Tips for hosting a craft and creative hen party

Pick the Perfect Venue: Whether it’s at home, a craft studio, or even a rented accommodation, make sure there’s plenty of space for crafting fun. Also, just make sure it’s easy to clean up the floor; glitter takes forever to hoover out and needles are harder to find in carpet. Find somewhere with a big space and floors that are easy to clean.

Add Drinks & Snacks: Cocktails, mocktails, sliders, afternoon tea, or prosecco will keep the creativity flowing!

Trays & Bins Everywhere: Save yourself the mess and get trays (or even paper plates) so everyone has something to work on and less beads to chase after. Bins help clear up the workspace as you’re working and saves you from having to clean everything at the end.

Set the Mood: Create a playlist to match your theme. Think chill vibes for floral workshops or upbeat tunes for a wild tassel-making session.
