Hen Weekend Checklist: What to Pack

These days, one last night out on the town with the girls just doesn’t quite cut it when it comes to your hen party. Just as event weddings are becoming all-encompassing affairs, taking up whole weekends and a large chunk of our annual leave, more and more people are opting to venture further afield for their hens and stags.

Whether it’s a spa retreat with your nearest and dearest, or a wild weekend in the sun with your bride tribe, hen weekends are a rite of passage for brides-to-be.

To avoid any pre-holiday packing jitters, leaving you to focus purely on having fun, we’ve compiled a packing checklist with all your hen weekend essentials.

What to pack on your hen weekend: hand luggage

Personalised suitcase for the bride

HB-london-suitcase-hen-weekend-checklist

Brides-to-be will want to stand out from the swarms of weekend holidaymakers right from the get-go (particularly if you want to be in with a chance of bagging a free flight upgrade). If head-to-toe bridal get up isn’t your bag, a monogrammed suitcase should do the trick. We’re loving this monochrome cabin-sized style from celeb favourite HB London.

Cabin bags for the bridesmaids

If you’re jetting off with a gaggle of hens, you’ll also want your bride-tribe to travel in style. Co-ordinating with your bridesmaids and bridal party is a fun part of the hen weekend festivities, but we’re not talking tacky tour t-shirts. Match the bride with contrasting monogrammed cases.
