Accessorise your hen weekend

Mon, 04 Jan 2010 06:51:25 -0500

Before a girl’s big day, she has to have a big night out. The traditional hen night involves the bride-to-be getting together her female friends and relations for an evening of alcohol-induced girly chats and fooling around. It is perfectly acceptable, even expected, for girls and normally-mature ladies to behave unlike they normally would as they leave their reserve at home for this one big night out. If the groups jovial behaviour does not ensure they stand out from the crowd it is also traditional to head out into the town of choice dressed with an element of coordination, while the bride-to-be has some extra-special featured to distinguish her from her fellow hens. The favourite accessory to draw attention to the Hen has to be ‘L’ Plates, from fluffy to flashing. While for the rest of the party some sort of a head wear is a must, with devil horns, bunny ears or tiaras among the most common choices. For girls that an accessory-covered outfit is not enough they can do one better and wear an entire costume. To give you just a few examples, you can go as a female firefighter, a pink fairy or a naughty French maid. **End Summary** Topics: Hen stuff]]> hen accessories]]> hen party]]> hen weekends]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Hen Stuff have all the hen party accessories and costumes that you could need for a hen night, while Hen Heaven can help organise the most memorable of hen weekends.

Girls just want to have fun in Bournemouth

Mon, 14 Dec 2009 10:22:38 -0500

One of the most popular destinations in England for hen nights and weekend is Bournemouth on the south coast in the county of Dorset. Girls just want to have fun, or so the song goes, and Bournemouth is the place to have lot and lots of fun, but if you need any convincing read on for just a snippet of what is on offer at this coastal location. Bournemouth boasts a fine stretch of sandy beach, which can’t be beaten without adding some serious miles on your trip as you head into the deepest west country and these coastal beach towns come up short with what else they have to offer. Sunbathing is all well and good, but as we know in England, this is not an activity that be planned for, while a pier and arcades are not likely to keep a bunch of over-excited girls happy for too long. So it is lucky that Bournemouth offers so much to do during the daytime hours, the only problem is deciding what you and the girls are going to include. **End Summary** Topics: Bournemouth hen weekend]]> hen parties]]> bournemouth hens]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Hen Heaven are the experts in Bournemouth hen weekends They also offer fantastic hen parties throughout the UK and Europe.

Paintballing: The thrill of hunting a stag

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 04:35:13 -0500

Paintballing has become a widely acceptable and much-enjoyed activity that combines entertainment with the adrenaline-filled rush of warfare. It was devised in American almost 35 years ago by a trio of men that wanted to recapture the thrill of hunting a buffalo, but now the victim of choice is a stag – not the antlered type, but a groom-in-waiting. Paintballing has become one of the first choice events for stag parties as it combines excitement, drama, team-work and most of all a memorable experience to provide much discussion over the beers that will be drunk in the evening and long into the future. The common setting is in rural woodland, which is littered with authentic props from tanks to aeroplanes, capturing the scenario of troops landing in an unknown location with an important mission to accomplish as if their lives depended on it. The players are kitted out in camouflaged gear and armed with paintball guns, grenades and plenty of spare ammo. They devise a strategy with their platoon and then take on the enemy with force, guile and instinct. **End Summary** Topics: stag party]]> stag weekend]]> nottingham]]> paintballing]]> ]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> The Stag Company can organise a Nottingham Stag Weekend to include this paintball experience , while paintballing is on offer at all other major stag do destinations in the UK and Europe.

Christmas Parties With a Difference

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 10:24:28 -0500

Corporate Christmas parties are frustratingly restricted with an unimaginatively schedule of crackers, buffet food, cheesy disco followed by some regrettable drunken behaviour. This are admittedly fun and an ideal way to get even the most stuffy of offices open and relaxed, but after a few years they can become monotonous and treated with dread rather than the excitement they should warrant. So, it is time to reinvent the Christmas party and inject some imagination and surprise into the end of year party, so that the office will have something to discuss next year other than who was snogging who under the mistletoe. Merry Muddy Christmas in Brighton This is a shared Christmas party with a massive difference "�"there is no party hats, mince pies or Wham in sight as this activity takes places in the great outdoors in the Sussex countryside. Revel in the madness of quad biking and mud buggies before testing your shooting skills with archery, air rifles and laser clay shooting on offer. Admittedly this party has no relevance to Christmas, we just think you should take advantage of the time of year as an excuse to do something wild and wonderful. **End Summary** Topics: Brighton]]> Edinburgh]]> Christmas Parties]]> Party]]> Xmas]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> For these out of the ordinary events and for the more traditional of Christmas party Nights , contact Christmas Party Nights.

Enjoy the Craic of a Stag Do in Dublin

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 05:58:53 -0500

Dublin is one of the most popular destinations for travelling stag parties thanks to its close proximity to the British mainland, vibrant and cultural nightlife and its legendary Craic. The Irish capital can be reached in an hour from England"��s main airports, while it can also be accessed by a short ferry ride from Holyhead in Wales. This cuts down the travelling expenses in comparison to trips to mainland Europe, but it still presents the chance for stags to have their party somewhere new. So in what way is a Dublin stag-do different from other cities in the UK? Well, it has a fantastic vibe that has to be experienced to be understood and the atmosphere in the city centre is welcoming at all times of the day and night "�" something that cannot always be guaranteed on the other side of the Irish Sea. It is easy to while away the hours in some of Dublin"��s fantastic pubs, especially those with live music from the traditional sounds of Ireland to modern rock for which Ireland has such a rich heritage. **End Summary** Topics: Dublin]]> stag weekend]]> stag night]]> stag party]]> stag-do]]> trip]]> party]]> Ireland]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> UK Stag Weekends are the experts in UK Stag Weekends.
