Hen’s Night in Singapore: 10 Party Ideas that are Better than Clubbing
Who says a night out with the girls always has to end with aching feet and mild hearing loss? Skip the high heels and deafening clubs for these 10 fun and girly ideas, and throw the best hen’s night in Singapore! Don’t worry, some of them still involve booze.
Planning the ultimate hen’s night for your bride? After months of poring over budget spreadsheets and trekking to various vendor meetings, she’s definitely ready to let loose. But a long night of bopping up and down in heels in a crowded club might have stopped being her idea of fun five years ago.
Give her a hen’s night to remember with some quality time with her girls. If the bridesmaids don’t all know one another very well, the hen’s night is a great opportunity to foster bonding somewhere you can actually have a conversation, like over a pretty flower arrangement workshop, or while luxuriating in a mud bath in a garden spa. Research has shown that people bond over new experiences together too, so taking up a baking or cooking course together would yield some sweet memories for you and your bride. These 10 fun ideas for a fabulous hen’s night in Singapore will have you girls giggling like BFFs!
Whichever activity you choose, make the hen party a special event for your bride by dressing up the venue with pretty tassels or bunting, or fancying up a dining experience with patterned straws and custom place cards. A fun bridal sash and veil or tiara will make her feel like a star at her hen party too, and will make beautiful souvenirs of her once-in-a-lifetime event. A hen’s night is a great excuse to get away with accessories you normally wouldn’t wear in Singapore, so whip out those lace bunny ears, quirky masks, and oversized flower crowns and get the good times started!
