THE HEN’S PARTY

TIPS FOR MAKING YOUR HEN’S NIGHT A NIGHT TO REMEMBER

Your Hen’s Night is a chance to let your hair down amidst the pressure of your wedding preparations, and to celebrate your last days of being single.

There are a number of different ways you can celebrate your Hens night, and as it is traditionally the Matron of Honour (or Chief Bridesmaid) who helps with all the preparations, you will need to work closely together so she knows that type of Hen’s celebration you would like.

Whatever you decide to do, it’s a good idea to have your Hen’s party at least a week before the wedding. You want to look and feel your very best on your wedding day and a late night of partying and recovering from a hangover definitely won’t help.

In addition to all that, your wedding day is a very tiring affair – you are on your feet for long periods of time and are always the centre of attention. You don’t want your “happy snaps” featuring you yawning all day.


SAFETY FIRST
If going out for your hen’s night celebrate, remember safety in numbers

Ensure you have a way to get home and if you are traveling by taxi, have a friend ride with you or stay in contact via a mobile phone

If you have male entertainment at a private party, ensure someone remains sober to greet them & take care of the financial arrangements
