5 Things To Put In Your Hen Do Party Bags
Posted on: 03/07/2023
Are you tasked with creating gift bags for an upcoming hen do? Don’t panic! We’ve compiled five must-have items to help you tailor your hen do gift bag ideas to the hens in question. From fun props to personal presents, here's how to make your hen do party bags stand out.
Pamper Products
Treat your guests to a little taste of the spa with a pamper product. The direction you want to go with this is in your hands, as your guests will often have differing tastes. But if you're planning a spot of pampering during the hen do, this is a great way to add interactive gifts, such as a face mask.
Who doesn't love a manicure? You could compile a luxury nail varnish, cuticle oil, and nail file in one gift bag. Alternatively, someone might be into skincare, in which case moisturisers, serums, or cleansers may be the way forward. You could even pull together a few sample sizes. Otherwise, make-up is another great route to go down for your hen do gift bags. There's plenty of inspiration online.
A Hen Do Prop
From sashes to cowboy hats, like those worn by Sophie Habboo, including a hen do prop in a gift bag means you can align with the theme or add a bit of humour into the mix. Ridiculous props can help the group to mingle and get excited about the event. Plus, the photos will be 10 times more animated, giving you plenty of fun memories.
You might brave it out on the town in your props or keep them within your venue. Either way, you can have a laugh with the group and get the bride excited for the upcoming celebrations. How raunchy you go is up to you, but you can certainly have fun with it!
A Photo With The Bride
Want to add a personal keepsake into the mix? Choose a photo of the bride-to-be with the recipient of your hen do party bag and print it. It's bound to evoke emotion, particularly if that guest has a long history of friendship with them.
If the budget allows, you could go one step further and add a personalised frame to make the gift even more special. This will add a sentimental touch to the gift-opening process and prompt a reminder of why the celebration is happening in the first place!
A Piece Of Jewellery
A piece of jewellery always goes down a treat. And the good news is that all tastes can be catered for. Keep things consistent with the same item or tailor your choice to the individual. Vibrant earrings, a classic gold necklace, or a dainty ring – think about what will best complement the recipient's look or the outfit they plan to wear on the big day.
To utilise the jewellery theme, you might also do a whip-round to put money towards a special piece of diamond jewellery for the bride so that she can receive this in her hen do gift bag.
A Miniature Bottle Of Drink
Dainty bottles of drink are all the rage. These photogenic trinkets are regularly chosen as wedding favours on the big day. So, hop on the trend and add a miniature bottle of something special to your hen do party bag.
If you know the guests well enough, you could customise your choices. You might have a prosecco fiend on your hands, or a pink gin lover, for example. Be sure to cater to those who are alcohol-free too. You can get plenty of alcohol-free gin, flavours of tonic water, or fancy cordials. It also means everyone can raise a toast to the bride once the hen party shenanigans begin, making them a great hen do gift bag idea.
