Our Fave Ideas For Hen Party Favours
1. Flavoured Lip Balm
Any seasoned hen party goer knows that good lips are a must. You can’t be wandering around city streets, all flaky, bringing shame on your mates on a big night out. Plus, you really don’t want cracked lips stinging from the alcohol in your G&T, do you? Pre-empt any lip-related drama with a gorgeous hen do favour of a ‘lil tub of flavoured lip balm. Not only will this give the hens glossy, kissable lips, but it’s also teeny enough to fit in even the smallest clutch or goody bag. It’s also a cheap hen party favour, which is pretty handy because you’ve got a wedding to save for.
2. Bubbles For Gin
Even if your gal pals prefer a pint of Guinness to a G&T, keep it upmarket with classy hen party favours like blueberry and lemon gin bubbles. Pop a few of these magic balls in your pre-hen drinks to liven up the old bottle of Gordon’s that’s been lurking in your drinks cabinet since last Christmas. If you like living life on the edge, we’re pretty sure you could also throw them in vodka. They’re probably not that suitable for Guinness, but who are we to dictate?
3. Personalised Cocktail Stirrers
Remember those old-fashioned red plastic drink stirrers with the big disc at the end? Well, don’t get them because they’re ugly and you’ll be met with a wall of silence and lots of side-eye. Instead, grab your girls some personalised hen party favours with some pretty, brightly coloured personalised cocktail stirrers. Each features the hen’s name in large lettering, so it’s easy to tell them apart. Never again will you mix up your drinks and end up with a mouthful of Karen’s Malibu and lemonade instead of your vodka and tonic. You’re welcome.
4. Personalised Pocket Mirrors
Picture the scene: you constantly have to get on and off your bar stool all night to accompany a mate who wants to go to the toilet. You know she can’t go on her own because, well…she’s female, but you also know she doesn’t need to pee. All she wants is to make sure the winged eyeliner she spent hours perfecting is still lookin’ good. Stop all that by snapping up a bunch of cute little vintage pocket mirrors as a pretty hen party favour. Any time there’s a panda-eye or lipstick-on-the-teeth emergency, it’ll be sorted without the need for a group toilet visit. Think of how fizzy your prosecco will stay when you don’t have to leave it every 15 minutes.
