Hens Party Ideas

It is a good idea to hold your hens night at least one or two weeks before the wedding. If you live near wine country, why not try a day of wine tasting with your bridesmaids instead of the usual pub crawl. Local wineries are happy to suggest itineraries. Choose a designated driver or arrange for a car service. Depending on the number of wines sampled and the generosity of the pour, each tasting can easily add up to one or more full glasses of wine.

For the more adventurous at heart, you might want to plan an afternoon of parasailing or learning to rock climb. Perhaps try your hand at scuba diving.

Why not take an entire weekend for a spa getaway rather than a one-night event. In that case you have plenty of options. Consider whether you want a weekend filled with pampering beauty treatments or perhaps one that caters to the soul with refreshing hikes, meditation, and exercise. Sites such as Red Balloons have some ideas available.

If you already have plans for a night of bar hopping, spice up the event. Start the evening at your favorite restaurant, and move from club to club, choosing a different atmosphere for each stop. Perhaps after that, a mellow jazz venue. Finish the night at a quiet neighborhood watering hole where you and your bridesmaids can squeeze into a cozy booth and share memories over a bottle of chardonnay.

Some other suggestions:

• Nature Lover - Rough it in tents or enjoy cozy cabins, go hiking in or take in a scenic route.
• Slumber Party - Why not stay in and have the girls/guys over for a slumber party? Mix your own drinks with DigitalBartender.com.
