To help make your hen party more fun, why not try introducing a theme to the festivities? Hen night fancy dress themes are a good way of getting everyone into the spirit of things and helps to make all the girls feel involved in the hen night.

It’s a good idea to make sure everyone in the hen party knows about the themes you are considering and are happy with the ones you've chosen, and don't forget to let the venues you’re going to know this in advance, as some places may have a dress code and may take offence to 20 bunny girls arriving for a meal.

Try and get everyone involved by talking the ideas through with the rest of the hen party in advance and perhaps gear the theme around the hen’s interests or work.

Its very easy to get hold of fancy dress costumes and accessories for hen nights as there are many retailers out there who cater for just this kind of event or if you’re on a tight budget, you may want to try your hand at making your own costumes!

The most popular themes for hen nights are:

• Playboy bunnies
• Pop Stars
• Film Actresses
• Cowboys and Indians
• Policewomen
• School disco

Obviously there are many number of themes to chose from but it doesn’t mean that you have to go all out in full fancy dress, as not everyone is as keen to don a full playboy bunny outfit complete with bob-tail!

For the more introverted amongst you, perhaps suggest just the bunny ears or have some t-shirts printed up with hen party name and date. Wigs and hats are always popular and badges and sashes are another way of getting all the girls in the hen party involved!

If you are having a hen weekend away, why not have a different theme for both nights? Again this may be too expensive, but you could have t-shirts one night and cowboy hats and sashes on the other night.

Whatever hen party theme you decide on, it’s a great way of standing out from the crowd and will add a bit more fun to the hen night.
