What to Put in a Hen Party Gift Bag?

Creating the perfect hen party gift bag involves a mix of fun, practical, and pampering items. Of course, hen party gift bag fillers can look entirely different for everyone! It’s about knowing your bridal party and what they’ll enjoy. While there are general categories you can cover, such as beauty, delicious treats, accessories, and so on - the best thing about homemade hen party gift bags is that they’re entirely tailor-made and personal to your bridal party. But for a little nudge in the right direction, some common fillers are: 

• Consider including beauty and self-care items like face masks, bath bombs, aromatherapy candles, and reusable eye masks for a mini spa experience. 
• Add party essentials, such as mini champagne bottles, personalised wine glasses, and sashes or badges for each bridesmaid. 
• Accessories like jewellery, sunglasses, and hair ties make stylish additions. 
• Sweet treats like chocolates, sweets and custom cookies are always a hit. 
• Fun and games, including hen party games and photo booth props, can keep the party lively. 
• Practical items like a hangover kit and a stylish tote bag are useful touches. 
• Finally, add personal touches such as thank you notes and personalised items to make each gift bag extra special. 

Mix and match these items based on your budget and preferences to create the best hen party gift bag for your besties!
