Hens nights...

[MummyCharmzy]

Did you have one? POLL...



What did you do??

Did you enjoy yourself?

When was it.. how long before the wedding?

[oleander]

I had a hens night. :party: I went with the girls out to dinner then for a night on the town doing a bit of bar hopping. We all pitched in and rented an apartment in the city and crashed there overnight. Was a fantastic night:D

[mum2peanut]

I had one about three weeks before my wedding.
We had dinner at a Tepanaki (Sp) bar, and then went out to a bar. And well after all the shots, champers and god knows what else, I chucky chundered :barf: in the sink in the ladies and was home in bed by 10pm. MIL holding my hair back while I vomitted and BM using her hand to get the chunks out of the drain so it would unblock. My mum thought it was very amusing. I actually got asked to leave the premises.:o It was def a night to remember. But I can laugh about it now. The good thing was that I wasn't even hungover the next day, cause I threw up so much and was home so early.

[dreamer80]

Yes I had a hens night.:yes:

I had it the weekend before my wedding.

The girls and the I went to Brazilian Touch a buffet BBQ dinner and show. It was fantastic eveyone enjoyed themselves :D and some had a lot to drink :laughing: but no :barf:The majority of us also didn't go home and stayed the night in the city, next morning got facials and massages then did some pre-wedding/homemoon shopping in the city.

[FourAngelKisses]

So far I'm the only one who didn't............anyone else or am I a loner?

[Tan-mumof3]

Yep, sure did! Mine was 2 weeks before the wedding.
We went to the races during the day all dressed in Red and black, then went to a kareoke chinese resturant for dinner then hit the pubs. It was a great day/night.

[kimbo]

I did, it was one of the best nights out I have ever had. :yes:

It wasn't that we did anything different or unique it was just a really fun night with all of my girlfriends.

We went for dinner at a mexican restaurant and then went out on the town.

My friends had made me a colourful veil so everyone knew it was a hens night.

I had specifically said I don't want it to be obvious I was a hen as I hate being the centre of attention but in hidnsight it was great as everyone was saying congratulations and stuff. (except one person who told me not to do it, it will be a mistake!!!)

Mine was probably 3 to 4 weeks before our wedding.

[Bambaloo]

Yes I had one - You have to!

We went to the races for the day & then went to the Valley & city (well a few of us - most went home after the races) to watch River Fire under the Story Bridge where one of the girls' family had saved a great spot. Her dad also worked at the fire station in the Valley just up the hill from where we were & took us on a tour of the station so that was different - my sis & I got pics donning the (very heavy) fireman's jacket & helmet & sitting in the driver's seat (with our good dresses underneath & our frangipani lays lol). They then got a call out so we had to go (after having a sit down in the recliners in the (big screen) tv room room!).

We then went to a couple of bars, no one wanted to go to the clubs ot go dancing as I seem to be the only one who likes doing that :( ... some weird guy was freaking us out while waiting for my dad to collect my sis & friend and me waiting for dh to collect me so that sort of ruined it ...

Home & in bed before midnight though. I was very pi$$ed at the races as one of my friends asked ifI drank champers & bought a big bottle then said she DIDN't drink it!!! Some guys chatted us up & bought us champers too & did a toast! My mum thought it was so funny & he gave her a kiss! HAHA. I was sober before we hit the bars. Didn't spew either :)

[JATS]

A few weeks before the wedding I went out with some girl friends and DH went out with some mates for a few hours, then all met up at the end of the night and partied some more.:D

And yes I had to wear a novelty veil :o

[Mahjong]

So far I'm the only one who didn't............anyone else or am I a loner?


I didn't have one either :)

[MummyCharmzy]

thanks for the replies :D

Well mine is booked, we are going out to lunch to a nice restuarant in berwick with family and friends (girls only of course)

then back to my place for games and nibblys

then a girly movie and pizza..

before a party bus collects us at 7:45 for a night of bar and club hopping, me and my sis (chief bridesmaid) get a harley ride!! We get VIP entry whereever we go, drink cards etc

We are coming back to my place around 3-3:30am and most people will crash here

The next day is a day of pampering... massages, aromatherapy, facials, pedicures.. hehe etc

I CANT WAIT

and... my sis tells me theres more shes NOT telling me....

:D

[SpecialMumma]

my hens night.. LOL

was SUPPOSED TO BE out to dinner, then onto the town..

Well.. ended up only about 8 ppl turned up.. all older women with teenage kids, or babies who didnt wanna do anything after 7pm.. my matron of honor or best friend didnt even turn up..

I got lugged with my baby sister (which I dont normally mind but COME ON lol)

I had to get up and get all my own drinks, PAY FOR THEM MYSELF, get my own MEAL.. NOONE TALKED TO ME..

then after dinner my baby sister wasnt well so I sat outside in the car with her for 45 minutes before anyone even came out to see where I was!!! NOONE EVEN NOTICED I WAS GONE ............... :crying:

THEN I GOT TAKEN HOME :|

ALL BEFORE 9PM!!

I got home.. and I cried, and cried, and cried and cried. If Id known it was going to be like that I would have just gone out on my own one night and not even bothered..

Oh and I had to send out the invites myself..


Goodluck with your hens night :) lol Im sure it will be fantastic!


ETA: I appologise for that turning into abit of a vent lol

[mummyof5]

Don't worry hun, mine was a dinner at a Korean BBQ joint, WITH MY KIDS! Oh, and my sister's and brother's kids, and my girlfriends kids too...nice, but was kinda hoping for something a bit more exciting, like he got!!

[hellsbells]

My sister (matron of honour), organised it. We went out for dinner at Hogs Breath. Then went "Disco Bowling", which was 10 Pin bowling with great music and alcholic drinks. We had games at the bowling alley, so everyone won a prize my sister had organised, they were a little 'naughty' but nothing really offensive. They gave you a pin, where everyone could sign. Some left when we went on to a bar, which was understandable as they travelled a fair way or didn't drink. I had to wear devils horns, that was a compromise for the novelty veil. Got home about 2am.

It was 2 weeks before the wedding. Hubby had his bucks day/night the week before the wedding.

[chameleon]

No I didn't. I was pregnant anyway so always throwing up and tired. Wouldn't have been much fun!

[Mamaduke]

I did - it was a blast!
We first went out for dinner in Lygon St and because our 'Girls night afloat' was cancelled the night before my hen's night :banghead: my Dad organised for us to go to Crystal T's :laughing: (his friend owns it) at the last minute.
We had such a great time - there were both male and female strippers and we found ourselves applauding the girls moreso than the guys - those girls can work it! :yes:
At one stage I was dragged up and the male stripper said to me, "I'm going to pick you up and spin around"
I replied, "Ok...it's your Workcover claim buddy!"
We then went to Bridie O'Reilly's.
This was about a week or so before the wedding.
Fantastic night - oh my giddy aunt did we laugh...and drink...and laugh...and drink!:laughing:

[Mell]

Yep i sure did have one :yes: We went to a strip club in town, can't remember the name, where we had dinner and the strip show, then we hit the town for the night. It was so much fun, best night ever:D

[A Party of Five]

:no: No as I had a very small wedding.

[julz_06]

Yep I sure did and it was awesome I would love to do it again

I had a mystery bus tour by a company that specialises in hens nights it was awesome then the bus dropped us back in town and we went out and got home as the sun was coming up

[Mummy2Noah]

Yes I did and it was FANTASTIC!!!!

My Sister organised it we strated at my mums there was about 30 girls all up and we played games then we headed out to the clubs around 11pm!!!

The games were fatastic through out the night the girls asked me a series of questions about my hubby and if i answered wrong i had to have a tequilla slammer mind you i got about 5 wrong!! We all had these fluffy pink halos to wear out and my sister had a whistle and when ever she blew it when we were out we had to all jump to the floor :o if you didnt you had to have a slammer!!! Everyone joined in and did it so much fun!!!
There is so much more it was the best night ever!!!:thumbsup:

[bekkyboo]

So far I'm the only one who didn't............anyone else or am I a loner?
I didnt..

I was engaged in married in just outside of a month.

we didnt have an engagement party, hens or bucks nights - or a honeymoon! Oh the joys of being 28wks pg!

[luckymama]

no not one here either :no:

[MummyCharmzy]

my hens night is in a month from yesterday :D:D I can't wait :D

[Areca]

No I really couldn't be bothered with one, much to my best friends' disappointed. They were shattered but I'm just not into the whole drinking thing anymore. I was pregnant anyway so couldn't have.

We did end up going out for dinner...my two besties, one of my bestie's hubby and my DH. A nice quiet dinner that was actually an engagement present from one of my best friends that we hadn't been able to organise due to my m/s.

[tybella]

Mine was a dinner at a beautiful pasta restaurant with my bridal party, my girlfriends, my mum and aunties and cousins and my MIL, SIL and some of our female family friends.

It was just a quiet thing because I was 6 months preg and couldnt party but I really enjoyed myself.

[*Chels*]

Yep,I had one-2 weeks before my wedding.
My BM organised it and I had no idea what was happening.We went on a party cruise which was sooooo fun,and then had a stripper(I have never laughed so hard in my life:laughing: )
Then went clubbing.Finished off the night with Hungry Jacks on the beach LOL.
It was a fantastic night-now I have to return the favour and plan hers!

[punkbaby]

So far I'm the only one who didn't............anyone else or am I a loner?
Nah i didnt have one either :( dh and i have had one night alone since we met LOL and we were in bed at 9pm

[cheekypossum]

What did you do?? I had a pub crawl. We hired a big coach bus....I work at a medical centre so had a medical theme. We had it on a Friday night so all the pubs around here were a little quieter and the pubs got the shock of there lives seeing us all walk in as we did not tell any of them that we were coming.

Did you enjoy yourself? Oh yes, I had the best night of my life.....everyone said it was the best hens night

When was it.. how long before the wedding 1 week before the wedding

[kirstyE]

I had a hens night. My Bm organised for us to start at coffee club for tea in Brisbane city and go clubbing. The same nighy my hubby has his bucks night and went clubbing too .We agreed to stay apart till 11pm and met at a bar at 11. We even went home together. We both dont really drink so I drove home afterwards.
we had it 2 weeks before the wedding.
