Why Choose a Spa Day for Your Hens Party?
There’s something truly magical about slowing down—especially when the whirlwind of wedding planning is in full swing. A spa day offers the perfect opportunity to take a break, reconnect, and indulge in some much-needed relaxation, both physically and mentally. It’s the ultimate way to recharge before the big day, and here’s why it should be your top choice:
- More affordable than a weekend away: You get all the luxury and pampering without the hefty price tag of a weekend trip.
- Hangover-optional (but champagne-friendly): Skip the hangovers and opt for relaxation with a glass of bubbly in hand—cheers to stress-free fun!
- Customisable for every personality and comfort level: From soothing massages to revitalising facials, there’s something for everyone, whether they’re all about relaxation or a little self-pampering.
- Perfect for all ages: Whether you’re with your besties, mums, or aunties, a spa day is a versatile choice that everyone can enjoy together.
A spa day at your hens party isn’t just about relaxation—it’s about creating meaningful memories, bonding, and celebrating the bride-to-be in the best way possible. After all, who doesn’t want to feel pampered before the big day?
Setting the Scene: Your At-Home Spa Setup
Creating the perfect spa atmosphere at home, in your Airbnb, or even in the garden is easier than you think! With a few thoughtful touches, you can transform any space into a serene sanctuary. No need for a major overhaul—just set the mood, and the rest will follow.
Here are some ideas to elevate the vibe and make the day feel extra special:
- Fresh flowers or eucalyptus in vases: A simple floral touch adds natural beauty and a fresh, soothing scent.
- Scented candles or a diffuser with calming essential oils: Opt for lavender, chamomile, or eucalyptus to fill the air with relaxation-inducing aromas.
- Soft music or a spa playlist: Create a peaceful soundtrack to enhance the tranquility of the day.
- Matching robes and slippers for the group: Make everyone feel like they’ve stepped into a five-star spa with matching cozy attire.
- Satin eye masks and welcome cards: Set the tone with luxe eye masks and personalised cards to welcome your guests into the experience.
- A grazing table with wellness-friendly treats: Think fresh fruit skewers, sparkling water, herbal teas, and light, bite-sized desserts for a refreshing treat without the guilt.
- Optional: DIY photo booth with a soft linen backdrop and fun props: Capture those Instagram-worthy moments with a cute photo setup. Trust us, you’ll love those group shots when the photo dump starts flooding the chat!
A little goes a long way when setting the mood for a luxurious, relaxing spa day. With these simple yet effective touches, your hens party will be the perfect blend of fun, relaxation, and elegance.

Other Creative (and Fun) Add-ons to Include
1. DIY Face Mask or Body Scrub Bar
Why not turn your spa day into a DIY beauty workshop? Set up a station with all the natural ingredients your guests need to create their own personalised skincare products. Think soothing clay, honey, coconut oil, oats, rosewater, and essential oils. Let everyone mix up their custom face masks or body scrubs and take them home in little jars. Not only is this a fun, interactive activity, but it also doubles as a fab photo op for your guests to share on social media. Bonus: You’ll have a group full of glowing, happy faces!
2. Build-Your-Own Grazing Board
No spa day is complete without delicious, nourishing snacks to keep everyone energised. A DIY grazing board is the perfect way to keep the group fueled while adding a touch of elegance to the event. Fill it with:
- Veggie sticks and hummus for a light and healthy bite
- Cheese wheels and crackers for a savory, sophisticated touch
- Mini sandwiches for some satisfying finger food
- Fruit platters and protein balls for a natural sugar boost
- Sparkling water, herbal teas, and kombucha for refreshing, healthy drinks.
If you’re feeling extra celebratory, pop some prosecco or cocktails into the mix once the pampering kicks off! It’s the perfect pairing to keep the vibes high.
3. Mini Wellness Gifts
Send your guests home with a thoughtful reminder of the relaxing day they’ve had! Small but meaningful wellness favours are a sweet and personalised touch that will have everyone feeling extra loved:
- Travel-sized body oils or hand creams that keep the spa vibes going even after the party.
- Sleep masks for that extra touch of relaxation when they wind down at night.
- Personalised robes or towels that make them feel like they’ve just stepped out of a luxe spa.
- Blys gift vouchers so they can book their next indulgent self-care session (and who doesn’t love a little treat to look forward to?).
These little touches elevate the experience and add an extra layer of thoughtfulness that everyone will appreciate.
With these add-ons, your bachelorette party will not only be relaxing but also super fun, memorable, and filled with meaningful moments. Plus, who doesn’t love leaving a party with a little self-care gift and a DIY face mask to use later?
Planning Tips for a Seamless Experience
- Book Early
Planning ahead is key, especially if your bachelorette party falls on a weekend or holiday. Blys bookings are quick and easy, but spots fill up fast, so secure your pampering session as early as possible. - Know Your Numbers
Make sure you have a solid headcount before finalising your bachelorette party spa day. This ensures that every guest gets a spot and everyone is included in the pampering fun. - Space It Out
For the ultimate relaxation, give everyone enough time between services to mingle, snack, and chat. A rushed spa day defeats the purpose of unwinding, so make sure there’s time to relax between treatments. - Coordinate a Simple Schedule
If you’re hosting a large group, a bit of planning goes a long way. Create a basic schedule, like 30-minute massage rotations followed by nail services and facials. This helps keep the day organised and ensures everyone enjoys the treatments at their own pace. - Check With the Bride
Above all, make sure you’re aligned with the bride’s vision for the day. Some brides might crave a calm, intimate experience, while others might want something more lively and glam. Tailor the spa day to her vibe to make it a memorable experience for everyone.
Make It Memorable With Blys
Blys takes the stress out of spa party planning, with on-demand beauty and wellness professionals who come equipped with everything they need. From massage tables to nail kits to professional makeup tools, it’s a seamless service that’ll leave everyone feeling relaxed and spoiled.
And the best part? You can do it all from your Airbnb, your backyard, your hotel suite—or your living room.
Want to go the extra mile for your bride squad? A Blys gift voucher makes the perfect party favour. Starting at just $50, it’s a thoughtful way to say thanks, while encouraging your besties to continue the self-care long after the confetti settles.
The perfect bachelorette party isn’t always loud. Sometimes, it’s about pausing together, reconnecting, and treating yourselves to something a little luxe. With Blys, that’s exactly what you get.
