PARTY BAGS FOR HEN PARTIES
As the organiser you may also want to consider the use of cello bags in the preparation of hen party kits / goodie bags. So what are hen party goodie bags and what should you include in them?
From past experience I recommend that if you are organising a hen party you purchase all the traditional paraphenalia associated with the night such as pink wigs, bottom pinchers and flashing sashes. If you leave it up to individuals some will get “dressed up” and others won’t which is a situation you want to avoid. Is is best to have everyone “singing off the same hymn sheet” and a sense of unity about the evening. By asking everyone to contribute to a kitty and purchasing all the
hen gear in bulk you can ensure all the hens are “appropriately” dressed.
You can also use the process of handing out the gear as an “ice breaker” game or activity. Perhaps some of the hens do not know each other very well or are a little shy. To help inject a bit of fun into the process why not wrap each item in a cello party bag with a message included. For example wrap up a an inflatable man with the message / dare ” give to the hen in most need of a man” That way someone has to open the item and then interact with the rest of the guests.
In preparing a selection of gifts and accessories for the hens, turn the process into a fun activity. That way you can be sure people will enter into the fun of the evening as well as been dressed in all the hen party gear. The manner in which the accessories are presented should be thought out carefully as it can be sed to your advatage and an opportunity to get the party started on the right footing.
If you have tried using cello party bags at a hen party or preseting the hens with dress up gear why not post a note on the blog and help other hen party organisers get the most out of the evening.
