If you’re planning a hen do and feeling slightly overwhelmed by choices, choosing a theme is the easiest way to bring everything together. A great hen do theme sets the tone for the entire celebration — from outfits and décor to cocktails, food and the overall vibe. And because we’ve already shared all the mood boards on Instagram and TikTok, this guide is here to give you the detail behind each look. Whether you’re after cute, glam, colourful or a little chaotic, here’s all the hen do inspiration you need for 2025.
Lucky in Love – Red & Black Casino Glam
Lucky in Love is perfect for brides who love a bit of glamour and drama. The red-and-black palette instantly gives a casino feel (without the dodgy carpets), and it works beautifully for a chic night out or a luxury pre-drinks. Satin dresses, red lipstick and black heels tie the outfits together, while red roses, card-suit decorations and black sequins set the scene.
To keep the theme going, you could serve small bites like bruschetta or sliders alongside a red-and-black grazing board, and pour strawberry margaritas or cherry martinis with cute playing-card cocktail picks. A red velvet cake works beautifully if you want something that ties into the theme, but even without one, this theme naturally feels luxe and polished.
Her Last Rodeo – Cowgirl Cute
Cowgirl-themed hens are not going anywhere, and Her Last Rodeo remains one of the most in-demand hen do themes. It’s fun, flattering and playful, and it encourages everyone to dress up without feeling over the top. Think denim, tassels, boots and cowgirl hats – especially the iconic pink ones.
This theme works so well for bottomless brunch, a day-to-night celebration or a countryside hen weekend. A BBQ-style food spread is perfect, with options like sliders, loaded fries or nachos, and drinks like spiked iced tea or peach cocktails feel totally on-brand. Decorating with cow print balloons, fringe streamers and a little “rodeo” photo corner adds personality without needing to spend a fortune.
RIP Single Life – Moody, Monochrome & Dramatic
For brides who love an edgier vibe, RIP Single Life is one of the most striking hen party themes you can choose. Everyone dresses in black while the bride stands out in white, and the combination of lace, mesh and monochrome creates a bold night-out look.
This theme suits a chic city cocktail bar or an Airbnb pre-drinks setup with black candles, dark florals and balloons wrapped in lace. Food-wise, a charcuterie spread or a dramatic dark-chocolate fondue fits perfectly, and the drinks can follow suit with blackberry mojitos or charcoal lemonade spritzes. You don’t need a themed cake, but a black buttercream design with white florals looks incredible if you do go for one.
Bling Before the Ring – All the Sparkle
If your bride wants to go big, bold and glittery, Bling Before the Ring is the ultimate hen night idea. This is the theme where sequins, metallics and disco balls rule, and the more sparkle the group brings, the better the photos will be. It’s ideal for a club night, karaoke bar or even a full disco-themed house party.
The décor is really what makes this theme shine: think disco balls hanging everywhere, iridescent streamers, neon lighting and mirror details. Drinks served in disco cups or glitter-rimmed prosecco glasses keep the sparkle flowing, while simple finger foods like cake pops or macarons with edible glitter feel fun and on-brand. If you want a cake, a silver drip design with a disco ball topper is a crowd-pleaser, but the whole point of this theme is that you can go as extra as you want.
She Found Her Perfect Match – Fiery Reds, Oranges & Yellows
This vibrant, fiery theme is made for brides who love colour. Everyone dresses in flame tones (red, orange and yellow) creating the most incredible group photos and an atmosphere that instantly feels energetic. It’s a brilliant theme for a cocktail-making class, a games night or any hen do where you want a lively, upbeat vibe.
Spicy tapas, nachos, hot wings or anything with a little kick fits perfectly with the theme, and you can lean into the fire concept with spicy margaritas or Fireball shots. Decorations in warm tones, red and orange streamers, sparkler candles and bold glassware, bring everything together without much effort. This is one of the easiest hen do ideas to pull off because the colour palette alone does most of the work.
Something Blue Before ‘I Do’ – Dreamy Pastels
Something Blue Before ‘I Do’ is ideal for brides who want a soft, pretty and aesthetic hen do. Everyone dresses in baby blue while the bride stands out in white, and the whole look feels fresh, feminine and perfect for sunshine. This theme suits a beach day, boat party, spa day or garden brunch, especially if you want something calmer but still cohesive.
A light, summery food spread works really well – think salads, sushi or a pastel grazing board with blueberry desserts. Blueberry spritz cocktails or elderflower drinks with edible flowers keep the drinks on theme without feeling artificial. Decorations in baby blue and white, from ribbons to balloons and soft florals, make the space feel airy and romantic.
Tying the Knot – Bows, Pearls & Pretty Pink
For brides who love a soft, girly aesthetic, Tying the Knot is a beautifully romantic hen party theme. The combination of baby pink, black ribbon details and pearls creates a cute but chic look that works perfectly for a brunch, afternoon tea or a pretty lunch setup.
Food for this theme can be simple but elegant – mini sandwiches, pastries, pink macarons or dainty desserts like an afternoon tea or picnic. Drinks like rosé spritzes or prosecco with cotton candy garnish tie in with the theme nicely. For décor, bows are the star of the show: ribbon on glasses, on chairs, woven into floral arrangements or used throughout the tablescape. It’s charming, feminine and surprisingly easy to put together.
Whether your bride wants glamour, pastels, sparkle or bold colour, these hen do ideas will help you create a celebration that feels personal, stylish and unforgettable. From casino vibes to cowgirl fun, there’s a theme here to suit every bride and every kind of hen weekend.
