If you’re in charge of organising a friend’s hen party, you’ll want to make it an extra special occasion.

We show you how to add some personal touches for a personalised hen party to ensure the event is memorable for a long time to come.

1. Nostalgic photos

Have some old photos of the bride-to-be on display, and be sure to get plenty of her as a child and teenager!

Ask hen party members to contribute any old photos of them with the bride too, whether they’re shots of previous nights out or even pictures from their school days together.

You can either display the photos around your venue or make a photo memory book to present to the bride on the day.

These nostalgic touches will be sure to bring a warm glow to your gathering.

2. Personalised cupcakes

Everyone loves cupcakes, and they make the perfect sweet treat for any hen party.

Order cupcakes in the bride’s favourite flavours and — even better — get them personalised with her name.

As well as being tasty, customised cupcakes look just great on all those social media posts to record the occasion!

3. Customised theme

Why not create a theme that’s customised to the unique taste of the hen?

So if she loves vintage style, then get everyone to dress in the fashion of an era that she loves.

You can also customise the venue decorations, food and invites to match the personalised theme.

Take a look at our ideas for more hen party themes:

  • Black and white
  • The bride’s favourite colour
  • Disney
  • 1920s
  • The bride’s favourite place
  • Beach party
  • The jungle
  • Rainbow
  • Denim and diamonds
  • Hollywood

4. Handwritten guest book

Bring a blank guest book to the party venue and get guests to write in their thoughts and wishes on the day.

This will make a really special memento for the bride-to-be, which she can cherish and look back on in years to come.

Grab an instant camera so you can take spontaneous pics at the event, and include them in the guest book to make it extra special.

5. Personalised hen party accessories

Order some customised hen party accessories for those thoughtful finishing touches.

There’s no limit to the personalised items you can find. Check out this list for inspiration:

  • Welcome sign
  • Balloons
  • Drinks bottles labels
  • Cake toppers
  • T-shirts
  • Temporary tattoos
  • Sashes and banners
  • Photo props
  • Bunting
  • Paper plates and napkins
  • Gift bags

6. Personalised video

If you’ve got a creative type in the hen party, get them to put together a personalised video to show to the bride-to-be at your event.

You can include contributions from anyone who can’t make it to the day and tributes from family too.

Get in touch with the bride’s parents in advance and see if they can offer video footage from her childhood for the “Aww!” factor.

This will make a fantastic focal point for your hen party.

7. Mystery guest

Have a surprise mystery guest turn up at the hen party for a truly memorable surprise!

This could be a friend who’s living abroad, an old work colleague or even the hen’s favourite teacher from their schooldays.

The bride-to-be’s reaction as they walk in the door will be something to treasure for years to come.

8. Customised wristbands

Get some wristbands for the hen party customised with the bride’s name or a hashtag that you’ve invented for the event.

It’s a great way to create a sense of belonging and fun. Everyone’s wristband will also serve as a reminder of your special time together.

Event wristbands come in a wide range of colours and materials, including silicone and fabric.

Silicone wristbands are ideal for hen parties, as they’re comfy, long-lasting and hypoallergenic, making them suitable for everyone.

Choose from Handband’s range of styles, including regular, skinny and wide wristbands, and have your hen party wristbands customised with your own exclusive message.
