Hen Nights, Have We Evolved in Our Thoughts and Requirements or Is There Still Room for Traditions?
Hen nights are still as popular as ever, recent statistics and reviews show that the industry is now worth over £275m a year, but are they evolving into a more memorable occasion...
? Is there still a place for Hen night traditions or are they becoming outdated and tacky? Its no secret that if you wander around Blackpool, Bristol, Brighton or somewhere similar you will come across a large group of girls having fun on their friends hen night traditionally seen as the last night of freedom which is less accurate now as the Hen night doesn't seem to happen the night before the wedding anymore.
With today's disposable income levels, like the boys stag nights, it would seem an increased amount of women are looking for more of an experience, as opposed to a drunken night.
This could be down to a few reasons, maybe the bride to be already has a very active social life and wants to do something a bit different, or maybe its down to the fact she would like to remember what she did and not wake up with lets face it, less money, a broken high heel and a very sore head.
More and more women are turning their back on the UK and travelling away for a long weekend.
Figures from 2012 show that the average spend on the hen night was around £110, we can all imagine where most of that went...
Where has this phenomenon come from? Media and TV have contributed to this increasingly large industry, showing today's modern hen that this is how their hen night should be.
Hen nights vary from person to person, one girl's perfect hen night could quite easily be another girls interpretation of hell.
This completely depends on taste, the group of girls, the girl organising the night and obviously budget.
The more Brides I speak to, the more it seems old traditions of 'L plates', male strippers etc are a time of the past.
Yes, most if not all Hen nights will involve alcohol and laughing, that seems a given but the old traditions come across as 'cringe worthy' which nicely makes way for the more memorable, classier, European city stay which again the brides to be are pushed towards due to the inflation of drink prices in the UK and the cheap deals the travel companies can afford to offer / promote.
Its more likely to be wild if a friend is organising it than if the bride to be organises it herself...
but whether its a pamper day at a spa, a goddess themed night, classy meal or as previously mentioned the group drunken night out, they will all involve some form of specific personalised clothing.
As printing is so diverse and personal, is this one tradition that sticking around?
