A hen party is a rite of passage for every bride to be, but we have all heard a horror story of how celebration turned into devastation and things went...

When you have taken up the mantle as hen party planner for “team bride”; it may feel as though you are planning the equivalent of a royal occasion. After all,...

It’s time to put the sass and class back into hen parties because let’s face it – it’s well overdue! Penis shaped straws and sandwiches (even if they were cucumber ones) weren’t everyone’s cup of tea and just plain wrong for your Granny or mother-in-law, but brides felt they had to follow the same tired format of pink plastic and dare we say it - vulgarity. Modern brides, however, are becoming much more chic in their approach and want to include all their hens in the celebrations. Keep it classy Classy hen parties are now the order of the day (or night!) but whatever the venue and theme you choose; a party isn’t a party without fun and games and no - we’re not talking about the ones that end in tears!

The expression if you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all could be likened to the traditional hen party. After all, when you’ve been to one, you really do feel like you’ve been to them all. It may be based on tradition but the only difference between the usual pub crawl completed by a gaggle of stiletto-clad boa-wearing girls is usually how drunk someone gets and who cries in the toilet at the end of the night.
