We’ve all seen a conventional hen party; pink sachets and L-plates galore. At UKGirlThing we are always trying to find ways to think outside the box, fundamentally being the best Weekend of their lives. Okay slight exaggeration but please note this is the bride to be’s final celebration as a singleton before she walks down the aisle, so it has to be one to remember…. and of course ladies it’s another excuse to have a beverage or few!

Research is key; knowing what your hen wants to do and what is available is key so you can mould the ultimate weekend for her. I know a good girlfriend of mine who is obsessed with cats, nothing could be more suiting to her than a visit to the Cat Café in London where you wine and dine amongst a clowder of kitty’s! From quirky restaurants to personalised décor there is always a way to push the boat out and make your hen feel extra special.

Luckily with our hen weekend activities and packages, we offer a truly awesome variety of events. Whether the bride is a Lara Croft, Legally Blonde or Ugly Betty our party planners can help satisfy your needs and shape the perfect weekend getaway.

There is nothing more exciting than when reality exceeds expectations, leaving you pleasantly surprised. Its okay to tell a few white lies, I’m not saying do a Pinocchio, but a few fibs for the good of the bride are okay. Tell her she’s staying in a Bronze Hotel when really you’ve gone all out with a Gold hotel with leisure. Give her a surprise hotel upgrade or add some additional activities that she will be oblivious to.

You really don’t have to break your wallet to surprise your bride to be. Why not create a scrap book filled with photos, notes and keep sakes to make her smile. Decorate her hotel room with personalised bunting or plan a cute picnic, there are so many ways to add a personal touch.

Bottom line is you’re only restricted by your own imagination. Be anything but predictable and plan something a little different so your hen will be left on an absolute high!
