Hen Party Surprise

[Joan]

My very good friend is having a hen party in a local hall. As we have been friends since childhood I would love to arrange a surprise of some sort for her just to mark the occasion and make it more memorable. She would not enjoy the likes of a Kiss-o-gram or Strip-o-gram, does anyone have any ideas?

a couple of suggestions for you. all of you will have different memories of the bride to be, why not get all the guests to write a little memory and maybe dig out a few old photographs and put them together in a scrap book for her to look back at. remember and leave the last few pages blank so that she can add photos of the hen night on to the end so she has an everlasting memory of her 'nights out with the girls' Another one would be decorating the hall with photographs (blown up to poster size) supplied by all her friends and hopefully family (family ones tend to be good as they have all the funny child hood days) Hope this helps, and enjoy the day.

Are there any friends she has lost contact with from school or old workplaces you could contact (via friends reunited) and invite? Also, are there any celebrity singers/actors/sportsmen that she really likes? You could write to their fan club and ask for a personal signed photo or card. We did what buttons suggested for a couple of parties and they loved the photos and messages. Have a great time.

Many years ago I went to a wedding where the bride's parents had organised for a clown!!! to come out at midnight and do a personalised act. It was very sweet. If not too expensive you could try something like a magician, or clown, or similar, with a brief to do something dedicated to the bride.

Buttons suggestion is a great one. Also a "roasting" might be fun.

Hi there, Have you considered hiring a virtual spa team to bring a spa party to you at the local hall? Take a look at http://www.wellbeing2you.com They do spa parties, home spas & one to ones. It's fantastic fun, everyone gets to be pampered and is something different to the usual stripper! They are listed as hot new things in Wedding Ideas Mag. Good luck.
