Hen Party Decoration Ideas: How to Decorate for a Hen Do

Decorations turn a holiday let, a hotel room or your living room into a proper hen party, and they make every photo better. Here are our favourite hen party decoration ideas, from all-in-one sets to backdrops, balloons and a table worth sharing.

1. Start with a decoration set

The easiest way to decorate is with a set that has everything for one theme in a single box. Each of our sets is £24.99:

• Last Disco: silver foil curtains, disco ball balloons and shimmer.
• Last Rodeo: hot pink and western.
• Something Blue: soft and romantic.
• Tying the Knot: chic bows.
• Mamma Mia: aqua and silver.
• 'Til Death Do Us Party: gothic glam.
• Malibu Pink: all the pink.

2. Create a photo backdrop

Every hen do needs a spot for the group photo. A foil curtain is cheap, quick to hang and looks amazing on camera.

• Iridescent Disco Ball Foil Curtain (£2.99)
• Pink Heart Foil Curtain (£2.99)
• Rose Gold Diamond Foil Curtain (£2.99)
• Foil fringe curtains, 2 packs, in rose gold, silver, gold or hot pink (£4.99)

Add photo booth props (£4.99) for the funniest pictures of the weekend. See all backdrops and props.

3. Hang a banner

A glitter banner over the backdrop or above the bride's bed pulls the room together, from £1.99. Try Let's Go Party, Miss to Mrs, Her Last Rodeo, Dancing Queen or the Pink Bride to Be Garland. Browse all banners.

4. Go big on balloons

• Bow balloons in pink, cream or blue (£3.99)
• Disco Ball Balloons, 4 pack (£4.99)
• Heart foil balloons in rose gold, silver or pink (£3.99)
• Letter balloons to spell out BRIDE or her name
• And for a laugh, jumbo penis balloons (£6.99)

See every style in our balloons collection.

5. Decorate the bride's room

Surprise her with a decorated room when she arrives. Our Bride Room Balloon Set (£11.99), also in white and silver, has BRIDE letter balloons and heart balloons for the bed.

6. Set the table

A styled table makes dinner or brunch feel like an event. Our tableware sets (£15.99) give you a matching table for eight, with plates, cutlery, cups, a table cover, napkins and confetti.

Tips for a table worth photographing:

• Pick two or three colours and stick to them, from the napkins to the flowers.
• Add height with a centrepiece, a vase of flowers or a grazing board. Our Engagement Ring Grazing Board Kit (£4.99) is a showstopper.
• Scatter table confetti down the middle of the table, around the plates or inside clear balloons. Try disco ball, cowboy hat, pink bow or pink diamond confetti (£2.99).
• Finish with the drinks: straws and cups on theme.

Decorating tips

• Check the venue rules. Many holiday lets don't allow confetti or tape on walls, so pack removable hooks.
• Check how each balloon fills. Some are air fill and some need helium, so read the listing and bring a balloon pump.
• Decorate before the bride arrives, so the first thing she sees is the full reveal.
• Order in good time. We'd suggest at least a week before the hen do.
