Melbourne

We all know that Melbourne is a foodies paradise, nothing new there. So if you and your bridal party can take a weekend off your pre-wedding shredding, it’s a must-visit. There’s so many great spots to check out, but you can’t go pass breakfast at Top Paddock, lunch at Chin Chin (to skip the nighttime cues) and dinner at Mr. Miyagi.

And of course you can’t celebrate your hens night in Melbourne without having drinks on any one of the city’s rooftop bars.

Brisbane

For those who want a taste of the great outdoors but want to do it in a classy way, glamping is a fab idea. Less than two hours drive from Brisbane you’ll find Nightfall Camp, one of the state’s most exclusive glamping spots. 

Wake up the sounds of nature, head to the waterfall for a swim and indulge in a massage in the wilderness.

With only six adults staying at Nightfall at any one time, it’s best for a small hens group who want the ultimate in relaxation before the wedding.

Perth

Instead of finding a unique perfume for your wedding day, why not create one yourself? Clean State in Fremantle offers scent blending and perfume workshops using essential oils. 

TIP: Only wear your wedding day perfume when celebrating your anniversary to take you back to the moment you said ‘I do’ to your one and only.

At home – games and activities 

If you’re going to celebrate your hens night at home, games are a fun way to bond with your girl squad before the big day.

Here’s a few to try out:

Bride trivia

How well does everyone know bride? Think of approx. 10 to 15 questions about the bride and print them out for all the guests to answer in a certain timeframe. Once time is up, the bride should go through the answers and see who knows her best. A prize (a bottle of wine?) could be given to the winner. 

Here’s an example:

Toilet paper dresses

An oldie but a goodie. How it works is that your friends and family seperate into small groups with one person from each being chosen as the model or ‘bride’. Everyone then creates a dress from the toilet paper on their model before the fashion show where the dresses are shown off and the best one chosen as the winner. 

Play this one after a few games of prosecco pong and we’re sure there will be a few interesting designs amongst the mix!

Gift ideas

If you’re celebrating your hens party with a weekend getaway or overnight stay, matching silk pyjamas are a sweet gift idea to say thanks to your friends for celebrating with you. You can even get them personalised to make them unique. 

For the party-goers, a hangover survival kit is a must. Fill a box or bag with everything you’ll need to survive a night of dancing and drinking.
