Add a theme to your afternoon tea to keep things fresh. Themes like vintage (think flapper hats) or “ladies who lunch” with power suits and sunglasses are always fun and classy! Don’t hesitate to add your personal touches to the event.

2. Go on a Boat Trip🚤

Nothing beats a hen party on the open waters with a glam boat trip or cruise for brides tired of the same old parties at restaurants, bars, and hotels.
