The stereotypical nightmare hen party – as one might imagine it to be – doesn’t leave a very pleasant array of images in the mind; very drunk women in tasteless attire, sporting thinly disguised cleavage, all tearing through town in a vulgar and semi-predatory search for their pre-booked male stripper. Well, they’re not all like that. But some are, and this reputation can be what deters some women from wanting a hen party at all prior to their wedding. Fortunately though, there are some great alternatives that don’t involve male strippers, nudity or vomiting. What’s more, they’re still fun as well.
Camping Hen Night
What is the point of a hen party? Undoubtedly, it centers around an opportunity for the bride-to-be to share some intimate time with her best female friends, before surrendering herself to the joys of marriage. That’s perfectly reasonable, and quite sweet. But it seems that this has been misinterpreted by many, and that “intimate time” now constitutes an evening of drunkenness and debauchery. If this doesn’t sound like your bag, then there’s no need to subscribe to it. You can have a perfectly lovely evening in the company of dear friends, camped out under the stars. Such a different take on the concept of a hen party actually provides its participants with far more time for reflection and bonding than its more sordid or boozy counterpart. It all depends on your perspective of course, but a camping hen night might be just the ticket.
Fortune Telling Hen Night
Marriage is all about making a very real commitment to spending your future with someone you love. And what better way to look to the future than to look to the future. Whether you subscribe to the practices of Tarot, Runes or Clairvoyance, having someone predict the future of your relationship can be a novel and potentially revealing event to include in your celebrations. You don’t need to hire in a mystic, light candles and be stone cold sober of course: fortune telling services can be utilized online through one of many online groups such as Kooma.
A Fresh Way to Celebrate
A hen party can be a fantastic way to celebrate your final days of being single. And unless you wish to go down the same beaten bath trod by the vast majority of hen night’s, there are some great alternatives.
