HEN PARTY FANCY DRESS THEMES
If you want to add another element of fun to your Hen party, we have listed our top themes ideas to use in making your Hen party special. Remember to give everyone plenty of notice that the party will be fancy dress. This should give people enough time and scope to get creative and plan their outfits. Most importantly, do consult with the bride-to-be first regarding what theme she would be comfortable with!
1. SEX AND THE CITY THEME – Sophisticated hens who enjoy getting dressed up will enjoy this theme. This would work particularly well with those doing the cocktail-making class and/ or traveling by limo. Wear your sexy cocktail dress, LBDs, plunging necklines and accessorise with the highest heels of course!
2. BLACK & BLING - Diamonds are a girls best friend! This is a very simple theme to co-ordinate the Hen party. Get all the girls to dress in their little black numbers and get the Hen to dress in a little white number. Then decorate liberally with diamonds (or your best bling!!) You'll sparkle on the dance floor!
3. COLOURS - Another very simple idea to co-ordinate the party is to simply pick the Hen's favourite colour as the dress code.
4. FLOWER POWER - Go Hawaiian for the night! Weather (and courage!) permitting, you could go all out and wear bikinis, grass skirts and flower garlands. The boys will all be saying "aloha" to you in this essemble!! Alternatively, for a less intrusive look; get each girl to wear a flower in her hair or a flower garland around her neck. Perhaps the Hen could wear a couple of white flowers in her hair, while everyone else wears a coloured one.
5. FLAPPERS (1920s) - Embrace this sexy, vintage look from the 1920s when a new liberated breed of women emerged who wore short skirts, daring bobbed hair styles, strong makeup, drank and smoked and partied hard. The original hen party ethos?! Draw inspiration from Catherine Zeta Jones in Chicago!
6 . FRENCH MAIDS - Dress in your LBD, don a white, lacy pinny and grab a feather duster. Hopefully you run into some dirty boys to clean up! Plus the feather duster will prove a wonderful prop to poke the barman with!!
7. D-I-S-C-O - Get your groove on with a 70's Disco Party Theme! We’re talking about fabulous ‘fros, heavy makeup, oversized glasses, sparkling outfits, flares, platforms, floral and paisley prints! Think Abba and Dancing Queens and enjoy a night of D.I.S.C.O cheese.
8. NIGHTMARE BRIDESMAID DRESS COMPETITION - A fun, zany idea is to dress up in nasty bridesmaids’ dresses. It should be easy to find a hideous outfit in any charity shop. Have everyone do a bad job on their makeup and give out prizes for the worst outfits and makeovers!
9. SEXY SAILORS - If the hen party is in a coastal location, why not consider dressing up as sexy sailors? This nautical (but nice!) theme is easy to achieve with navy and white clothing. Stripes and maybe the colour red should definitely feature somewhere on the outfil. Don't forget the sailor caps!
10. NAUGHTY SCHOOL GIRLS - Nothing attracts more male attention than the schoolgirl outfits. Have everyone dress in a sexy manner like Britney Spears in her breakthrough video with pigtails, thick make-up, a uniform miniskirt and white shirt with knee-high socks. Look innocent but be motivated by the attitude and bad behavior of “St. Trinian's” schoolgirls! Hopefully you can find some naughty boys to misbehave with!!
11. TENNIS STARS - Wimbledon provides the inspiration for this cute summer Hen party theme. Get all the girls to wear the smallest white skirts and t-shirts. Don't forget to accessorise with sweat bands and battered old rackets.
12. GI JANE – This conjures up images of masculine camouflage gear and hobnail boots. Instead, look to the “Survivor” video by Destiny’s Child for inspiration on how to make this military look sexy.
13. HORNY DEVILS PARTY – Get everyone to wear bold red clothes to get into this devil theme. Accessorise with horns for a guaranteed ice-breaker with the boys!
14. ANGELS – Call to mind Victoria Secret’s Models dressed in white lingerie and wearing feathered wings, then take this look as far as you want! Weather permitting of course!!
15. FOOTBALL FANS – If the Hen is a sports fan, why not consider dressing up as her favourite football team? With a little imagination and a good pair of scissors, you can make the strip more feminine and definitely sexier!!
16. PIMPS & HOES – Bring out your inner diva and dress up in scantily clad clothing for a night out on the town. The men will be salivating when the girls show up in their hottest clothing at the bar and club. Bunny costumes, Feather Boas, Mesh Stockings, Bikini Tops, Hot Pants, Mini Skirts, Black Bow Ties, and plenty of Bling will all wow onlookers. Dressed like hoes, you might meet some pimps on a stag night to hook up with for some fun!
17. PINK LADIES – Is your Hen the first on the dance floor when the Grease soundtrack starts up? If so, then this is the theme for her. Think big hair, pink bomber jacket, black leggings and get practicing your Greased Lightnin' moves.
18. MATCHING T-SHIRTS - Get hen party slogan t-shirts for each girl to wear or even have them customised with an embarrassing picture of the Hen!
19. SUPERHEROINES/ SUPERVILLAINESS – Don a secret identity and save the party from obscurity! There’s a host of comic book superheroes and villains to impersonate such as Wonder Woman, Batgirl, Bat Woman, Catwoman, Supergirl, The Bionic Woman, She-ra, Spider-Woman, The Invisible Woman, Æon Flux, Elektra, Lara Croft, Xena: Warrior Princess, Poison Ivy, Rogue, Mystique or Storm from X-men etc. You could even make up some of your own - like Wonder Bra. This theme should definitely score well with the comic book nerds still hiding inside grown-up males! Go Girl Power!!
20. FAIRY TALES & NURSERY RHYMES - If you grew up on a diet of fairy tales and Walt Disney, why not use this occasion to indulge in the quintessential girlie theme? Are you a Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Rapunsel, Little Bo Beep, Alice in Wonderland, Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella., Goldilocks........ this list is endless! Now that you have found your Prince; you need to find everyone else at the Hen Party their very own Prince Charming!!
21. PIRATES - Don't just leave this fun theme to the boys and make the naughty ones "walk the plank"!
22. PYJAMA PARTY - This pyjama party for grown-ups might hold particular appeal to groups away for a Hen weekend. It could be a night in to catch up and chill out with the girls before the big events on Saturday. Doesn't spending Friday night dressed in your favourite pj's, swigging prosecco and gobbling chocolate sound fantastic? Do each other's hair, make-up, mani/ pedis, watch your favourite rom-coms and dance to the hen anthems on your iPod. A decadent night in for the girls (and any boys you meet will love to hear about pillow fights in pj's!!)
