Must-Have Ideas for a Memorable Bachelorette Party or Hen Do in 2024

Bachelorette parties or Hen dos are both exciting and stressful to plan. If you are the bridesmaid planning your best friend’s celebration, you’re probably looking for ideas on how to make it unforgettable. What should a hen do or bachelorette look like in 2024? 

Here’s a tip for you: if you are thinking of getting a male stripper (or female stripper) and outrageously loud music, it’s time to reconsider. In 2024, brides-to-be are taking a break from hard party traditions and turning towards more relaxing and meaningful events. Here are some ideas below to get you started. 


Matching outfits

This one is unlikely to ever go out of fashion. Matching outfits are always a winner. So, you can buy the typical bride-to-be and bridesmaid t-shirts, but if you want to buy something more personal for the occasion, you could make your own outfit. It’s easy enough to get customized t-shirt with the bride’s name. And you can take it a step further by adding fun ready to press DTF transfers, such as the wedding themed collection. You’ll get bonus point for cuteness!

Hydra facial treatments

Brides typically struggle with skin issues at their wedding. But can we blame them? Wedding planning can be so stressful! That’s precisely where you want to prepare some special for her at the party. You could consider a hydra facial treatment for the bride. Those treatments are great for stressed skin that can be clogged or dull. 

Alcohol-free drinks and mocktails

The days where hen dos and bachelorette parties were all about drinking alcohol are long gone. Besides, you have to be realistic. The bride’s already got a lot on her plate with wedding planning. Surely, a hungover is not going to help. New-generation brides prefer alcohol-free drinks, so why not turn the party into a mocktail tasting experience? The good news is that there are plenty of mocktail bars across the USA.

Besides, mocktail tasting can be a fantastic opportunity for the bride to select what she wants to drink on her big day.

Something to remember

Despite what people say, getting married will change relationships within the brides friend circle. So, it will be a thoughtful touch to organize a surprise walk along memory lane. 

What are your options? You could prepare a photo album of all your favorite memories together. If you are a confident video editor, a sweet and sentimental video montage could steal the spotlight. 

Incorporating a DIY craft workshop

Put yourself in your friend’s shoes. She’s probably in the middle of trying to figure out the best table décor or favors for her big day. So, you can contribute to the thought process by planning a DIY workshop for her. Beyond being a bonding experience, it’s also the opportunity to try out something new that can be useful for the wedding prep. Cute origami, flower display, or even soap making, you name it! There are workshops for most things, and you are guaranteed to open her mind to new possibilities. 

Hopefully, these few tips can help you prepare for a Gen Z hen do/bachelorette party in 2024!
