Brushes, Bubbles & Bare Bums: The Hens Party Idea You Didn’t Know You Needed
Forget playing it safe with hens party ideas, this one serves bubbles, brushes, and bare bums on a silver platter. It’s cheeky, fun, and guaranteed to have the whole crew laughing. Paint, sip, and admire... all in the name of celebrating your bride!
Picture it, prosecco in hand, paintbrush loaded, and one very confident muse baring all for your artistic inspiration. It’s cheeky, creative, and the ultimate way to turn just another hens into a night nobody will forget. My Ultimate Hens life drawing activity could be the ideal way to add an extra layer of fun.
What is a Sip & Paint (with a Saucy Twist)?
A Sip & Paint is the ultimate way to unleash your creativity while sipping on your favourite wine. Think of it as an art class, but with way more fun and way less pressure. You’ve got your drink in one hand, your paintbrush in the other, and a blank canvas that’s just waiting for your masterpiece.
But here’s the twist, instead of just painting flowers or sunsets, you’ll be capturing something a little more daring: a life model in all their glory. Yep, we’re talking tasteful nude life drawing. It’s playful, a little risqué, and guaranteed to get everyone laughing.
And don’t stress if you’re no Da Vinci. This isn’t about creating a perfect piece of art; it’s about having a blast, sharing a few laughs, and bonding with your crew. No artistic skills required, just plenty of fun and a whole lot of bubbles.
Why This Paint & Sip Twist Is a Total Bride Vibe
Inclusive Fun
Not every hens party has to be loud, wild, or fuelled by 3am dance floor antics. A paint & sip party offers something truly special, an activity that brings everyone together, no matter their age, vibe, or party style. It’s the ultimate crowd-pleaser with just the right mix of creativity, connection, and fun.
Whether you’ve got a bride squad full of extroverted besties or a mix of low-key legends (hello, mum, nan, and that shy cousin who’s not a club person), everyone feels welcome here. There’s no pressure to be an artist, just good tunes, easy laughs, and a glass of something bubbly in hand as everyone paints their own masterpiece. It’s less about perfect strokes and more about making memories.
Even better, it sets a relaxed, feel-good tone for the day or night ahead. Think bonding, giggles, and a few “accidentally abstract” creations that make for the best inside jokes and keepsakes. Paint & sip is the hens party vibe that includes everyone, and that’s what makes it magic.
Memorable Moments
Picture this, the bride tribe gathered around, paintbrushes in one hand, bubbly in the other, laughter echoing through the room as everyone unveils their "masterpiece." From surprisingly artistic creations to wonderfully wobbly stick figures, every canvas tells a story, and every brushstroke brings a moment worth remembering.
This isn’t just another activity you’ll forget by Monday. It’s the kind of experience that sticks with you. The hilarious attempt at painting the groom’s face, the unexpected talent from someone who swore they couldn’t draw a thing, the inside jokes born from accidental splatters and shared sips. Everyone walks away with their own one-of-a-kind artwork, plus a whole collection of laughs, stories, and feel-good vibes.
Long after the last glass is clinked and the paint has dried, these are the moments that come up in the group chat again and again. It’s not just about what you painted, it’s about how you felt while you did it. Connected, relaxed, and completely in the moment.
Instagram-Worthy
Let’s be honest, this kind of hens party was practically made for the 'Gram. From the moment the paint palettes hit the table to the final cheers with a glass of bubbly, every detail is a photo opportunity waiting to happen. The setup is chic, the energy is playful, and the art? Equal parts cheeky and charming.
Whether you're all in matching outfits, sipping cocktails mid-brushstroke, or cracking up at someone’s questionable attempt at a flower vase, there are endless moments to capture. Think fun boomerangs, candid laughs, group selfies, and that satisfying reveal of your finished masterpiece.
And of course, the ultimate photo moment? Holding up your work with pride, surrounded by your bride crew, flashing your best pose. Add some fairy lights, a cute backdrop, and maybe a custom sign with the bride’s name, and you’ve got a feed full of memories. This isn’t just a party, it’s content gold.
Flexible Options
Every bride tribe is different, and the beauty of a paint and sip party is how easily it can be customised to suit your vibe. Want to bring your own drinks and nibbles? Go for it. Many venues welcome BYO, giving you the freedom to stock up on your favourite bubbles, sweet treats, or grazing platters without any hassle.
Most spots provide all the essentials, including glassware, table setup, and even ice buckets, so you can focus on the fun without worrying about the details. Whether you’re bringing in homemade goodies, going all out with charcuterie, or turning up with a case of prosecco, it’s your call.
This flexibility means you can tailor the experience to your group’s style, preferences, and budget. Keep it low-key and casual, or go luxe and curated. Whatever your crew is into, the setup can match. It’s your night, your way, and that’s what makes it unforgettable.
Booking the Venue
First things first, sort your space. You can book a sip and paint studio that caters to hens parties, giving you a ready-made setup and a fun, creative atmosphere. Or, if you’d rather do your own thing, turn your home, Airbnb, or hotel suite into a cheeky art gallery that’s completely your own. All it takes is a few easels, some art supplies, and a group ready to get a little messy and have a lot of fun.
The star of the show? A professional life model to pose for your masterpieces and keep the giggles coming. Add a grazing board filled with your favourite snacks, bottles of bubbles on ice, and a mix of drinks everyone loves. With the right setup, you’ll create an unforgettable experience that feels relaxed, playful, and totally on theme.
Guest List & Invitations
Gather your best girls and start building the hype early. A paint and sip hens party is all about fun, creativity, and cheeky surprises, so let that energy shine through from the very beginning. Think carefully about who’s on the guest list, making sure you’ve got a mix of close friends, family, and the bride’s ride-or-dies who’ll bring the laughs and keep the vibe upbeat.
When it comes to invitations, make them playful and full of personality. Whether you’re going for printed cards or fun digital invites, include a little teaser of what’s to come with a line like “Brushes, Bubbles and Bare Bums are on the cards!” Add in sketch-inspired artwork or soft pastel colours to tie it all together. The goal is to get everyone excited and counting down the days before they’ve even picked up a paintbrush.
Dress Code
Set the tone with a fun theme that gets everyone in the mood. Go “artist in Paris” with berets and aprons, or channel glam art critics in all-black outfits and bold accessories. It’s an easy way to elevate the vibe and get those creative juices flowing.
If your bride’s feeling extra, add feather boas, sparkles, or matching robes with her name on the back. It brings instant laughs and makes your group photos pop before anyone even picks up a paintbrush. Dressing the part adds that extra layer of fun and makes the whole experience feel special.
Extras That Make the Night
Elevate the chaos with add-ons that bring the energy. Queue a fire playlist (think Beyoncé, disco, and guilty pleasures), plan a few hens party games to break the ice, and set up a photo booth with paint-splattered props or cheeky quotes. Add personalised art-themed keepsakes like mini canvases or sketchbooks to take home, and you’ve got a hens night no one will forget.
