Will your hen weekend be up to scratch. Don't be
chicken when it comes to having fun - here's how to get the best from
your last few days as a single woman
Fast and furious or slow and sensual - how would you
choose to spend your hen weekend?
A hen weekend may be the only opportunity female friends of
the bride have to spend with her before the wedding. It is therefore
important to have as much fun as possible and build up good memories
through the length of the hen weekend which celebrates the bride-to-be's
last weekend as a single woman. The friends on the other hand, may want
to give their soon-to-be-married friend a farewell she will (hopefully
fondly) remember for a long time to come.
The person in charge of organizing the hen weekend has to consider
how many people will attend. With this understanding, she can then set
off to organize their food, accommodation, drinks and entertainment.
Unlike a hen night where all one has to cater for is one night of
provisions, an organizer of a hen weekend has to consider a weekend full
of activities. With these, she must carefully plan all the activities
and refreshments to fully occupy and satisfy the girls of all ages.
Spending the entire hen weekend indoors is not a good idea especially
when many girls have been invited; instead the organizers should opt for
more social places where they can enjoy all the fun. The bride needs to
be involved in the general location and type of venues for the party.
Most brides will want to spend the nights in comedy venues, making
nightclub tours and even doing some dancing with her hens.
Alternatively, the bride to be can opt to celebrate the hen weekend on
the beach. Whatever the location, remember that the ultimate reason of
having the hen weekend is to have maximum fun in the company of your
girlfriends. Make sure that all the activities involved are geared
towards giving you a memorable weekend.
The hen party can choose to spend the weekend away from the hassle of
modern life. They can choose a more reserved atmosphere where they can
engage in activities such as quad bike riding, water rafting or even sun
bathing. Care should be taken with the bride's skin to protect it from
undesired tan gradients, or even sunburns, which would be noticeable
during the wedding. A bride may also choose to treat herself and her
friends to a pamper package, which would include getting their hair
styled, pedicures, manicures, facials and massages. Alternatively, they
could spend some time in the Jacuzzi. However, seeing that it is a whole
weekend, the girls can also go for dancing lessons and other interesting
activities.
To make the hen weekend memorable, the organizer can locate unique
activities that the hen party will undoubtedly enjoy. The activities
should unite the hen party and not leave some individuals out. Remember
that this is no time for the bride to fall out with her friends. Lastly,
a hen weekend should offer a different experience to the girls too. If
organized well, the hen weekend can be a very special experience for
them and at the end of it; everyone in the hen party should feel special
having spent quality time and had fun with the rest of her girl friends during the
hen weekend.
