The Top Overseas Hen Party Destinations

andrew hen party ideas

If you're looking to make your hen experience extra special, than a trip to an overseas destination is definitely on the cards. With that in mind, we've rounded up our favourite hen party destinations outside of the UK, to help you make your choice a little easier when deciding which popular destination is right for you.

Whether you're a sun seeker or a culture vulture, you're bound to find the perfect hen party destination in our list!

Barcelona

Barcelona is nothing short of a hen weekend utopia! The Catalan capital has everything a hen could wish for, from beautiful beaches and vibrant culture, to the all important quality of the city's night life. Filled with great landmarks and tourist hotspots, the Spanish city is ideal if you fancy a spot of sightseeing by day, as well as an opportunity to strut your stuff on the dance floor by night!

Dublin

If you're looking to stay a bit closer to home, Dublin is the perfect choice for your hen. The spectacular Irish capital is dubbed "the drinking capital of the world" - and for a good reason! The city is filled with a plethora of friendly and lively bars, which means that you'll be well and truly spoilt for choice when picking a place to commence your drinking adventures. With a 24 hour party atmosphere, Dublin is a hen do heaven for the party animals amongst you!

Marbella

We don't expect to hear any arguments when we say that Marbella is the queen of luxurious hen party destinations. With an extensive strip of spectacular beach bars, glamorous spas and an abundance of adrenaline activities, there's plenty to do to keep you occupied in magnificent Marbs!

Prague

Prague has a reputation for being the top value party destination with lots to see and do, making it the perfect choice for both your enjoyment and your wallet! Full of fantastic cafes, shops, gardens, wine cellars, and with a mighty river running through it, you should find plenty to keep you occupied during your trip. Once the sun goes down, Prague is transformed from a fairytale city to party destination extraordinaire, with it's fantastic selection of great bars and cheap beer to keep you going into the wee hours.

Las Vegas

Las Vegas needs no introduction. It's one of the most famous, or perhaps even infamous cities in the world, and is the perfect destination for your hen party. Between the casinos, clubs and huge choice of extravagant hotels, it has everything you need to have the perfect hen weekend. While it may not be the cheapest choice, it's certainly the ideal location for those who want to go all-out with their hen party celebrations.

Budapest

Budapest is a magnificent city with mouth-watering food and great entertainment, making it the ideal choice for a European hen party experience. Home to some of the greatest spas in Europe, Budapest boasts bags of culture and an electric party scene, which is perfect for a combination of relaxation and celebrations. We do suggest, due to the size of Budapest that you take guided nightlife tour to explore the city after dark, allowing you to 'lose yourself' in a purely metaphorical sense.

Benidorm

There's no secret to why Benidorm is a popular hen party destination. It's cheap, cheerful, and the sun is absolutely glorious! Benidorm hen weekends are far from high-end, but they're tons of fun, giving you access to golden sandy beaches and mighty great cocktails for a budget price. What's not to love?

Amsterdam

From flower markets and canal boats to space cakes and insane nightclubs; Amsterdam has it all! While it's no secret that the Dutch city is a popular choice for drinking and debauchery, it's also full of fantastic art and history, with postcard-perfect photo opportunities at almost every turn. From the Anne Frank house to the expansive Van Gough Museum, Amsterdam is far from being a one-dimensional boozy trip, but retains the fun-filled relaxed vibe that you would expect from its tourist culture.

Hen Party Themes: Mad Hatter's Tea Party

andrew hen party themes

Hey hens! Today we're bringing you a post inspired by one of our favourite ever hen party themes.. 'Mad Hatter's Tea Party'! Not only does it give you the chance to indulge in some lovely cakes whilst dressed in crazy and colourful clothing, it also allows you to host a quirky hen in almost any location and within any budget. Whether you want to go completely DIY or have someone else take care of the planning, there are lots of ways that you can have a wonderful tea party experience for you and your friends to enjoy!

Dressing Up:

If you're not up for adoring yourself with willies and novelty veils, but still want a chance to dress up, a theme like this one can be a great way for you to keep things colourful but not predictable! We stock quite a few Wonderland themed costumes in our store, so whether you choose to be an army of Alices or a mixture of crazy characters, there should be plenty of costumes and accessories here to choose from.

Browse our costumes here

If full on dress up isn't for you, then why not take your cue from the title and just wear cool and colourful hats instead? We stock a range of hats and headwear like the ones pictured below, so that you can enjoy the party in the comfort of your own clothes, whilst still feeling on-point for the theme.

If you want to add a DIY element to the party, then why not make your own hats as part of the fun? Companies like Glam Hatters' Tea Parties offer several packages which allow you to make your own bespoke headwear, while enjoying a scrumptious afternoon tea! If you're on a budget, you can always get some affordable materials together and make your own hats at home! Check out this tutorial for a velvet Mad Hatter top hat here.

Drinks and Bites:

Food and drink is important to any party, but it's even more important if you're hosting a party with 'tea' in the title! There are loads of lovely baking ideas online, whether you want to stick to an Alice in Wonderland theme, or simply create lots of colourful cakes and bakes to put on display (naturally you'll need a lovely cake stand or two). If you'd like to make your own, our Mad Hatter's Pinterest board will be listed at the end of the post, so you can head there for lots of ideas!

If you'd like to treat yourself to something extra special, why not book your tea party at a hotel or tearoom? If you're heading to the capital for your hen, you can book the 'Mad Hatter's Afternoon Tea' at the Sanderson Hotel, giving you a slightly more up-market version of this kitsch and quirky theme!

Aside from the cakes and finger sandwiches, there are lots of other important things to remember when providing refreshments for your guests. Will your party be alcoholic or booze-free for example? Whether you'll be sipping gin from your teacups or sticking to the traditional cuppa, there are plenty of ways that you can experiment with drink accessories and mixers to fit the theme, so get creative!

We love this Rhubarb and Ginger gin from Edinburgh Gins (yes it really is pink!)

Make sure there are plenty of colourful sweets to keep everyone snacking, and to add to the colourful theme. You can browse our full selection here. These cute little mason shot glasses are also great if you're planning on making this an Irish tea too; why not adorn them with little 'Drink Me' signs?

Decorate to Celebrate:

No Mad Hatter's Tea would be complete without some cool and quirky decoration, and we have loads of ideas from our store and Pinterest to share with you! If you're going all-out, then clocks and card decks should be a dominant theme throughout your decor, along with cats, hats and other elements from the famous tale! You can always tone down how 'Lewis Carroll' or 'Tim Burton' your party is, and could always opt for a more traditional tea party decoration style if you wish.

As always, bunting will add a lovely, traditional, vintage touch to your party, and like many other elements can be made or bought!

Whether you want to add some queen of hearts sparkle or child-like craziness to your 'unbirthday' cake, we have lots of fun decorations to choose from in our store, like these cute crayon candles! We also stock these nifty little arrows, which, whilst being useful for your guests, also provide a fun little nod to the confused directions Alice follows in the story.

If you really want to take things up a level, then you should most certainly visit the Wonderland House in Brighton. The venue can sleep a large group of up to 24 hens, and provides the perfect space to entertain indoors, as well as providing a base camp to explore from!
