Classy & Non-Traditional Hen Party Merchandise

I've already bought you the best of the internet's tacky hen do merchandise. At their core, hen dos are pretty tacky things, but they don't HAVE to be. There's actually lots of appropriate but adorable merchandise out there, suitable for even the coyest of hens.

Crown & Glory
Sophie's awesome shop has a wealth of beautiful hair accessories, specialising in flowers and butterflies. But it's Sophie's collaboration with Rock 'n' Roll Bride's Kat that is hen do heaven - we dressed my best friend in the Liberace Bunny Ears for her hen do and she then wore them at her wedding. And I'm thinking of stealing them. SO SPARKLY.


John Lewis
Let's face it, could you really imagine good old JL's selling anything from this post? Nope. How about this cute rosette and sash?


Veils
You can still go cliche without going tacky, you know. This little veil is so cute!


Oh So Cherished
This website has several cute hen accessories. I love the badges and the sparkly invites!


Etsy
If you want to go against cliche, Etsy is always a good bet. There's so much pretty, un-tacky things, perfect for a classy hen!


I don't know if this bunting is CLASSY, but it is amazing.

13 Gloriously Tacky Bits of Hen Do Merchandise

Sorry for the lack of posts recently. Fittingly though, it's because I've been ensconsed in hen do organisation and wedding cake making! For a single girl, weddings sure do form a large part of my life. It's cool though, because I bloomin' love them.

The last hen do gave me serious inspiration, so there will be a bounty of posts coming soon. For now I wanted to share my pick of the best hen do accessories. There are lots of different types of hen dos out there - there's the tacky, old fashioned hen, there's the classy hen, there's the crazy themed hen and the hen that doesn't even seem like a hen. I've been on most of those kinds but I have to say that I find the tackiness creeps in. Even if you're not the type of girls who want to prowl the streets in matching outfits with willy shaped accessories, a little bit of cheesiness never seems to go amiss. So even if you're only looking for a little bit of tack, some of these might help...


Don't forget though, if you've got some pound shops near you, trawl them first. Poundland has pink sparkly cowboy hats, the 99p store has 4 tiaras for a pound. Their stock is changing all the time - they are my top tip for hen do purchasing!

Finally, if this whole post made you cringe, don't worry. I'll be doing a post on the best non-tacky hen accessories at some point, too!
