When it comes to the big day you'll no doubt want glitter and gorgeous colours everywhere and when we say 'big day', we mean the hen party ofc.
The lead up to the actual wedding day can be super stressful and you always want your bride to be having the most fabulous time she can have, especially at the bachelorette. Most likely you'll be having some form of party to celebrate the bride, whether you're going out, staying in or even going away on holiday (we'll stay jeal).
Cute hen party cupcakes and decorations are simple and effective additions that your whole bridal party can enjoy. So, we've hunted down the best hen party cupcakes, baking kits, decorations and cake toppers you can grab, whether you want to DIY or keep it easy.
What do I need for a hen party?
First things first, you need decorations. Think big, bold and fun - it is a celebration after all! The more glitter, banners, balloons and sparkle you can get usually goes well for a hen party.
You'll probably want a theme - many classic hen parties go for pink and white, but you can always mix it up and do dress-up. Either that or get t-shirts made for everyone! There are loads of options out there.
Remember to invite all of the bridal party as well as some close friends who are looking to celebrate the bride's big day.
Food and drink are important at a party, make sure there's enough food to eat and line stomachs, but that's also easy to eat. This is why cupcakes go so well because they can be super cute, easy to eat and everyone loves a cupcake. In terms of drink, get something that everyone can enjoy, like celebratory prosecco. Don't forget to grab some non-alcoholic options too.

Why is it called a hen party?
We've all heard of hen parties and stag dos so where do the names really come from?
Well, firstly, both animals obviously relate to female or male parties - as hens are known as girls through 'mother hens' etc. On the other hand, stags are generally known as male animals in general (as well as being the male word for deer). So the simple answer is that hen parties usually include women and the bride and stag parties are for men and the groom.
Hen parties, bachelorettes, 'Sten' (joint stag and hen) dos and stag dos have been around for years and they don't seem to be going away... Just make sure you party safely and responsibly!
