Whilst tree-top adventures and BBQs will be out of the question for most of the year, there are a number of fun activities for the girls which fly in the face of the unforgiving climate! These ideas will inspire you to keep everyone’s spirits up on the hen party—no matter what it looks like outside!
Get Beautified
Combat the dullness of the day by making you and your girls look simply radiant. Firstly, get everyone tanned! You and your girls can disregard the dismal temperatures by looking like you’ve just come back from a month in Benidorm—complete with sunkissed skin!
Afterwards, treat everyone to a makeover! Whether it be DIY or by a professional MUA, take the chance to have a ‘wee change’ and hopefully the new look will somewhat brighten your day!
After your thoroughly contoured, you can go for HD brows! This will add another dimension to your look that will force the fellas to take a second look!
Get Pampered
Another idea to leave weather worries behind is to get royally pampered! You can choose to do a spa day with your girls—getting hot stone massages and mud facials to enough the hen party in spite of the rain outside. Or if you’d rather relax-and-run, opt for singular treatments, such as manicures, pedicures and fish pedicures! (little fish gobbling up your dry skin).
Have a PJ Party
Buck the bad weather by choosing to never leave your PJ’s! Pyjama parties are stylish and comfortable, perfect for girls that prefer giving each other makeovers, trying new hairstyles, watching movies and playing hen party games—all whilst eating popcorn and marshmallows, and drinking Prosecco! Take your perfect hen party pics whilst never having to leave the house—with everyone looking on-point in their PJ’s!
Cocktail Making Classes
Cocktail making classes can kick off your hen night the right way! You and your girls can expand on your cocktail repertoire (previously consisting of strawberry daiquiris and sex on the beach) with a crash-course on how to make Cosmopolitans, Mojitos, Espresso Martinis and Long Island Iced-Teas! From then on, you will be able to dazzle onlookers at parties by whipping up cocktails that they haven’t even heard of!
Dance Classes
The less-than-inspiring weather can be used as fuel to try new things! Why not take a dance class with your girls and learn a new skill? There is a wide array of dance classes available In both Ireland and the UK. The traditional Irish Dancing classes are readily available—giving the girls a chance to drink-in their Irish heritage and learn a jig or two along the way! Country-western themed jiving and line-dancing classes are another instance of wildly popular dance classes for hen parties—which are regularly conducted in local communities due to the huge appreciation of the music and lifestyle. With these classes, you can hats and boots and learn a few moves to whip out at the wedding!
However, if these aren’t to your liking, there are always exciting alternatives, such as Bollywood and Belly Dancing—where you and your girls can immerse yourselves in Indian culture without having to go too far afield! As well as this, contemporary dance classes are becoming wildly popular, as they give hen the opportunity to learn dance routines from famous Popstars such as Beyoncé and Rihanna!
Yoga Classes
Trust me—if you and your girls opt to take a Yoga class for a hen party activity, the foul weather will be the furthest thing from your mind! Yoga is a deeply challenging activity that will test your mind—body and soul simultaneously! However, whilst challenging, Yoga is immensely rewarding! You and your girls upon leaving the Yoga class will feel a sense of accomplishment, as well as feeling refreshed and throughly stretched—so that your evening meal and drinks taste all the better!
Embrace the Rain with Watersport Activities!
Where some dismay as they watch the water stream down the window—others see opportunity! There are a wealth of Watersport activities that will have everyone relishing the refreshing plunge. You can choose to Kayak, Canoe or Row—all boat activities which vary in boat and paddle design, but equally fun! Alternatively, for something a bit more thrill seeking, white-water rafting is a favourite for groups, as your team will race down rapids attempting to hold on to your wetsuits! From these exciting activities, one thing is true—for some, wet weather isn’t only a day for the ducks!
So that’s our list! If the Irish landscape is painting a poor picture on your hen weekend, these fun activities will brighten your horizon!
