If you’re wondering where to begin with finding the best wellness hens party ideas in Melbourne, let us help you out. If the bride-to-be is the type who would prefer chilled out hens party activities over walking around the city wearing a sash and veil, then you may need to think outside the box when it comes to planning a hens party in Melbourne. For the wholesome bride, think hens party games and activities that focus less on drinking and debauchery and more on sharing a beautiful day with loved ones.
The bride is someone who values her friends and family the most and is someone who wholeheartedly loves the idea of reconnecting with her nearest and dearest on her big day. She’s an eco-warrior who is doing her bit for the planet, yet she loves to try new things as she’s constantly learning. She’s not a big fan of drinking alcohol but she’s happy to have one or two, especially as it’s her hen’s party.
If this sounds like you, or the bride you are organising a hens party for, then these wholesome hens party ideas in 2025 are for you! Plus these activities for hens parties are fun enough that the whole party will love them. Why not make a day of it and include at least three activities into your hens party itinerary or choose at least one to kick start the day?
1. DIY natural beauty workshop
When most people think relaxed hens party ideas, they think self-care and pampering. And they'd be right! There's nothing like taking care of your skin with natural skincare to feel blissed out and zen. That's why this natural skincare workshop is first on our list of hens party ideas. This workshop will see you and your gal pals learning the basics of creating all-natural and organic skincare with just a few simple ingredients. With no nasties or toxic chemicals, it's a fun masterclass in natural self care. Plus you'll all wrap up the workshop with your very own natural skincare products to pamper yourselves with before the big day! See what our community members had to say about this class:
"Lovely and welcoming instructor, beautiful space, easy to follow class/instructions and 3 great products to take home! We were also spoiled to a yummy lunch handmade by the instructor. Overall great experience!" - Mel P.
2. Soy candle making workshop
Continuing with the self-care theme, candle making classes are next on our list of relaxed hens party ideas. From pouring wax to experimenting with scents, candle making is a super sensory experience. It's also a perfect activity to end the festivities on making it one of our more popular hens night ideas in Melbourne! After a day of fun activities and games, there's nothing like winding down with some candle making then heading home to light your handmade candles as the shadows lengthen.
3. Soap making class
Next up, learn how to make natural soap and enjoy keeping your bath and shower routine chemical-free! These classes are perfect for beginners so no previous experience is necessary, making them a perfect Melbourne activity for a hens party as anyone can join. You’ll begin the class with a thorough explanation of how to use the equipment and materials. You’ll then learn how to mix soap and have time to experiment using different oils, exfoliants and scents to add your stamp onto it. As well as being chemical free, making your own soap ensures you're not buying products wrapped in plastic---a win for the environment!
4. Terrarium class
For those who worry about having dead plants in their home, terrarium making is the perfect hens party activity because they're super easy to look after! You'll start off the class learning how to make your terrarium. Although they look tricky to make, when you have the right tools and materials, along with an expert teacher to help guide you, you’ll be surprised at what you’re capable of doing. Then everyone will be taught tips and tricks for taking care of their terrarium. They only require watering a couple of times a month so you don’t need to worry so much about being responsible for them. At the end, take your terrariums home for a whimsical touch of nature.
To make it feel like a real hens party opt for a private terrarium class and bring some drinks and nibbles. We like this tipsy terrarium class for a fun hens night with the girls.
"We loved this class! It was fun, a nice activity as a group and we had something lovely to take home at the end of it! Renae gave easy instructions and was very helpful when we didn't get it quite right, she was also relaxed as we chatted during the activity. Would definitely recommend this as a group task with something special to show for it!" - Caroline P.
5. Pottery class
Continuing on with our wellness theme, our pottery classes are one of the most popular hens party ideas in Melbourne! Not only is pottery a relaxing and meditative experience, but it’s also an activity most people really enjoy. The satisfaction of being able to create your own mugs, bowls and vases you can use in everyday life is a super rewarding experience. If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to use a pottery throwing wheel, you’ll be guided by our expert local Australian teachers who will show you everything you need to know about making your own ceramics. The beauty of these classes is that you’ll be able to gain the skills to go home and continue on making pottery as a hobby. As long as you have some clay and water, you’ll be able to replace so many kitchen items with your homemade pieces. Hens love this class because they are constantly reminded of the beautiful memories created every time they use their mugs and bowls each day.
6. Paint and sip
Get your wellness on with some light art therapy at a paint and sip class for hens parties! With the option to bring your own drinks and make them non-alcoholic, your hens paint party can be catered to the group. Bring some snacks along to keep energy up and get stuck into the canvas. Paint and sip classes are perfect for beginners and are more focused on creativity and fun than serious form so they're perfect for social gatherings. With so many classes on offer, you can opt for a paint and sip class that suits your hens party. Choose to host it in an outdoor venue to soak up some nature and enjoy picnic vibes or have the paint party come to your home, decorated in your chosen theme. Paint and sip classes are a popular hens party idea because they're the perfect combo of fun and creativity.
7. Tarot reading for beginners
For a slightly unusual hens party activity that focuses on spirituality and wellness, this tarot reading class will see your party uncovering the power of divination and learning about the rich history of tarot. From more risque readings like delving into the future of the bride's marriage to more lighthearted games, a tarot reading is anything but boring! A mix of theory, history and practical learning, this is a hens party activity for the spiritual gals.
While these are only seven options to include in your hens party, there's more help to be had with your party planning. Most of our classes are mobile-friendly, meaning if you wanted help organising your own venue, we can help you. Just contact us for more details.
