At Home Hen Party Ideas

There are a myriad of ways to celebrate a hen weekend, with everything from weekends abroad, hiring boujee holiday houses, to going away on a city break. For some the pressure to have fun, coupled with the financial connotations can be an overwhelming and exhausting prospect.

Take a deep breath, we are here to tell you that organising a hen party from the comfort of your own home is a great option for both saving money and being relaxed in familiar surroundings. 

We have come up with some unique ideas to help you have the time of your lives from the security of your own four walls.

Cocktail Making Party 

Did you know you can hire an expert mixologist to teach you all how to make perfectly blended cocktails at home? There are various options available, you can provide your own alcohol or opt for an all inclusive package where everything is brought along.

The mixologist will bring glassware, shakers and all of the other equipment needed. The best part is tasting each other’s creations as you go. 

Mystery Wig Party 

You can purchase lots of styled and coloured different wigs and give one to each girlie (wrapped up so they don’t know what they are getting). Ask them to go into the bathroom and then do a reveal! This is an absolutely hilarious way to break the ice and start the party! 

Mobile Pamper Party 

You can bring the salon to you with a mobile spa experience. Hire your very own beauty specialist who can offer a wide variety of packages to suit all.

There’s everything from massages, facials, manicures and pedicures. Why not personalise the experience and get each hen her own robe with her role in the wedding emblazoned on the back? All mobile spas will come equipped with everything you need to turn your home into an oasis of serenity. 

Hen Party Sleepover 

This is one of our favourite ideas, the hen party sleepover has to be the ultimate girlie bonding experience. Get everyone matching hen PJ's and relive your youth!

Grab some facemasks, pizza, tons of sweets and prosecco and play some old school party games, like truth or dare, or simply sing into hairbrushes. If space is an issue you could all set up camp in the living room and remember what it was like to be 13 again!

Share your special moments of how you met the bride-to-be, you could make a photo collage and take it in turns to pay homage to her. 

Garden Party 

If weather permits then a garden party is the ultimate way to catch some rays and disturb the neighbours! (Jokes). There are so many themes you can choose, will you opt for a classy Parisian style affair with a giant cookie al la the Bridesmaids movie, or a festival-esque theme with a DJ and free flowing drinks?

You could hire your own catering company to BBQ for you Caribbean style or opt for an English Country Garden theme with afternoon tea. 

Butler in the Buff 

Who doesn't enjoy a gorgeous piece of eye candy? You can hire your very own Butler in the Buff who will wait on you all hand and foot, mixing cocktails and serving food.

The boys are also fluent in banter and are happy to facilitate party games and get involved with zero awkwardness. They literally bring the party to you with tons of energy and good vibes! 

Fancy Dress Party 

Why not rewind back to the era of your school days and throw a theme based on that? 80s, 90s, 00s? You can decorate your house accordingly, make a playlist to match or even hire a DJ to make the occasion even more spectacular. Dress up as icons from your chosen era and dance the night away! 

Karaoke Party  

Are there any singers among you? Blasting out your favourite party tunes after a few glasses of wine is possibly one of the best ways to celebrate your hen party!

You can hire a karaoke machine with free delivery or even purchase one for as little as £80 which has a screen for lyrics. Why not play ‘wild karaoke’ where the song you sing is chosen for you? Laughter guaranteed and this is a great way to get everyone involved - you could even host a singing competition with best and worst singer prizes.

Dinner Party

If you want a classy affair then hosting a dinner party could be the perfect choice for your at home hen party. You could hire a professional chef to come and cook for you all from your own kitchen meaning you can just relax and enjoy the occasion.

Small plates are trending right now, and many local chefs are more than happy to facilitate this for you. 

Portrait Party 

Grab some canvases and paints, put all the names from the hen party into a hat and paint a portrait of the girl whose name you draw.

This is a fun and creative way to celebrate your hen party and you can always have a few glasses of vino while you paint. Give everyone a time limit to complete their works of art and do a big reveal once everyone is finished.

Take a photograph of each hen with their work of art afterwards and you can all obviously take the works of art home to display as a reminder of the evening!
