Are you looking to inject even more fun with some hen do outfit themes Why not consider using one of our hen party theme ideas as inspo to get your hens in the party spirit. 

A few years ago, I was invited to a hen do and it was all very exciting until it was revealed that the theme of the hen weekend was that all the hens would be dressing up as Minions. Yes, Minions, as in from Despicable Me. 

Although initially horrified, I’ve never really suited yellow, I decided to get over myself and set about making the best minion outfit ever. 

And you know what? It wasn’t that bad! We all had a laugh and painted Manchester red in our yellow and blue get-ups so I decided that Minions wasn’t actually the worst of the hen party themes!

Since then, I’ve also been to a Harry Potter themed hen do and since I seem to be racking up the themed hen do experiences, I thought it was worth sharing some ideas for hen do themes! 

There must be plenty of great hen do fancy dress ideas that are just waiting to be tried out. Here is a roundup of some great hen do fancy dress ideas.

What if my friends won’t dress up for my themed hen do?

This likely to crop up, especially if you are having a larger group of friends come to your hen do, there is likely to be one or two who aren’t keen on any of these great themed hen party ideas.  

However, if you know this is something that the bride will love, or rather if you know it’s something she will HATE but that’s exactly why you’re doing it, then there are some things you can do to encourage your hen party themes.

While you obviously can’t force anyone to wear a pair of Harry Potter glasses all weekend long, it can help if you get the whole group chatting about hen party themes early on in order to drum up a bit of excitement and discussion about outfits and costume ideas. 

You could even let them know there will be a prize for the best hen costume on the night in order to add a little more incentive.

You could of course go with the ever-popular, Harry Potter hen do. I’ve been on one of these too and there are endless options for hen tshirts with Harry Potter references on them.
