Celebrate Your Last Single Night With Hen and Stag Parties

Before committing to your spouse and losing your freedom and single status, there has been a long tradition of throwing a party and celebrating your last night of freedom with your closest bunch of friends. These are usually held the night before the big day, hours before taking the oath. Traditionally such parties were hosted by the bachelors before entering the marriage, but soon the women also followed suit and threw these parties to have fun before getting hitched.

The party thrown by the women and the bride-to-be is called a bachelorette party, hen party, or hen night. This is a girl’s night out by the bride to be with her closest bunch of friends and bridesmaids. These parties were originally held to honor the soon to be bride and were usually of the style and norm common to society. But with time, this concept has also evolved and undergone changes. Many different kinds and themes are selected; depending upon what the organizers think will best please their guest of honor and other guests.

Now, these parties in the honor of the bride-to-be often involve displays of sexual freedom, such as trading and revealing intimate details and secrets of their bedroom, getting drunk, and usually enjoying the hired male strippers. This occasion provides comfortable opportunities for participants to talk or to give intimate advice to the bride in the making. Hen parties can be held at hostess’ homes, or at public venues like restaurants, clubs, or bars. To make this party more fun and interesting, there are many hen night accessories available like edible willies, head gear, bunny ears, wands, jelly wellies, drinking games and special costumes like air hostess dresses, nurse costumes, etc.

For the guys and the groom-to-be, these parties are known as Bachelor’s Party, Stag party, stag night or stag do. They usually involve going to strip clubs, hiring strippers, and pranks at the expense of the groom. These parties are usually notorious and many can spot topless waitresses and lap dancers at such to-dos.

Stag parties are generally held and hosted by the best friend or the best man and the stag activities are traditionally kept secret from the groom. These parties often witness humiliating the bridegroom in a light and fun manner. These often include tying the groom naked to a pole, or dressing him up in female attire or in a bikini and making him drink a massive amount of alcohol!

Now there is also a tame version of such parties called the Stag and Doe parties, which are attended by both the bride and the groom and their friends. Hence an amazing celebration can be planned in the most extraordinary fashion to make the entire experience unforgettable.
