Hen party at home

Sometimes shit happens and all the planning goes wrong. The participants of a hen party do not agree on venues, budget themes and other stuff. The chief maid is getting ill or must leave immediately with serious reasons (illness of relatives or even funeral). The bride-to-be suddenly is left alone with bunch of ladies invited to the party which do not imagine that they are not going to any party. There are thousands of reasons in women's live what can be an obstacle to one of the most memorable days in entire life.

Do not give up! You may cry, shout and yell, be angry, but do not give up and make a blitz hen nigh just at home by yourself.

All you need to do is to buy some snacks and drinks, also some balloons and party decorations (can be found in any bigger supermarket). Also make sure you have some simple things, for example deck of cards, candles, matches, photo camera etc. If you have a computer with internet connection at home, you are saved. You can find lots of amusement online.

When participants come you just explain what happened and offer to help decorating your apartment with balloons and other party stuff. This procedure is very important, because doing something together relieves the tension which was caused by the fact that you are not going anywhere and chief maid is missing. Open the bottle of wine or whiskey, ask helping with the snacks. All ladies will be busy for an hour and you can know them better.

Crazy idea. Ask the ladies to surprise you by organizing impromptu hen party. Leave them in other room and give some time. They may discuss and organize a crazy party for you.

Once you have prepared everything for a party, you may discuss some venues which can be done at home. Here are some suggestions:

• Ghost party. Just wrap yourself to the white sheets, close all lights, light some candles and tell the horror stories. Or you can watch horror movie on TV or from your DVD collection (of download from torrent site)
• Poker night. Get the cards and some small things like matches or cut some piece of paper into small triangles and write some numbers on them, for example 10, 50 and 100. They will be your "chips". If you want something exciting, you can download any most popular online poker client and deposit some small amount of money. Then you can participate in some tournament and allow ladies watch and give advices. Of course you have drink a little first :)
• Porn night. Men always watch porn. Try to watch porn for you. Find some porn sites with naked men (not gay). This may be exciting for an hour, but if your participants are still virgins (joking). Of course you can play "truth or dare" game while watching male sex photos or videos.
• Photo session of a housewife life. Just try to get into the closet and get some clothes of the hostess. Grab a photo camera and make some sexy pictures of some participants in the kitchen, cleaning toilet, ironing, washing dishes etc. The ladies should wear just panties and some other clothes (not bra) and act like sexy and horny housewives. Later you will have fun selecting the best pictures. Use simple image editing program called Picasa and make some simple effects such as negative photo, Sepia effect which turns your photo to an old like picture. Then write to CDs and give to participants.
• Cooking party. You may also try to cook some masterpiece from what you can find in cupboard - pasta, flour, vegetables, sausage or any other products which are not used frequently. This experience will help in future life when husband will require some home made hot meal. Also cooking some delicious meals as cheap as you can is an art which women should practice from time to time.

Of course you should drink a little to make sure the party is cheerful enough. Otherwise it will not be a hen party.

Hen party suggestion - know your participants

One of the basic hen party suggestions is very simple - just get to know who and what is going to participate in a hen party. In UK usually the bride gives the right to organize the hen party to her chief maid which is her friend or close relative. Usually best maids do not know all the invited participants well, so it is very important to get as much specific information about them BEFORE the party organization. Why? There are a few reasons:


Girls have different background and point of views, including the opinion about how to organize the best hen party ever. If you will not be diplomatic, the discussion about hen party theme clothes can end in a girly fight. Then the party will be ruined as some participants may even refuse to participate.

Not all the girls have the good sense of humour, therefore some events and actions may appear not funny to them. If one laughs and all the rest are sad - the party failed.

The girls have different understanding about modesty. Be careful choosing the sexy clothes and control your behavior as it would be quite funny when all girls will be dressed in pirates, but one of the pirates behaves like whore and the rest like run-away nuns. The extravagancy of the party should be discussed in the beginning.

Find out if the girls prefer indoor or outdoor party. It would be very selfish to dress up like  cinderellas, and go camping, paintballing or even to a military hen party. City girls usually do not like mud and flies around their heads, so before arranging anything in the village or woods, please find out if there are any nature 'haters'.

The alcohol part is also very important. Make sure you find an acceptable option for hen drink out. Some girls may not like strong drinks, some would prefer beer. As organizer you should find a general solution. Please do not force ladies to drink something extreme. Mixing various drinks can be dangerous for health next day and spoil the clothes if there won't be lavoratory nearby and on time.

And the last, but not least issues is money. Please find out how much money girls can spend on party organization and drinks&snacks. If you think 100 pounds are almost nothing, other participants would not agree with you as they have some other financial responsibilities and cannot afford to give such money. Budget planning is a very important task, so please find out about each participant's capabilities.

How would you find out such information? There are 3 ways:

1. Meeting girls personally (recommended)
2. Calling on phone or Skype
3. Writing the questions by email if participants will arrive the same day as party

Sharing information is very important, so make sure you can send some options and comparisons of events and prices to their emails or by SMS.

And forget for blasphemy - Democracy is not the best order to organize the party. Less discussions - quicker the organization - less nerves and stress.

Hen night UK

What is the difference between hen party and hen night? Usually people in UK use both phrases meaning the same, however it should be considered as two different types of venues. There is also another two hen party activity types - hen do and hen weekend.

Hen party is a single party held somewhere in the bar, village house or regular flat in the London suburbs. The party involves regular party activities - drinks, laugh, loud music, dance (both on the dancefloor and pole if allowed by security guys). Parties can be held privately or in public places such as bar, night club, cafe etc. During the party you can grab some snacks as you have a table nearby in the same facility.

Hen night is the same just pointing to wide rage of party-like activities. Hen night is usually referred to when speaking about the action taken in time. Usually hen nights begin in midday and end in the next morning. The Hen night can include a few hen do’s and parties, but it must last no longer than 24 hours otherwise it should be called “hen weekend”.

Hen do is a simple attraction for hen night participants. For example a 2 hour Spa course or Hen party in Army event is a simple hen do. During the hen night there can be several hen dos - hanging-up strangers, disclaiming the oath, music video filming, photo session, paintball etc. Usually they are associated with hen themes - the costumes or roles the participants of the party are playing - pirates, movie stars, soldiers, nurses, angels and devils and hundreds more.

If the party lasts longer than 24 hours, it should be called hen weekend. Usually it starts on Friday and lasts all Saturday. It may end even on Sunday. That would be a long hen weekend. During the such weekend the participants - maid and her maids and best friends - usually have at least 2 hen parties and lots of various hen do’s. Here are some ideas about 2 day hen weekends.

Anyway, all the hen activities are crazy, funny, sexy and relaxing as this is the last days of freedom of a future wed.
