With hen party balloons it is best to pick out a couple of colours that fit with your colour scheme, or with the wedding’s colour scheme, and stick with them.
It’s often much more effective to have fewer colours.
There’s also a great game that requires at least one balloon, so head over to our Hen Party Games article to check that out.
What is a balloon garland?
One of the hottest trends for hen party decorations in 2021 are balloon garlands.
You can buy a balloon garland kit for around £15* and create a stunning centrepiece for to your hen party decorations.
It’s perfect as a backdrop for all those hen party selfies too!
Hen Party Photo Booth Frames
We expect there are going to be plenty of photos taken at your hen party.
If you want your photos to be the most gram’-worthy, then you might consider investing in a hen party selfie frame.

You can choose whether to just buy the downloadable template for your hen party photo booth then get it printed, or have the finished cardboard or foam frame sent to you.
The great thing about buying the bride a customised hen party booth frame for selfies is that it’s a great souvenir from the weekend that she can keep afterwards!
Hen Party Tableware
No doubt your hen weekend is going to involve copious amounts of eating and drinking!
If you’ve booked a hen party house then it’s likely that the kitchen will already be kitted out with all the bits you need.

Do think about the negative impact that plastic straws have on the environment and consider going for either paper straws if at all possible.
Hen Party Bunting
We love a bit of bunting here at Plan The Hen. It’s a great way of using hen party decorations to doll up an otherwise boring room and making it feel like a real celebration space.
It’s also great if you are trying to create a vintage hen party vibe.

Bunting is quite similar to the hen party banners further up so you might decide you don’t need both.

Hen Party Decoration Ideas
If you’ve rented somewhere to stay with your hens for your last weekend of freedom, or if you are the Maid-of-Honour who has organised the accommodation then you might be starting to think about which decorations you need for the event.
If you’ve booked large group accommodation then it’s likely that it will have a sizeable living-dining room where you are likely to spend the majority of your time as a group.
We’d recommend focusing your hen party decoration efforts in this large room as by concentrating on one area you will be able to achieve the biggest impact for the most affordable cost and effort.
Garden Hen Party Decoration Ideas
If you are having a summer hen weekend and your accommodation has some nice outdoor space, then you should definitely consider making a feature of the garden with some decorations.
One lovely idea for garden decor is to set up an al fresco dining space and style it in a way that the bride will love.
For example, how about this laidback DIY garden decor idea using just some pallets, a large rug or blanket and some flowers.
If the bride you are decorating for enjoys more of a colourful and eclectic vibe then your garden decor could be more along the lines of this idea.
Again, it’s really simple to do and quite a low cost, simply buy some garden lights, a few pompom style decorations and string some bunting up over the table.
The great thing about an eclectic hen party decoration theme is that you can ask the hens to all bring something to contribute to it and the overall effect will be colourful, mismatched loveliness!
Weather-proof your hen party decor
It’s the UK, and while we all love a bit of British summertime, we know that it’s not the most reliable when it comes to the weather.
If you are planning to organise a fancy garden set up at your hen party pad then it might be wise to consider having a hen party gazebo* on hand in case of a downpour.
It’s a good idea to check with your accommodation before buying a gazebo for a hen party as they might be able to lend you one.
We hope that has give you oodles of hen party decor ideas and you’re going away to share your favourites with the rest of the bridesmaids and put together your mood board for the event.
Be sure to share your hen party decor creations and achievements with us on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook when the weekend arrives!
