Fancy Dress for Hen Parties

By Jennifer Ashe


So the date is set, the dress is ordered, family and friends are getting excited. There is only one thing left to do and that is, organise the hen party. Whether you love them or loath them a hen party is traditional. They can take whatever format you wish, from a quiet night in with the girls and a few bottles of wine to a full scale, wild weekend away.

There are so many things to consider when organising a wedding that the hen party can be forgotten. That is where an efficient brides maid comes into her own. Someone who will take control of the arrangements and makes sure the night goes smoothly. In the following paragraphs I will offer some tips and advice on getting dressed up for the night of celebrations.

Treating a hen night as just another evening with the girls is not an option. It is an excuse to get dressed up in gear that you would not normally consider. it also sets the "tone" for the evening. When a group of girls dress as "naught cowboys" you can be sure it will not be a quiet night it. The fancy dress costumes add excitement and fun to the evenings proceedings.

Below I have some suggestions for themes that you might like to consider for a hen party

Pimps and Prostitutes Perhaps a theme that is not appropriate for quieter hen parties it is perfect for larger groups intent on having a fun filled night. For the pimps plenty of gold is what is required. Think long chains, rings and tattoos. These can all be purchased at online party shops and do not cost a fortune. For the girls black eye-liner and fishnet stockings should be the starting point, then it is just a matter of letting your imagination run wild.

T- Shirts Some brides to be just don't want any fuss and the attention that dressing up will attract but still want to be recognised as a group. In this case T-shirts are perfect. The big advantage of going down the t-shirt route is that you can get them customised with anything you want. There are plenty of suppliers who will put pictures and the wording of your choice on the t-shirts.

1970's Theme Even if you do not remember the 70's this is a fantastic theme for a hen party. Just think ABBA, and glam rock. Platform shoes, jump suits and shiny jackets should be on everyone's costume list. You could also go down the flower power route with beads and long wigs. The choice is yours but whatever you decide on it is sure to be great fun.

Costumes and games are only one element of a hen party, there are plenty more to consider, such as venue, guest list and budget. For a really successful hen party all elements must compliment each other. There is no point going to an upmarket restaurant if the hen party is large and dressed for a night of drinking and clubbing. Remember if you want a hen party for a select few it can be organised for an alternative date but for the main event you must take into consideration older friends and family who may prefer a quieter evening.

Some Brides to be may not be at all comfortable with elements of a hen party, particularly if they are a little shy. They may feel under pressure to stick to a certain format and as a result the night out will be more of a chore rather than a pleasure. That is not how the night should be remembered. If you are organising a hen party make sure the Bride to Be will be comfortable with the arrangements. This does not mean the hen party will be no fun it just means the the important guest will have a night she will remember, for all the right reasons !!!!
