Getting married is a huge thing to arrange. After months of searching for the right venue and booking everything for the date you want, you’re finally ready to walk down the aisle. The cake is made, the dress is fitted, and the flowers are ordered. But there is one more thing that needs to be organised before you become a bride. It’s time to have a spectacular hen party!
It’s common for friends and female members of the family to be invited to the hen do. They may not all be coming to the wedding, so this could be your last chance as a single woman to spend some time with them. Traditionally the bridesmaids or maid of honour arranges everything. However, most brides want a say in the party details and the activities you’ll all get involved with.
One of the best ways to celebrate is to hire a house for the night so you can all be together. Then you can bring the entertainment in. It saves you a fortune in travel arrangements, and it saves anyone from getting lost. You can find plenty of large party houses to rent all over the UK. You might choose somewhere close to home if it’s nearly your wedding date. Or you may even make a holiday of it somewhere further away.
Once everyone has arrived at the house, you can start toasting the event. You may have champagne or wine stocked up. Why not create some pitchers of cocktails? You could even hire a bartender to come in and keep the drinks flowing for the evening! You will also all need a good meal. If you don’t fancy cooking for twenty people, why not have caterers and waiting staff on call to manage the meal? You could even have a DJ creating the sounds for your party.
Entertainment for a hen party is often quite riske. But it’s good fun! You can hire dancers to come to the house and put on a show for you. A less intense option is to have a spa party. You can hire beauticians to come to the house and give each of you a makeover. You could have facials, pedicures, or even a makeup lesson. The choice is yours. Often a mix of all three ideas goes down really well for a large hen party!
You may be loathed to spend a lot of money on your hen do when the wedding costs so much. But this could be your last chance to spend so much quality time with the girls. It’s nice to be all together for the whole evening. And if things get a little wild, at least you are all safe and in a comfortable house. You could share the event with the bachelor party, so you’re not doubling up on costs. This can sometimes be a lot of fun, and even quite competitive!
Hen parties are about getting a little wild, and enjoying everything girly before your big day. Have a lot of fun with your friends.
What would be your ideal hen party? What would you plan for your best friend?
