Classy Hen Party Ideas for Mixed Ages
The perfect activity when you need to entertain the Mother of the Bride, the younger cousins, and the wild ones all at once.
The 'Generational Gap' Problem
Finding an activity that isn't 'too boring' for the young ones but not 'too much' for the relatives is a balancing act.
The Cringe Factor
Nobody wants to see their Mother-in-Law uncomfortable at a raunchy strip show.
Exclusion
High-adrenaline activities or heavy drinking sessions often leave older guests sitting on the sidelines.
Boredom
Standard 'Afternoon Tea' can feel a bit flat if you want energy and laughter.
Why Life Drawing Bridges the Gap
It sounds counter-intuitive, but Life Drawing is the great equalizer. It's not about nudity—it's about art, creativity, and shared laughter. We treat the session with respect, humour, and professionalism.
- Tasteful & Professional - No 'cringe' moments.
- Inclusive - Grandma can draw just as well as the bridesmaids!
- Interactive - Gets everyone chatting and laughing together.
- Relaxed - Sit down with a glass of wine (no running around).
- Memorable - Everyone leaves with a souvenir drawing.
"I was terrified about booking a stripper because the Bride's mum is quite conservative. This was SO different. It was hilarious but completely classy. Her mum actually did the best drawing!"- Sarah J. | Maid of Honour
Tips for a Multi-Generational Hen
1. Focus on Shared Experiences
Choose activities where everyone participates at the same level. Life drawing levels the playing field—nobody is an expert, so everyone bonds over the learning process.
2. Control the Environment
Hosting at your accommodation allows older guests to dip in and out. If they want a cup of tea during a break, they can. It's much less pressure than a nightclub.
3. Daytime is Prime Time
Plan your main bonding activity for the afternoon. It sets a fun tone for the evening dinner, and ensures those who might retire early still feel like they were part of the main event.
