Hen Party Ideas

Since you are the chief bridesmaid, it is your responsibility to organize the hen party. In collaboration with the bride, you have decided on a time and place for the hen party, who to invite, and what the theme will be. You have also spoken to all the invitees, thought of some forfeits and questions for the Mr. and Mrs. quiz and you have estimated the price per person.

So, aside from your nerves, everything appears to be under control. You are concerned that something may not go right, the bride-to-be may not be happy, the attendees may not have fun, and you have just heard or read about hen parties that were total disasters. Following now are some pointers that can help you, the bride, and the other hen night participants get through it and have a great time in the process.

I. Regardless of whether the party is in town or out of town, all participants must know the hen night theme and the entire schedule.

II. The bride must be the center of attention and she should enjoy it.

III. First of all, get together at somebody’s home, have a drink, laugh a little, and the atmosphere will get better; everybody will relax and get ready for the remainder of the evening.

IV. Don’t attempt to surprise the bride if you don’t know for sure that she will like it. Be considerate of all of the stress she has to deal with and stay away from anything that might make her mad or irritate her.

V. Be ready to take many photographs, as they will provide lots of great memories in the future.

VI. Alcoholic beverages will be quite abundant, but you could alternate them with soft drinks. The party will be ruined if you pass out or have to spend the night kneeling over the toilet bowl. It’s alright to drink in moderation, particularly if you are reserved by nature, but don’t spoil the party by overindulging (at least not too early on).

VII. Being a chief bridesmaid, one of your jobs is to make certain the bride comes home or gets to the hotel safely.

There may be some interesting moments during hen night, regardless of whether it takes place at home or in a more risqué environment. But keep in mind that anything that happens on hen night is confidential and known only to the attendees. There is no point in describing embarrassing situations to others, and you can bet that those who attend the stag party will not be blabbing about theirs.
