The Hen (the bride to be)
The hen ( the bride to be ) usually has her hen weekend 2 - 4 weeks before the big wedding day, and it usually consists of the hen and her hen's going away for a weekend of fun and celebrations. The hen herself usually allows the maid of honour or her best friend to organise the hen celebrations on her behalf, relieving the stress that comes along with preparing for a hen weekend.
The hen usually takes part in the discussions leading up to the hen party with the rest of the group to decide about the key parts of the hen weekend. Including the hotel choice, the activities, the club and bars, the accessories and fancy dress.
The hen usually just overlooks the key decisions for the hen party weekend and leaves the organising stress to the other members of the hen party group. The initial hen preparations for the hen weekend begin at least 4 weeks before the event itself. The hen and the group of hens decide the best activities to take part in on their weekend away together and activities that suit the group are usually the best bet.
The hen night
The hen night itself is not only a celebration of the bride to be's party weekend but also of the hard work and effort put in to pull together the weekend in the four weeks prior to the event.
The hen night, is commonly known as the smaller of the celebrations and consist of a single night on the town and activities during the day either on the Friday or Saturday. More common nowadays is to make a weekend of it.
The hen night is a big send off party weekend away where the hen and her closest friends can do fun, exhilarating activities during the day and party the night away on the town at nights.
The hen night is a fun relaxed, well organised weekend which should run very smoothly should the necessary preparation be put in before hand.
Many people going on their hen night use an agent or specialist hen night planner that has years of experience pulling these events off as they can be very tricky to organise as there are a lot of different aspects to consider.
The Hen Party
The term hen party is used to consider either a hen night or hen weekend and generally just relates to the group of hen's having a celebratory weekend. The hen party is the big event before the wedding to celebrate a final night on the town with the girls before the big day. The hen party consists of a decent hotel, fantastic activities, and great fancy dress, other things to consider might be transport between activities, hen party accessories and hen party dares for the weekend.
The hen party usually takes place outside the bride to be's home town or city and usually involves a little travelling, the reason for this is perhaps being in a new city or somewhere different makes the hen weekend more memorable and also gives it a get away holiday feel.
Popular Hen Night locations

The Hens
The hens are responsible for pulling off what hopes to be a brilliant flawless weekend, and to pull it off many weeks preparation will have to take place usually at least 2 months before the event with the event being booked up at least one month before. The hens usually pass this responsibility to a hen party company or stag and hen company who will organise everything for you for and make sure the weekend goes without a hitch, which means the hens can all have a fantastic time away and no member of the group is stressing at making sure everything is going correctly and to time.
The hens should consider some fantastic fancy dress for the weekend and great hen party accessories, another popular favourite is the hen t shirt that the whole group can get and be identical on the night with their names on the backs.
