Once upon a time, there was a blushing bride who wanted a Disney themed hen party to make her wedding prep dreams come true. So we conjured up some magical tips, tricks and ideas to help you plan the most perfect Disney hen party for the bride-to-be and her ladies.
This is one of our most popular hen party themes for good reason! There are so many ways you can tie Disney into your hen weekend, so we’ve laid it all out in this complete guide.
1. Plan Some Disney Decorations
If you are hosting your Disney hen party at home, in self-catering accommodation or somewhere where you can put up some decorations, then there are some really cute and unique decor ideas that will help set the mood for your theme.
DIY Snow White Mirror
If you have a bathroom mirror you can set up at home or in your hen do accommodation as a fun makeup station, then this Disney Snow White decoration idea will be the talk of the hen party. You’ll need to:
- Buy an A3 or A2 size piece of sturdy paper or cardboard.
- Draw or trace the oval shape of a mirror, adding any magical touches you’d like to make it look like the Evil Queen’s magic mirror.
- Cut out the outside and inside of the mirror to create the shape with the hole in the middle where the mirror should be.
- Decorate the mirror by colouring it in, adding glitter, fake jewels or any other decorations you’d like.
- On the day of the hen party, stick the cardboard frame to the mirror in your bathroom. Use a whiteboard marker or even lipstick to write a Snow White-themed message next to the mirror. Something like ‘Mirror, Mirror, on the wall’.
Now, whenever one of the girls in your hen party needs to freshen up or put their costume/outfit makeup on, they’ll be able to speak the magic words and have a bit of a Disney-themed giggle.
DIY Disney Hanging Garlands
Creating your own Disney-themed garland decorations is a great budget option for your hen party. All you need to do is:
- Buy paper or cardboard in the colour(s) you’d like.
- Draw or trace the shape you’d like on the paper and cut it out. We love the simple Mickey Mouse head shape, a Disney Princess or even the Disney Castle.
- Place the first shape on the paper and trace as many copies of it as you need.
- Cut out the remaining shapes.
- Cut lengths of string or ribbon as needed.
- Sticky tape the cut-out shapes on the string and hang where you like!
Disney Themed Bedding
Buying Disney bedding isn’t exactly a decoration but it really will help bring your theme to life if your hen party group are sleeping over somewhere. It’s a particularly fun idea if you’re planning to have a Disney movie night.
You could keep it simple and cheaper by only buying a duvet set for the bride but it would look gorgeous if everyone could sleep in a Disney bed for your hen weekend!
2. Play Some Disney Hen Party Games
We love a good hen party game and your Disney theme opens up a whole new world of themed games to treat the girls. We’ve created some unique Disney hen do games that you can print and play for free!
Match The Disney Love Songs
We’ve put together a FREE printable game card for you to play this fun Disney hen party game. Ask your girls to bring their best singing voices with them this hen weekend because they’re going to have to know their Auroras from their Elsas or Snow Whites with this one.
Go to our blog to see how to play the game, what you’ll need and to download the free printable game cards in different designs.
Match The Disney Quote & Character
There are some golden oldies and some more obscure quotes in this Disney hen party game. Let the girls know they might need to have a bit of a Disney marathon before the hen weekend to do their homework. Simply match up the quote with the Disney character – may the best princess win!

Pin The Kiss On The Frog
This hen party game is a fun bridal twist on the traditional pin the tail on the donkey. But this time, you’ll be pinning little red lip kisses onto a printout of the frog version of Prince Naveen from The Princess And The Frog.
All you’ll need is:
- A printout of the frog prince (try for A3 or bigger).
- Small paper or cardboard lip cutouts to pin on the frog.
- A blindfold for each girl to use to see who can get closer to the frog’s lips.
We’re afraid he won’t truly turn into a Disney prince for the winner to run away with but it’s a good bit of old-fashioned fun and makes for a fun love-themed Disney hen do game.
Disney Lip Sync Battle
A Lip Sync Battle is already a very popular hen party activity you can book with us here at The Foxy Hen. But if you’d like to keep it a little less formal and try it at home or in your accommodation, then this hen do game is perfect for your group.
All you’ll need to do is:
- Get each of the girls to choose a Disney song from a list you’ve prepared, at least a week or two before the hen party (check out our Disney hen party playlists in section 6).
- Make sure you’ve got a fake microphone of some sort and some good speakers to play the songs.
- Give each girl a small set of blank paper and a pen, so they can score each girl out of 10.
- Each girl should get up individually and lip-sync their Disney song (dance routines and costumes are optional but very much encouraged).
- Score each performance out of 10 and the girl with the highest points at the end wins!
If there is a tie for first place, choose a final Disney song they have to lip sync together on the spot to decide the winner.
