skills of yours can be celebrated by sipping on a glass of wine and chowing down on some delicious food (all of which you will definitely deserve!). You can also have a giggle and re-live your favourite (or most hilariously awkward) moments by scrolling through the hundreds of photos you snapped throughout the day.
Adult Circus Party

ADD TO THE FUN WITH CIRCUS COSTUMES

And if that’s not enough, this type of party is also perfect for the hen who loves any excuse to dress up. Whether you encourage the group to arrive with a similar style of performer makeup (colourful eyes and lips, for example), clown makeup (rosy cheeks, dramatic eyes, red nose and red lips) or even in a set dress code (such as bright colours or patterned bows); it will only add to the fun, laughter and photo ops on the day.
​
Just remember that this type of experience will require clothing that can’t get caught in equipment, and that you can easily move around in. The golden rules are to wear anything that you can move in and be upside-down in, as well as no zippers!

To make sure everyone can join in and have a great time, specify the type of clothing allowed on your invitations (and if you’re the one choosing what everyone will wear, make sure it’s something suitable for the class)!
Circus Costumes

ARE YOU READY TO CELEBRATE CIRCUS STYLE?

Everyone wants to feel strong, amazing and confident in their body – and you will feel all of this and more whilst having the time of your life and learning new skills.

At Circus Akimbo we offer circus classes with a variety of extras to make the planning as stress-free as possible. And, most importantly, we have experienced trainers who will look after you and tailor the entire party to your bride-to-be; meaning everyone will have an amazing time.
​
So why not bring your best friend and her closest pals along to the circus and feel like the super women you are?!

HOW TO HOST AN UNFORGETTABLE PAMPER PARTY!

7/6/2019

Pamper party
​AUTHOR: MEL DRIVER OF 'EMBALM SKINCARE'
Planning your wedding can be so stressful and time-consuming it feels like a full-time job in itself.

Why not make your hens party something that will help relieve that stress, rather than add to it? Get the girls together and have a girls night in pamper party.
​
Set the mood for the night with some relaxing music for your guests to arrive to. Search for ‘Smooth Jazz’ playlists on YouTube or Spotify.

SET THE SCENE

Light some scented candles to give the room a calm atmosphere. Choose scents proven to enhance relaxation, such as lavender or vanilla.
Pamper party ideas

PAMPER IN STYLE

Before your guests arrive, set up stations around the room with:
  • A portable foot spa and towels (add a drop of peppermint oil to the water to leave feet smelling fresh).
  • A table with a bowl of water, some hand scrub and hand towels (if you don’t have a hand scrub available, it’s easy to whip some up with just white sugar and coconut or olive oil).
  • A table with natural hand cream for hand massages. Start at the base of the hand and work your way towards the fingers in slow, concentric circles.
  • A table with nail polishes and cotton tips (depending on how close it is to the wedding day, you will want to make sure the nail polish is the right colour for members of the bridal party and that application is neat and tidy).
​Rotate around the stations in pairs or groups.

NEXT UP... A MINI FACIAL

The benefits of a DIY mini facial are endless. It can instantly make your skin look radiant and it helps to keep your skin in optimum health. It’s also a great way to unwind and treat yourself.


STEP 1
Be sure to take your makeup off before you begin your pamper party.


STEP 2: FACIAL STEAMING
Do the facial steaming first to open up pores so that the face mask can penetrate deep and nourish the skin. You can use rooibos, chamomile or green tea. Add 1 tablespoon of loose tea to a bowl, pour over hot water and wait a couple of minutes so you don’t burn your face with the hot steam. When the temperature is right, place your face over the bowl and place a towel over your head.
Do this for about 5 to 8 minutes.


STEP 3: FOLLOW UP WITH A DIY FACE MASK
Cucumber is one of the best kitchen ingredients to soothe, heal, and re-hydrate dry skin. Combined with Greek yoghurt or natural plain yoghurt, you can create an awesome face mask to nourish your skin and make it supple and smooth again!
​
Yoghurt contains antibacterial and antibiotic properties that help treat bacteria. It deep cleanses, nourishes and softens the skin. Only use plain, unsweetened, and unflavoured yoghurt to avoid any skin irritations and rashes.


Ingredients per person:
½ Cucumber
1 tablespoon yoghurt

Directions:
Blend the ingredients into a puree.


Pat dry with a towel and apply a thick coat of the face mask to your face and neck, avoiding the eye area. Leave on for 10 to 15 minutes. When the time is up, gently rinse off the face mask using lukewarm water.

Pat dry with a soft clean towel.


STEP 4
Apply a hydrating, natural moisturiser.

IF DIY RELAXATION IS NOT YOUR STYLE...

You might prefer to hire a mobile massage service and all take turns having professional massages in a separate room.
Professional massage

HIRE A (TOPLESS) BARTENDER

​To add an element of fun to the evening, hire a bartender to come and make cocktails for all the girls or find one who will teach a class on making cocktails with what you have at home.

SNACKS

For a simple, yet indulgent, treat you can’t go past fresh fruit and chocolate fondue.

Melt the chocolate slowly in the microwave or on the stove top, with the chocolate in a bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Prepare and serve in a bowl right before it’s time to eat.

​Fruits like strawberries, banana pieces and apple slices will always be winners here, but you can experiment with others like pineapple and pear.

​Have separate bowls of white chocolate, milk chocolate and dark chocolate to add variety without much extra effort.
Chocolate fondue

CHICK FLICKS

After you’re done pampering each other, put on your dressing gowns and slippers, and get comfortable watching a classic chick flick. This would also be a great time to pair up and give each other neck and shoulder massages.
​
As Anne Lamott once wrote – “Joy is the best makeup”, so have a pampering night in with the girls and give yourself that beautiful glow that comes from being happy and relaxed!

CLASSY HEN PARTY IDEAS: 10 CREATIVE WAYS TO WOW YOUR BRIDE-TO-BE!

Classy Hen Party Ideas
AUTHOR: BEC OF 'FOR EVERY HEN'
​Whether your best friend is a creative soul, you want to do something unique as a group, or you’re simply after a way to celebrate that is different to the ‘typical’ hen’s night style, this blog is for you. Fun and unlike anything you have ever done before, the wonderfully imaginative and classy hen party ideas below will definitely not disappoint. Enjoy!

ART CLASS (WITH FOOD & WINE!)

If you would like to try your hand at painting and/or drawing, an art party is the perfect solution!

'Get the ladies together and celebrate your bride-to-be with an experience like no other – painting your own masterpiece with a glass of bubbles in-hand!' says Cork & Canvas. 'BYO drinks and nibbles, with all art materials, aprons, glassware supplied. All you need to do is sit back and have fun while talented professional artists guide you step-by-step in getting your Picasso on!'
​
Not only a fun way for guests to express themselves, there are also no prerequisites (other than a willingness to give it a go); meaning even those who don’t consider themselves as ‘the arty type’ will be able to relax, have a blast and create something special whilst hanging out with their friends.

​As Sophia says, '
grab your bridesmaids, your favourite bottle of red, and let’s Van Gogh!'
Creative Hen

BLINDFOLDED MEALS

If your best friend is anything like me, a celebration that includes a selection of gourmet dishes will go down an absolute treat! But how do you incorporate food in a creative fashion? How do you take a normal, everyday experience and make it extraordinary?

Let me give you a hint... blindfolds!

Just one of the unique dining experiences available at Chefin, Blindfolded Dinners do away with etiquette and ‘replace manners with heightened senses’; meaning you will ‘pick up flavours, aromas and textures you’ve never experienced before’! Complete with your own private chef and a customised menu (amongst other things), this is an unforgettably yummy, stress-free and fun dining experience that will leave your foodie hen and all of her friends wanting more!
Classy Hens Day Ideas

COOKING CLASSES

Get creative in the kitchen with your closest pals! From chocolate or cheese making courses through to pasta making, there are so many options when it comes to expanding your cooking knowledge. Watch, learn and get hands on, produce something delicious, and use your new skills at home to re-create the dessert or dish time and time again!
​

Interested to know what such an experience would entail? At the Mudputty’s ‘Pasta Making & Italian Sauces Cooking Class’, for example, you will not only learn how to make and shape pasta from scratch, but also how to create three delicious Italian pasta sauces and a traditional Italian dessert. You’ll then get to enjoy the feast you created along with some wine #getinmybelly!
​

With most classes designed for all skill levels and people of all ages, this inclusive activity idea is a great way for your hen to celebrate with parents, grandparents and even younger siblings, friends and/or family.
Classy Hen Party

​SURPRISE DINING

Another great way to incorporate food into your celebration is by taking a walk on the wild side and taking part in a secret dining event!

That's right! Businesses such as 'Secret Foodies' (pictured) will take your everyday dinner-and-drinks experience to new heights - with the destination of your dining being a mystery to everyone, including the host, until 2 hours before you take your seats! With warehouses, laneways, heritage listed barns and even exclusive parks on the menu, your group is in for one amazing foodie surprise.
Classy Bachelorette Party Activities

DANCE CLASS

For the hen whose got rhythm (or doesn’t, this will be fun either way!), why not learn ALL the right moves by booking yourselves in for a dance class?!

With so many great styles to choose from (ranging from Twerking and Beyonce through to Burlesque and the Charleston), your best friend and her girls will soon be giggling, shimmying, popping and dropping their way towards mastering (or at least trying to master!) the art that is dance.

But probably the best part of this activity is that the fun doesn’t stop once the class is over. Rather, this is the time when you get to share your new skills with the world! Can you imagine? A flash mob featuring your hen and her excited gals right in the middle of a restaurant or public place? Or nailing the routine in the middle of a club dance floor when that one particular song just happens to play (cue sneaky request from the maid of honour)?
​
For a fabulous example of what you can expect out of a hen party dancing experience, check out the ‘Diva-licious’ moves in the ‘F is for Dance’ (a dance school specialising in hen's nights) video below!

FLOWER CROWN WORKSHOP

If you’re searching for a creative idea that allows everyone (children and adults alike) to take a walk on the arty side of life, then you should definitely consider a flower crown party!
​

A classy and entertaining experience, creating a flower crown from scratch is not only a fun activity that will leave guests quite impressed with their skills, but also a beautiful way to make memories with your closest friends and/or family.

​Expect lots of giggles, stories and champagne sippers as everyone puts together their very own stunning creations. Then expect LOTS of photo ops once the making is over as your crowns will be so fabulous they'll NEED to be caught on camera!

PAINT OR SKETCH A MODEL

For a classy and creative experience with a cheeky twist, you can’t go past an art class whose model just happens to be naked! Whilst a little on the naughty side, these classes are also very insightful; teaching you tricks of the trade when it comes to drawing and painting. As such they are known to be enjoyable for young adults and grandparent alike!
​
And for those who want to take it just that little bit further, there are also experiences where you paint the model himself (such as the one offered at Hens Party Ideas Adelaide - pictured below)! That’s right, rather than putting pen or brush to paper... you'll be putting brush to skin #ohbehave
Paint a model - classy hen ideas

ESCAPE ROOM EXPERIENCE

If your bride-to-be never backs down from a challenge, why not put her determination to good use by trapping yourselves in the ultimate real-life puzzle (such as the bar and escape rooms offered by TRAPT, pictured below)?!

Requiring teamwork and collaboration to succeed, this experience will be difficult, fun and exciting - with the desire to find a way out bringing your entire group together! A fantastic way to start the party off with a bang, an escape room will become the major talking point for the rest of your celebration.
Classy Bachelorette Activity Ideas

THE BUCKENS OUTDOOR EXPERIENCE

Are you looking for a unique, creative way to get everyone involved in the pre-wedding shenanigans (the girls AND the boys all together)? 'The Buckens Outdoor Experience’ may be your answer.

​A fun activity that combines the puzzles of an escape room, the search of a scavenger hunt and the story-line of a movie; the Buckens is a fun way to get everyone thinking, talking, laughing and working together.

‘Equipped with locked backpacks and an app on your smart phone, teams of up to 8 players (several teams can play at once) will be challenged for about 90mins’, says Stephane of Escape Room Eight. In this time, you will ‘head to various locations around Manly, solving puzzles whilst unlocking and revealing more clues hidden within your bags'.

Located elsewhere in the world? Put together a DIY scavenger hunt experience that the girls (and boys) can enjoy in teams. So what do you think? Have you got what it takes to solve the mystery before it's too late?!

BOHO PICNIC

And last, but certainly not least, there is the option of a stunning boho picnic. Whether you DIY it or hire a professional stylist, an intimate picnic is not only a great way to make your day unique (it is a special occasion, after all!), but also the perfect way to relax, enjoy great company, devour some delicious food and sip on some yummy wine. Combine with some fun activities (such as a flower crown workshop) for added flair and you have yourself and event to remember!

For some fantastic picnic styling ideas, you can't go past Little Miss Party Planner's beautiful setups (pictured below; click here for some of their greatest picnic tips)!

FUN HEN PARTY IDEAS FOR EVERY TYPE OF BRIDE

Fun Hen Party Ideas
​AUTHOR: HARPER REID 
Are you planning a Hen’s party for a beloved gal pal and bride-to-be, but aren’t sure whether the classic feather-boa blowout will be her bag? That’s no matter, because for every type of bride, it’s possible to find an activity which suits – and we’ve put together the following Hen’s party ideas to help you do just that.

DOWNLOAD YOUR FREE HEN PARTY IDEAS PDF BY CLICKING HERE!

ONE: FOR THE CLASSIC BRIDE - A COCKTAIL-MAKING NIGHT

For the bride who loves a good drink and just wants to revel in her pre-marital freedom on her Hen’s, a cocktail night is just the thing. It’s different enough that it’ll be interesting for the other guests as an activity, but it’ll still offer all the opportunities for vodka, fun & games, and dancing as your classic Hen’s party.
Cocktail Making Class

TWO: FOR THE PHILANTHROPIC BRIDE - ORGANISE A CHARITY EVENT

​If you’re lucky enough to be hosting a party for a charitable gem of a bride, then why not play on the philanthropic theme? Rather than indulging and spoiling the star of the night in a way that makes her feel uncomfortable, consider organizing an event such as a fun run on her behalf and putting the money raised toward a charity that you know she loves to support. You can get local businesses and organizations on board, and set up a personalised gazebo as a fun custom shelter for the event.
​
Your gal pal will be touched by the gesture, and the whole gaggle of hens will rest easy knowing they’ve contributed to a cause bigger than just themselves.

​THREE: FOR THE FILM-BUFF BRIDE - A SCREENING

If your chief Hen is even remotely keen on the big screen, then you may want to contemplate booking out a local boutique cinema for the night. Organising a private screening of one of her fave films means that you can also theme the party, getting attendees to dress up as characters from the movie. Get some wine and a cheese platter in the mix, and you’ll have all the ingredients for an excellent Hen’s.
Movie night party

​FOUR: ​FOR THE FOODIE BRIDE - COOKERY CLASS

​Some brides love to engage in collaborative activities with their friends – and pretty much all brides love to eat. Booking in the whole group for a cookery class is thus a way to ensure that everyone in the party works and chats together (especially important if you’re blending different friendship groups), and a way to gastronomically delight the foodie bride.
Cookery Class

FIVE: FOR THE QUIETER BRIDE - SPA OR TEA PARTY

Some brides are the quieter type, and would much prefer a smaller gathering out of sight of prying eyes over a full-scale shindig. For these lovely ladies, a spa or tea party is just the thing.
​
Spa days or weekends away promise luxury, rest, and deep and meaningful chats for all. Since wedding stress is probably ramping up for your bride-to-be, she might far prefer a day or two of relaxation to a booze-filled weekend. It’s the same kind of deal with tea parties: with dainty scones and a never-ending supply of tea, it’s sure to be a civilised and delicious occasion, and the best thing about tea parties is that everyone’s welcome (mums, mothers-in-law, even the flower girls).
Spa Party & Tea Party ideas

SIX: FOR THE BEACH LOVING BRIDE - PLAN A TROPICAL GETAWAY

Why not extend a single Hen’s night into a proper getaway weekend? Whether it’s the nearest beach or tropical destination further afield, organizing a Hen’s weekend away is a guaranteed treat for all the girls. For particularly adventurous brides, you can even tee up a whole schedule full of activities like scuba diving, ziplining, and jetboating – all with a generous allowance for cocktails on the beach, of course!

HEN & BACHELORETTE PARTY IDEAS AT HOME

Active at home hens night ideas
DANCE PARTY
Hire a local dance instructor to bring the moves to your celebration! Any hen who loves a good boogie will jump at the chance to get her dance on with her favourite girls. The best part? The choreography you learn as a group can be used as a surprise 'flash mob' dance at the wedding (click here to learn more)!

​​INFLATABLE FUN

If your house or venue has a large enough outdoor space, inflatable games such as bubble soccer could be a fantastic addition to your party!

If you do decide to include such an activity, make sure you give your guests a heads up via their hens party invitations. You don’t want girls arriving in high heels and skirts if they’re going to be running around in large zorb balls at some point during the day!

LASER TAG

For high-tech hide and seek in your very own backyard, hire some laser tag equipment, decorate the area with fun obstacles and have guests attend in their best army inspired outfits. With so many fun games to play, you're sure to have an absolute blast! To find out more about 'at home' laser tag parties and how they will make for a fantastic hen do, click here.
​

​​POOL PARTY
Is one of the bridesmaids in your group lucky enough to have a house with a pool? Then you should definitely consider a pool party! Think lounge chairs, cocktails, inflatable pool toys, pool games (i.e. volleyball), music and more!

​For those after a cheeky touch, consider hiring some topless waiters to serve food and drinks whilst you enjoy yourselves in the water. ​
Cheeky bachelorette party at home ideas
PUPPETRY FUN
If you’re after a cheekier soiree (with a twist!), ‘Puppetry of the Penis’ will bring the laughs with an entertaining and creative show – in your very own home! Use it to begin your celebrations (thus providing plenty of conversation for the rest of the night) or as a hilarious surprise for your bride-to-be midway through the event (she definitely won’t see it coming!).


​STRIPPERS
​For the cheekier hen that is after a little bit of nudity, consider hiring a surprise stripper! Trust me, the sound of ‘Pony’ beginning to play, followed by a fireman appearing in the room is a sure-fire way to get the girls giggling, yelling and more!

​Private shows can be easily booked for your house or venue in most locations, and whilst it does cost a pretty penny, it’s a great way get party-goers up and about! 



TOPLESS WAITERS
​If your hen isn't that keen on strippers, but still wants a cheeky edge to her celebration, topless waiters are the way to go. Friendly and helpful, most topless waiters are more than happy to host (or even participate in) games, hand out food and drinks, entertain guests and more! 


TWERK IT!
Bringing all the sexy moves to your very own living room, this unique activity will have the gals booty popping like nobody is watching! A dance class teaching the fine art of Twerking, here you will learn how to 'drop, shimmy, shake' and more by the masters themselves.

Highly entertaining and full of fun, it's a great way to kick off the celebration - leaving you with a GREAT topic of conversation for the remainder of the party! ​

CLASSIC SLEEPOVER
★Feel like splurging? Click here to find somewhere with room service and a view!★
Remember the days of staying up all night with your closest gal pals? Giggling, talking about boys, watching movies, eating as much junk food as humanly possible and generally having the BEST time?
If your bride-to-be isn't keen on hitting the town, but would rather spend some quality time with her friends - consider a good old fashioned sleepover - full of games, chick flicks, food and fun.
To pull it off, fill your lounge room with mattresses, cushions, blankets, lollies, chocolates, dressing gowns, champagne, wine, board games, movies and more. Want to splurge and make it a little more special? Consider booking a beautiful hotel room where you can enjoy room service; or hire a house in a stunning location and make a weekend out of it!

​CLOTHES SWAP PARTY

Inform guests' that they are going to be taking part in a clothes swap party via their hens night or bridal shower invitations. Specify only clean clothes that are in good condition can be brought along (nobody wants your old rags!), and some sort of bag to carry your new party clothes home is also desirable. 

Once everyone has arrived at the party, hand each guests one token per item of clothing they have brought (in other words, if they have three items for the clothes swap, they receive three tokens in return). Once tokens have been given out and clothes have been placed around the venue for everyone to see, it's time to get the party started!

Use a fair system (such as pulling numbers out of a hat) to decide who goes first, second, third, etc. and limit the number of items each guest can swap per turn to one or two (meaning those who don't get to take part in the clothes swap until later will still have the chance to grab some nice outfits as not everything will be gone). 

This party is great fun in itself, however adding delicious food platters, wine and other beverages, a million photos, a couple of games to break up the event and, of course, some fashion shows with your new outfits is what makes it memorable!

Handy Hint: make cute tokens using your bride-to-be's photo by printing off lots of mini pictures and mounting them onto card!
​

GET CRAFTY IN YOUR LOUNGE ROOM
★Click here to view beautiful, pre-made DIY Terracotta Mosaic Kits★
Get those creative juices flowing with a relaxing DIY activity in the comfort of your own home. Armed with a glass of bubbles and your imagination, surrounded by the chatter and giggles of close friends, it's the perfect setting for making your very own masterpiece! Whether this activity is used to kick off celebrations or wind down after a huge day, kits (such as the Terracotta Mosiac Kit for 4, found at Dawdle Box) take the stress out of organising, whilst simultaneously adding a touch of fun and uniqueness to your party.

​HOST AN AT HOME PAMPER PARTY

With your best friend's wedding just around the corner, she's sure to be going through a range of emotions. Whether she's excited, stressed or somewhere in between, a little pampering definitely won't go astray!

How much you spend on this option is entirely up to you.

With hair, make-up and massage businesses more than happy to come to your venue, it's easy to put together a professional experience that guests will adore. Whilst it can get pricey, this option also means you don't have the added pressure on the day of running activities yourself. 

Alternatively, a DIY pamper session with the girls can be just as fun. Ask everyone to bring their own dressing gowns/robes, set up pamper stations around the house/venue (such as nails, massage, facials, foot spas filled with rose petals, etc.), and hand out gorgeous little goodie bags filled with chocolates or chocolate coated strawberries and beautiful beauty products. You could also ask the girls if they're interested in putting in some money to organise for one professional to come out and treat your bride-to-be (and the rest of the group) alongside your DIY options.

Whichever way you decide to go, combined with a girly sleepover full of food, wine, games, movies and giggles; you're definitely onto a winner!

Handy Hint for you DIYers: print off DIY facial recipes that you can make as a group (with drinks in hand, of course!). It will get everyone mingling, so makes for the perfect ice-breaker activity when you have a number of guests who don't know one another. For some more great DIY pamper tips, click here.
​

SECRET GARDEN PARTY
The perfect option for any lover of the outdoors; garden parties provide a beautiful backdrop, fresh air, a relaxing atmosphere and, best of all, you don’t have to worry about cleaning up any spills (in other words, no red wine stains on white carpet!).

Incorporate furniture, picnic rugs, platters, and jumbo sized activities (such as giant jenga) alongside some typical hen party games, and you’ll have a celebration that will be remembered for all of the right reasons. For tips on planning an incredible outdoor bridal shower, click here.

Foodie hen party at home
CAKE (OR DESSERT) TASTING PARTY
For any bride-to-be with a sweet tooth, this would be a dream come true!

To organise, ask guests to bring along their favourite cake or dessert (whether this be homemade or bought is entirely up to them). On the day, set up some long tables covered in white table-cloths and, as guests arrive, place their cakes/desserts on display (the colours will really pop against the white backdrop!). 

The way in which you host the party from here on is your choice. Whether it's a free-for-all (i.e. people grab some cake or dessert when they feel like it) or has more structure to it (i.e. one-by-one you make your way through each of the options as a group), a lot of sugar will be consumed, and a lot of fun will be had!

Pair this activity with a 'sweet as can be' theme (e.g. bright colours, lolly bars, sweet wines, etc.) and you have the basis for a great celebration!
​

FOOD TRUCK PARTY
The perfect option for any foodie hen - food trucks are a fun and unique way to get your hunger (and thirst) fix. Being replicas or refurbishments of vintage trucks and caravans, they're often quite stunning to look at PLUS they also make amazing backdrops for selfies or any other piccies you may snap during the event. If you're interested in hosting your very own food truck festival (or even hiring one or two for fun), click here for some great tips.

LEARN HOW TO MAKE COCKTAILS
​
Cocktail making classes are a mobile activity option for those who want to enjoy delicious, high quality beverages in the comfort of their own home (whilst learning some handy tricks at the same time)!

Don't have the money to spend on a mobile class? Instead, consider either providing numerous bottles of spirits and some mixes OR asking each guest to bring along one bottle each. You can then print off some fun cocktail recipes and let the girls go crazy making their own concoctions! 

For added flair, make it a 'cocktail party' theme and have guests arrive in their finest attire.
​

PERSONAL CHEF
A great way to kick off an amazing night in is by having a beautiful meal prepared by your own Personal Chef! Who doesn't want to eat restaurant quality food in the comfort of their home with their nearest and dearest right there with them?! To learn more about what it would be like to have a personal chef at your celebration, click here.


PICNIC
Platters, wine, the outdoors, friends - what more could you want?! For the bride-to-be who appreciates good food and good company, why not set up a beautiful picnic in the backyard? For step-by-step instructions on creating a setup that will make your best friend's jaw drop, check out this article!

WINE TASTING AT HOME

For a more sophisticated affair, wine tastings are a fantastic opportunity to not only learn about the different wines on offer, but to get a taste of them too!

​Whether you ask your guests to bring a bottle of wine each and host your own version of a tasting, or hire a professional who can lead you through it, this type of event is always a great way to get guests chatting, learning and having fun.

​PHOTO BOOTH
If your budget allows for photo booth hire, definitely consider it! Photo booths provide lasting, hilarious memories; and the guest of honour often receives a digital copy of every single picture following the event (plus a guest book)!

Can't justify spending money on this or want to save your dollars for a different activity? You don't have to go without. Create your own party photo booth by putting together a backdrop (such as streamers or fabric strips - click here for more ideas) next to a basket of props and dress ups. Guests can then use their phones or a provided instant camera to take funny shots of each other throughout the event. 

Handy Hint: If you have a selfie stick, set it up in front of the backdrop so that guests' can easily take photos of themselves on timer! It's also a good idea to link any props to your overall theme (e.g. if it's an Angel themed party, provide props such as wings, wands, halos, white feather boas, white hats, etc.).
Unique stay at home hen party ideas
ADULT SCAVENGER HUNT
A hen party scavenger hunt basically involve teams’ making their way through a list of tasks and completing as many as they can (such as ‘pose like a statue in the middle of the town’ or ‘find a man who looks like the groom and get a photo with him’).

​Therefore, if you’re hosting the event at home, you will need to stroll down to the local township or pub to get the most out of this activity (which is perfect if the girls need to stretch their legs or need a change of scenery!). For some great scavenger hunt ideas, click here.

AFRICAN DRUMMING

If you're searching for a truly unique activity that will come to you, take a look at Interactive African Drumming! You will create lifelong memories through the fun, laughter and bonding experienced during the day. Plus it's something she would never expect (and has probably never tried before)! Click here to learn more about Interactive African Drumming parties.
​

CARICATURE ARTIST
Hire a caricature artist and get entertainment and souvenirs all in one! Your guests will love watching and giggling as they each have their very own cartoon drawn; the perfect option for a G-rated and entertaining celebration! Click here to learn more about caricature artists and hen parties.
​

COMEDY HYPNOTIST
A fantastic and unique option that many don't consider - most hypnotists will be happy to put on a hilarious and memorable show right in your living room! 

As Comedy Hypnotist Gerard V says, "Seeing your aunt doing a fantastic air-guitar solo can be a life changing experience, and a memory that will stay with you. The photos on social media will bring back a smile in later years." ​To learn more about comedy hypnotists at hen parties, click here.

INTUITIVE PARTY

Is your bride-to-be curious about psychics, chakra healing, mediums, etc.? Then an at home intuitive party could be just what she's after.

Filled with games and activities such as oracle cards, tarot card reading, pendulums, tea leaf interpretation, intuitive trees and more; this is a party where your hen and guests alike will learn so much about themselves and one another.

If you would like to learn more about intuitive parties, click here. Already sold on the idea? For some great tips on planning and executing your own intuitive style party, click here.​ 
​

KARAOKE PARTY
For the hen who loves to sing, why not hire a karaoke machine and have yourself an in-house karaoke party! For even more fun, set a theme for the celebration (such as the 90s) and have guests come dressed to impress. 

Handy hint: Make a competition by including a different character and song on each invite. For example, one invitation might specify: 'Character - Geri from the Spice Girls, Song - Wannabe by the Spice Girls'. That particular guest then has to come dressed as the character on their invitation and sing the song from their invitation. Have prizes for best dressed, best singer, worst singer, best performance, etc.!
​

MURDER MYSTERY PARTY
Add a bit of mystery to the celebration by hosting a Murder Mystery night! It will take a bit to put together, and you'll need a guest list willing to get involved (as costumes are a must!); but the fun you'll have will be worth every bit of preparation! Night of Mystery specialise in these parties, so for more detailed information visit their website by clicking here!

THE DECORATIONS

Now that you have the activities under control, it's time to start thinking about the rest of your event (namely decorations, food and drinks). To help, I've listed some handy tips and tricks below:

For starters, create the perfect atmosphere with any of the following hen party and bridal shower decorations:
  • Photographs of your bride-to-be and all of her friends
  • Special details/little facts about the bride and groom-to-be's relationship (e.g. date they met, where they met, how long they've been together, how he proposed, etc.)
  • Gorgeous flowers throughout the house
  • Stunning table cloths and/or runners
  • Beautiful fabric bunting and garlands
  • Fairy lights (dig into your Christmas decorations box and find your little fairy lights. You can then hang them around your home/outdoors - it will be perfect lighting once the sun starts to set)
If you're hosting a themed event, make sure your decor (and food/drinks) tie into it. For example, a 'Cops and Robbers' theme would suit black and white decorations, donuts, milk drinks, etc.; whereas a sophisticated summery theme would be best decorated with gorgeous flowers, greenery, wooden objects, etc.
Decorations and hens night ideas at home

THE PARTY FOOD

There are a few ways you can go about feeding the hoards!

If the hen party is in-between lunch and dinner, serving platters of fruits, cheese, crackers and cold meats is a great way to keep the hunger at bay; as is serving easy finger food such as mini sausage rolls, small sandwiches, fruit skewers, chocolates, mini muffins, cupcakes, hot chips, etc.

Similarly, grazing platters or tables are a great way to provide a variety of options for guests (with an added bonus, they also look amazing!).

Hen do at home food ideas
​Need something a little more filling? 

Consider a BBQ with baked potatoes and salads (you could even set up a couple of food stations where guests can create their own baked potato/salad meals), or delicious take-away from a nearby shop (pizza is always a great option, bonus points if they deliver!). 

If you don't want to stress about food on the day/night at all, there's also the option of hiring a catering company to take care of it for you, getting a wicked food truck to stop by (complete with her favourite food, of course!), or even having a personal chef come in to WOW your bride-to-be and her friends.

For those of you who need to stick to a tighter budget (and don't really enjoy cooking for a large group), there's also the option of a 'Pot Luck Dinner'. Simply pick a theme that your bride-to-be will enjoy (say, Italian), and ask each guest to bring along a plate of food that represents that particular selection. To make sure you have a good variety of food, it's best to assign different courses to guests (e.g. two guests could be assigned 'Italian Desserts', two 'Italian Starters', two 'Italian Beverages', etc.). 

No matter how you decide to do it, make sure you cater for everyone involved (pregnant women can't eat soft cheese for example, whilst other guests may be vegetarian); and, most importantly, make sure you serve foods that your bride-to-be absolutely loves!
Adult party food ideas

THE PARTY DRINKS

For starters, what is your hen's favourite drink in the whole world?

You should serve that. And lots of it!

For everything you do buy, attempt to purchase in bulk as it will save you money. And don't forget to purchase/offer non-alcoholic beverages such as water, juice or even punch. 

If you want to base the hens party around cocktails, keep an eye out for specials and buy bottles of spirits when they're at their cheapest. Alternatively, work with guests so that everyone brings a different bottle of spirits with them to the party; placing them at a designated 'bar area' on arrival. Provide mixers (such as juice, lemonade and cola) and cocktail recipes, shakers, glasses, etc. for guests' to create their own masterpieces throughout the event!

Speaking of spirits, let's not forget shots - jelly shots, normal shots, or shots added to food will all go down a treat. For a wonderful gummy bear pop recipe, click here!

HEN PARTY GAMES AT HOME

The games you play will strongly depend on the type of celebration you're hosting. Is it a cheeky soiree? Or will grandparents and young children be part of the party? Either way, I suggest you click here. It will lead you to a list of over 40 free games where you are bound to find options PERFECT for you and your hen!

Alternatively, you may wish to play some good old-fashioned lawn games. For example, the hen who loves her board games will also love this giant DIY version of 'guess who' (click here for DIY instructions so that you can create your own game - personalise by using hilarious or sweet images of your bride-to-be throughout her life, pictures of guests attending the celebration, or characters from her favourite movies!). Then there is also the option of giant jenga, connect four, noughts and crosses, or any other giant lawn game you can think of!
