Floral Era
If your bride-to-be has a soft spot for all things botanical, "Floral Era" is the perfect hen party theme to bring her flower-powered dreams to life! Think garden-party chic meets cottagecore fantasy - bloom-covered backdrops, pastel tablescapes, and a dress code that’s basically "florals for spring" but actually groundbreaking. Whether sipping rosé in a secret garden or hosting a flower crown workshop, this theme embraces romance, nature, and a touch of Bridgerton energy.
Hot Bride Summer
Sun’s out, bride’s out! If your hen party lands in peak sunshine season (or you just want to manifest the vibes), a "Hot Bride Summer" is the only way to go. We’re talking statement sunnies, bride-emblazoned swimsuits and cocktails that scream ‘poolside in Ibiza’. Whether you’re heading abroad or bringing the heat to a rooftop bar, this theme is all about celebrating the bride with pure, unfiltered fun.
Coastal Cowgirl
The wild, wild (wedding) west meets beachy, barefoot bliss with "Coastal Cowgirl" - the hen party theme for the bride who loves a little seaside chic with a twist. Picture cowboy boots with floaty white dresses, fringed jackets over bikinis, and an endless supply of margaritas. Whether you're line dancing at a honky-tonk bar or sipping piña coladas on a boat, this theme is a perfect mix of country charm and salty air. Giddy up, but make it coastal.
Brat Bach
For the bride who’s all about the afterparty, Brat Bach is the hen party theme that brings the club scene straight to your hen celebration. Inspired by Charli XCX’s latest hyperpop era, this is all about late nights, early mornings, and main character energy. Think dancefloor-ready outfits that scream pop star off duty, paired with sleek and stylish sunglasses. The playlist? Strictly Charli, and any track that brings the vibes.
Zen & Tonic
For the bride who prefers sage over shots (or at least wants a healthy balance), "Zen & Tonic" is the ultimate holistic hen weekend theme. Think sunrise yoga, crystal healing, spa retreats, and cocktails infused with botanicals - because wellness and a little indulgence go hand in hand. Whether meditating in a countryside retreat or swapping nightclub chaos for candlelit relaxation, this theme is perfect for pre-wedding relaxation with your besties. Namasté... and negronis.
Tequila Sunrise
Tequila Sunrise is the perfect hen party theme if you’re here for a good time (and maybe a slightly messy morning after). Inspired by the iconic cocktail, it’s all about sunset hues, tropical prints, and drinks flowing long into the night. Whether you're partying poolside, hitting a beach club, or setting up a DIY tequila bar, the vibe is ideal for a destination hen - somewhere tropical, ideally! Just don’t forget the sunglasses and a recovery plan for the next day.
Euro Summer
If the bride’s TikTok feed is full of Amalfi Coast aesthetics, Greek island escapes, and effortlessly chic city breaks, Euro Summer is the ultimate theme. Think floaty white dresses, Aperol spritz in hand, and a dreamy playlist. Whether you’re actually heading abroad or just bringing the Mediterranean vibes to your venue, this is all about relaxed glamour - sun-kissed, stylish, and perfectly Instagrammable.
Margs & Matrimony
A hen party theme with one key focus: margaritas. Margs & Matrimony is for the bride who knows that tequila makes everything better, and the only thing stronger than her love story is the cocktail menu. Dress code? Something vibrant (to match the lime wedges and salt-rimmed glasses). Whether it’s a taco-fuelled fiesta or a night out fuelled by rounds of spicy margs, this is the ultimate theme for a bride whose main mission is to have fun.
Pjs & Prosecco
If your bride-to-be is more about chilled vibes than club nights, PJs & Prosecco is the perfect theme for a cosy yet chic hen do. Think matching satin pyjamas, fluffy slippers, and bottomless fizz, all from the comfort of a luxe Airbnb or a chic at-home setup. Movie marathons, DIY facials, and a never-ending supply of snacks? Yes, please. And don’t forget the photo ops - because a group shot in coordinating loungewear is an absolute must.
Bows, Booze & ‘I Do’s’
Bows are having a moment, and what better way to lean into the trend than with a hen party dedicated to all things girly and glamorous? Bows, Booze & ‘I Do’s’ is a Pinterest-worthy mix of cutesy details, champagne towers, and sparkly outfits adorned with oversized bows. Whether you’re heading for afternoon tea, cocktails at a rooftop bar, or a full-blown party, this is for the bride who wants to feel like the main character (as she should).
Bride or Die
For the ride-or-die bride who’s all about big hen energy, with an edgy, darker touch. Think black-and-white outfits (with the bride in head-to-toe white, of course), statement sunglasses, and a no-apologies approach to having the best night ever. Whether it’s VIP booths, private party buses, or a weekend of back-to-back plans, Bride or Die is for the hens who know how to do it properly.
Perfect Match
A little bit playful, a little bit sentimental - Perfect Match is for the bride who loves love. Inspired by old-school matchboxes and the idea that opposites attract, this theme is all about fun, romantic details - think heart motifs and fiery red accents. Whether you're hosting a love-themed quiz, sipping cocktails named after the couple, or simply celebrating a match made in heaven, this is a hen party theme with spark.
