Fancy dress: 5 alternative ideas for your hen party

Fancy dress is a great way to get into the party spirit during a hen do and give the group a sense of unity, but why not forgo the usual playboy bunnies, or saints and sinners, and go for a theme that’s a little different.

“Hen parties are getting more and more creative when it comes to their fancy dress theme, and the main objective is that the bride stands out,” says Emma Angel, Director of Fancy Dress at Angels (angelsfancydress.com). “Aside from the traditional ‘L’ plates, there are many innovative themes that will ensure the bride is the centre of attention.”

 

Batgirl and her Robins

The rest of the party can don their best neon attire and blue eyeshadow!
