Hen Night for my Cousin

Hi Guys it is Monday !!
Grant Thompson here again from www.popthefizz.co.uk and now the new and exciting www.destinationbarcrawl.co.uk I will come back to this later.

What a weekend!!!
I have arranged a lot of Hen Nights in my time probably in the thousands but at the weekend I was Serious Nervous. I put together a weekend in Leeds for my Cousins Hen Party. Pressure !! Even though you I have arranged Stag and Hen nights for my friends before I doubled, tripled and quadrupled check every little details of the weekend. Funnily enough in the end it went amazingly well and to be honest is common trend for the way hen nights have been booking over the last 8-12 months.

I thought I would run you through what she booked so you can have a look at a few things in leeds but also get an idea of the structure of a typical hen weekend.

Leeds, well what a city,  The last time I was there we booked out the www.clubclassbus.com for the night and partied till the cows came home but this was my cousins weekend and she is a little, I am pleased to say more refined than me, even though looking at the photos and her dress code your mind may deceived.

As most Hen Parties will tell you, as well as having a great time it is still important to get the Hen dressed up in things she might not normally wear.
The trade mark sash, the crazy head wear and the veil. I was really pleased to see Hen Accessories, always put a smile on your face and gets the hen party in the mood to party.

 
The ladies came from the whole of the uk  and desending onto leeds on Friday Night with hen in toe, Pop the Fizz got them a cracking deal at +Marriott, a two night stay. The benefit of the Marriot Leeds is definitely the Spa facilities. Check out the hotel Leeds Marriot 

What is good about the Marriot !!

• Great central Leeds location so you can wobble home after one to many.
• Lovely big rooms, great for two girls to share with enough space for your clothes.
  This is actually before the weekend had started just a perfect chance for a mother to get a bit of shut eye before she brings back her youth and hits the tiles!!


• It has spa facilities so the hen party over the weekend can enjoy a spa, steam room sauna and use of the pool. I always fine with a hangover a nice dip in the pool or a steam room helps.  
• It is a reputable hotel chain, so the fear of not know where you are going or what is going to be like is dispelled straight away.

All this helps people, especially hen nights to feel comfortable and really let themselves go on a Hen night, which is what it is all about.

So Friday Night we got them booked into Leeds Revolution Bar for Cocktail Making Master Class

Hen Party love it!!!!    Interaction with cocktails always help on the first night.

 

Then, after learning about cocktails , mixing, making and drinking cocktails the whole Hen night wobbled through town to be greeted and looked after by +Oceana, Leeds  

I did not get any more details after that haha.

 

Saturday was all about recovery, spa day in the hotel spa and visit to Leeds Harvey Nics for a glass of  champagne and a little shopping.

The Saturday Afternoon was a hen Weekend favourite. The Dancing Class.

The Ladies on the Hen chose Beyoncé style  " All the Single Ladies "

This is a perfect hen Activity not just for leeds but we do it through the whole of the country. It is a great options as once you have learnt this dance routine you can replay the show on your wedding day before or after the first dance. It will be a giggle and something different form the normal on +WeddingTrendy UK +Wedding Ideas +Brides Magazine  @bridesupnorth I will video it for you it will be priceless.

This is a 2 hour activity and great fun.

 

Once the dancing had finished we got the ladies booked into a Nightclub so they had a guest list sorted for the end of the night. Tiger Tiger Leeds @

 

The positive of this style of hen nights booking are below.

• Booked a decent hotel so every one is happy as soon as they arrive and when they get back on an evening after a couple of sherberts.
• Book an activity for the Friday and the Saturday. This gives people a focus and allows them to look forward to something other than drinking haha
• Book a guest list for both nights. Not every one might take you up on this but it give the groups an extra option if they want to carry the party on. This is important if you have a large group of ages so if people want to go back early they can other can
• Not to complicated but also gives you scope to add the more personal details of your time together as a hen night.
• This hen night played games like mr and mrs and the wedding balloon Game, More hen night games follow with the link http://really.uktv.co.uk/love-and-marriage/article/top-ten-hen-party-games/
• When through an agent so it allowed people to pay independently and the company to keep track of things.
• Found a central location that has easy access from all areas

And finally always make sure you get a photo opportunity with the future mother in law that s if she has been invited haha
