A hens night is one of the best opportunities that any bride has to put on her dancing shoes, let loose and hang out with her closest friends. If you are the one planning the party, there are certain things that must be considered if you are going to have a great time.
Attendees
This is a great time to forget the stress of planning the wedding and have a night of fun. There are two ways that you can put together your list of attendees. You can have family members, colleagues, friends and mothers or you can make it close knit with only the bride’s closest friends in attendance. If it’s going to be a crazy hens party it may be a good idea to go with the latter. However, if you want to be more well behaved, then the former will keep you in check. Invite people who will also be coming to the wedding and if you are looking to invite the bride’s colleagues, be sure to check with her first.
Activities
The activities you choose will define the kind of party you have. Some people prefer day activities, but the majorities prefer to dawn on their hens night sashes and paint the town red all night. It is best to choose activities that will allow people to get to know each other and mingle with ease. It is a great idea to have a theme, lots of hens night games, hens night accessories and decorations, and maybe even matching outfits. If you will be having the older generation in attendance it is a good idea to keep things tame and then after they leave, bring out the more risqué accessories, decorations, games and dares.
Attire
Most people don’t generally think of this but it is a good idea to have a dress code if you would like to. The dress code that you come up with will depend on the activities and hens games you have planned. Of course you should let your guests know what the code is or at least if they should have on flat shoes, carry their swimsuits, put on pants and the like. If you will be in a place where you need to identify each other or stand out, you should consider dressing alike, wearing hens party sashes, putting a mock veil on the bride and the like. With the mock veil she will definitely be the centre of attention which is what you want.
