Afternoon tea is a perfect opportunity to give the bride-to-be a sophisticated Hen party that oozes class.
We’ve got 5 reasons why a Tea Party is the perfect activity, along with some venue/host inspiration to help the planning process.
For those who love DIY challenges, Hobby craft hauls and hours obsessing over Pinterest… we have the best craft Hen party inspo for you all in one place.
The beauty of the following suggestions is the lack of planning they require from you (as the maid of honour, bride or hen). Simply pick a day when all guests are available.
Renowned for their iconic eyeshadow collections Too Faced have started 2018 with a bang, launching not one but two drool worthy palettes.
After the undoubtable success of the ‘Sweet Peach Palette’, this new palette contains 12 similarly dreamy shades. Made up of matte, shimmer and glitter shadows. Our favourite look to create with these colours is a deep plum smoky eye using shade ‘peach passion’ all over the lid. This look will look particularly stunning paired with a little black dress. So if you’re hitting the town on your Hen do, take note!
Life’s a Festival If you’re unicorn, mermaid or Coachella obsessed this palette will fit you down to a T. Now available for pre-order this palette is all you need to achieve festival glam! Duo-chrome shades such as ‘Dusk Teal Dawn’ and ‘Beamin’ offer shade-shifting, pearlescent results.
Admittedly the packaging does give us slightly childish, Claire’s accessories vibes, however you can’t deny the quality of Too Faced shadows. They are richly pigmented, giving vibrant colour pay-off which will stay put all day; perfect for a glamping Hen party with lots of activities.
This collaboration with the well-loved children’s brand Polly Pocket makes us feel delightfully nostalgic. Available in 3 fantasy like colour combinations the collection accommodates whatever your style, whether you’re into warm everyday tones or unique vibrant colours.
The extra fabulous element about these palettes is their size; they can literally fit into your pocket! Therefore, they are a great space saver in luggage if you’re staying away on a girl’s weekend.
Although this palette only has 5 shades and it may seem like other brands are better value for money, don’t be put off.
Not only is the packaging for this palette b-e-a-u-tiful, incrusted with mermaid like gems. It also has the most amazing eyeshadow shades. All of which are metallic, foil eyeshadows that literally melt into the lid. They are so heavily pigmented you can put them on using your fingers which is an absolute lifesaver if you are always running late like us!
BH CosmeticsSummer is just around the corner, so it’s time to liven up your eye game. Inspired by the Brazilian carnival this palette screams exotic, flirtatious vibes. The colour pigments are equally as eye-catching on pale and dark skin; ranging from fuchsia pink, aqua and lime green. With 32 shades your options are endless, layering and blending colours to match your outfit or even your mood. Ideal for a daring bride!
A rather controversial palette when it launched last year however it has definitely become a holy grail product in our makeup bags. Yes, there are tons of warm/orange-based shadows available but Urban Decays’ formula, to me, is unbeatable. You can effortlessly create sultry daytime looks for a bridal shower or instead make intense smoky night-time looks for a Bachelorette weekend.
Morphe BrushesA cool toned eye shadow palette can be hard to find these days and as much as we love pink and red, this Koffee palette is much more likely to stand the test of time. With 35 shades… yes I said 35 you are able to put together endless wearable, neutral makeup looks. There is a selection of earthy matte tones and gunmetal shimmers perfect if you’re feeling edgy. No doubt this will become a staple product on your dressing table. The only downside is it’s rather big, so not ideal for travel and applying makeup on the go.

As bride you are the star of the show, on your wedding day and at your Hen do. The Team Bride collection is a combination of beautiful bridal shower décor, hen party props, and bride-to-be games/keepsakes.
Celebrating the newest releases in the collection we have narrowed down our favourite pieces.
Unlike the rest of the range, these new ‘Miss to Mrs’ balloons will bring a bright pop of pink to your venue.
By inflating them with a combination of helium and hand blown air, the delicate confetti will float around the transparent balloon, sticking to the sides.
This creates a magical effect, perfect for this fairy-tale time in your life.
The new product launch leaves no one left out!
No awkward moment when the ‘Mother of the Bride’ gets a sash but the ‘Mother of the Groom’ doesn’t (ahh panic)!
The Team Bride collection includes high quality sashes for all your Hen party attendees; from Maid of Honour to Bridesmaid, featuring rose gold foiling and scalloped edging.
Even those guests without a ‘main’ role in your wedding can wear a ‘Team Bride’ sash showing their love and appreciation for the future Mrs.
If it’s not on social media, did it ever really happen?!
You want your Hen party pictures to be ‘on point’ so that you can cherish them forever (and to make that one girl from school green with envy obviously).
Well you’re in luck. The Team Bride collection has multiple photo prop options, so you can unleash your inner selfie queen.
The classic photo props include a pack of 10 pretty pink props; enough for everyone to join in with the selfie stick fun, even your Great Aunt Mabel!
If you're looking for a pretty backdrop, then look no further than the new Miss to Mrs bunting, and ring tassel garlandIf you want something your Hens can be captured wearing throughout the event, your best bet is the mini party crowns or the new novelty glasses. Both of which are a gorgeous pale pink, with rose gold foiling. Definitely a more sophisticated and stylish alternative to willy headbands.
Although weddings are a happy time, there’s bound to be a few tears shed. Whether it be your mum who is nervous for you or that single friend who doesn’t want to lose their drinking buddy.
The ‘goodbye miss’ keepsake book is the perfect way to capture those high running emotions.
Get each member of your bride squad to write a message on a page. It could be words of wisdom, a good luck wish or even reminiscing on a funny story. All of which you can then look back on in the future years.
You could even use it as a scrapbook, taking polaroid pictures throughout your Hen party and sticking them in adjacent to each message.
Our final favourite comes in the form of a childhood party classic.
The pass the parcel game kit comes with everything you need to make your Hens feel nostalgic and also howl with laughter! All you need is a cheeky prize to wrap up.
Each layer of tissue paper will enclose a forfeit card which you can compose yourself beforehand. Be as daring and as scandalous as possible!
Along with their prize the winner also gets a glamorous pair of ‘Winner’ glasses, so they officially get bragging rights for the rest of the night!
