We’re going to do our best to bring you the best of the UK’s hen party decorations that aren’t tacky!

Hen Party Banners

Whether you’ve booked a house for the weekend or if it’s just a dinner with friends, a hen party banner is one of the best ways of sprucing up your surroundings and making the room hen party-ready.

Best Hen Party Banners – Our Favourites

Hen do banners come in 100s of different designs. You can plump for something nice and simple such as “Happy Hen Do” or go for a personalised version like, “Kate’s Hen Do.”

This is just a selection of our top hen party banners, but there are so many cute and creative options to choose from so have a browse around!

Hen Party Balloons

You can’t have a party without balloons, right?

There are loads of fun balloon options, ranging from wedding-themed shape balloons such as rings to confetti-filled balloons and balloon’s with the bride’s name on them.

Best Hen Party Balloons – Our Favourites

With hen party balloons it is best to pick out a couple of colours that fit with your colour scheme, or with the wedding’s colour scheme, and stick with them.

It’s often much more effective to have fewer colours.

There’s also a great game that requires at least one balloon, so head over to our Hen Party Games article to check that out.

What is a balloon garland?

One of the hottest trends for hen party decorations in 2021 are balloon garlands.

You can buy a balloon garland kit for around £15* and create a stunning centrepiece for to your hen party decorations.

It’s perfect as a backdrop for all those hen party selfies too!

Hen Party Photo Booth Frames

We expect there are going to be plenty of photos taken at your hen party.

If you want your photos to be the most gram’-worthy, then you might consider investing in a hen party selfie frame.

Hen Party Photo Booths

You can choose whether to just buy the downloadable template for your hen party photo booth then get it printed, or have the finished cardboard or foam frame sent to you.

The great thing about buying the bride a customised hen party booth frame for selfies is that it’s a great souvenir from the weekend that she can keep afterwards!

Hen Party Tableware

No doubt your hen weekend is going to involve copious amounts of eating and drinking!

If you’ve booked a hen party house then it’s likely that the kitchen will already be kitted out with all the bits you need.

But if you want to add in a few extras, you can get some really cute hen-related plates, cups, table confetti, glass charms, straws etc.

Best Hen Party Cups

Best Hen Party Straws

Is a hen party a hen party without a willy straw? See our favourite hen party willy straws and non-willy straws below.

Do think about the negative impact that plastic straws have on the environment and consider going for either paper straws if at all possible.

Hen Party Bunting

We love a bit of bunting here at Plan The Hen. It’s a great way of using hen party decorations to doll up an otherwise boring room and making it feel like a real celebration space.

It’s also great if you are trying to create a vintage hen party vibe.

Check out our favourite hen party bunting ideas below, or you could make your own!

Bunting is quite similar to the hen party banners further up so you might decide you don’t need both.

Themed Hen Party Decoration Ideas

If you’re going with a particular style or trend for your hen party then you might want to carry that on with the hen party decorations.

How about botanical hen party decorations? Or if the bride is a fan of the classic look then go for a floral look.

In the suggestions below you can find a mix of different hen party decorations all centred around popular themes for 2021.

Botanical Hen Party Decorations

The botanical trend has got us good in recent years hasn’t it?

If you are looking for botanical-themed hen party decorations then we’ve selected a few of our favourites to lend your bash an earthy-eco vibe.

Floral Hen Party Decorations

You can’t beat a floral theme when it comes to hen party decor, it’s a complete failsafe that will create a classy and timeless look.

When choosing your floral hen party supplies you might want to think about pairing them with some fresh flowers to be delivered to the venue or your accommodation for the special weekend.

Browse the kinds of flowers you might like in advance so you can match them to your floral hen decorations.

You might also consider getting the hens some flower crowns* to top it all off!

Rose Gold Hen Party Decorations

We all love a bit of rose gold when it comes to organising a hen party don’t we?

Those dusty rose hues create the perfect balance between girly and chic that lots of us long for in our hen party snaps.

Luckily, there are loads of options for rose gold hen party decorations, everything from balloons to banners to cutlery!

Hen Party Decorations – how to create a vintage look

Are you planning a vintage-style hen party? The decorations you choose will really help you set the atmosphere for the event.

Why not consider making your own diy bunting from scraps of vintage material, or even trying to get hold of some original bunting from a bygone era? This is a great way to save money too.

5 shops to buy great hen party decorations

Etsy is like the Yellow Pages for hen party accessories so you definitely need to swing by there.

Over 2.5 million creators sell their handicrafts on Etsy so you’ll be sure to find just the right thing.

If you think we’ve missed any major hen party decoration shops, or even smaller ones, then let us know in the comments!

Hen Party Decoration Ideas

If you’ve rented somewhere to stay with your hens for your last weekend of freedom, or if you are the Maid-of-Honour who has organised the accommodation then you might be starting to think about which decorations you need for the event.

If you’ve booked large group accommodation then it’s likely that it will have a sizeable living-dining room where you are likely to spend the majority of your time as a group.

We’d recommend focusing your hen party decoration efforts in this large room as by concentrating on one area you will be able to achieve the biggest impact for the most affordable cost and effort.

Garden Hen Party Decoration Ideas

If you are having a summer hen weekend and your accommodation has some nice outdoor space, then you should definitely consider making a feature of the garden with some decorations.

One lovely idea for garden decor is to set up an al fresco dining space and style it in a way that the bride will love.

For example, how about this laidback DIY garden decor idea using just some pallets, a large rug or blanket and some flowers.

If the bride you are decorating for enjoys more of a colourful and eclectic vibe then your garden decor could be more along the lines of this idea.

Again, it’s really simple to do and quite a low cost, simply buy some garden lights, a few pompom style decorations and string some bunting up over the table.

The great thing about an eclectic hen party decoration theme is that you can ask the hens to all bring something to contribute to it and the overall effect will be colourful, mismatched loveliness!

Weather-proof your hen party decor

It’s the UK, and while we all love a bit of British summertime, we know that it’s not the most reliable when it comes to the weather.

If you are planning to organise a fancy garden set up at your hen party pad then it might be wise to consider having a hen party gazebo* on hand in case of a downpour.

It’s a good idea to check with your accommodation before buying a gazebo for a hen party as they might be able to lend you one.

We hope that has give you oodles of hen party decor ideas and you’re going away to share your favourites with the rest of the bridesmaids and put together your mood board for the event.

Be sure to share your hen party decor creations and achievements with us on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook when the weekend arrives!
