Along with Christmas, Halloween is definitely one of our favourite times of the year! So if you are having a Halloween Hen Party here's everything you need to make sure it's one to remember! From the drinks and nibbles on the night to what to wear we've got all the Halloween Hen Do ideas covered!

Fancy Dress

Take advantage of this holiday and dress up for the hen party. Making the Hen Party fancy dress adds a little more fun to the weekend. A really good idea is for the bride-to-be to dress as the Bride of Frankenstein or the Corpse Bride! Get a long white dress from a second-hand shop or something not too expensive and let the makeup do most of the work. There are so many Halloween make-up tutorials out there which will make things that little bit easier as well! To make sure the bride stands out from the crowd the rest of the group could dress in the same costume. Maybe guests at the Bride to Frankenstein/the Corpse Bride's wedding day!

Decorations

Decorations are essential to ensure the Halloween Hen Do Ideas runs through the entire Halloween Hen Do. Fortunately, Halloween decorations are available almost everywhere this time of year. One place we've discovered that offers amazing accessories at great prices is Dealz! Even if you decide not to go with a fancy dress for the Hen Party, decorating the venue with Halloween accessories is a must. If you want to get creative and make the decorations yourself, you can't go wrong with pumpkin lanterns and cotton wool cobwebs. These DIY touches add a personal and spooky flair to the festivities.

Don't forget to keep your food in line with the Halloween theme as well, ladies! Halloween-themed jellies, cupcakes, and other sweets are incredibly easy to find in every shop. Not only do they add to the ambience, but they also provide delicious treats for everyone to enjoy. So, whether you choose to buy or DIY, make sure your Halloween Hen Party is filled with festive decorations and themed snacks to create a truly unforgettable experience.

Games

Oh my gosh, ladies! There are so many fun Hen Party Games that you can totally make work for Halloween! Imagine Pin the Junk on the Hunk transformed into Pin the Junk on the Zombie – how hilarious would that be? You can even give your Blow Up Man a spooky makeover to make him look a bit scarier. Let your imaginations run wild, girls!

And don't stop there! Think about a Halloween-themed scavenger hunt where you search for hidden spooky treasures or a “Guess the Ghost” game where everyone shares spooky stories and tries to guess who told which tale. You could even have a creepy costume contest to see who can come up with the spookiest, funniest, or most creative Halloween outfit. Prizes for the winners, of course!

Of course, some classics like the Mr. and Mrs. Quiz might not scream Halloween, but they’re still an absolute must-play! They add a touch of personal fun and are always a hit. And why not get everyone carving pumpkins? It’s a bit time-consuming but oh-so-fun and the perfect way to add a crafty touch to your spooky celebration. You can even turn it into a competition with categories like "scariest," "funniest," or "most creative" pumpkin.

Don’t forget about incorporating spooky music and decorations to set the mood. Create a playlist filled with Halloween hits and decorate the space with cobwebs, skeletons, and eerie lighting. And how about setting up a DIY photo booth with Halloween props? Everyone can take memorable pictures to look back on and laugh at.

So, get those creative juices flowing and let's make this Halloween Hen Party one to remember! Whether you're transforming classic games into spooky fun or adding entirely new activities, the goal is to have an unforgettable time with your besties.

Cocktails

What's a Hen Party without a few fabulous cocktails? For your Halloween Hen Do, why not make them spooktacular Halloween Cocktails? There are so many amazing recipes out there that will blow all the girls away! Think ingredients like strawberry puree and prosecco, and if you can get your hands on some powdered dry ice, you’ll really make a big impact – they’ll look absolutely amazing! A super cute touch is to rename the cocktails after the bride-to-be. How about 'Bloody Mary', 'Bloody Sarah Temples', or 'Jen and Toxic Tonic'? (Okay, maybe not our best work, but you get the idea!). It’s all about letting your imagination run wild, ladies!

Get creative with garnishes too – think gummy worms, candy eyeballs, or even a sprig of rosemary for a witchy vibe. The possibilities are endless and it’s all about having fun and making your Halloween Hen Party unforgettable. So grab those cocktail shakers, put on your witch hats, and let’s brew up some spooky, delicious fun! Cheers to a hauntingly good time!
