Aah, after months of planning it’s finally here! We all love a hen party, when various friends and relatives gather together to celebrate the Bride’s transition into married life! But who will be attending the hen? No matter how well you think you know each girl, this is what you can expect from your bachelorette party…

The Maid of Honour Hen

She’s got the power. She’s planned this night’s every detail. Gift bags and personalised t-shirts for the squad at the ready. She’s gonna get everyone into the spirit and makes sure her best-friend is sent off in style! Someone buy this gal a drink!

The Prim and Proper Hen

Oh she DOES wish you hadn’t got the willy straws out, or the willy whistle necklace out… or... well anything willy related. Maybe she’s an old school friend, or your grandmother… either way she’s not comfortable being in the presence of the male stripper. She’s gonna have to grin and bear it of course, we all love the male strippers.

The Dirty-Minded Hen

Speaking of male strippers, this girl is the natural enemy of the prim and proper hen. She can’t get enough of the phallic novelty gags. Furthermore, she’s man hungry when you hit the club, she’s most certainly already necked half the stag do. You go girl.

The Snap-Chatting Hen

Sometimes known as the Instagram hen, or the Facebook live hen (God help us). That selfie-queen is doing her thing, slaying… of course, she’s uploading the videos of herself looking stunning while the rest of the hens are looking less than presentable. Whatever, we’ll untag when we sober up.

The ‘Too Drunk’ Hen

Where is she? Oh, that’s right… she’s at the bar getting another round of shots. Love her or hate her, she’s here to party. As much as we all hope she won’t throw up before she’s home, casualties happen… Hopefully she doesn’t get too out of control and bother the bride… keep her occupied with these fun hen party drinking accessories!

The Bridezilla

Speaking of which, she’s already a bit on edge. She isn’t supposed to be worrying about anything but she wants to make sure everyone is having a good time, and that the drunk hen hasn’t thrown up in her bag. It’s okay, treat her to some souvenirs and make sure she remembers it as one of the best nights of her life! Bag-vomit aside…

The Mother of the Bride Hen

Her little girl is all grown up and leaving the nest! Okay, she’s been moved out for years, but it still feels fresh. Show this Mother Hen some respect and make sure she has a great night out! Maybe divert her eyes as her little girl has a lap dance, y’know, the usual.

The Crying Hen

Oh dear, of COURSE you’ll meet the one! No need to cry, sweetie. Okay, please stop crying. No really, put down the wine. Have any of you hens got a tissue? NO DON’T TEXT YOUR EX.

The Feisty Hen

Oh god, she’s taking out her earrings… no one’s even sure why she’s mad. Hopefully her rage is directed away from the party, maybe at the stag who’s trying to get a bit too friendly with the bride. We are a little bit entertained, a little bit scared. She’ll probably cool off soon, probably… At least we already have handcuffs if we need them, ey?

The Awkward Hen

Maybe she’s a work colleague, or a relative of the groom, either way, she doesn’t know many people other than the Bride, who is otherwise occupied. She’s gonna make excuses for looking at her phone, or wanting to go to the bathroom alone if you don't help her out. Remember to include EVERY hen at the party – make fast friends, become a strong squad and hit the town. (Hint: Party games are an excellent way to bond!)

What to do:  

Now our usual bag would be to list you some mighty fine hen party accessories, and tell you why you need to purchase them. Today though we’d thought we’d go down a different angle, and instead offer you this random excerpt from a male member of our team on his views of hen party accessories – not that you have to take any notice of him, of course (and why would you anyway, ladies).

“Willies. So much penis. When did it become acceptable for grown and respectable (ish) women to parade around our city centres with giant inflatable genitalia? I can’t really see a bunch of stag parties with a blow-up vagina, though to be honest, they do far worse so I better keep that door closed. I suppose they’re not doing anyone any harm, and only the easily-offended may get bothered, but then they would, hence the name.

When I am sober and commuting to and from work, if I see a hen party I do tend to avoid them. I am not sure what it is, but a part of me envisions getting sucked in – and not in a good way. Though, this may just be wishful thinking. To be honest I avoid most drunken gangs while I still have my work clothes on, and most of it is just down to envy more than anything.

It takes a fair old whack to shock me, and none of your hen party accessories have succeeded in doing this so far. Of course, there are ones that are more vulgar than others, but for your typical British hen party, isn’t that the point these days? If we (we being men) are truly honest, there is something quite flattering about the whole penis obsession; we like that you enjoy the phallic form so much that you choose to don it in any way possible.

Whether you want to wear matching t-shirts, tiaras, wigs, or sashes you do that – some of you are not very pretty, so you may not get another chance to wear a sash (not that we’d say that to your face). Honestly though, from a fairly normal male to a group of raucous hens, you go on doing your pink feather emblazoned, Bacardi-swigging antics, we’re really not judging. And if you want to drink your drinks through a penis-shaped straw all evening, go ahead, our stag parties are surely going to be doing a lot more inexcusables anyway.”
