3 “Toxic” myths you believe about Bachelorette Parties
It’s myth-bustin’ time, my friend! Let’s look at 2 very common and very unhelpful myths about hen party planning.
Using ‘How to Hen’ to defeat bachelorette party planning stress
Planning a Hen (Bachelorette) Party is a stressful business. Sure, you can go to an agency to do it all for you, but that can get expensive and it also removes that element of love that comes with putting something awesome together for your best friend. I noticed that there wasn’t a platform that existed purely to help guide and inspire bridesmaids (and bridesmen) to plan a kick-ass Bachelorette weekend, without doing it for them. So that’s why I built www.howtohen.com.
Here are 3 ways it can help you and dramatically reduce your stress levels.
30+ White Hen Party outfits for every type of Bride
Honestly the whole idea and tradition around having
to wear white on your wedding day is an outdated and archaic symbol of the
patriarchy. HOWEVER, sometimes a gal just wants to wear a pretty white dress
because she wants to. How to Hen (meaning me…) is totally on board
with that.
Wearing white on your Hen (Bachelorette) weekend is an
indication of this and so I thought I would celebrate this lovely freedom of
choice by showing you my favourite white looks for your other special
day/night/weekend/ whatever, no matter what kind of Bride you are.
The Comeback of the DIY ‘Home’ Hen Weekend
While I totally understand the appeal of a massive holiday with your best crew to celebrate your upcoming nuptials, I am also a big advocate of the scaled down, local (ish), DIY Hen weekend. Here’s why.
9 Hen (Bachelorette) Party Icebreaker Games for Any Crowd
Icebreakers may seem like a cringey thing that only happen at awkward office workshops and summer camps. However, don’t underestimate the importance of breaking the ice in a room full of people who have never met each other, like at a hen party.
If your Bride to be (B2B) has invited only her close friends who all hang out together normally anyway, then no worries, you don’t need to break the ice. However, most Hen weekend’s are made up of childhood friends, work friends and miscellaneous family members. There’s usually a range of ages and interests and the last thing you want is for anyone to feel like they don’t belong, so some bachelorette icebreakers are a great way to kick start the bonding.
