Have you been tasked with planning an alternative hen party? Has the bride-to-be declared that a traditional hen party isn’t her cup and tea, and she wants something more unconventional?

If you’re seeking something different for your hen party, then explore these alternative hen party ideas that offer a refreshing twist. Plan a memorable hen party that suits her personality and preferences.

 

Wellness Retreats

Creative Workshops

Great for the creative brides-to-be and getting the whole bride tribe involved, there is something for everyone. From cooking classes, cocktail making, painting, pottery, or even flower crown making, these hands-on activities offer a fun and interactive way to spend your hen party time together.
