How to Make Party Favors for a Hen Party

A hen party with girlfriends before the bride's big day is not complete without party favors. Whether racy or more conservative, you can make these favors more cost effectively than purchasing them. The following will help you make fun, creative and memorable favors for your hen party guests.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Things You’ll Need:

• Barrette or hair comb
• Baseball caps
• Jewels and/or beads
• Tubes of fabric paints and glue
• Tulle
• T-shirts

1. Set a budget for the favors you are going to make. There are so many events associated with a wedding that it would be easy to spend more money than you should. Decide whether you are going to share the cost of hen party favors with other participants or if you are going to bear the cost yourself.
2. Keep in mind the level of raciness that you want to have with the party favors. You can go all-out with adult-themed ones or tone it down for the more conservative group.
3. Make and personalize items like t-shirts or baseball caps that designate the participants (such as Bride or Bridesmaid). You can accomplish this by simply using iron-on transfers, jewels or fabric paints.
4. Make a silly or wild wedding veil for the bride-to-be to wear. This is especially fun if your hen party involves bar-hopping. Make a special veil by taking tulle, beads and jewels, and glue it on to a barrette or hair comb. This is very easy and half the cost of buying a ready-made veil.
5. Save more adult-themed favors for hen parties held in someone's home. You may want to purchase some adult-themed goodies and then package them creatively in individual bags that you can personalize for each member of the party.

Tips & Warnings

• Allow enough time before the hen party to create and complete the party favors.
• If you are going to be having your hen party in a public place, make sure that none of your party favors are offensive enough to get your group into trouble.
