What Happens at a Hen’s Night? The Ultimate Guide for Bridesmaids in Singapore
Not sure what actually happens at a hen’s night in Singapore? From planning chaos and party games to rooftop cocktails, this fun guide spills everything bridesmaids need to know to throw an unforgettable—and mildly chaotic—bachelorette bash.
So you’ve been named a bridesmaid (congrats, sis 💅), and now it’s your sacred duty to throw the bride a hen’s night that’s equal parts fun, flirty, and mildly chaotic—but still elegant enough that no one ends up banned from Clarke Quay.
But wait… what actually happens at a hen’s night?
If your only reference is “Bridesmaids” the movie or that one cousin’s scandalous Facebook album from 2014, don’t worry. Here’s your ultimate, tell-all guide to what really goes down at a Singapore hen party—and how to survive it with your dignity (mostly) intact.
1. The Group Chat Planning War Begins
Every hen’s night starts with a bridesmaid WhatsApp group chat. It begins innocent enough:
“Should we do dinner or drinks first?”
“Who's free next Saturday?”
Fast forward 3 days and it’s 123 messages, 4 polls, 2 fights over the budget, and one silent member who hasn’t replied at all (but will show up looking amazing).
2. Themes, Dress Codes & Questionable Accessories
Expect something pink, sparkly, or with bride squad printed across your chest. There will be a sash. Possibly a tiara. Maybe a novelty veil and definitely some props shaped like things we can’t write here.
Popular Singapore hen night themes:
- Barbiecore But Boozy 💖
- Mamma Mia! ABBA Night
- Pajamas & Prosecco
- Classy Until Karaoke
The bride might say “no need to do anything extra.” She’s lying. Always plan for extra.
3. The Dinner: Where It All Starts Calmly
The night typically kicks off with a nice dinner. Think chic vibes at spots like PS.Cafe, Ce La Vi, or some hidden-gem izakaya that only one girl in the group knows how to pronounce.
There’s lots of laughing, champagne toasts, and “omg remember when she first met him?” stories. For now… all is calm.
4. The Games Begin (And The Blushes Start)
No hen night is complete without mildly NSFW games.
Some classics:
- How Well Does the Bride Know Her Groom?
- Never Have I Ever: Wedding Edition
- Who Said It: Groom or K-Drama Lead?
- Dare Cards That Go Too Far But Are Hilarious
Someone will be dared to flirt with the waiter. Someone else will be dared to sing “My Heart Will Go On” on the street. Accept your fate.
5. Bar Hopping, Rooftop Views, or Full-On Clubbing
Depending on the bride’s energy (and heel height), your group may end up:
- At a chill bar like Level33, sipping cocktails with a view
- Dancing the night away at Zouk or Marquee
- Singing like divas in a private karaoke room
- Or back at someone’s hotel suite for round two of Pictionary and prosecco
6. The Hangover (That You Can Avoid)
Let’s be real: not every hen night ends quietly with chamomile tea and a foot mask. And with cocktails flowing and shots happening “just one more time lah,” hangovers are real.
Solution? Enter: anti-hangover gummies.
It's becoming a thing lately. Revit, Singapore's home-grown brand of anti-hangover gummies, are packed with vitamins and natural extracts that support your liver and reduce next-day misery.
Pop one before the party and thank yourself tomorrow when you wake up feeling like a functioning human instead of a dehydrated raisin in glitter. ✨
7. The Aftermath: Group Chat Debrief + Photo Spam
The next morning = 300 photos, 25 videos, and at least one “pls don’t post that” moment.
But also: genuine memories, ugly laughter, and stories the bride will tell at every anniversary.
Just make sure the bride gets the best shots. It’s literally her party.
