Hen Party Tips
Hen Party Tips
This is your great opportunity to get together all your female friends and loved one's to celebrate your big hen night!
The key to a great, hiccup free night is to be well organised. Make sure you have planned everything down to the last detail and you can't go far wrong, so gather your mates around you and put your heads together to dream up the best girls' night ever, one to write up in the history books - or at least tell to your grandchildren.
- Book accommodation that suits the needs of all your party, e.g. within budget and near to the activities and clubs.
- Determine drink and club admission prices before you make your choice - some of the more established resorts can often make heavy charges for these.
- Arrange a place to meet in case you get split up at night and make sure that you all have the accommodation details and enough money to get a taxi home.
- If you leave the group, tell one of the girls where you are going and make arrangements with your room mate/s about where to leave the key if you plan to return at different times.
The Cost of Your Hen Night
Make sure you establish your hen party weekend costs before booking anything. Unfortunately, not all the hens may make it on the actual night which leaves the rest of the group to carry the extra costs.
To help prevent this, try to check that everyone is going to be free for the specific date chosen before booking anything and ask for a small deposit from each of the Hens in advance to go towards things such as Transport, food, entertainment, outfits and presents etc.
What Can I Wear?
Obviously this depends what you are planning, but be prepared to be jumping around those dance-floors dressed in a silly costume that just yell out 'Hen Party!'
Trussed up veil's, L-plates and condoms are all very popular on these occasions too.
Alternatively, if none of your hens fancy dressing up as a naughty nurse or a 60's throwback, why not buy yourself a steamy new outfit to grab the boys' attention? You are on a hen party after all.
Hen Night Venues
Try to find somewhere where your party of hens will feel most comfortable, affordable and not too far away from your accommodation. It's no good going to an all night rave if half of your hens would rather be doing the waltz!
Try to locate a venue which offers deals for groups and also where you can have your entertainment, e.g. a hunky male stripper!
Transport
Hiring a stretch limo for the hen party evening or during your day is a great and popular idea with all. You could hire it for the whole evening to escort your hens in style or just to arrive at your venue for an eye catching entrance. Remember the more of you there are, the cheaper it works out. It can even cost less than catching many taxis.
Party buses are also popular with Hen Parties and provide you with food, drinks, entertainment and a great party atmosphere.
Accommodation
It's a very good idea to book your Hotel or Guesthouse well in advance if you are planning to stay the night or weekend. Many Hotels in Blackpool get booked up very quickly, especially in the high season.
Always make sure you get written confirmation to ensure you know exactly when you are due in and out, and be aware of the rules stated by the Hotels. The one's we have listed on our website are more than happy to accommodate hen parties, although they will only accept your group if you are well behaved and respect the fact that there may be other guests staying in the Hotel at the same time as your party.
What about gifts!
Although gifts are not really expected by the bride to be on her hen night, it is sometimes fun to give small gifts like a garter or something sentimental to you both.
Joke items such as rude chocolate willies, condoms or kinky handcuffs always go down a storm and make for a hilarious night of banter. |
