Hen party gift bag ideas

9 replies

Tiredmum100 · 19/01/2022 17:14

I am planning a hen party ( weekend away) for my sister. People are travelling 4-5 hours to attend. I want to provide a hen party goody bag. So far my ideas are nail file, pack of pretty tissues, eos lip balm, tic tacs, bar of chocolate, mini bottle of prosecco, magazine to each individuals interest (for train journey home). Then I'm debating adding paracetamol/face mask/ eye gel pads/ personalised shot glass? Does anyone have any other ideas?

I know some people will disagree with party bags for adults and I don't want this to be a thread debating that. My sister has had many many difficult years and I want her to have a brilliant weekend. She deserves it. I really want some ideas of what people would like to see included if they received a thank you bag. There are a small number of people coming. This is something I want to do to thank people for coming. TIA.

Personally I'd have to add a willy whistle or a pen shaped like a penis.

But I'm very juvenile like that!! (We had all that kind of stuff at my hen party and it was VERY funny!)

I was thinking that, but my mum and sisters future MIL are coming too... I could just leave it out of theirs, I'm not sure I want to see my mum drinking out of a willy straw 🤣

If you are going out drinking, drop a little "Alter Ego" card into each bag so if any of you get chatting to strangers you have to act as if you are that person with them

"Hi I'm Betty Biggenbum, poodle trimmer" etc

You're a lovely sister
Just came by to tell you that 💓💓 it's nice to see people care so much for someone
It would be cool if you could get the guests to all send you a video telling their favorite memory with your sister too and you could edit it into a montage for her for a gift for your sister for her hen do, too

Maybe you can also buy a Polaroid camera for the weekend so you can have some fun instant photos for the guests to take away

Thanks for the ideas! I have asked all the people who can't attend to send me a short video if well wishes that I can play while we're away and her other bridesmaid s making a memory book!

How about a packet of flower seeds each? We used to include them in kids’ party bags and they always seemed popular? If you get sunflower ones you could add a post hen do/wedding sweepstake as to who can grow the tallest? The winner can get a prize (any leftover booze from the wedding Grin) but it all depends if people can be arsed doing it?

I love the idea of a goody bag to take home. The magazine by personal interest is a lovely touch.
