Top 10 Classy Gold Coast Hens Ideas
Classy hens parties are the classics for a reason – they’re timeless and something your bride-to-be is guaranteed to love. At My Ultimate Hens, we live and breathe everything sparkly, fabulous and fun, but that doesn’t mean we don’t know how to celebrate your hen is a sophisticated way too! We've curated a list of our top Gold Coast hen party ideas to spark inspiration and ensure that your bestie has an unforgettable send off!
1. High Tea Soiree
A delicious high tea is the perfect way to start out your classy hens celebration! Indulge in delicious treats from sandwiches, scones and sweets, as well as tea, coffee and of course, a few glasses of champers too! This is the perfect way to include the bride to be’s family as well as your cousin’s new bub, your great great aunt and nana as well!
A high tea is also a great way to break the ice between the group as well, before continuing the celebrations! If you’re doing the high tea as a first stop, consider arriving a little bit early, setting out some name cards and goody bags with everything you need to really set the scene! Some of our favourites to set the table with are heart sunglasses (obviously!) and a thank you card!
2. Dinner And A Show
You’re on the Gold Coast! Why not go all out? Splurge on your hen and treat her to a dinner party followed by a glitz and glam show! Dinner is the perfect place for you to take some photos for the socials and enjoy a few cocktails before heading to the show of a lifetime! From The Pink Flamingo to Draculas, there really is something for all of our hens!
If you reallyyyyyyy want to go that extra step further, why not organise limousine transfers for the group or even a drinks package too? This way, everything is taken care of and no one needs to take out their wallet on the night!
The Gold Coast is the perfect place to treat your hen to a totally dazzling and unforgettable experience because it's renowned for it's incredible entertainment! Just choose your favourite show, and prepare for an incredible night!
3. Private Luxury Yacht Cruise
Set sail on the iconic glittering Gold Coast waters with a fabulous private yacht cruise. With absolutely stunning views, the wind in your hair and a wine in your hand - there really is no better way to celebrate your bride-to-be in a classy and luxurious setting!
Enjoy world class service from your on board crew, and bring along your favourite drinks ready to sip, sail and celebrate in absolute style. Many hens love to choose a hens party playlist to pump on board - so remember to add in plenty of your hens favourite tunes, and maybe even consider a theme!
It's not every day you get a whole luxury yacht all to yourselves, so live it up and make the most of this classy Gold Coast hens idea!
4. Luxury Day Spa Session
Whether this is the start of your celebrations or part of your recovery, a day spa is the perfect way to refresh and recharge. For a hen who is always on the go, a hen needing a well deserved break from mum life, or a hen who simply loves the finer things in life - treat her to a day of relaxation and a break from the madness of wedding planning!
Throw on those fluffy robes and indulge in a glass of bubbles as you’re treated to a truly luxurious pamper session. From blissful relaxation massages to rejuvenating facials, a Gold Coast day spa session is the perfect low-key yet classy way to send off your bride to be!
5. Exclusive Cocktail Making Class
Make and shake your way through a fabulous cocktail making masterclass for an indulgent and interactive way to celebrate your bride to be!
This is another great ice breaker as the group learn delicious recipes to stash away for their next cocktail soiree, and maybe even learn a new fact or two about their favourite tipples!
With your own expert mixologist to show you the ropes, you not only get to drink your creations, but you know they will be perfectly balanced for a divine taste as well!
No cocktail session is complete without some delicious grazing, we say - so pair this with some charcuterie and share plates and you have a sophisticated and incredibly fun celebration that ticks all of the boxes for your classy hen!
6. Gold Coast Hens Winery Tour
Picture yourselves visiting some of the most picturesque locations, sipping incredible wine and enjoying a day in the sunshine with your best girls. If this sounds like your hens dream, then it's time to book that Gold Coast winery tour!
With your own privately chauffeured transport, and pre-arranged VIP tastings at every stop, you will be living it up, raising a glass to your bride and snapping the perfect Instagram shot amongst the lush vines in no time!
What if I don't know much about wine?
You don't need to know what a tannin is, or the difference between a light or bold red to know that it tastes absolutely amazing...and gives you that wine buzz that just doesn't hit the same when you're sitting at home watching Netflix as it does when you're breathing in the fresh Mount Tamborine air amid picturesque rolling hills!
Whether you're a wine enthusiast or a novice, the winery tour provides the perfect setting to bond with your besties over exquisite wines - and provides an amazing opportunity to learn a thing or two as well! Swap stories, revel in the beauty of the vine-covered landscapes, and immerse yourselves in a winery tour soiree that is as classy as your bride to be!
7. Luxury Stretch Limousine
A hens party limousine isn't just transportation, it's the epitome of luxury and travelling in style! And where better than the beautiful Gold Coast daaaarling?
When it comes to a My Ultimate Hens limousine experience, you are welcomed inside by your own private chauffeur, where an in-vehicle mini bar awaits you ready to pop the Champagne and let the hens celebrations begin. Then you've got the plush leather seating, disco lighting and amazing sound system for your hens party playlist. If we could add a limousine to every hens party ever, we definitely would!
Booking a stretch limousine for your hen makes a statement, and one that she'll never forget! Why Uber, when you can be chauffeured in a limo, right? Right!
8. Long Hens Lunch
A long Gold Coast hens lunch soiree is the ultimate classy experience for the bride who loves a day time celebration!
A lunch is perfect for sharing stories, laughs and even playing some fun hens party games! With a beautiful long table, delicious food and plenty of cocktails to be devoured, pair it with the iconic ocean view of Surfers Paradise or Broadbeach and you're in hens party heaven!
A long lunch is perfectly versatile, allowing you to choose your favourite cuisine and style of dining! Does your hen love tapas and grazing, or a more formal sit down meal? Does she adore classic Italian dishes like pizzas and pastas, Japanese cuisine like sushi or does she love to get her margarita on, with a Mexican final fling fiesta fuelled by tacos, nachos and extra guac?!
The best thing about a long lunch is that this is only the beginning! It serves as the ultimate pre-quel to a classy activity like a day spa or sunset cruise. Simply divine!
9. Professional Makeup Session
When it comes to classy Gold Coast hens party ideas, a professional makeup session is sheer perfection, especially if you're planning on hitting the town! The Gold Coast is famous for it's amazing night life, so why not pamper yourselves! A hens is the perfect excuse we say.
With a team of professional makeup artists with palettes galore, soft brushes and bouncy sponges at the ready - you will all be feeling like a million dollars in no time! Your makeup artist will listen to your vision for your look, your skin type to match you with the perfect foundation and take your natural beauty to the next level. You may even be feeling bold and ready to try a new lip colour!
Where should I host my makeup session?
We recommend a stunning ocean view apartment somewhere central and close to both the ocean for views, and nightlife for fun!
Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach are our top picks and when it comes to hens party accommodation My Ultimate Hens has apartments as stunning as your bride to be just calling your name! While some hens are in the makeup chair, others can be taking in the breath taking ocean view or clinking champers glasses in anticipation for the night ahead!
10. Hens Flower Crown Making
Flower crown making is an amazing choice for a classy Gold Coast hens party! Why? The Gold Coast is so picturesque, it's the perfect backdrop for such a sweet, girly & fun soiree!
Now, a flower crown workshop isn't just about creating a beautiful take home accessory (although that's definitely one of our favourite parts!) it's an opportunity to delve into the fascinating world of botanical craftsmanship. Queensland has diverse & beautiful flora, and the flowers provided are always freshly picked from the market to be fresh and colourful!
Engaging in a hands-on flower crown workshop allows participants to get creative with their own floral masterpiece alongside friends, laughing, bonding and giggling the whole way through. It's a chance to designd your own flower crown to the flowers and colours that appeal most to you, and of course you come away with a new skill too!
Did we mention all of the stunning blooms adorning the table happen to look absolutely amazing in photos too? The perfect classy Gold Coast hens idea!
