How to Plan a Classy Hen Party
The stereotypical hen night conjures images of noisy, wild, scantly clad women let loose on the town in a no holds-barred drinking binge. If that does NOT appeal to you as a good night out then the following ideas will help you plan a classy hen night that is every bit as much fun.
Health Spa
Why not start the day with a pampering at a health spa? Go for the full works including sauna, massage, facial treatment, exfoliation and heated pool. Follow that with a relaxed lunch with your hens for good conversation and recounting fun times you’ve had together.
Retail & Coffee
Follow lunch with a little retail therapy; tour the local boutiques and high street shops for some compulsive buying. Stop for coffee along the way and just take your time to enjoy the day and each others company.
Cheese & Wine
A popular classy hen night option is to have a Cheese & Wine evening with close female friends. Choose a wide selection of cheeses from strong to mild tasting and from different countries. You’ll be surprised at the variety of cheeses available at local supermarkets, but if possible also try gourmet cheese shops and delicatessens for something extra special.
Again, do the same with your wine selection and test your guests on the type, vintage and ingredients of the wine. Can they hazard a guess at what country or region the wine is from? What fruits or spices can they identify?
Ask the hens to bring photos from favourite times together and laugh about old times.
Evening Entertainment
Head to a jazz bar or other live music venue for drinks, entertainment and more chat. You can decide to head home or go to a dance club to finish the perfect classy hen night.
