I’ve been really excited
about my Hen Party since we got engaged. I’ve only been to two other Hen Parties; one was a family friend
and the other was for one of my best friends Rachael (you can read her blog here,
and see some marriage tips she gave us in my post for Hitched.ie). Rachael’s Hen Party was so much fun; cocktails,
hot tub, games, horse riding, pampering, dinner, more cocktails, dancing and
lots of sore heads by the end of the weekend! My Hen Party is particularly exciting for me as we’ve moved away from a lot of our friends so girlie nights out with my bestfriends don’t happen as often as they used too.
I was confident that my Bridesmaids would come up with a good plan for the Hen Party, and they haven’t
let me down!

At the end of March a group
of lovely ladies will be joining me as we head to Dublin, for a cocktail making
class at the Temple Bar Hotel, dinner and a night out at the Wright Venue for a sort of Sex and the City
themed Hen Party. I’ve heard really good
things about the Wright Venue so I’m really looking forward dancing the night
away! A lot of what I miss is getting ready together with my friends, (sometimes Jim comes and
sits with me while I do my make-up but it’s not the same) so we’ve booked into
a hotel for some girlie pampering before we go out.

I wanted something chic and
not too stereotypically ‘Hen Party’ so the girls are all going in Little Black Dresses and my
bridesmaids suggested I wear a different colour so I’ve started looking for a dress
but it’s proving almost as difficult as finding a wedding dress!!
My favourites so far are
below (Spring/floral theme).
We're going to put together some goodie bags for all the guests which I'm very excited about and I'm going to make some badges/rosettes on the Sex & The City Theme, possibly from old copies of Elle & Vogue - we'll see how that goes...
