All brides want their hen night to be the most remembered and talked about, usually consisting of a meal in a fancy restaurant followed by some serious clubbing and copious amounts of alcohol.

Nowadays hen nights have turned into hen weekends some even joining forces with the stag and his friends for a combined hen and stag weekend. Some will spend the whole time together and others find it nicer if the women and men split up in the day time and do separate activities (lets face it some of the things the men want to do may not be suitable for the women) and then meet up again in the evening for drinks and a meal and possibly a club later on.

For most people the thought of a hen night that involves travelling and more that one night away would seem costly but this needn't be the case. If you book well in advance considerable savings could be made and always ask if there is a group discount depending on the size of your group.

Once you have decided on your destination look around for activities either on site or in the area that will suit you and your group, these could range from crazy activities such as bungee jumping, go carting or the quieter ones such as a health spar most of which will provide a fantastic hen night package, and what could be better than a group of friends spending time together and getting thoroughly pampered.

If money is tight then you could always opt for a hen night in, gather a group of your closest friends or family or both and spend a night in eating what and as much as you want. It is a good chance to spend some quality time with your friends, do not worry about it being boring, it wont be, in the up and coming weeks or months you will be so busy with the wedding then the honeymoon and then most likely starting a family so it will be nice to take time and spend it with your closest friends.

Whatever you do decide to do for your hen night or hen weekend always take plenty of pictures or even a camcorder, there is nothing better than sitting down in years to come to see what a wonderful time you had with your best friends you could even make a scrapbook or mini scrapbooks to give as gifts at the wedding.
