Looking for the perfect hens party ideas for your bride-to-be? Add a touch of TLC to your celebration with creative, relaxing experiences that promise to leave everyone feeling calm and rejuvenated.

Wedding planning can be incredibly stressful, so taking charge of the hens party is a wonderful way to ensure the bride and her friends get the relaxation they deserve. From soothing watercolour painting to the cosy art of candle making, there are plenty of low-key hens party ideas that encourage mindfulness and tranquility. Whether you’re searching for fun activities in Sydney or looking for Perth workshops focused on self-care, these classy hens party activities are designed to relax and energise the bride-to-be, making the lead-up to the big day a peaceful and memorable experience.

1. Embrace self-care in a soy candle making class

Soy candles are not only great to have around the house but are also super fun to make and a great way to relieve stress. Customise your candle so that it smells just how you want it to and enjoy the benefits as you burn it at home.

Not only will you be helping the planet by choosing soy wax and crafting the candles yourself, but you are also working with a material that burns for longer, meaning more relaxing nights with your personalised candle burning in the background. Soy candle making workshops are popular in Sydney and Melbourne but you and your hens can also make candles from home with our range of DIY candle kits. Perfect for those looking for hens party ideas at home.

2. Customise a relaxing scent in a fragrance class

It’s no secret that creating scents can help to reduce stress levels. If you're looking for something to help your girls feel more relaxed, fragrance classes make for a perfect hens night idea. Learn how to use natural ingredients and essential oils to create a scent that will help you unwind in an aromatherapy class or try out a fragrance workshop where you can learn more about the science of creating scents. With plenty of perfume and fragrance workshops in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth, there is no reason to skip the opportunity to learn how to create a scent that will calm everybody down just in time for the wedding.

3. Play with flowers in a floristry class

There are so many benefits to working with flowers and having them in your home. Whether you are interested in making a beautiful flower crown or trying out a flower arrangement class like Ikebana, flowers are proven to boost positivity and calm even the most stressed of brides!

As the pre-wedding jitters set in, our skin can be what suffers the most. To guarantee smooth and fresh skin for the big day, try out an organic skincare class and indulge in some pampering with your bridal party. Make everything from bath products, facial creams and body butters, and treat your skin to some loving! 

Learn how to make your own skincare products in an online workshop, or enjoy a relaxing pamper session with your friends in a Melbourne workshop. You will be able to create your own organic skincare range using the same ingredients you would find at home and choose a class that can be tailored to the bride-to-be on her hens day.

5. Unwind as you paint with watercolours

Watercolour painting is a great way to relax and enjoy some time together with your besties. No matter what city across the country you're based in, you will learn how to paint beautiful images using only watercolours and water. There are so many variations in the way that you can paint, whether you are looking for an abstract piece or more of an impressionist creation, there is something for everyone!

Enjoy a glass of wine (or two) as you create a watercolour artwork in a Melbourne paint and sip class for your springtime hens party activity. Or create a masterpiece in Perth with our beginner watercolour classes. Experience the flowing sensation of painting with watercolour and learn how to paint something truly beautiful.

6. Pamper the group with a massage

Massage workshops are an excellent way to relax with your bridal party, as you learn how to give a professional massage. Learn how to give the bride-to-be or any other member of the bridal party a relaxing massage by booking into an in-person workshop.

This is a special treat for all the girls and will give everyone some valuable skills that they can implement at home. Try out a Sydney massage workshop or follow an online tutorial with your bridal party from home. With this unique hens party idea, there is no reason why anyone should have tight muscles on the big day!

7. Indulge in a makeup class

If you're looking for at home hens party ideas, a private makeup class is just the thing! Let the makeup expert come to you and give you and the girls a rundown on the best makeup looks for their complexion and how to achieve the perfect full-face makeup look before you and the group get to work applying your newly learned makeup tips and tricks. Play some music, procure some drinks and nibbles, and enjoy bonding with the girls while you mindfully apply makeup. Better yet, a makeup class can act as the relaxing hens activity before the festivities ramp up for a wild hens night. The best part is you'll all look great with your made-up faces.

8. Practice mindfulness in a meditation class

What better way to relax with your bridal party than with a meditation class? A meditation class will ensure that everyone can focus on themselves and be more mindful. With classes offered all over Australia, you are sure to learn how to meditate properly and create an untroubled atmosphere with your group of leading ladies.

Learn how to meditate using breathing techniques and movement in an online class or try something new like a spiritual art workshop in Perth. These classes are great outdoor hens party ideas to rejuvenate your group of besties and even gain the skills to practice mindfulness in your daily lives.

9. Manifest love with a vision board workshop

Get the bride-to-be thinking about the marriage after the wedding to remind herself what's really important with a vision board workshop. Whether she needs a bit more inspiration for the wedding day or wants to manifest the marriage of her dreams, a vision board workshop is a powerful way to mindfully set some intentions. If you have yourself a Pinterest-loving bride then this is a hens party idea that she's sure to find both interesting and relaxing.

With so many hens party ideas out there, choosing just one can be the most difficult part! However, no matter what you choose, our creative experiences are designed to help you and your hens party guests relax and get ready for the big day, and create an experience that you will never forget.
