There are lots of things to organise with a hen party – where to go, what to do, what party games to have. Another big consideration for most kinds of parties is the music because it makes the mood, finishes the evening and is great fun. But how do you pick the right music for your party?
70s disco party
Depending on how old the members of the hen party are, the 70s could either be something they remember fondly or something they fell in love with on one of the many 70s revivals! One area of 70s music that is perfect for a hen party is disco – it gets everyone up onto the dance floor, shaking it and singing away. Classics to add to the playlist include: • Disco Inferno – Trammps • Blame it on the Boogie – The Jackson 5 • You Should be Dancin’ & Staying Alive – The Bee Gees Pick an 80s theme There were so many fun themes that came out of the 80s this means loads of choice for your hen party and the music to go with it. Madonna is a huge 80s star and a great theme for a hen party – get a playlist of her music and imitate some of her funky 80s looks for a dress code for the party. Some of the other classic hen party songs could include: • I Wanna Dance With Somebody – Whitney Houston • We Don’t Have to Take Our Clothes off – Jermaine Stewart • Girls Just Wanna Have Fun – Cyndi Lauper • Club Tropicana – Wham!
90s revival
The 90s may not seem that long ago but they are already going through a big revival. And this means they are a great theme for a hen party with some memorable (and terrible) music to enjoy at the hen party. Some of the dance ‘classics’ from the decade would include: • Escapade – Janet Jackson • The Sign – Ace of Base • Doo Woop (That Thing) – Lauren Hill • Music – Madonna • Wannabe – Spice Girls

Music themed hen parties
There’s loads of fun ways to have a music themed hen party, whether you want to go with a particular era or a style. Bollywood music is popular while you can pick tunes from a favourite musical or show. If you are going somewhere warm and sunny like Ibiza, then some of the summer dance tunes will work perfectly. Or you could go for a single year theme like the year the hen was born or met her husband-to-be.
