Hen party ideas
Ok so as you would have guessed, me being the hen party specialist and all that, I have been to a few other hen parties since my own. (The weddings are still going; I have seven more this year).
Now I am a happily married lady and my hen party is over, I don’t need to worry about what my friends have got in store for me! So if you want a few ideas here are some snapshots of what went on:
I went to one hen party in London which was in Bethnal Green. The hen requested cheap cheap cheap, so we ended up having a lovely dinner at her house which was cooked by her sister (stew and baked potatoes, in case you were wondering). The house was amazingly decorated and there was a hen book which everyone scribbled in. Her sister requested that everyone send her the name of two songs that reminded each person of the bride-to-be, which cost absolutely next to nothing and was a really meaningful touch; the cd was on loop the whole night and everytime a song came on, the bride was so excited to hear and remember why it was being played.
There was also a loop of loads of pics of the bride to be, on the projector screen (easy – a projector was borrowed and all you have to do is stick a memory stick with a load of pics into the projector, which we hired from: )
There were no strippers (on request from the bride) but as a surprise, the bridesmaid organised for a fortune teller to come to the house. It was such a good idea as no one had any idea and it meant that each person went away with something personal. Everytime someone came back from having spoken to the fortune teller, everyone sat and listened to what they had been told; everyone was enraptured!
After that, it was more drinking, dancing and chatting. (Oh I forgot to mention that the theme was party dresses, which was awesome as people got to glam up but the dress code was also quite loose, so people could come in ballgowns, strapless numbers, or leggings heels and dresses, or anything really).
I stumbled into bed at about four am, having had an incredible night. It was so much fun as everyone was really up for it and didn’t have to spend loads of money. So if cheap is the way forward, think of the small touches:
Photos
Songs
Food
Games (Each person could stand up and say one thing they love about the bride-to-be, or tell one funny story).
