Planning a hen party can be both exciting and overwhelming; there are endless details to think about and even more opinions to juggle. But at its heart, every hen party has one true purpose: to give the bride an unforgettable celebration with the people she loves most.
Whether you’re the Maid of Honour, a bridesmaid, or a best friend helping to plan the day, your goal is to create something special, personal, and joy-filled. That’s why we’ve put together the five things every bride truly needs for her hen party and one experience that makes it all unforgettable.
1. Her bride tribe
No hen party is complete without the bride’s closest circle, her bridesmaids, best friends, and family. Before booking anything, double-check the guest list with the bride so everyone important is included. It’s not about the size of the group, but the love and laughter they bring.
"When surrounded by her favourite people, every moment from the first toast to the last dance becomes a memory she’ll treasure forever."
Comments Katerina, Senior Fragrance Stylist.
2. Bubbles and fizz
Champagne, Prosecco, sparkling rosé, whatever your choice, a little fizz always sets the tone for celebration. Pop a cork and raise a glass to friendship, laughter, and the bride’s new chapter. And if your chosen activity allows it (ours certainly does!), bring the bubbles along to make it even more fun.
3. Games and giggles
Even the best-planned parties need a few icebreakers, especially if not everyone knows each other. Classic hen party games and a few creative twists help keep the energy up and the laughter flowing. Just remember — keep it classy and make sure the bride feels special, not embarrassed!
4. A personalised hen party perfume experience
Here’s what really sets an unforgettable hen party apart: a hen party perfume experience where the bride and her guests design their own signature fragrances. It’s creative, elegant, and completely unique - no gimmicks, no awkward moments, just pure fun and luxury.
Guided by a professional fragrance stylist, each guest samples a range of exclusive perfume blends and selects the notes that reflect their personality. The bride can even create her own bridal perfume to wear on her wedding day, a scent made with the people she loves, for the person she loves.
“Creating a bridal fragrance at a hen party makes that scent so much more special. It becomes a memory bottled forever.”
Adds Katerina
Our perfume making activity can be hosted at your chosen venue anywhere in the UK, or we can help find the perfect setting for you. Add Prosecco, music, and laughter, and you’ve got a celebration that feels effortlessly luxurious and completely personal.
5. Something gorgeous to wear
Forget the silly costumes; this is your bride’s time to shine. Encourage everyone to dress up and make it feel like a celebration worthy of her big day. Whether it’s matching colours or coordinated accessories, it’s all about making her feel beautiful, confident, and loved.
