No. A hens party is typically a special night out for a bride to be and her best friends. It’s definitely a chance for them to let their hair down before the big day. A bridal shower is a more formal event and may include her family members as well as her future mother and sister-in-law. Gifts are an important part of the bridal shower as well.
Bridal showers are typically organised by the maid of honour, bridesmaids, bridal attendants, and/or close friends of the bride. Nevertheless, nowadays, everything is changing and traditions no longer have to be obeyed, unless you want them to be. This means even a bride can organise her own bridal shower!
Feel free to have as many as you wish! Remember, however, to invite different guests to each party. Only close family and friends are usually invited to a shower party multiple times. Therefore, it is imperative that you contact other close friends of the bride and make sure that they are not planning to hold a party for the same group of people.
Private Dining Rooms
Perfect for intimate kitchen teas with a touch of elegance. These indoor spaces offer privacy, weather protection, and the option to tailor menus to the bride’s taste. Just note that some are dining-only spaces, so check in advance if you want room for games or mingling.
Restaurants, Cafés & Rooftops
Want something relaxed and stylish? Melbourne’s bars and cafes often charge based on minimum spend, not hire fees—great for budget-savvy planners. Bonus: Many venues feature rooftop terraces or courtyards, ideal for sunny afternoons (just check if they have weather cover).
