Top Tips for planning a Hen Do

Top Tips for planning a Hen Do

Looking to throw the perfect hen party? Look no further! We have some great tips for a fun-packed pre-wedding celebration. Whether you're the maid of honour, the bride herself, or a good friend looking to make the "last fling before the ring" a memorable one, we've got you covered. From games to activities to drinks and snacks, we've got all the essentials to make it a night to remember. So, what are you waiting for? Let's get this party started!

First things first, plan out some fun games to keep everyone entertained. From classic bachelorette party games like "Truth or Dare" to other favourites like "How well do you know the bride?" there's never a dull moment when friends are involved.

Games ideas:

· Never Have I Ever

· Hen Party Scavenger Hunt

· Hen Charades

· Truth or Dare

· Dress the Bride (each hen brings along an item of fancy dress for the bride to wear and she has to guess who brought what).

· How well do you know the Bride?

· Pass the parcel – make sure that the bride wins the final round, which should include a special gift for her

Don't forget to pack some cute accessories, like matching "Bride Tribe" sashes, drinking pouches and of course, no party is complete without some tasty snacks and drinks. We've got some easy and delicious ideas for snacks to munch on while playing games, and a list of the best cocktails to sip on while dancing the night away.

Lets start with the drinks!……..

Recipe Ideas:

Pimp up your champagne/prosecco/cocktails with edible Ice Cubes (using edible flowers, such as peonies, pansies, marigolds, honeysuckle, nasturtiums, carnations, sunflowers or summer fruits)

A sugar or salt rim might look fancy, but it's a doddle to do and is sure to impress drinks party guests. Most commonly found on a margarita, all you need to do is dampen the rim of your empty glass and dip in a plate of your sugar or salt mixture to coat the edge.

La Fleurette Cocktail

· 3 oz. Champagne or sparkling wine

· 1 oz. St. Germain

· 1 oz. Tonic water

· 5-6 drops rose water

· 1 drop pink food colouring (optional)

· Flowers for garnish

Method: Combine the champagne, St. Germain, tonic water, rose water, and food colouring into a shaker filled with ice. Strain mixture into a glass, and top with a few small flowers or petals. Serve and enjoy immediately.

Rose Lemon Spritzer

· 2 tablespoons rose water (optional)

· 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

· 1 1/2-2 ounces vodka (omit to make a mocktail!)

· 1-2 tablespoon honey, or to taste

· A few drops of blood orange or pomegranate juice, for colour (optional)

· 3/4 cup sparkling water, or more to taste

· Fresh roses, for garnish

Method: Combine all the rose water, fresh lemon juice, vodka, honey and blood orange or pomegranate juice (if using) in a cocktail shaker and fill with ice. Shake until combined and then strain into a glass. Pour in the sparkling water. Garnish with fresh roses.

But what about snacks?

A grazing board is a perfect way to present nibbles beautifully, meaning that the guests can dip in and out throughout the party. A variety of cheeses, (cooked meats for non-vegetarians), crackers, olives, pickles dips and fruits make for a colourful, tempting dish.

Have a look at the simple idea for a graze board below from Lidl:

 

What about those with a sweet tooth?

Why not make some cute unicorn cupcakes using the link below from Lady Berry Cupcakes?

Love-themed sweeties are also a must! Present them in a display stand along with paper bags and tongs so that you can ‘pick and mix!’
