Hens Night

April 28th, 2010

So, the next event in my wedding series in my Hens Night. Pretty sure everyone knows what happens at a hens night- lots of fun with the girls!

I would LOVE to hear what you did for your hens night! Go on, tell me…

What it is: Most Friday nights at Mooloolaba you see a hens night. It usually involves a bride dressed up in an awful costume, carrying something resembling male genetalia, and everyone getting rather drunk. My hens night was nothing like that, and I guess it could be considered quite ‘mild’. It was basically just a fun celebration with my close girl-pals. I think traditionally it’s a ‘woman’s last night of freedom’ similar to a buck’s night. I didn’t really want that to be associated with my hens night though, because, well, I was really looking forward to getting married, and definitely didn’t feel like I was getting ‘tied down’!!

Time before wedding: Mine was about 2 weeks before the wedding? Something like that…

Who was invited: Basically all my girl friends from church and Uni and other random places. These girls were all around my age. None of our mothers or family members allowed!

Atmosphere: It was pretty relaxed and fun. A little bit silly, and a little bit embarrasing (well, for me anyway!).

What happened: My friend Mandy organised the night for me, and we went to a jazz club. It was pretty much full of old people- but I like old people, so I was down with that. We all came dressed in 50′s style clothing, and ate from the delish spread Mandy had put out. The girls told the band that was playing that it was my hens night, and so I got dragged up on stage to be serenaded. That was EXTREMEMLY embarrasing, but thankfully there was nothing worse!

It wasn’t a very late night, I was home by maybe 11:30? It was so memorable, and I am so glad that I got to have a night with my friends.
