Treat your crafty bride-to-be to a unique experience with these fun and creative workshops and activities. Not only will you have a blast, but you'll also add a touch of elegance to the celebration—just what the bride-to-be deserves on her special day.

Check out the list below for some inspiration for classy hens party ideas! 

A pampering hen’s party

What we love about a luxurious hen’s party is that it achieves both comfort and class. A classic version of the pampering hen’s party includes a trip to a day spa or a relaxing overnight retreat. If you’re looking for something a little bit more hands-on and social, there are classes that can make the pampering more active and engaging. By signing the girls up for a soap making class, soy candle workshop or essential oils class, you can add a creative spin to the traditional luxurious hens party ideas. Plus, after this classy hens party is over, everyone in the group will go home with their handmade creations as a memento from the day!

Floral fun

You can never go astray when you add florals to an occasion so why not try incorporating a floristry class as a hens activity? With a bunch of classes to choose from, you can customise the class to suit your needs and you know it will always be beautiful and classy. If the hens party is hosted at a home, get the floristry teacher to come to you! They'll bring all the materials needed for you and your friends to create stunning bouquets. Bond over the art of flower arranging and maybe even give the bride some ideas for her wedding flowers. If you're looking for an outdoor adventure, why not consider attending an outdoor flower crown making class? With the sun shining down and a gentle breeze in the air, you and your friends can learn the art of crafting beautiful flower crowns. It's a wonderful way to tap into your creative side and create something truly unique. Add a picnic blanket and some nibbles and drinks and your hens party is looking super elegant. Think of the beautiful photos of you and your friends in flower crowns.

If you’re looking for something with even more of a meditative aspect, you can centre your hens party around a tranquil Ikebana class, the art of Japanese flower arranging. Another option - ditch the real flowers altogether. You can create a classy and fun activity where you learn how to make amazing floral art with embroidery. No matter how you incorporate flowers into your hen’s party, they will make everyone in the group feel relaxed while keeping all of the elegance of a great hens party.

Gourmet glam

What bride-to-be doesn’t want to roll up her sleeves and share a wonderful meal with her best friends and loved ones? However, finding the right food-based activity for a hens party is not easy. 

Do you want the food to be more on the gourmet side to keep the party as classy as possible, but want to keep the atmosphere light and energetic? You're in luck! There are loads of options to help you achieve the sophisticated hens party you're after. How about trying your hand at creating visually stunning and delicious dishes at a Vietnamese cooking class? Or perhaps mastering the art of traditional sushi-making at a Japanese cooking class? And let's not forget Spanish cooking classes with Sangria—they're super popular and guaranteed to be a hit with your bridesmaids. These fun-filled classes will have everyone in the group engaged and in awe of their gourmet culinary creations. You won't believe how amazing your homemade food will taste! So why wait?

Something blue

You’ve heard the old saying, “something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue.” It’s an old rhyme that suggests what a bride should wear on her wedding day for good luck. One trend we’re excited to see is something blue hens party themes. It doesn’t necessarily mean that everyone has to create the blue item that the bride will wear on her big day, but it can help to give the day a fun yet classy theme. You might, for instance, invite all of the guests to wear blue dresses while the bride-to-be stands out in white.

Another way to incorporate the something blue theme is to sign up for activities where blue is the star of the show. Indigo Shibori Dyeing classes, for instance, use a stunning blue dye to transform clothing and linen bags into works of art that the bridesmaids will cherish forever. In a Stoneware Ceramics Class, each member of the hen’s group will walk away with an elegant mug or cup with a beautiful blue glaze. You could even sign the girls up for a fun earring making class where each bridesmaid can make blue earrings to wear for the rest of the night!

There are lots of fun ways to incorporate something blue into classy hens party ideas!
