Stag and Hens
Whether you want a relaxing evening out with your friends or fun weekend partying, your stag and hen night needs to be memorable. Your best man and chef bridesmaid should be organising this for you, so make sure they know what you would like.
It is more popular now to have a weekend away to a busy city with a group of friends. Some even go abroad to France or Spain, visit their local water parks and get a last minute tan. Budget will be a big factor as to what you chose to do, because traditionally your friends will not only pay for themselves but also contribute towards your expenses. There are many companies now that will organise your weekend for you. You tell them what you would like and where you would like to go and they book your hotel, restaurant and buy any tickets. All you have to do is turn up.
It is becoming popular to have a day at a spa relaxing before getting ready, together with a bottle of wine and some music, to go out for a meal and then onto a night club. If you are going to travel to a big city, then Car Hire Weddings offers a variety of transport options suitable for hen and stag events.
There are lots of other activities that you could do, for example hire a boat on the Norfolk broads, rent a cottage in the Cotswolds, have a cheerleading party, visit a comedy club, go to the races (greyhound or horses), a night at a casino, quad biking, paint balling, wine tasting, dancing lessons or just simply a nice relaxing meal with your best friends chatting about old times.
Some couples like to share their hen and stag weekend/evening together and have one big party with all their joint friends. Others like to enjoy a day doing activates and a meal separately and then joining up in the evening.
Your friends might even put you and themselves in a costume with bunny ears, cowboy hats or even the traditional L plate. You might feel silly at first but this could get you free drinks or money off admission in clubs.
Don't forget about your invitations. Make them look fun as they will set the theme for the evening or weekend. Why not print a recent photograph on the invitation, or even one from school or when you were a baby? You could have the events of the weekend or evening listed on your invitation or you could leave it as a surprise.
