On every thread about hen dos the vast majority of posters say how they hate 'traditiinal' hen dos. I realise mn isn't necessarily representative if el, but just wondering how so few mners can like what seems to be the norm.is anyone willing to say they enjoy avoid "l plates" hen do?

I had a whole willy themed hen do, everyone wore willy head boppers and sashes and we had a naked butler. My gran baked a big flesh coloured willy cake. I loved it all. So I guess I am not the usual mumsnet type then?!

TSC I don't suppose you smoke do you? I haven't for years but would be prepared to in order to escape the jollity. We'd find a great alternative venue from the smokers outside

I don't understand the willy theme for a hen night

have none of you seen willies before ?

Why does a willy signify impending marriage ?

That symbolism could work I suppose if none of us were ever shagging our menfolk, nor ever clapped eyes on male appendages before we married 'em

Otherwise, it just doesn't make sense

or perhaps the men should wear plastic vaginas on their head on the stag ? Make it all equal-like.

I love the big nights out but then I also like spa days/activities (easily pleased!) don't mind L plates/daft games but wouldn't be keen on a stripper, think it would be too cringeworthy.

For mine the only willies that made an appearance were the small ones lovingly hand-stitched on to my veil for the night out by friend who is a dressmaker who also pointed out (in strong scouse accent) "Hope you like the willies, I've done some flowers coming off the top of them for the jizz!" One of my favourite quotes of that weekend, possibly ever.

I once saw about six miserable looking women in a club in Birmingham. They were wearing pink satin jackets with their nick names on the back. They were sitting at a table looking as if they were at a wake.
It was truly hilarious. Enforced fun and frolics without the fun and frolics Grin

Dunno AF I just like willies. I think we looked great with our purple glittery willy boppers.

cunexttuesonline · 22/04/2013 14:22

I should add that we didn't even go out wearing them, it was a house party. And it was a really good laugh.

It's kinda reedickulous though when you think about it logically, though

I like willies too. I don't need to wear one on my head to prove it though Smile

AnyFucker · 22/04/2013 14:23

too many "thoughs" in that last post

RedlipsAndSlippers · 22/04/2013 14:26

I went to a hen weekend recently, including fancy dress (not willy themed) and a cocktail class, at a spa hotel. Had a brilliant time, although I was the only sober one being pregnant :) Think strippers would have freaked me out though, I just don't feel the need to see that on a stranger!

cunexttuesonline · 22/04/2013 14:27

Yes it is a bit reedickulous, and we were a right bunch of dickheads. I even had willy paper plates for our sandwiches. It's amazing the amount of penis paraphernalia that is available!!

squoosh · 22/04/2013 14:28

There is definitely a gap in the market for an 'alternative' male stripper. I've never met anyone who fancies orange, walnut shaped men, but lots who fancy athletic/indie/beardy various other types.

I like sashes, tiaras etc for my own I want a veil thingy, I dunno I think they make good photos,
And I've noticed on fancy dress night outs people are more relaxed and the atmosphere is more cheery. I think on dressy nights out people are more focused on how they look and a bit more uptight.
Not a huge stripper fan though, I've said I don't mind strip clubs but private dance no, I think its disrespectful tbh.

But I'm mid 20's so maybe its an age thing?

Chandon · 22/04/2013 14:45

Ehm, OP, the norm? Really?

Depends what sort of people you hang out with, lots of my friends did not have hen do's, most consider it a bit common.

I think.

ChaoticTranquility · 22/04/2013 14:46

There are better places to put willies than on your head Wink

My cousin had a meal followed by drinks and dancing for her hen night. People could either do one or both. It's probably what I would do if I ever got married. I couldn't be doing with l plates/willies/fancy dress although shots would be fine.

ChaoticTranquility · 22/04/2013 14:48

I wouldn't have a stripper either.

fluffyraggies · 22/04/2013 15:05

AF - i'm a bit inclined to over think as well sometimes Wink

and it strikes me that it's all a bit fertility rights'ish ..... the willies and stuff, y'know?

Humanity really hasn't come far from the cave when you start thinking about these things. I think it when i see blokes chanting at football matches ..... tribal stuff.

Anyway, as you were ....

ComposHat · 22/04/2013 15:07

I wandered past three glittery stetson and L plate type hen dos in Edinburgh the other weekend qnd Not ome of yhem yelled 'get your knob out'at me.

Either standard s are slipping or I have lost my touch

StealthOfficialCrispTester · 22/04/2013 15:11

But chandon, that is the first thing everyone on these threads says "oh I didn't have a traditional veil/l plates/stripper one". That's why I think its the norm!

Yeah! We can have matching tops with 'Lush Henz' or something similar.
