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!
