Hen and Stag

Original Stag and Hen Ideas That Won’t Break the Bank

Hen and stag dos don’t have to feature strippers or cost the earth. You can plan an amazing last night of freedom by getting everyone to chip in a little towards entertainment and food and drink. Add some humour and a few keepsakes and you’ll have a stag or hen party your friends could be talking about for years to come.

Hen Night

 

Start with a theme based on the bride/groom’s favourite past times, whether that’s a certain sport, film, craft or mode of transport and then build your party around that theme with relevant invitations, entertainment, refreshments and fancy dress. Here are some original ideas to inspire you.

1 Frozen Cocktail Party

Colourful frozen Slush Puppy style cocktails are the latest ‘in thing’ at parties and perfect on a hot summer’s day or night. You can buy premixed cocktails to freeze and squeeze or make your own with an ice blender. Create a signature frozen cocktail for the bride or groom and decorate pretty glasses with sugar, fresh fruit, straws and stirrers, just add cocktail umbrellas.

2 Zombie Apocalypse Pub Crawl

For those who love zombie movies and dressing up, you finally have the perfect excuse to indulge both your hobbies at once! Hit the second hand stores for clothes to spatter with food colouring for fake blood then go on a Zombie apocalypse pub crawl before all coming back to watch your favourite zombie movie, still in full fancy dress. Your local town won’t know what’s hit them.

5 Super Sleepover

For those who would rather stay home and snuggle than go out and paint the town red, consider a sleepover at someone’s house. All you need is PJs and popcorn, a funny or feel-good movie – Bridesmaids and The Hangover are both ideal. Add cute transfers to pyjama tops for perfect keepsakes and you could even make your own cushion fort!
