So, you’re looking to add some chaos to your bestie’s hen do? Be the class clown, your bride-to-be’s jester, and the one to keep everyone laughing until they can’t laugh no more. Be it some cheeky little pranks, cracking jokes, or simply being your hilarious self, this is your time to take the opportunity and make the hen party hilarious.
Her Happiness is Key – this is the time to celebrate her, and any pranks played should reflect that, keep her smiling and you’ll be doing it right.
No Stress- Don't pull any pranks that are going to cause undue stress and anxiety. We want the bride to have fun! No pranks that’ll cruelly embarrass her or make her uncomfortable.
Respect her boundaries – your idea of fun and hers may vary, make sure you’re on the same page, even if it means consulting her other half/family and other closest friends to double check.
Everyone's in on the joke – make it inclusive and fun for all, there should be no bullying or people left out, we like it light-hearted, and it's more fun this way.
Here are our favourite pranks, voted on and chosen by the team here at Hen Weekends:
While the bride-to-be is fast asleep, slip her a fake transfer tattoo. Think creatively – maybe a full chest piece or a cheeky little face tat. When she finally wakes and spots it, you’ll need to act completely shocked. Convince her she went wild during a late night out. Do your best to keep a straight face.
Hiring a male stripper for an "under arrest" prank is a fun way to surprise everyone at the hen party. You can arrange for a ‘police officer’ to show up, announcing that someone is under arrest, only to reveal they're a stripper. It’s a cheeky and unexpected twist that’ll put some oomph into the weekend. It’s a light-hearted way to add some extra fun and excitement to the Hen do!
Make it random, have someone prank call the bride asking her for help finding her cat, repeatedly. Maybe have an old flame message her out of the blue, a celebrity crush or a secret admirer. Whatever poison you choose, keep it classy, we want the bride to enjoy the night and find these calls funny.
Hiring a cheeky butler for the hen party is a hilarious way to prank the hen party! Your cheeky butler will (in very little clothing) serve food and drinks with a big smile and charm a plenty. They’ll add some cheeky fun, keeping everyone entertained while serving up drinks and snacks. As part of the experience, the butler can also host a few games, give your hen party a little extra spark and keep everyone amused!
If you want to give the bride a laugh and make the night truly unforgettable, you should hire a dwarf! You could handcuff them to the bride as you head out on a bar crawl – It’s sure to cause plenty of laughs, lots of stares and have everyone talking! Your dwarf will be a fun little surprise, playing games, pranks and the like to keep up the party atmosphere. What’s not to love?
After a rather rough night out you and the girls will make your way to your accommodation, and when she’s asleep, (after a few cocktails and a bunch of dancing) you’ll put a cast or a boot on her leg. She’ll wake up wondering what the hell happened. You and the girls could go a step further and convince her she needs to keep her weight off it – see how long you can keep it going,
This is probably the cruellest item on our list, but it's golden. Again, it’ll mean you’ll be tiptoeing around her whilst she's asleep, however, this time you’ll get one of your trusted friends (preferably one that doesn’t know the bride) and slip them into bed next to her so they can wake up together. You could film your friend getting into the bed and waking her up so she can see it back and know that its staged and nothing happened.
This one works well after a boozy night out
If your bride-to-be is not a fan of strippers, why not give her an "anti-stripper"? Arrange for a “surprise entertainer” to show up at the hen party. When they arrive, everyone expects a traditional stripper (we’re talking super fit and oh so hot), but instead, she’ll get his polar opposite – ready to give her a show.
Tell the group they’re about to take a shot of gin or flavoured spirits, only to have them shot some prune juice. It's funny, simple and oh-so easy to pull off, just make sure no one's allergic.
