What would or was your dream Hen Night

Welcome to this week’s hen night discussion blog and this week’s topic is “what would your dream Hen Night be” or if you’re already married what was it?

Tell us about the location, entertainment, hotel and meal and anything else that would or did make it a dream Hen Night.

There are many Hen Night ideas out there one of the new one’s for this year is the Burlesque evening. Including dressing up in all the 50’s costumes and going to a show. Often drinks in a classy cocktail or wine bar can follow this.

Of course there is always the traditional pub-crawl style Hen Night but these are not for the faint hearted. Often these involve printed t-shirts, Hen Night sashes, boppers and Willy wands. In fact anything that flashes or gets attention.

The stay at home Hen Night is also becoming popular also known as a bridal shower. Often this is an opportunity to have a second more sedate Hen Party. Allowing it to be respectful enough for the brides Mother and Ants to attend. These Hen Nights often involve the bride receiving gifts from those who attend such as wedding lingerie or pamper kits. Stay at home Hen Parties often have some form of entertainment. One of the most popular are pamper sessions provided by local beauty therapists and make up artists.

A good source of ideas can be found on twitter or on bridal forums and some facebook pages & link pages.

These are just 3 ideas for you to ponder on but we really want to hear what your dream hen night would be.

So post a comment and let us know

What Is A Hen Night


A hen party, hen do, or hen night, is a party held for a woman who is about to get married to her beloved. The term hen party or hen night is more common in the UK, Ireland, and Australia. In the states a hen night is called a bachelorette party. The phrase stagette is also now used following on from the phrase ladette, stagette is also used in Canada. It may also be referred to as a girls night out if the bride has already had her wedding day.

More and more common place on the hen party scene is the poultry party. When both male and female friends attend the event. Often this is a hen party held with all of the brides work friends. Often on a Friday afternoon after work and could include such things as champagne afternoon tea.
