Discover original and trendy ideas to make this day a magical moment, adapted to the tastes of the bride-to-be. From a creative workshop to a weekend with friends, this comprehensive guide will help you create a memorable program that will leave a lasting impression.

Organizing a hen party (EVJF) is an essential step in celebrating the bride-to-be before the big day. Whether you're the best man or a close friend, it's essential to concoct a memorable program that reflects the bride-to-be's tastes and personality. In this article, discover a selection of trendy and original activities for a successful EVJF.

1. Creative workshop: jewelry or wreaths

If the bride is creative and loves crafts, a creative workshop is an excellent idea. Choose a jewelry-making or wreath-making workshop. Not only is this a fun activity, but it also creates tangible souvenirs that participants can keep as a reminder of their special day.

2. Perfumery workshop: create your own perfume

Take the bride-to-be and her friends to a perfume creation workshop. Under the guidance of a professional perfumer, you'll create your own unique fragrance by combining different essences. It's both a sensory and creative activity, and each participant will leave with her own personalized bottle.

3. Spa and relaxation

For brides-to-be who prefer a day of relaxation, why not opt for a session at the spa? Massages, hammams, saunas, manicures and other beauty treatments will allow the bride and her friends to relax and be pampered before the big day. This moment of well-being is ideal for getting together with friends in a soothing atmosphere.

4. Pottery workshop with wine and tapas

Combine creativity and gastronomy at a pottery workshop accompanied by wine and tapas tasting. You'll be able to shape clay while sipping good wine and enjoying delicious food, the perfect combination for a convivial and creative afternoon. Many places organize activities where you can combine creative activities with culinary tastings.

5. Fancy dress party and karaoke

For a fun-filled evening, there's nothing like karaoke followed by a fancy dress party. Choose a fun theme, such as the '80s or your favorite movie heroes, and let your imagination run wild when it comes to costumes. You can even design your own EVJF t-shirt! End the evening by singing the bride's favorite hits at the top of her lungs.

6. Gourmet brunch and cooking workshop

Start the day with a gourmet brunch in a trendy café or at home. To prolong the pleasure, organize a cooking workshop where you'll learn to prepare delicious dishes together, which you'll enjoy afterwards. Whether you opt for a pastry-making class or an introduction to exotic cuisine, this activity will delight the taste buds of all participants. It's also the perfect opportunity to bring a chef into your home to share the secrets of his or her recipes with you!

7. Creating your own cocktail

Take a mixology class where you'll learn how to create cocktails, then invent together a signature cocktail dedicated to the bride-to-be. Give it a unique name and enjoy it throughout the evening. You can even plan to serve this cocktail at the wedding. You can also decide to make a mocktail or any other drink the bride might like!

8. Creating a personalized jewelry box

Organize a DIY workshop to make and decorate a personalized jewelry box. You can choose materials such as wood, leather or fabric, and decorate it according to the bride's tastes. It's a creative activity that leaves a keepsake, useful for storing wedding rings and other jewelry. The bride could use hers to carry her wedding rings on the big day, for example.

9. Girlfriend trip

If budget allows, why not organize a little trip with your girlfriends? A weekend in a European city, a seaside getaway or a trip to a cultural capital can create unforgettable memories. The choice of destination depends on the wishes of the bride and her group.

10. Making an EVJF film

An original idea is to make a short film retracing the history of the bride or your friendship. Set the scene with anecdotes, funny or moving moments, and film it all for an unforgettable souvenir. You can even organize a screening at the end of the evening (or on the wedding day), with popcorn to top it all off.

Organizing an EVJF is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate friendship and please the bride-to-be before she says "I do". Whatever program you choose, the most important thing is to create moments of complicity and sharing that will remain engraved in the memories of all participants. Be creative, have fun, and above all, make the bride feel special on this unique day!
