The Hen Do

The last days of residing in singleton village and It's time to see them off with a bang! The Bride needs entertaining and there are numerous different types of amusement to choose from.

It all depends on what the arrangers think will best please their guest of honour.

While notions of a hen party as a night of drunken debauchery persist in some social circles, this doesn't necessarily have to be the case. When held in a private venue, such as the hostess's home, the party may take any form that pleases the hostesses and recognises the bride-to-be. Dinners and cocktail parties, which provide homely chances for participants to talk or to give intimate advice to the bride-to-be, are widespread.

Other hostesses choose a themed party with guests indulging in spa treatments, or a cooking class, or perhaps even a pole dancing lesson!

While proposing a toast to the bride-to-be is common at most hen parties, some focus on drinking games. That's when a personalised wine glass or personalised shot glass is a must!

Participants are often all women. Bridesmaids (if any) are typically invited, but any of the bride's close friends may be included.

This party is typically hosted by one or more members of the wedding party, although it is possible for any friend to host a party in honour of the bride-to-be. Formally, a party in honour of the bride-to-be is never hosted by the bride-to-be, although she may participate in its planning.

When planning a hen do make sure it's personalised. One way to bring a great unity to the party along with a personal touch is with matching personalised hen do T-shirts.

Whatever you decided to do, whether it's paint the town red or keep it more low key, make sure you add a personal touch to you hen do with personalised gifts.
