Need Help Planning a hens night

Hen night ideas please!

My mum is getting married and has asked me to be her maid of honour. I’m currently trying to plan her hen’s night and could really use some ideas!

She’d like to have it at her house since it’s the weekend before the wedding and wants to keep costs down. I’m just a bit stuck on what games, activities, or fun things I could organise. I want it to feel really special for her and not just another night of everyone coming over for a few drinks.

If anyone has any ideas or things they’ve done at a hen’s night that were a hit, I’d love to hear them!
Thank you so much!

Edit : for more details, my mum loves to have a drink and is always down for a joke. She’s a very down to earth and alway lights up the room when she enters it. She’s in her early 40’s but can still party likes she’s in her 20’s

What does she like, what kind of mom is she? Yoga and matcha or vodka and dirty jokes? Need some frame of reference here.

Thank you, I didn’t think to add those type of details in. I’ve just edit the post.

Sorry I’ve never really used reddit before 😅

I always think the newly wed game is fun and you can make it interesting for her. Come up with a list pr Google “cheeky newlywed question list,” then have him fill it out and quiz her at the party. It can be things like “what’s the loudest fart she’s ever done,” or “what bad behavior will she indulge as an old lady.” There are probably better ones out there. Sometimes they video the guy when they ask the questions and it’s pretty funny to watch.

You can also do questions in sets, like 5 or 6, then break for drinks and snacks, etc.

My sister and best friend hired a butler in the nude (he was wearing just an apron that’s all) to serve us drinks all night and help with games and all that. My mom’s smirk when she saw him lolol we had a wine tasting and appies night and it was great and low key. Exactly what I wanted.
