Hello, amazing bridesmaids! Are you searching for a memorable way to celebrate your bride-to-be? Our hen party crafts are here to make your gathering unforgettable! Whether you're planning a family-friendly hen party or want to infuse some creativity into your celebration, we’ve got the perfect crafting ideas to make your event stand out.

Hen parties are all about celebrating the bride-to-be's transition into married life while cherishing the bonds of friendship and sisterhood. Incorporating craft activities into your hen party provides a unique opportunity to strengthen those connections. Whether you're a seasoned DIY enthusiast or a crafting novice, working on creative projects together allows you to chat, bond, and create lasting memories.

Crafting Themes for Every Bride:

  1. Floral Crown Workshop: Dive into the world of blooms with a floral crown-making party. Design stunning floral crowns that are not only Instagram-worthy but also perfect for group photos.
  2. Personalized T-Shirts, Makeup Bags, or Tote Bags: Explore various techniques such as tie-dye, cyanotype, block printing, rhinestones, or fabric paint to create customized t-shirts, makeup bags, or tote bags. These fun and functional items make fantastic keepsakes.
  3. Jewelry-Making Party: Craft exquisite pieces of jewelry, including resin charms, beaded bracelets, or tasselled earrings. This jewellery-making party is a wonderful way to bond and create special keepsakes to wear to the wedding.
  4. Bath Bomb Making: Create custom bath bombs that offer relaxation and fun. Perfect for family-friendly hen parties, these bath bombs make for a calming treat before the big day.
  5. Paint and Sip: Unleash your inner artist while enjoying your favourite beverages with a paint and sip party. No professional painting skills are needed—just enjoy the creative and social experience.
  6. Macrame Magic: Explore macrame techniques to craft stylish plant hangers or wall decor. This macrame workshop adds a touch of boho-chic to your celebration, and maybe even your wedding venue.

To make your crafting session even more enjoyable, set up a snacking station with a variety of treats and beverages. Don’t forget the bubbly for toasting! For catering, we have a fantastic partnership with Graze and More, offering a delectable range of food options to complement your crafting experience.

Add an extra layer of fun with crafting games or challenges. Consider a "Design-Off," where everyone creates a unique item and the bride picks her favourite. Prizes can be quirky craft supplies or mini DIY kits.

The best part? Each guest takes home a keepsake from the day—be it a floral crown, custom t-shirt, or piece of jewellery. Every time you look at your creation, you'll remember the fantastic time you had celebrating with your besties.

Incorporating crafts into your hen party is a fantastic way to create unforgettable memories and strengthen friendships. It’s a unique and engaging activity that lets everyone express their creativity while celebrating the bride-to-be.
