The theme doesn't have to include costumes - it might revolve around forfeits, daytime activities or style of dress, for example... Here's a few pointers we've picked up when it comes to getting the recipe just right.
Some Ready Made Theme Ideas:
Here's a few ideas that you might want to incorporate in to your hen night:
Police Women Theme
If you're looking for something simple yet effective to set your group apart from the rest of the crowd, this is the answer. It's such a popular idea and the reason for that is simply because it's easy to carry off and it attracts so much attention. Kit out the girls in all of the essentials including our instant wpc set and you will have an outfit which fits the Bill.
Pink Police Woman Theme
If you are looking for a variation on a classic theme then how about the pink police woman idea. You stand out even more with this kind of gear on and you get bonus points for originality. We stock pretty much all of the usual accessories but in pink so you can stand out that little bit more when you hit the dance floor waving your pink truncheon around.
Angel Theme
How often is it that you are out on the town and you see a hen group rushing by wearing wings and halos as well as carying wands? All the time, exactly. This is such a popular hen night theme, one of the reasons for this being that there are so many varieties and colours of angel accessories available, and we have loads.
Fallen Angel Theme
Put a different spin on the classic angel theme by dressing the girls in black wings and halo's. Some people in your group have probably done the angel thing so it may be an idea to do something like this, something slightly different. We have a great selection of this kind of costume with all of the accessories you could need to make this into a head turning outfit if ever there was one.
Willy Theme
It seems that hen groups simply can not resist anything shaped like a willy. For this reason we stock so much of this kind of stuff that you can completely kit out your entire group. The perfect way to dress for an hilarious night out.
L Plate Theme
L plates are an essential item of any hen weekend, we're not quite sure why but they just are. In recent times we have moved on from the simply L Plate and now offer a full range of products with a huge bright L on them just so everybody knows you are on a hen night. Take a look at these products and find yourself a classic piece of hen night fancy dress.
Make Up Your Own Theme
Like forfeits, themes must reflect not only the desires of the bride but the sliding scale of exhibitionism in the group attendees. It's no use drawing up a 'strictly uniform' agenda (of Nurses, French maids and the like) if it is likely to make one or two of those going dread the experience and look for ways not to go. Part of the skill in bringing off a top class hen weekend is to look at all the characters going and tailor the theme accordingly. Compromise doesn't have to mean diluting the fun!
Keep It Practical And Keep It Simple
If the theme is to include costumes, you might want to keep cost down to a minimum (use this code "KDuCSsqPBc" to get 5% off our fancy dress costumes) and not don something impractical. Do you really have the bottle to wear very a bunny outfit on a November night in Edinburgh, for example? How funny will a long, flowing skirt be to you after 2 hours of being out? It might be good for kleptomaniacs in Safeways, but a "Gone With The Wind" theme is not going to be very popular in a packed club - providing you even get in, that is...
"Sorry Darling, Not With Those Horns You're Not"
Some venues won't allow your group access if they feel the costumes are likely to 'inflame' an atmosphere. Translated, this just means certain randy bouncers won't let a group of Devil Wig & Horns in because you haven't flirted with them on the door, but either way it's important to check in advance (with your event organisers) to make sure the club you try at the end of the night is 'theme-friendly'.
Get It Right Or There'll Be Hell "Toupee"...
There is an infinite number of possibilities. You might, for example, want to restrict the 'costumes' side of things to Wigs alone as many hen groups like to Print a T-shirt with the weekend nickname of each person on the front/back. Many hen trips away will include two nights, so you may want a different theme for each part of the weekend, in which case you should write to or email each of the group in advance with an agreed itinerary and instructions on what the theme is for the respective Friday and Saturday evenings. Altogether now... Veils at the ready... one, two, three, GO!
