A pole dance on my hen night?

Pole dancing hen parties are a great way to celebrate the end of single life, create memories with your friends and enter wedded bliss with some new knowledge that may spice up the honeymoon.

Lots of brides are strapping on stilettos for a night of pole dancing instruction rather than the typical hen night in a pub. There is a range of visit your home instructors who can visit your hen night at home. Or there are various clubs out there that offer classes to hen parties with free nightclub passes for after.
Often the best way to organise a pole dancing hen night is via a hen party package company like Go Bananas. Of course fancy dress & hen night accessories are a must for any pole dancing hen night. Pink boas help add to the sexy glamour of the class along with a pink wig if you can keep it on. Of course the bride to be garter is a must for any pole-dancing bride.

But with out any doubt pole dancing can be a great start to the hen night.

How to organise a hen night


How to organise a hen night.

The most popular question we get from the chief bridesmaid and hen’s about the hen night is “where do I start?” So this weeks post is hopefully going to give you some help with your hen night planning.

1. The first thing that you want to do is offer to plan the hen night and talk to the bride to be about whom she would like to invite. Draw up a guest list with the bride-to-be that includes first and last names, phone numbers, addresses, and email addresses. To make the communication easier between all the hens you could start a facebook group to keep everyone posted with updates. The best thing to do is use the bride’s name followed by the words hen night and then the destination if the bride is aware of the destination.

2. The next thing you want to do is pick out a date. The best way to do this is to ask the bride for three dates that suit her best. Then, send the group save the date emails, text or facebook message. You could also have a vote on the hen night facebook page to choose the best date.

3. After you have the date pencilled in, talk to the bride about what she would like to do. She may be your best friend from school, but what you talked about doing in school for your wedding day or hen party might have changed. Just make sure that you are both reading from the same page so she isn’t expecting a spa day at centre parcs and gets a stripper in Blackpool.

4. The next thing you want to do is make a to do list of the things you need to do. Some items may include:

A. InvitationsB. Restaurant reservations
C. Hen night accessories
D. Bar/Club/Spa reservations
E. Hotel room bookings
F. As the organisers don’t forget to collect the money do not leave it to the last minute and miss out on the best accessories and restaurants.

5. After you make the list, delegate! Not only will this save you time, but also when you get people involved they feel more a part of the hen party. Plus, they get to do there bit for the bride to be who is also there friend.
