A hen-do doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to go wild. Waking up with a hangover and no recollection of your memories isn’t everyone’s cup of tea when it comes to sending off your life as a single woman.

Some ladies like to celebrate the end of one chapter and the beginning of another in style. If you’re in favour of a classy hen-do, these ideas will help you pick your destination and the vibe of your party. Let’s get planning!

 

How to have a classy hen-do in the UK

A hen-do doesn’t necessarily mean jetting off to Las Vegas. The UK has an abundance of picturesque locations that offer prime hospitality and will ensure you’re well looked after on your special day.

 

London – celebrating with the high-life

If you feel like channelling your big-city-girl persona, the capital is brimming with high-end activities to help you with that.

A themed afternoon tea in honour of your inner queen is a great way to eat mouth-watering cakes, drink fine tea, and discuss the best moments of your life as a single woman in great company.

A queen by day can easily turn into a star by night. Head off to one of the many rooftop bars in London with spectacular views and enchanting garden décor. Imagine taking a picture dressed in your chic cocktail dress, womens boots, and silver tiara overlooking the London Eye – what a great way to capture the moment!

London is the favoured hen-do destination of Poppy Delevingne, who had a ’90s-themed party at the Groucho Club and relaxed at the London Edition Hotel.

 

A spa initiation into your new life

If you’re in for a chilled weekend with your fellow hens and want to be treated like the true princess you are, a spa weekend in the beloved countryside will be a heavenly experience for you will be a heavenly hen-do for you.

Some of the most luxurious state-of-the-art spa resorts include the Spa Hotel at Ribby Hall Village in Lancashire, St Michael’s Resort in Falmouth, and the Langley Spa in Buckinghamshire.

Get ready for a pamper and a hamper! The variety of spa and wellness treatments will rejuvenate your soul and body, providing you with a ritualistic initiation into your married life.

 

A hen-do adventure abroad

Celebrating your hen-do in the UK is a great way to pay homage to your roots, but if you want to infuse your hen party with a little adventure, having it abroad can be truly magical.

 

Hen-do a la Paris

What could be a better destination for your elegant hen-do than the capital of fashion, love, and fine wine – Paris. Imbued with class and luxury, every corner of the French capital is like a scene from the most enchanting movie. Even Kim Kardashian headed to Paris for her hen-do, hosting a private party at the Eiffel Tower, while wearing a sequined Balmain dress.

Channel your inner romantic and revel in the beauty of the city of love by indulging in activities, such as champagne tasting, river cruises, tours of the Eiffel Tower, and of course, shopping on Les Champs-Elysées.

But before you get on the plane, make sure you’ve packed yourself a suitcase with the most stylish outfits you can imagine: draped winter coat, red dress, black boots, and a beret are a must! It’s time to celebrate your hen-do in Parisian style!

 

Immersing yourself in tropical heaven

Fancy something more exotic? Then enjoy the white beaches and all-inclusive resorts dotted around the Caribbean Coast of Mexico.

This is where Gwyneth Paltrow and Lauren Conrad celebrated their hen do’s, and there is a reason for that. Cancun beach, one of the most esteemed ones, offers a range of underwater activities, Michelin-star restaurants, and bucket-list-style events.

Pack your spectacular bikinis, flat sandals, and elegant sarong, and get ready to be kissed by the sun in the company of your bride tribe at this tropical hen-do destination!

Your hen-do is your time to celebrate you. Whether you choose to stay at home or explore a foreign destination, the most important thing is to be in good company and with the right attitude. Channel your inner luxury radar, and you’ll find yourself in your dream hen-do destination.
