Whether you are a bride-to-be who is hosting her own hen party or you have been given the trusted title of maid of honour and want to plan the bride the best send-off, then it is important that you plan a stylish and fun event. Now that staying in is the new going out, more brides and their bridal parties are opting to stay home and have fun, instead of heading down to their local bar or restaurant.
One of the many benefits of having all the hen party fun from the comfort of your own home is that you can go all out when it comes to the decorations. Long gone are the days of tacky and cheap hen party decorations, and with our help, you can create the perfect, stylish, and sophisticated home party environment for a hen party to remember.
Party Balloons
When it comes to getting the party started, balloons can be a great way to set the scene and there are plenty of balloons for you to choose between, from a giant inflatable diamond ring, to helium filled letter balloons that spell out ‘HEN PARTY’ or even the bride-to-be’s name.
Not only do balloons add the perfect touch, but they also make for great photos. It is important that you document the hen’s night, and a good selection of balloons will make the event even more Instagram worthy!
However, we recommend that you plan your balloons in advance so that you get the right size for the room. If they are too small, they could look silly, and if they are too big then they will just get in the way of you having fun. You should also consider picking a colour theme that goes with the room. Don’t feel that you have to stay traditional and go for a feminine colour such as pink, and instead get creative.
Team Bride Sashes
Every hen party needs team bride sashes so that everyone can get into the hen spirit and feel included in the event. For those hens that have a role in the big day, such as bridesmaids, and mother of the bride, you could get their wedding roles on their sashes. For everyone else, you may decide to get them personalised with their names on them. This will help people who aren’t familiar already to get to know each other quickly.
We recommend that you consider your colour theme when you pick hen party sashes for guests and make sure that they colour co-ordinate with your balloons and other room decorations.
Bunting
A quick and easy way to decorate a home ready for a hen party is to get hen party bunting that is both stylish and suits the colour theme that you are going for. It is worth taking the time to consider which colour bunting will look the best, as otherwise a clash of colour can make the event look tacky.
You could consider personalised bunting and get the bride’s name or photo printed onto the material. That will be sure to make the bride smile as soon as she sees it.
Game Accessories
A hen party is a great excuse to play games that get all the hens involved! Games work as exciting icebreakers for people to get to know each other better and they offer everyone the opportunity to relax and have fun – especially the bride. For example, this quiz game is great at getting everyone involved in the celebrations. The ultimate wedding tips and inspiration site ‘For Better For Worse’ has a huge selection of quiz game questions for you to choose from to make the game prep even easier for you! For Better For Worse has tips and information on all the areas of planning a wedding and hen party you can think of, so be sure to check them out in preparation for the big day.
Photo Booth Props
A modern-day hen party cannot possibly live up to its full potential if it does not feature a hen party photo booth and props. These make for the perfect hen party snaps that the bride and hens can treasure for years to come. Usual props include a champagne bottle, funny signs, a giant diamond ring, and bride-to-be signs. They offer everything you need for a hen party photo booth in the comfort of your own home.
Table Decorations
You should be sure not to forget the table decorations for your home hen party as they can really finish off the aesthetic for the event. From colour themed paper plates and cups, to team bride straws and ‘I Do Crew’ napkins, your table accessories can look just as stylish as the rest of your party decorations.
By making the right stylish decorations choices, you can ensure that your hen party at home is one to remember for all the right reasons!
