1. Feel like a million dollars with heavenly fragrances

No wedding outfit is complete without a heavenly fragrance to match, so gather your friends for a sensational Sydney perfume making workshop. While the heady aromas of jasmine, bergamot and cedarwood permeate the air, you'll explore the ancient art of blending under the guidance of an experienced perfumer.

This informative session covers the history of perfume and the intricate connection between scents and emotions. There's ample opportunity to experiment with a treasure chest of ingredients and mix a custom blend that captures your most cherished memories. It's a classy hens party idea for the bride who likes to keep things elegant.

2. Study the ancient Japanese art of mending broken pottery

For one of the best crafty hens night ideas, head to this beginner's Kintsugi workshop in Sydney! Kintsugi is the ancient Japanese art of mending broken pottery using lacquer laced with gold, platinum and silver. Not only does it produce glittering criss-cross aesthetics but the craft also has a wonderful philosophy. Kintsugi teaches us an important lesson—in honouring our journey and healing old scars, we create something more unique, beautiful and resilient. What better message to impart to the bride-to-be at her hens celebration before she embarks on the challenging and rewarding journey of marriage?

3. Level up wedding invitations with modern calligraphy

If you're looking for fun things to do in Melbourne, how about a modern calligraphy class? Wedding invitations are much more meaningful when adorned in an elegant cursive script. Calligraphy classes make for hens party ideas that are both practical and fun.

Whimsical wordsmiths can release their poetic side by practising brush lettering alongside an expert. The teacher runs through basic strokes for lower and upper-case letters, writing with a pointed pen and how to prepare and care for nibs. Then, the girls have plenty of time to explore a range of styles to find their individuality while spending quality time with each other!

4. Make dazzling floral bridal accessories

Picture this—floating down the aisle wearing an exquisite floral halo, delicate carnations complimenting tousled curls or traditional up-dos. Luckily, you can turn these musings into reality with a Brisbane DIY flower crown making workshop.

During the three-hour session, you'll condition, arrange and wire flowers over a delicious grazing box and a glass of bubbles to complete the hens party. Foliage is seasonal to keep up with the latest wedding trends, and there's a wealth of fancy embellishments to make accessories fit for brides and bridesmaids! Perfect if you’re searching for creative things to do in Brisbane.

5. Design a gorgeous boho wall hanging for interiors

Australia is home to all things boho, drawing from the abundance of surf, sea and sand. To honour the country's untameable roots, why not try a macrame class in Melbourne? For a hens party idea that is as laidback and down to earth as the bride-to-be.

In this class, you'll weave coarse materials like jute, twine and yarn into a stunning wall hanging that'll turn houseguests green with envy. Unsurprisingly, twisting fabric is thirsty work. Feel free to bring a bottle of your favourite drink to sip while you socialise and put nimble fingers to the test! It’s simply one of the best things to do in Melbourne.

6. Paint and sip a stunning masterpiece

If you can't get away to celebrate her hen do, a paint and sip party is the next best thing. In this Brisbane watercolour workshop, a private paint and sip workshop for you and your friends to enjoy. Gather your paintbrushes and your favourite drinks and get ready to celebrate upcoming nuptials in style!

After a quick demonstration of blending, layering and lifting methods, you'll dive into your very own masterpiece. You can choose a template, recreate a much-loved piece of art or let your imagination run wild – the possibilities are endless.

7. Unwind with wine and handmade pottery

For a fun Pinterest hens party, hand build pottery in this clay and sip class in Perth! You'll kick-start the night at the venue of your choice with some drinks and nibbles if you'd like (it's a surefire way to unlock your creativity) before moulding a selection of professional-looking ceramics wares.

The best part? This is a mobile pottery class so whether you're throwing a hens party at home, outside in nature or at a fancy venue, you can celebrate where you feel comfortable.

ClassBento crafter Charlotte Burns booked this class for her sister hen's party and it was an absolute sucess! She said: 

"It was absolutely beautiful and so much fun! Leah was amazing and a great teacher, going through the basic fundamentals of ceramics before letting us all go on a creative journey of our own to create our own pieces. Leah provided everything we needed, we didn’t need to lift a finger! Would highly recommend booking this for any kind of special event or occasion. Thank you Leah!"

8. Knit a cosy throw for chilly nights and sleepovers

Hens night ideas just got a whole load cosier with this knitting workshop in Perth. You'll design a snug throw perfect for girly sleepovers and learn basic stitches to help you tackle DIY projects at home.

Most importantly, the group walks away with a new knitted throw and possibly, a new mindful hobby they can enjoy together! Knitting club, anyone?
