Hens Party Fun
February 5, 2013 in Lifestyle
My hens party is this weekend. Yep. The last hurrah. The last night of freedom. The last fling before the ring. Or something like that.
So what do my 4 lovely bridesmaids have in store for me? As far as I know, there is a high tea in the afternoon followed by a cocktail party in the evening. And a few surprises along the way, I’m sure!
I recently shared some of the fantastic purchases I’ve made for the wedding from Etsy, including the ‘Team Bride’ tank tops I’ve bought for my girls. Today I’m looking online once again for some fun items that would be perfect for any kind of hens party.
Here are my picks…
1. Lovely Lace Paper Cups from Down That Little Lane ($17.50)
These gorgeous pastel coloured paper cups would be a sweet addition to an elegant High Tea and they also have matching paper plates, which you can find here.
2. Girl Talk Story Starters from Down That Little Lane ($21.95)
Girls aren’t really known to ever be short on conversation, but when you bring together friends from all aspects of your life sometimes a little ice breaker is needed and these cards would be a great option.
3. ‘Keep Calm & Drink On’ Bunting from Etsy ($19.74)
The ‘Keep Calm’ mantra is everywhere – prints, mugs, Pinterest…and this super cute bunting to remind you that a hens party is the perfect opportunity to keep calm and drink on! Pass the champers please…
4. Set of 4 Personalised Wine Glasses from Etsy ($11.84)
I can usually determine which one is my glass at a party by the lipstick stain on the rim (anyone else do this?!) but these personalised glasses take the guess work out of the equation!
5. ‘Team Bride’ Badge from Etsy ($4.94)
I love the ‘Team Bride’ philosophy, as it captures the true spirit of bridesmaids – they’re a bride’s support network, pit crew, entourage…you get what I mean. Go Team Bride!
6. Hen’s Night Mad Lib from Etsy ($14.81)
Mad Libs are everywhere when it comes to weddings now and it’s easy to see why. They’re a fun way to share each guests’ reactions, thoughts and advice.
What’s the best hens party you’ve been to? What did you get up to? Don’t worry, no men will be reading this post – it’s a safe space to share!
Stay Chic,

Cute items!
I’ve been to a few great hens party’s and I might be biased but I think mine was pretty fantastic.
We started off with a three-course lunch and cocktails at Gazebo in Elizabeth Bay then we boarded a private boat and enjoyed more drinks and games as the boat took us around the Harbour. The boat brought us back to shore and we finished the night dancing (and drinking) at one of the bars at King St Wharf.
I hope you have the BEST hens! xxxx
That sounds awesome Steph – what a hens party! Thanks so much for your well wishes. Sonia xx
