Hens' Nights or Bachelorette Parties

Don't worry if silly costumes and dancing on tables isn't your style - your hens' night or bachelorette party doesn't have to be an embarrassing affair involving too much alcohol!  These days, many brides are choosing hens' events such as a fun day of shopping followed by cocktails and dinner at an elegant restaurant.

A day at the races

Don your fascinator and your feathers, and have fun with your friends with a day at the races.  Whether you socialise or become a social liability anything goes when you and the girls are footloose and fancy free at the races!

Shopping spree

If you love to shop ‘til you drop, then picture sipping champagne with strawberries as a chauffeur drives you and the girls to your city's best shopping secrets.  Hunt for the best bargains and then top it all off with lunch at a swanky hotel.

Wine tours

An organised wine tour means you simply jump on the coach, sit back and relax as you sample some local wines and enjoy a picturesque tour through the countryside.

House boat

Hire a house boat and putt along enjoying the scenery.  Drop anchor to swim, fish or simply relax with a good book. 

Pampering party

Luxuriate with your best girlfriends before your big day by holding a primp and pamper party.  Treat your friends to a day at a five-star spa, or get together with your best spa gear, bring some nail polish and don a facemask. You could even hire a beauty consultant to provide facials, foot massages and manicures.  Oh, and don't forget to pop some bubbly! 

Other inspirations

Gather your girlfriends for high tea at a top-class hotel, and - if you have the funds - splurge with a sleepover in five-star style.  If outdoor activities are more your style, consider horse riding, go karting or even paintball.  For something really unique, host a tarot reading evening.
