10 At-Home Hen Party Entertainment Ideas

When it comes to hen parties, more and more brides-to-be are choosing to celebrate in style from the comfort of their own homes. In fact, a recent survey revealed that 42% of hens now prefer the cosy yet fun vibe of a house party over a traditional night out. And why not? 

With complete control over the playlist, unlimited karaoke sing-alongs, and no last orders to worry about, an at-home hen do is the perfect excuse to let loose and create unforgettable memories with all the hens.

Whether you’re transforming your living room into a karaoke stage or hosting a garden party with your favourite drinks on tap, the possibilities are endless. The bride deserves a hen party that’s as unique as she is, and with a little creativity, you can plan a night filled with laughter, fun games, and plenty of music to keep everyone dancing until the early hours.

10 Unique Hen Party Ideas

Planning hen party activities can be just as exciting (if not more!) than a traditional night out. With endless possibilities and all the cheeky favourite hen party games, you can tailor the event to the bride’s personality while keeping the fun in full swing.

From lively karaoke sessions to creative cocktail-making and cheeky games, you’ll find plenty of ways to make the bride's send-off truly special.

1. Karaoke Showdown – Hit the High Notes 🎤

Let’s be honest, there’s no hen party quite like a karaoke hen party. Whether the bride-to-be is a Mariah in the making or prefers to belt out a bit of ABBA with all the hens, a home karaoke session is guaranteed to get the party started. Lucky for you, you don’t need to queue up in some dark pub to get your moment in the spotlight—you can do it all from the comfort of your hen party house!

Crank up your favourite karaoke machine and let the hen party guests take turns showing off their vocal skills. To spice things up, turn it into a competition with fun prizes for categories like “Best Solo Performance,” “Most Dramatic Duet,” and “Worst Singer but Best Effort.” With each song, the bride-to-be will be singing her heart out and creating unforgettable memories that’ll last a lifetime.

2. Cocktail-Making Masterclass – Shaken, Stirred, and Sassy 🍸

You don’t need to be Tom Cruise to shake up a storm in the drinks department. Get your bridal party together for a cocktail-making masterclass at home, where you’ll not only sip your favourite drinks but also learn how to create them like pros.

Whether it's classic cocktails like Cosmopolitans or something bubbly and sweet like a Pornstar Martini, it’s a great way to loosen up and let the party flow. Add a cheeky twist by naming each cocktail after iconic hen party moments, or give the drinks a musical theme—how about a Gin & Tonic Turner or a Sloe Gin Dion? The bride deserves a last hurrah to remember, and nothing says celebration quite like raising a glass (or three) to her future.

3. Mrs Quiz Video – Test Your Hen Party Knowledge 🎥

The Mrs Quiz is an absolute must-do for a good hen night! Before the party, you can record the groom answering all kinds of fun, quirky questions about the bride, and during the party, the hens (and the bride-to-be) get to guess what the groom’s responses were.

Will he remember the bride’s favourite pizza topping? Does he know her most played song on Spotify? There’s nothing quite like a bit of pre-wedding trivia to kick off some giggles and maybe even a few surprises. It’s the perfect excuse to see just how well the happy couple really know each other—spoiler: this one always results in some hilarious revelations!

4. Fancy Dress Fashion Show – Strut Your Stuff 🎭

If you’ve got a wardrobe full of wigs, old bridesmaid dresses, and questionable accessories from years of forgotten fancy dress parties, now’s the time to give them a new lease of life. Set up a fancy dress runway in your garden or living room, and let the hens show off their wackiest looks.

Give it a karaoke twist by asking everyone to perform a song that matches their outfit—whether it's a rockin’ Freddie Mercury or a sassy Spice Girl. Snap some pics, because these will be the kind of unforgettable memories you’ll want to look back on long after the wedding day. Plus, fancy dress is a brilliant way to break the ice, especially if some of the hens haven’t met each other before.

5. Wine Tasting – Sip, Savour, and Sing 🍷

If your hen party guests are more into wine and dine than wild dancing, a wine-tasting evening could be just the thing to strike the right chord. Set up a DIY wine-tasting station with a selection of reds, whites, and rosés, and guide everyone through the tasting process (or hire a sommelier if you want to get really fancy).

You can even make it interactive by pairing each wine with a karaoke song that perfectly matches its vibe. A deep, moody red? Time for a soulful ballad. A crisp white? Get ready for some summery pop anthems. Pairing wine tasting with a karaoke sing-off is a surefire way to hit the right notes at your hen party.

6. Garden Party Afternoon Tea – Sweet, Stylish, and Full of Sass 🍰

If your bride-to-be prefers a more laid-back vibe, why not transform your backyard into the ultimate hen party garden party? Picture this: a beautifully set table filled with delicate finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones, and, of course, the finest British tea. 

Why not take advantage of the seasons and try your hand at flower crown making, only white flowers allowed for the bride of course!

But don't let the elegance fool you—there’s plenty of room for some cheeky fun! Set up a portable speaker and bring in a musical twist by playing some classic tea-time tunes in the background, and perhaps even a cheeky game of "Guess the Song" where the hens hum or whistle their way through your favourite hen party anthems. 

This is a sophisticated way to celebrate while still keeping things light and pitch-perfect.

7. Movie Night – Sing Along and Chill 🍿

Not every hen party needs to be all high-energy dancing and singing—sometimes a low-key movie night with the gals is just what the doctor ordered. Set up a cosy movie station with blankets, fairy lights, and all the popcorn your heart desires.

The twist? It’s got to be a musical movie marathon. Whether you’re belting out songs from Dirty Dancing, Mamma Mia!, or The Greatest Showman, there’s no better way to chill out while still keeping the vibe fun and interactive. Let the bride-to-be take centre stage during the sing-along moments, and for extra laughs, you can even set up a karaoke session in between films!

8. Drinking Games – Cheers to the Bride 🍻

No hen party is complete without a few cheeky drinking games. But instead of the same old ring of fire, put a musical spin on it. How about a round of Name That Tune, where the hens have to guess the song after hearing just the first few notes—or take a shot if they can’t?

Or keep it simple with karaoke-based challenges—whoever messes up the lyrics to their song has to take a sip of their drink. And of course, if you’re feeling extra daring, set up a “truth or sing” game where each guest has to reveal a juicy secret or perform a song.

9. DIY Spa Day – Relax and Hit the Right Notes 🧖‍♀️

After all the karaoke and cocktails, the bride and her hens deserve a bit of pampering. Turn your home into a spa oasis, complete with DIY face masks, mani-pedis, and calming tunes. You can even create a playlist of relaxing ballads to set the mood.

For some added fun, let the hens each take turns giving “spa reviews” in the style of a song. It’s the perfect way to unwind while still keeping things cheeky and light-hearted. Plus, the bride-to-be will leave feeling refreshed, pampered, and ready for her big day.

10. Custom Hen Party Games – The Bride's Greatest Hits 🎶

Get creative with some custom hen party games that focus on the bride-to-be. From personalised versions of Mr & Mrs (quiz-style questions about the happy couple) to fun rounds of karaoke-themed charades, you can tailor the games to highlight everything the bride loves.

Create a game that celebrates her favourite moments, from school disco sing-offs to karaoke nights out, and make sure each hen gets involved. It’s all about creating unforgettable memories while adding a personalised touch to the event.
