Brighton is the perfect place for your vintage hen party and what better way to embrace the 1920s theme than to become a flapper yourself!  Here are a few top tips when it comes to planning the perfect party:

Think About How To Make Your Vintage Hen Party Flow!

Think about how you will link one activity to the next during the day.  Check out our examples below:

(Our vintage dance hen party workshops fit in well at any point during the day!)

  • Perhaps you are planning an afternoon tea?  Take a vintage dance class beforehand – it’s the perfect way to work up an appetite.
  • Maybe you are considering a crafty activity – such as creating your own flapper headdress.  You can bring it to your Charleston lesson to show it off.
  • Heading out for an evening on the dance floor? Have a Gatsby workshop beforehand.  Then dance the night away Great Gatsby style!

Remember To Include Vintage Keepsakes For The Bride

Include things for the bride to take away as a memory of her brilliant hen party.

  • We include a photoshoot and cut together a short film.  You can then share it with all the hens.  Everyone loves a momento!

Think About The Retro Dress Code

Take into account what your hens will be wearing.  Of course, we want everyone to be comfortable during their dance workshop.

  • If you don’t fancy a full 1920s dress code for the day, don’t worry we can help you.  We will bring props, pearls and feathers so everyone can embrace their inner flapper.

Plan Something For Everyone

Include activities for all ages in your group – you don’t want anyone feeling left out.  If you have a wide age range in your party, look for activities that everyone can enjoy.

  • Our dance lessons are fun and informal and are suitable for nieces and grandmas alike!

Break The Ice!

There may be some hens that don’t know any others in your group.  Think of ways to get everyone talking and ‘break the ice’ in a fun way.

  • Our vintage dance hen parties are also perfect for getting to know the other hens in the group.  With fun team activities and games, everyone is sure to have a great time.

Brighton is a great destination for a vintage hen party as there is so much choice for activities, events and venues.

Do Your Homework

My number one tip – choose carefully and either research thoroughly or use an agency who can do the research for you.  They will be able to choose the best places for your vintage inspired weekend.

Less Is More

Less (activities) is sometimes more.  But spending a little bit more on each activity could ensure you get something more exclusive and memorable. It also means less rushing around and more attention on the bride to be.

Make Sure You Get Some Time Off

Plan your activities so you have some down time – and what better way to spend it than browsing through Brighton’s North Laine shopping area, popping in an out of vintage clothes shops with a cocktail or two along the way.

Fancy Dress & Booking In Advance

With regard to dressing up, choose an era and dress to impress.
  • Brighton is renowned for hen’s in sashes and tutus but a discerning hen in vintage attire will get you into places others can only dream of.
  • Book everything in advance for larger groups, as even the classiest of outfits will not get you into a lot of the bars and clubs.

On A Budget?  Let Your Accessories Do The Talking

If you can’t afford to buy a vintage outfit make accessories count. Gloves and pearls or a sassy hat, or perhaps an elegant silk scarf perfectly tied is a more subtle way to give your group an identity but without stretching the budget.

Think About Your Finances

Allow for tip or service charge when going to a restaurant.  For a smooth and easy payment, allocate one person in charge of paying the bill. It will save a lot of time and stress.
