Her hens day, her hens night, the lot
Life drawing or a spa day. Drag bingo or a cellar door. One of these is already making you think of her.

This bit is just you and her.

OMG I found what we’re doing for her hens!!
Four replies. Four yeses.
Wherever you start
Everyone will have an opinion eventually. That part gets a lot easier once there’s a real plan to react to, instead of twenty ideas and a poll nobody finishes.
For the bride who’ll find a new talent she absolutely does not need.
Heart anything that feels like her. Your shortlist waits at the bottom of the screen.
Bubbles and canapés around the easel and a model who takes his job very seriously.
The bride who’d laugh first and draw second.

How a pottery hens party works
A table of blooms, a round of bubbles, and everyone walking out wearing the photo. Adelaide even does it with high tea.
A garden party, minus the garden.

Behind the sequins
One real night in Melbourne, from the door to the last drink.
Not a queue at the bar while the class starts without you.
Two hours with the room to yourselves. The host runs the class; you get to be in it.
Clay is hungry work.
Nobody had to ask.
Every package has its own version of this.
If you didn’t notice any of it on the night, perfect. You were busy.
Cheeky, without three people suddenly becoming very interested in their phones.
From drag trivia with the bride safely in the crowd to a private show with her front and centre.
The mixed group. She gets her moment without having to earn it.

Feather fans and a shimmy, a twerk class, or a pole class where the bride discovers she’s suspiciously good at it. Then dinner, still in her showgirl era.
The bride who’ll try anything once, and twice if the song’s right.

Should you do burlesque at the hens?How cheeky it gets is her call, and it isn’t one scale. Plenty of brides love a drag show and want no nudity at all.
Also cheeky: life drawing, cabaret shows, man-candy shows and toy parties.
For the bride who has to win.
Keeping score back at the house as well? Here’s the hens party games list.
Dabbers down, drinks up, and a queen calling the numbers like it’s a grand final. Some come with bottomless bubbles, which does wonders for everyone’s eyesight.

Crack the code, beat the clock, then argue about who actually solved it over dinner, rooftop cocktails or a VIP booth.

A private cruise with the whole group on deck, a long lunch on the water, or a drag queen on board. Sydney does it on a superyacht at sunset.

Planning chat already loud? Why the group chat ruins the plan, and what works instead
They’re in, at the same price per person. Where drinks are part of a package they get a non-alcoholic alternative, and in a cocktail class they make the non-alcoholic versions. At pottery, nobody’s nursing a lemonade in the corner: the clay doesn’t care what’s in anyone’s glass.
Hens party ideas without alcoholFun activities that don’t need a drink
She’s in. Her glass gets the non-alcoholic version, the food can usually be adjusted around what she can’t eat, and anything built around making something, a long lunch or a pamper session means she isn’t sitting anything out.
Very normal. School friends, work friends, family and the partner’s side, all at one table. A cocktail class or a creative workshop gives everyone something to talk about while their hands are busy, and a drag queen does the same job from the front of the room.
Three generations on the guest list? All ages hens party ideas
Nothing that puts her on show, and fun the whole table shares: a long lunch, a paint and sip, an afternoon at the spa.
Real hens, in their words
Our night flowed really well, no stuffing around and most importantly I got to actually enjoy my friends hens instead of playing event manager all night because everything had already been thought through. The timing, what was included, where we'd go next, what suited the 9 girls we had and honestly, I didn't properly realise how much difference that would make until the actual night itself. It felt like a proper event rather than us just meeting at a few places Han loved every part of it and even said how did you do and find all this?? So that was the review from her I needed and I would use them again in a heartbeat!
So I organised a hen party from London for my best friend in Australia and honestly didn't know how I was going to pull it off and so happy I found My Ultimate Hens. From start to finish everything exceeded expectations, thankyou for all the little surprises, how smoothly everything went and it all just worked and we had just the best time and honestly just soak it all in, which is pretty rare when you're the one organising. It ended up being one of the best nights ever and there's no way I could have done it from the other side of the world without you. I'm so grateful and honestly couldn't recommend you more.
Two days, one place for everyone
Some of these deserve two days. Life drawing, a day spa, a cruise, high tea or the vineyards, with one place for everyone to come home to, where the robes, the snacks and the post-mortem all live.
Not fifteen girls, two bathrooms, bunk beds, and one exhausted organiser up at seven vacuuming and taking the bins out while everyone else sips bubbles on the balcony.
Every city has hens weekends with the stay built in, and everyone gets a bed of her own, or a rollaway. The only thing anyone’s fighting over is the aux cord.
Hens weekend packagesAsked a lot
The one that makes her look at you and say “how did you know?” Start with her, not the list: making something, being pampered, a bit of mischief, a game she has to win, a view, or a long table. Then pick her city. Every idea on this page comes as a complete My Ultimate Hens package in one or more of our six Australian cities, and each card shows which.
A My Ultimate Hens package is one complete hens celebration, designed for a hens from the first glass to the last stop. The experiences, food and drinks, hosts and entertainment, and transport or accommodation where included, run as one flow, at one price per person.
Most My Ultimate Hens day and night packages sit between about $130 and $350 per person, and weekends away with accommodation between about $250 and $550. The bigger the group, the lower it tends to go, and every package shows its own price per person. How much a hens party costs
More notice means more choice, particularly for accommodation, private spaces and Saturday times. A closer date is still worth asking about.
No. When you book, you only need to be confident you’ll make the package minimum. Final numbers are due three weeks before the hens, unless your booking gives a different date.
They’re in, at the same price per person. Where drinks are part of a package, non-drinkers get a non-alcoholic alternative.
Yes. How cheeky it gets is her call, and it isn’t one scale. Tell us what’s in and what’s out for her.
Knowing which one is her was always your call. The toast, the table and the next stop come with it.
Found the one? Pick her city and we’ll check her date.
Know exactly what she wants? Put it in. Only know what she’d hate and the one weird thing that’s so her? That works too. We’ll come back with the packages that fit her.
Everything that made you think of her, in one place. When one feels right, pick her city and we’ll check her date.
