Also, you can hire a masseuse and manicurist for the day, and everyone can have their nails done at the cottage. Furthermore, you can hire a butler to make a specialized food menu for your stay. 

There are a lot of other activities that you can plan at the cottage - a pool party, fun games, etcetera. You can do everything without worrying about transportation arrangements.

A themed hen party is memorable and fun. It gives you the opportunity to capture Instagram worthy shots and definitely makes for a great night out with girls. If you want to throw a party that screams ‘elegance’ the moment you walk in, then you have to go with a stylish ‘vintage’ theme. Nothing defines elegance and style like the retros.

You can also host theme parties based on tv shows or movies, depending on what the bride and the bridesmaid would enjoy. Besides that, hiring a professional photographer to capture all the beautiful, crazy moments will make everyone happy. And, don’t forget about the costumes, decorations, sash for the bride, food, and props.

Hen parties are not always about bar crawling and club hopping. There are other exciting ways to throw a beautiful hen do for your BFF, without settling on the fun quotient. 

➢ You all can dress up in your chic French-Esque attires and enjoy a sophisticated wine and cheese night at a restaurant in Paris. Trade the wine for tequila shots later in the night and exchange fun stories with the bride-to-be.

➢ You can also plan a cocktail making session at the hen weekend. Stock bottles of vodka, low-cost cups, straws, and mixers to make it a night to remember. A cocktail making session does not require much effort but promises a fun time with your girl gang. 

➢ There is something luxurious about a spa session. What better way for the stressed-out bride to relax than a spa day, away from the hustle-bustle of wedding preparations. The spa session also makes for a good girl bonding time. The best part? You can also relax and take a break from running around, trying to make the bride and hens happy.

Planning a hen do is stressful. So, if you are nervous about how to meet the expectations of the bride-to-be or confused about a theme for the hen do, you can choose any of the ideas mentioned above and rest assured, it’ll be a hen do hosted like never before.

Don’t forget to carry the safety gear with you. In case, you girls find yourself in a difficult situation, where you have been attacked by an intruder, use pepper spray. I know this is the last thing you want to think about. But accidents can occur at any time and it’s better to be safe than sorry. Also, carry a pair of handcuffs to make sure the attacker can’t reattempt after the effect of pepper spray diminishes.
