Get creative making gorgeous flower crowns with the girls. You not only make a take-home flower crown (perfect for last minute finishing touches for bridesmaid’s outfits!), but also snack on delicious food and beverages.

6. PERFECT YOUR OWN PERFUME SCENT
Let’s get science-y for a sec. I’m sure you’ve all smelt something before that’s triggered serious nostalgic memories and perhaps didn’t know why. Well, this happens because the Olfactory Bulb, attached to the nasal cavity, connects to the part of your brain handling memory and emotion – sparking these vivid memories.
What better way than to remember your wedding by creating your own scent, complete with a personalised bottle?

7. HIT UP A HENS TREASURE HUNT

With lots of different personalities and interests to suit, a treasure hunt could be just what you’re looking for. Laughter and excitement with some good, cheeky, girly fun! It’s a yes from us!
8. GO GLAMPING WITH THE GALS
For something a little more on the adventurous side, why not a weekend getaway to Lane Cove National Park?
