Getting married is one of life’s true joys, the dress, the venue, the flowers, the wedding lanterns, it’s all glorious! But with the big day approaching your maid of honour is probably in the throws of organising your hen’s night. Does that make you nervous?

Are you the type of person who dreams of having a luxurious day in a day spa being pampered all day long drinking champagne then heading to a vineyard for wine and cheese in the afternoon? Or would you prefer heading out on the town for a huge party with your girlfriends, strippers and all?

Depending on what type of person you are, you’ll want to make sure your maid of honour gets it right! Ensure you tell her straight out if you don’t want a big party, she’s not a mind reader and what might be perfect for one hen is completely different for another. There are lots of ideas floating around – you can have a destination hen’s night, gather together your girlfriends and head over to a close European country for a weekend of partying and pampering, or simply stay home and see what your city has to offer. 

Do you want a low key hens party? Or a wild hens party? If you are after the low key option, things such as brunches, race days, day spas and dinner parties can be lovely ways to celebrate your last moments of singledom without things getting out of control. If you are a wild one, you might like to have a large party in a hotel and hire strippers or male waiters to come serve drinks and canapes.

There are ways of having a wild night without paying for it the next day in memory loss and hangovers. Whichever way you choose to go, please tell your maid of honour so she can make your party one to suit you!
