30th Birthday Decoration Ideas for Him and Her
Top 5 Hen Party Decorations for Every Budget
Planning a hen party is no easy feat. A hen party is one of the most exciting parts of wedding celebrations. However, finding the right hen party decorations can be challenging. Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering with your girls or going all out and hosting a big hen party bash, the party décor plays a vital role in setting the mood and creating memorable experiences.
Here are our recommendations for the best hen party decoration ideas:
1. Balloon Décor – Timeless and Affordable
Balloons are usually the focal point of every party décor and rightfully so – they’re affordable, eye-catching, and enhance the visual appeal of the venue. You will be amazed at the difference you can make to a room with some balloons and props to bring your party vision to life.
For tighter budgets, consider purchasing pre-filled helium balloons or creating a DIY balloon archway. To create a balloon archway on your way, you will need a set of balloons, a decorating strip, and command hooks. The kind of shades you pick depends entirely on the theme and tone you’re going for. The balloons can be pastel, metallic, or the bride’s favourite colour.
However, if you’re able to spend more, consider opting for customised foil balloons printed with names, logos, or messages. Or you can also go for LED balloons embedded with LED lights that glow in the dark or giant confetti balloons. They not only look stunning in photos but also increase the visual appeal of the ambiance.
Giant balloons spelling out “BRIDE TO BE” are also trendy and add a fun Instagrammable element. Consider placing these balloons behind the cake table or near the photobooth area with plinths adorned with flower vases. The balloon archway is being placed near the entrance to celebrate the gorgeous bride-to-be.

2. Glamorous Backdrops and Photo Walls
No hen party is complete without a designated photobooth area, and a glamorous backdrop can turn any corner of the venue into a picturesque area. Consider getting backdrops that shimmer and add a sense of glitz to the party. Popular options include pink and gold sequin backdrops, and hang these against a wall, preferably at the back of the photobooth. Add some festoon lights or balloons to enhance the effect.
White or black starlight drapes also go well with the aesthetic of a hen party. Combine these décor elements with neon signs like “Let’s Party” or “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” to set the tone for a day full of joy and love. For those with flexible budgets, you can also hire balloon garlands and lighting, such as party lighting or uplighters.
Last but not least – no hen party is complete without a selfie photo booth for the girls to gather around and take pictures that they can reminisce about for a lifetime.

3. Table Settings and Creative Centrepieces
Hen parties are all about the girls getting together and having their favourite food and drinks. The right table setting can often enhance that experience and also help create a celebratory atmosphere.
If you’re working with a flexible budget, consider the LED light-up sphere & mirror plate centrepiece. This simple yet bold piece adds a soft and ambient glow to any evening or low-light setting. These can also be particularly suitable for parties revolving around a UV or retro aesthetic. Additionally, rustic wooden lanterns are ideal for vintage, rustic, and boho themes. Pair these with festoon lights and wildflowers to create a cosy and warm ambiance.
Other options, such as the giant martini vase centrepiece, the crystal martini bowl with mirror plate, or the mirror ball martini centrepiece, bring a bold and dazzling touch to the table. These options are perfect for themes that scream luxury and are vibrant. For instance, disco parties, glam squads, or lavish dinner gatherings.
For themed parties, particularly the popular hen party theme – a Hollywood-themed celebration, the Oscars statue centrepiece or James Bond gun centrepiece are great options to consider to create a sense of whimsical luxury.
The black and white feathered centrepieces are also ideal options to make a stunning statement. Tall, glamorous, and dramatic – these centrepieces are eye-catching and transform any table into the roaring, striking glamour of the 1920s – the Great Gatsby style!
Centrepieces are small additions that go a long way to enhance your table presentation. So, make sure to choose wisely!

4. Themed Décor and Props
One of the most convenient ways to plan décor for any party is to decide on a theme. Having a theme in mind makes it easy to work around the décor and prepare the venue for the celebration. Plenty of rental décor companies offer themed décor kits that include centrepieces, props, and photobooth items, and all other décor elements you could need for your party.
Some of the most popular themes for hen parties include “Boho Bride”, “Hollywood Glamour”, “Garden Party”, or “Bride Squad”. Daniel Lay Event Services also offers ready-to-go decoration theme kits with a minimum price yet maximum impact.
To add more special touches for your favourite bride, get a matching tiara, customised matching robes, or themed games. Any themed set-up that reflects on the bride’s preferences, hobbies, and personality is the perfect way to celebrate and honour her as a bride.

5. Lighting and Ambiance Enhancement
Lighting is an essential element of party décor. It helps set the tone for any celebration and significantly enhances the visual appeal of a venue. However, it’s often overlooked by event planners and party hosts. For your hen party, ensure good lighting to enhance the ambiance and aesthetic, and create a sense of celebration and joy.
If you’re hosting an outdoor celebration, hang festoon lights along tree branches, canopies, and poles to create a warm and cosy atmosphere. Additionally, you can also add LED neon signs with cheeky phrases or light-up number signs for a vibrant ambiance. These particularly go great with outdoor celebrations being held during the evening.
Lastly, if you’re in the mood to dance the night away and have decided to include a dance floor, consider hiring moving head lighting or party lighting for a vibrant, party atmosphere!
