10 Must-do Trending TikTok & IG Reels For Your Hens Party

Let’s get real for a second – social media exploded during lockdown, and we are obsessed. Watching one-minute videos for two hours might not be the best way to spend your time, but TikTok definitely introduced us to some new trends. In late 2020, Instagram Reels joined the party, and now there are thousands of fun, hilarious videos from people all over the world to keep you watching for hours. 

While there’s no formula to throwing an epic hen’s party, there’s definitely a few tried and tested methods that will have your bride-to-be laughing until she cries. From viral dance trends, to wickedly funny party games, here are some of the best TikTok and IG Reels trends for your hens party. 

1.Make An Entrance

Over-the-top entrances have always been a trend for wedding receptions – but what about for your hens party? From breakdancing to flame-throwing (no, not kidding!) TikTok has elevated this classic into a hilarious challenge that’s the perfect idea for your hens party.  

How it works: Have your girls walk in the most extravagant way possible – think outrageous dance moves, glamorous runway walks and voguing – and capture it all on camera to create a great visual memory for your bride.  

2.The Classic Lip Sync

There’s nothing like a classic lip-sync video for letting everyone let their hair down.  Your girls will love singing along to the classics and getting a little bit goofy with their friends.

How it works: Stick on your bride’s favourite power ballad or one-hit wonder, and challenge everyone to lip-sync their hearts out. Choose a song that everyone would know – some modern TikTok favourites are The Weeknd’s ‘Blinding Lights’,  ‘Boss B*tch’ by Doja Cat and anything by Whitney Houston. 

3.Dance Challenges

Just like the classic lip sync, a good dance challenge never goes out of style. TikTok and IG Reels are full of fun, beginner-friendly dance trend that even the most uncoordinated hens party guest can attempt!

How it works: Find a TikTok dance for your guests – we love “The Whole Shack Shimmy”, as it’s easy, fun and looks great in a group. Get set up in a large enough area, then try to imitate the dance moves as best you can. It doesn’t have to be perfect – in fact, it’s better if it’s not!

Make sure you capture everything on camera, as these memories are some your bride won’t want to forget. For a bonus, get the bridal party to perform the same trend on the wedding day, and stitch the two videos together. 

4.Bridechella

If you’re looking for inspiration for a hen’s party theme, Bridechella is a fantastic way to celebrate your bride. Named for the famous Coachella festival in the US, this TikTok trend is a modern-day classic that your guests will love. 

How it works: Create a space that’s dedicated to your bride-to-be and name it after her – think signs with ‘Bridechella’, food truck-style catering and great music. Bright colours and custom decorations are the key here, so go the extra mile and make your bride’s festival one she won’t soon forget.

If you’ve ever been to a festival, you know that colourful outfits and statement headpieces are all the rage. Why not add a flower crown workshop to your Bridechella hen’s party? Your bride can get creative while embracing the festival of all-things her, and wear a gorgeous statement piece for the rest of the night. 

5.PowerPoint Party

Now this is a hens party idea sure to get you and your girls laughing. If you’ve been on TikTok at all over the last two years, you would have seen this viral trend across your For You page. Search #powerpointnight, and you’ll see thousands of videos of people creating unique, hilarious presentations that leave their viewers in stitches. 

If you’re planning a low-key night in for your bride’s hens party, ask your guests to prepare a PowerPoint presentation on any topic – the more insane, the bigger the laughs. 

For a personal touch, pick topics that relate to the guests – think a “Most likely to…” kind of vibe. Questions like “Who’s Going to Make-out With A Groomsman?” and “Which Person Will Bring Her Own Snacks?” are bound to get everyone talking.

The TikTok trend is a great hens party idea for a low-key night in that will have everyone in absolute stitches. The best part? It’s absolutely free – perfect for a bride on a budget!

6.Prosecco Pong

Everyone’s played beer pong, right? While the game is undeniably fun, red plastic cups filled with beer may not meet the vibe you’re going for with your hens party. Enter prosecco pong. 

For the athletes among us, test your aim with this TikTok twist on a classic party game. There’s something so much more sophisticated about throwing ping-pong balls into prosecco glasses filled to the brim with bubbly. 

How it works: Set up a trellis table in a backyard with three prosecco glasses on either side. Fill with your bride’s favourite bubbles, then take aim at your opponent’s glasses with brightly coloured ping-pong balls. 

For a personal touch, paint the bride’s name onto the table, or order custom ping pong balls with your guests names – we love these ones from Zazzle.

If you’re looking for a great place to host this hilariously fun hens party game, we’ve made a great list of AirBnBs for a weekend getaway – just make sure to play it outside, as it could get a little messy!

7.Meet the Group/No Roots

For the TikTok and IG Reels enthusiasts, this hens party idea is a great way to document your evening with clips of your guests personalities. 

This TikTok trend went viral, for all the right reasons – it’s fun, personal and doesn’t take itself too seriously.

How it works: Two second videos of different friendship groups are outlayed over the catchy Alice Merton tune “No Roots” for a hilarious, charming look into the personalities of your bride’s favourite people. 

A fun idea for this trend is a ‘meet the bridesmaids’ video – coordinate with the bridal party and create a sneaky video present that will have your bride laughing for days.

8.Hen’s Party Bingo/Scavenger Hunt

Now, this one isn’t strictly a TikTok trend, but it’s made a comeback over the last few years thanks to the viral app. The guests are given bingo cards, and have to tick off bridal-themed items – the first person with a full line calls bingo!

Similar to bingo, scavenger hunts are a modern hen’s party game for your adventurous bride. Items are given point values (five points for ‘finding a guy in a yellow shirt’, ten points for ‘getting a stranger to buy you a drink’ etc) and the team with the most points at the end wins – how simple is that?

There are a few companies that make cards for hen’s party bingo and scavenger hunts – if you’re on a budget, here’s a great free one for you to print out for your hens night. The best scavenger hunts are tailored to your hen’s party – try making your own cards for a personal touch. 

9.Bridal ‘Spin The Wheel’

Now this is a great TikTok trend for seeing just how well your guests know the bride-to-be! A ‘Wheel of Fortune’ style game is a modern hens party game that is sure to make your bride laugh.

How it works: Create a colourful wheel with trivia questions about the bride – think options like “What’s her favourite colour?” or “How many pairs of shoes does she own?”. If your guests get the answer wrong, give creative penalties – the choices are endless! A bridal wheel can be as classic or as colourful as you want – choose a theme that fits your bride-to-be.

10.Bonus Trend: The Wedding Day Transformation

There’s something so special about seeing the transformation from silk robes and fluffy slippers to glamorous gowns and makeup. Add a quick edit, music from a classic kids movie, and you’ve got the makings of a viral TikTok trend!

How it works: Search “Cinderella bibbidi bobbidi boo” on TikTok, and you’ll see hundreds of videos where brides and their hens parties go from ‘before’ to a very beautiful ‘after’ in the blink of an eye. This fun TikTok trend might have started with teenagers getting ready for their formals, but it’s now spread like wildfire, and is the perfect hens party idea for a fun activity. 

Flower crown workshops also make for a great transformation video: start with the deconstructed florals, then jump to your party wearing their finished masterpieces. Perfection!

If you want a fun memory for your bride, make one of these at her hens party and one on her wedding day. Get the entire bridal party involved for a special memory she can treasure forever.
