How to Select Hens Party Themes
In the United States, a hens party is commonly referred to as a bachelorette party. If you're in charge of planning the festivities, it's your job to pick the location, decorations and activities that will ensure the bride-to-be has a good time. To throw an amazing party that won't soon be forgotten, you will first need to take the right steps in selecting the perfect theme.
- Think about the bride-to-be and consider her likes and dislikes. The last thing that you'll want to do is select a theme that the guest of honor won't enjoy. Think about what type of hen parties you've been to in the past and if she has expressed a preference for a certain theme. Look at her personality. If she's a quiet person who hates loud or rowdy parties, you may want to consider a relaxing, spa theme as opposed to a night on the town.
- Consider what your local area has to offer. If you've narrowed down theme ideas, decide if you can pull it off where you live in. If you are located in a small town that's far from a city, but select a hens party with a theme that centers around visiting local dance clubs, your choices of where to go may be severely limited.
- Take your guests into consideration. While it's true that the bride is your primary concern, you'll still want to take a look at the guest list to ensure that the nights activities are appropriate for all. If the bride's grandmother and juvenile sister are invited, you may want to think twice about choosing a raunchy or overly wild party theme.
- Ask the bachelorette if you can't come up with a theme on your own. There's a good chance that she'll appreciate your efforts at ensuring that she has a good time over her need for a big surprise. This way you won't risk spending money only to have a disappointed hen, or bride-to-be, on your hands.
