Should I Put Alcohol In A Hen Party Goody Bag?

Alcohol is an essential part of the weekend for many hens, but this doesn’t mean it’s for everyone. So should you include alcohol as one of your hen party favours?

We think that you need to make a call on this on a case-by-case basis, depending what your plans are for the event and who is coming.

It might be worth checking with the bride if any of her friends might prefer not to receive anything alcoholic in their hen party bag due to religious reasons, pregnancy or personal choice.

In this case, there are loads of great non-alcoholic drinks you could include instead.

Best Mini Spirits Multipacks For Hen Do Party Bags

If you’re looking for mini spirits to include in some of your hen do goody bags, then it might be worth buying them in bulk to get them for the best price.

Don’t forget to remind the hens to drink anything alcoholic before you head out as you won’t be allowed to take your drinks in places.

Of course! If you’re a bit pushed for time then buying hen party bags filled is a great idea.

What Is A Hen Party Hangover Kit?

A good thing to put in your hen party goodie bags is a hangover kit, also sometimes called a hen party survival kit.

• Paracetamol
• A sachet of coffee
• An eye mask
• Eye cream
• Earplugs
• Chewing gum or mints

Hen Party Bag Essentials

In addition to all these fun hen party bag fillers, even if you don’t provide a full on hen party hangover kit, it’s a good idea to include a couple of these practical items:

• Tissues
• Hand Sanitiser
• Painkillers
• Phone number of the maid of honour/bridesmaids
• Itinerary – what is the plan for the weekend?
• Local taxi numbers if there is no Uber where you are going
