What are some hen do ideas for a hen party with a small budget?

A small budget does not mean a dull hen do. Start with a picnic in a local park or by the coast, where everyone brings a dish to share. You could theme it around the hen's favourite colour or era. Another idea is a movie marathon at home with a projector, popcorn, and a vote on the films. For a hands-on option, host a DIY cocktail or mocktail evening, with each guest bringing one ingredient or recipe.

A free walking tour of your city is a lovely way to explore together, and many museums have free entry. If the weather is good, a beach day with games like rounders or frisbee costs very little. You could also organise a craft session, such as making friendship bracelets or decorating photo frames for the hen. For a memorable touch, ask each guest to bring a printed photo of a memory with the hen, and make a scrapbook together. Remember that the legal wedding ceremony needs two witnesses, but your hen do can be as simple as a long lunch at someone's home. The focus is on time together, not spending.
