Must-have Hen Party Gift Ideas for the Beautiful Bride-to-be

If you and your fellow hens have a wealth of good gift ideas but can't settle on just one or two, a bridal hamper filled with many items you know she'll love is a great choice. Grab yourself a sizeable box such as our Personalised Name Wooden Hamper Box and just get filling! 

You'll know the bride's likes and dislikes better than most, but if you're looking for some simple ideas to start you off, consider treasurable tokens such as candles, chocolates, or pretty personalised accessories. A compact mirror is perfect for popping in a hamper as it's small but practical. Our in-house team will stamp the lid of the Personalised Foil Initials Grey Square Compact Mirror with the bride's initials, giving her a practical, personal accessory that will come in handy on her wedding day.

Want to make her hamper even more personal? Include some memories of your special friendship to remind her just how strong that bond will continue to be. Photographs are a great place to start, but if you want to gift her some messages of good luck and endless love, a greetings card like our Personalised Foil Dried Flower Card comes personalised with your message. The inside of the card is blank, too, with plenty of space for you and the rest of the hens to write messages of encouragement as she embarks on her great adventure.

The second the hen party begins, it's likely the bottles will be popped and the fizz will be flowing. A personalised bottle like our Personalised Couple Names and Bow Gin provides the perfect party-starting opportunity with a sentimental twist. You can choose from pink or house gin to fill the bottle and add a unique touch to the label by including her name and the name of her husband-to-be. 

If you want to add a further message of love or best wishes, our Personalised 500ml Name Banner Gin comes with a special wooden tag, laser engraved with your wording. With both the bride and groom's names on the bottle label, you can gift her something to drink on the hen do as well as a keepsake gift for both members of the happy couple.

If the champagne is on ice or the prosecco is ready to pour, the bride will need to have her very own flute to hand. Our Personalised Name Champagne Glass is a gorgeous piece of glassware guaranteed to feature heavily in the party pictures, and comes complete with a name engraved in cursive font on the front. Whether you choose to adorn the glass with ‘Bride’, or just her name, she'll love the opportunity to sip in style and have something to savour once the celebrations have drawn to a close.

A thoughtful contribution to the hen celebrations can make a wonderful gift the bride will thank you for. If you're keen not to confine every detail of the weekend to a budget, a few personal touches can make all the difference when it comes to her lasting memories of the hen party. Personalised homeware such as name glasses for the bride, bridal party, and/or the rest of the hen squad provides a cute keepsake to remind everyone - not just the bride - of a truly spectacular celebration. Name-engraved glasses can also be perfectly practical, too, as your name added to your own glass means another member of the party is less likely to pinch your prosecco or nab your gin!

Want to provide the same practical touch but on a slightly smaller scale? Gifting each member of the hen party their own Personalised Wine Glass Charm is a great way to ensure everyone sticks to their own drink, and also provides a small but sweet memento of the weekend they can tuck away in a drawer or memory box.
