The wedding celebration’s behind-the-scenes crew consisted of a talented group, with Sara Kelly heading up the bridal party. Meanwhile, Petals & Pampas took care of setting up the games for guests to enjoy. The bar area was dressed up with creative signage and straws from All Her Glory, while CreativeUnionDesign designed the ‘Drink If’ game to get everyone laughing. Last but not least, TemplateBestieCA crafted a beautiful welcome sign that set the tone for an unforgettable day.
Barbie Girls
The buzz around Barbie-themed hen parties has reached new heights after last year’s cinematic success. This trend is all about embracing the essence of Barbie, with a dash of hot pink and an abundance of glamorous details. To make it a reality, encourage your girlfriends to don their best Barbie-inspired outfits – think nurse Barbie, sporty Barbie, or any other iconic look.
Accessories are a must-have, and let’s not forget the venue – transform it into a mini Barbie Dreamhouse for an unforgettable experience!
Dazed & Engaged
Embrace the free-spirited, flower-power vibe of a 1970s-inspired hen party. Imagine Studio 54’s glamour meeting Woodstock’s counterculture essence in a celebration that’s equal parts disco and hippie chic. To set the scene, envision bright colours, bold fonts, and psychedelic patterns dominating invitations and signage. Florals are a must-have element, with daisy motifs and other vibrant blooms adding to the party’s whimsical charm.
Decorate with colorful streamers, funky balloons in flower power designs, and a few disco balls for good measure. Create a groovy playlist featuring iconic tunes from Donna Summer, the Bee Gees, Diana Ross, and ABBA. And don’t forget to craft flower crowns that add an extra layer of hippie magic.
To make it all happen, check out BalloonandBash for balloons, InkAndPixelPrintable for invites, EverleyJanePaperie for signage, Baked By Beth for cookies, Gigi & Olive for cups and napkins, CutAndCreateCo for a banner, and Sian Ellis Woodcock wearing a veil by Gigi & Olive as the bride.
On Cloud Nine
As the bride basks in her cloud nine euphoria, it’s time to plan a party that matches her radiant mood. The ‘She’s On Cloud Nine’ theme is a refreshing take on traditional hen parties, eschewing bright pinks for soothing whites and pale blues. This elegant color palette lends itself perfectly to low-key celebrations, spa days, or more subdued gatherings. What’s more, it pairs seamlessly with a variety of destinations, making it an excellent choice for adventurous brides-to-be.
To transport your guests to this idyllic atmosphere, incorporate baby blue and white balloons, streamers, and decorations that evoke a sense of whimsy and romance. Encourage attendees to don all-blue ensembles, while the bride shines in her most dazzling white attire and a glamorous wedding veil. With these touches, you’ll create an unforgettable ‘cloud nine’ experience for the happy couple and their closest friends.
Ninties Nostalgia
The nostalgia surrounding the 1990s has made its way into the wedding and events industry, with a surge in popularity for 90s-themed hen parties. This retro trend is all about embracing the fun, carefree spirit of the decade that brought us iconic TV shows like Friends, Saved by the Bell, and The Spice Girls.
To create a truly tubular celebration, encourage your guests to get creative with their outfits, dressing up in neon colours, tie-dye patterns, or even full-on 90s-inspired ensembles complete with visors, fanny packs, and scrunchies. For an added twist, you could ask them to come dressed as their favourite 90s movie or TV show character. No 90s-themed party would be complete without a Polaroid camera (or disposable cameras) to capture the memories of this unforgettable night.
Let your guests’ inner Spice Girl shine and make some totally rad memories.
Till Death Do Us Party
As the bride-to-be says goodbye to her girlfriend era, she can opt for a unique and edgy ‘Bride or Die’ or ‘Till Death Do Us Party’ hen party theme. This darkly humorous approach is perfect for those who want to stray from traditional pink-themed celebrations. The moody vibe will also lend itself well to a Halloween-inspired hen party. To bring this theme to life, incorporate coordinated party supplies like cups, napkins, and balloons that match the tone.
Encourage guests to dress in all black, and consider adding a stylish leather jacket to the bride-to-be’s wardrobe for a sleek finish. For added flair, consider custom ordering items like invitations, cake designs, and bandanas with a matching aesthetic from vendors like CreativeUnionDesign, Gingerbear Bakery, ShopThreeGirls, and Give Me Some Sugar.

Get ready to party like it’s the end of an era!

‘ And because what’s a party without a little glamour, we’ll ask guests to dress up as their favorite Taylor Swift era – think bold lipsticks and statement accessories!
