Winter may bring chilly temperatures, but it
doesn't mean your hens night has to be limited to indoor venues. Embrace the magic of the season and
plan an unforgettable outdoor celebration that will have the bride-to-be and
her friends talking for years to come. In this guide, we'll share exciting hens night ideas and games perfectly suited for the
Australian winter climate.
Choose the Perfect Venue
When hosting an outdoor hens party during
winter in Australia, selecting the right venue is crucial. Look for locations
that offer sheltered areas, such as gardens with marquees, rooftop terraces
with heaters, or outdoor patios with fire pits. Ensure there are ample seating
arrangements, and consider renting portable heaters to keep your guests warm
and cosy throughout the event.
Create a Winter Wonderland Atmosphere
Transform your outdoor venue into a mesmerising winter wonderland by incorporating seasonal decorations. Adorn the space with fairy lights, lanterns, and candles to create a warm and inviting ambience. Incorporate faux fur blankets in seating areas to provide extra comfort and warmth for your guests. Consider using winter-themed props and centrepieces to enhance the festive atmosphere.
Play Entertaining Hens Night Games
Engage your guests with a range of entertaining
hens night games that reflect the winter theme.
Divide the group into teams for a scavenger hunt with winter-related clues. For
those who prefer fewer physical activities, host winter-themed trivia. These
interactive games will keep everyone entertained and add an extra element of
fun to the celebrations.
Offer Seasonal Food and Drinks
Warm the hearts and bellies of your guests with
a menu that celebrates the flavours of winter. Serve hot cocktails like mulled
wine, spiked hot chocolate, or festive winter-themed cocktails. You can also offer
a variety of comfort foods, such as hearty soups, gourmet grilled cheese
sandwiches, and more. Incorporate seasonal fruits and vegetables into salads or
desserts to add a fresh touch to the menu. Be sure to accommodate any dietary
restrictions or preferences to ensure everyone can indulge in the culinary
delights.
Plan for Weather Contingencies
While outdoor hens parties in winter can be
magical, it's important to be prepared for unexpected weather changes. Keep an
eye on the weather forecast leading up to the event and have a backup plan in
case of rain or extreme cold. Renting a marquee or tent can provide a sheltered
area in case of inclement weather. Additionally, have a supply of blankets,
umbrellas, and disposable rain ponchos on hand to keep your guests dry and
comfortable.
Don't let the winter chill dampen your hens night spirit! With the right planning and preparation, hosting an outdoor celebration in the Australian winter can be a memorable and unique experience.
