The biggest events in the lead up to a wedding are the hen and stag nights – a celebration of the bride and groom with their close friends, an opportunity for them to blow gift off some steam after the pressures of wedding planning, and the chance to get excited about the next chapter in their lives. 

If you have been invited to a hen party this year, you might be looking forward to the celebrations already. However, you should also think about what you can get the bride-to-be as a gift. With this thought in mind, below are a few fun ideas that would make excellent gifts for a hen night.

• A Scrapbook

This can be a lovely gift that is also sentimental, and something that the bride can cherish for years to come. Creating a scrapbook with photos, notes, and other mementos of your friendship can be a very heartwarming gift and something that she won’t get on her wedding day. It can also serve as a reminder to her that her friends will always be there for her and are excited for her to marry the love of her life.

• Personalized Wine Glasses

Another fun gift that you could think about buying the bride is one or two personalized wine glasses. It could be inscribed with her initials, Mr & Mrs, or what her new last name will be. You could even choose to have a phrase or quote that means something to both of you engraved instead if you think she would prefer this. Overall, this gift is both practical and personal and is sure to be appreciated.

• Sexy Lingerie or Toys

This is a raunchier gift idea, so perhaps think about the hen party guest list before moving ahead with this idea! Nonetheless, some sexy lingerie or toys can be a cheeky novelty gift, but the bride might still find a good use for it – particularly on the honeymoon!

• Vouchers for Spa Treatments

If you want something a little tamer than the suggestion above, perhaps treating the bride to some spa treatments would be more your speed? Planning a wedding can be incredibly stressful, not to mention the last-minute nerves that some brides experience as their wedding day approaches. 

Gifting her some vouchers for a spa day or a specific treatment could be a lovely and thoughtful gift she will be grateful for. You could even think about getting a couples’ massage or treatments so that she can take the groom along with her as well.

• Shopping Vouchers

Shopping vouchers might sound like a cop-out gift, but they could be the ideal present for the bride to receive. Weddings are expensive, so the bride and her groom will likely have had to make some cutbacks to cover the cost. 

With the honeymoon coming up, the bride might want to get herself some nice new outfits for her trip, and a gift of shopping vouchers could allow her to treat herself to a bit of retail therapy before the big day.

If you have a hen party coming up and you’re not sure what gift to get the bride, consider the suggestions above and see if any of them would work for her.
