Hens Party Ideas - How To Plan A Hands On Celebration Party

🧘‍♀️ 1. The Yoga Hen Party – Stretch, Breathe, Celebrate

Start the celebration on a balanced note with a private yoga session at Upstate Yoga Richmond. Their beautiful studio and expert instructors will take your group through a rejuvenating flow designed to nurture the body, mind, and soul. It’s the perfect way to ground the group before the festivities begin.

“Our favourite Yoga teacher will wow your bride tribe with authentic, holistic yoga practices,” says Amelie N.

💅 2. The Hip Hen Party Hangout – Nails, Hair & Glamour

Need a little pre-party polish? Victoria Street’s nail and beauty salons are a hidden gem for hens looking to glam up without the luxury price tag.

  • 💅 Jade Top Nails – Known for fun nail art and friendly staff

  • 💇‍♀️ Har Beauty – Great for group hair styling or a sleek blowout

  • 💖 Nails on Victoria – Walk-in friendly and perfect for a quick glow-up

Perfect before dinner or cooking class photos, and all just steps away from your party base.

📍 Various salons on Victoria Street, Richmond


🍽️ 3. Private Dining in Richmond – Loud, Fun & Delicious

When you want a private venue to laugh, toast, and indulge, nothing beats a group dinner on Victoria Street. Choose from local favourites like:

  • 🍲 Thai Tiger Rabbit – Fun atmosphere and flavours

  • 🍜 Thy Thy Vietnamese Dining – A longtime local staple for pho lovers

  • 🦆 Pacific House – Crispy roast duck and seafood done right

Or go all out at Otao Kitchen, where we’ll serve a custom meal in our private dining space—think Asian fusion, Aussie comfort food, or a chef’s tasting menu.

“It’s your night—let us make it unforgettable,” says Jason M.

Combine this with a food tour or just a cheeky pre-dinner drink—Victoria Street’s nightlife has it all.
