Why a Cowboy Theme Hen Party Just Works
For girls who brunch, enjoy the countryside, keep their plans stylish, and care about the details (read: your entire WhatsApp group), a cowboy themed hen party hits all the right notes.
It’s fresh, a little bit wild, but still classy. You get the fun of dressing up, some nostalgic country energy, and the chance to make it totally unique. Plus, it looks so good on Instagram. Cowboy hats + boots + coordinated outfits = content gold.
Start with a Cowboy Hen Party Dance Class (Trust Us)
The ultimate way to kick off your cowboy theme hen party? A themed cowboy dance class. And not just because it's fun—though it really is—but because it's the kind of activity your whole group will love.
You’ll learn an upbeat routine to country-pop bangers (think Shania meets Beyoncé), with moves that are beginner-friendly but still TikTok-worthy. Perfect for mixed abilities, it’s a great way to break the ice, get everyone laughing, and build the buzz for the rest of the day.
👢 Bonus: It's a great way to work off those brunch pancakes.
Our cowboy hen party dance classes are designed for real women: the girls who love their Saturday morning pilates and their Friday night cocktails. They're relaxed, inclusive, and always led by friendly pros who know how to bring the fun without the cringe.
Our fun themed hen party dance classes are available nationwide. Choose from over 25 exciting dance themes, from Cowgirl and Mamma Mia to 90s Pop, Line Dancing, Charleston, Spice Girls, and beyond. We can come to you anywhere in the UK or help you hire a fab local venue.

Cowboy Hen Party Outfits & Accessories: Look the Part
Time to talk wardrobe.
One of the best parts of planning a cowboy hen do is the fashion. A themed outfit gives everyone the chance to join in (no pressure, just good vibes), and you can go as low-key or full glam as you like. Need inspo? We’ve got you.
What to wear:
-
Denim shorts or skinny jeans
-
Checked shirts tied at the waist or sparkly crop tops
-
Cowgirl boots (white boots are everywhere right now)
-
Fringe, glitter, or metallic accents
-
Pink, white, or rose gold hen party cowboy hats
👜 Accessories complete the look. Think: neckerchiefs, personalised sashes, cute mini bags, belt buckles, and even a sparkly lasso for the bride. If you’re going all in, matching sunglasses and themed tees are a cute addition too.
And yes, the bride definitely needs a statement hat. One with a veil or glitter that says “Bride” is practically a requirement.
Fun Cowboy Hen Do Games (That Aren’t Cringe)
Once the dance class is done and the outfits are slaying, you’ll want to keep the energy high with a few playful, themed games. These work brilliantly in an Airbnb, garden, or even pre-dinner cocktails.
🐴 Bucking Bronco (the inflatable kind)
Hire one for an hour or two and let the chaos unfold. It’s hilarious, surprisingly competitive, and makes for unforgettable videos.
🤠 Lasso Challenge
Set up a lasso game where you try to hook a bottle, a traffic cone, or—if you’ve got the space—a giant inflatable cowboy hat. Winner gets a cocktail!
🎯 Prosecco Pong, Cowboy Style
Swap red cups for mason jars and make it country cute. Add challenges like doing a “Yeehaw” or cowboy pose for extra points.
📜 “Wanted” Hen Party Dares
Print mini "Wanted" posters with cheeky dares. Light-hearted and fun, these add a Wild West twist to classic hen do games.
Cowboy Themed Decor, Food & Drink
You don’t have to rent a barn to bring the Wild West to your cowboy hen party—just lean into the vibe with little touches that feel cute, coordinated, and photo-ready.
Decor:
-
Dried flowers, pampas grass, and hay bales (if you’re in a house/garden setting)
-
Western-style signage and backdrops (“Last Rodeo”, anyone?)
-
Fairy lights in mason jars
-
Cow print balloons/decor or pink glitter accents
Food
Stick to relaxed but delicious. Think sharing boards, nachos, sliders, mini mac 'n' cheese pots, and cocktail sausages with honey glaze. You’re feeding fashion-forward gals who brunch—not a rugby team.
Drinks
-
Prosecco (obviously)
-
Custom cowboy cocktails: Try a Spicy Margarita, Whiskey Sour, or a “Blushing Bride” with pink gin and elderflower
-
Cans of fizz with cute paper straws for on-the-go toasts
