All That You Must Know About A Hens Night

1. Hens nightswere once considered the bride’s last night of freedom. These days, they’re viewed as a celebration of friendship and sisterhood. It’s also about the bride’s friends supporting her as she’s about to enter an exciting stage of her life. But celebrating a hens nightisn’t new. Women celebrated Proaulia, a pre-marriage ritual in ancient Greece, thousands of years before the modern version of hens night that became popular during the 1970s. If you are planning one for your best friend or loved one, here are a few tips to help you plan the perfect hens night: 1.Who To Invite? Every maid of honour has this dilemma – who should I invite, and how can I be sure everyone the bride wants to the party is invited? I suggest working with the bride on this, but if you have planned a surprise event, you could start by asking the groom for the guest list. Here, in Australia, only the bride’s friends are invited, with the mothers, grandmothers and other relatives invited for the bridal shower. Besides friends, some of the people making it to the list could include – colleagues, cousins, or even wives/girlfriends of the groomsmen if they’re friends. Make sure you don’t invite too many people because organising such a party can be a nightmare. Alternatively, if the list is too small, you may be unable to do many things because of the minimum participation numbers that hotels need. 2.Not Everyone Likes Surprises Most hens nights are arranged with inputs from the bride. They need not know everything that will happen on the night but must be kept in the loop about important aspects like whom to invite, where to go, when, and the planned activities. The bride must know the date and who has been invited – but most importantly, where the event will start. Whether or not it will be a surprise party depends on the bride’s personality. If she loves spontaneity and loves to go with the flow or is an easy-going person, a surprise party would be appreciated. But if the bride loves to plan everything in advance and is hypersensitive to unplanned events, it’s best to check with her before planning the party. 3.Not Everyone Likes An X-Rated Event Hens nights need not be x-rated by default; it’s alright to choose a theme close to the bride’s heart. It could be a karaoke night for brides who love music or a camping event for outdoorsy brides. And if you’re not sure about choosing an apt theme, consider hiring professional party organisers. You can, however, choose the middle way, i.e., go for a simple hens night with a few naughty hens night gamesthat aren’t too raunchy.
