AQUARIUS ♒ - (January 20 - February 18)
Recommended Hen Activity: Paint and Prosecco
If your bride to be bff is an Aquarius, you'd probably agree that her main and best trait is that she's a non-conformist - she's her own person and isn't one to go with the flow. She likes to do things differently, so your standard hen party of a night out on the town or a bridal shower in her home just isn't going to cut it with your Aquarius gal.
Paint and Prosecco is a perfect match in our eyes! This activity is a great way to tap into her creative and eccentric side, which is also a popular trait amongst Aquarians. Aquarians also attract many different types of people as friends, so be prepared to see a range of different personalities turn up to her hen party celebrations. It’s also something to keep in mind when planning her hen party. Paint & Prosecco is a well-balanced activity for a range of different ages and personalities!
PISCES ♓ - (February 19 – March 20)
Recommended Hen Activity: West End Show / The Theatre
She’s emotionally sensitive, imaginative and a romantic at heart. The kinds of activities that your Pisces girl would be drawn to on a regular day would be photography or poetry - think escapism! But given this is her hen party she needs something a little livelier. We think that she'd LOVE seeing a romantic show at the theatre. The perfect way to escape the stresses of wedding planning! Think & Juliet, Moulin Rouge, The Great Gatsby - something a hopeless romantic would love! If you’re turning it into a full weekend and want to keep all the plans in one place, our hen party planning spreadsheet will come in very handy here.
ARIES ♈ - (March 21 - April 19)
Recommended Hen Activity: Hen House & Sports Day
Aries is adventurous, energetic and a little competitive. Take her away to the countryside to a hen house with all of her close family and friends where she can let her hair down. Add a little sports day in for some fun, nothing too strenuous - egg and spoon race, wheelbarrow race etc. - and you'll see her in her competitive element. Like we said, she's energetic and lively and loves to be on the go, so take her out for some dancing and cocktails in the evening! A movie night on her hen do won't go down well with an Aries girl.
TAURUS ♉ - (April 20 - May 20)
Recommended Hen Activity - City Break (Mixed with a bit of everything!)
She’s a pleasure seeker and she finds happiness in the finer things. However, she's also very stubborn, so whatever you do, make sure you get the hen planning right! You absolutely can’t go wrong with combining all of her favourite things into one weekend - food, drink, chilling, pampering, shopping and a little sauciness. A weekend trip to a vibrant city like London with the best food, wine and a little shopping spree would be a hit! Ending the evening with a butler in the buff or a Magic Mike show would go down a serious treat, as Taurus girls do tend to have a rebellious side...
If you’re trying to balance all the fun stuff without blowing the budget, feel free to take a peek at our hen party budget guide while you plan.
GEMINI ♊ (May 21 – June 20)
Recommended Hen Activity - Wine Tasting
Geminis are talkative, outgoing and open minded - you could plan almost anything for your Gemini bride and she’d be happy and grateful you made the effort!
Before going out for a big one on the town, make sure Gemini has time to connect, aka chat away, with her friends and fam. Wine tasting is a perfect activity as the calm atmosphere allows her to chat and connect with her nearest and dearest before heading out for a big night out. Gemini likes activities that are engaging and she loves to discover new things - another reason why wine tasting is the perfect activity for her!
CANCER ♋ (June 22 - about July 22)
Recommended Hen Activity: Bridal Shower at Home / Local Drinks
You should know that your Cancerian gal doesn’t like surprises so keep her in the loop with the hen party planning. She also likes familiarity so we say stick to somewhere she’s comfortable with or somewhere she knows well. A bridal shower at her house where everyone can play games and enjoy food and drinks would go down well, followed by some late-night drinks at a few local bars. She loves a bit of nostalgia, so add some old songs into her hen party playlist to get her dancing!
To make the cosy at-home part even more fun, you can always browse our digital hen planning collection for games, activities and easy-to-use downloads.
LEO ♌ (July 23 – August 22)
Recommended Hen Activity: Pole / Burlesque Dancing
She's a natural leader and she's used to being the boss, so she might find it difficult to hand over hen party reigns and have someone else plan it for her. She's also confident, bold and LOVES attention. There's only one hen activity for her - pole or burlesque dancing! Because of her confident nature, she'll not be embarrassed to let her hair down and she'll have the whole hen party vibing.
VIRGO ♍ (August 23 to about September 22)
Recommended Hen Activity: Spa Day
Virgos are perfectionists so it must be exhausting for them to plan a wedding! A spa day would be the perfect way for a Virgo to really relax and unwind before the big day. Virgos are extremely practical, so if you can book in a session to get her wedding nails done as part of her spa day package, she'd love to kill two birds with one stone!
Side note - she will also need a night out to celebrate with all of her friends. Virgos are extremely loyal and she will have a lot of friends who will want to celebrate with her. When she tells you not to book the stripper, book it anyway - she will love you for it... Virgos have a secret naughty side to them.
LIBRA ♎ (August 23 to about September 22)
Recommended Hen Activity: Bottomless Brunch
Libras are extremely sociable, charming people and know how to work the room. Being a social butterfly, she doesn't really need any frills... Libra BRINGS the party. All you need is a simple bottomless brunch plus her family and friends and she will be in her element. However, Libras are all about balance, so plan in something relaxing for after the hen party - a session of yoga or meditation with the bridal party to detox before the wedding.
SCORPIO ♏ (October 24 – November 21)
Recommended Hen Activity: Escape Room Followed by a Speakeasy Bar
Scorpios are the most difficult to plan a hen do for because they're very private people who don't give much away. They are mysterious characters - profound thinkers who strategise and analyse almost everything. What better hen do activity than to do an escape room for your Scorpio bride?
Finish the night in a bar that reflects their secretive personality - a speakeasy hidden bar with plenty of character.
SAGITTARIUS ♐ (November 22 – December 21)
Recommended Hen Activity: Sightseeing & Cocktails
She's fun, energetic and loves an adventure! Sagittarians are free-spirited, born travellers, so taking her sightseeing might be just what she needs to recharge her batteries after the stresses of all of the wedding planning. Think short break to Paris, or a weekend of sightseeing in London or York. She's also a bit of a dare-devil, so a night out with a few hen party dares will keep her on her toes!
CAPRICORN ♑ (December 22 – January 19)
Recommended Hen Activity: Mobile Beautician & Gourmet Meal
If your bride to be is a Capricorn, then you'll probably know that she likes to spend time with her closest friends and family and would rather not use that valuable time to spend with acquaintances. Bear this in mind when planning a hen party for her. Capricorns are usually the more introverted type, so this is another reason you should think twice about a super large hen party - it might be a little overwhelming for her if you invite everyone she knows!
With all of that in mind, something intimate with the bridal party and her closest friends would be ideal. A mobile nail tech to glam up everyone's nails before a luxury meal and cocktails out would be the perfect night. Capricorns love indulging in self care.
