Every bride deserves a hens night as it often represents the last night they get to have an adult party or celebration with their friends as a single woman. Often, the bride is so busy organising the wedding itself, that the responsibility of organising the hens night falls to someone else, usually the maid of honour or bridesmaids.

It is most fitting to make this a special night for the bride and make sure all her close friends and relatives are invited. Often it is necessary to also include future relatives, such as the mother-in-law and sister-in-law. In deciding where to have the party and who to invite, we must think first and foremost of the bride. It is her special night and one that should always bring back great memories.

To make the Hens night run smoothly, here are a few ideas:

· Make sure invitations go out well ahead of time. Don’t leave it to chance that people will have the date free, give them plenty of warning. Also, it is important to think carefully about the guests. It is often best if we invite a smaller group of close friends than a cast of thousands. This makes the evening more manageable and more intimate, giving the bride a chance to really spend quality time with her friends.

· Decide where the party will be held. Will it be in someone’s home, a restaurant, bar, nightclub or other venue? It may be we want to go to a few different places throughout the night. For example, have dinner at a restaurant and then visit a nightclub. Think about this beforehand to ensure it will be easy to get from one place to the other.

· Pick a theme for the night. This is ideal if the party will be at a home. There are some fantastic games and fun ideas for hosting a hens night. A great idea is to have a lingerie party that allows the bride to pick some sexy lingerie for her wedding night or honeymoon. Sometimes, depending on the bride and guests, a strip-a-gram can be fun and add a bit of frivolity to the evening. Who knows, it might be her first and last chance to get one of these.

· Get some extra accessories to spoil the bride. There are lots of fun ideas like tiaras, costumes, adult party games and the like that add some fun to the evening. We want to make the bride feel special and have a great time. Adding these extra touches can do that.

A hens night is a great way celebrate with a friend who is about to get married. Make it an adult party experience she won’t forget for a long time.
