Any games or quizzes or embarrassing things for bride etc?

the point of a civilised hen is the lack of cheesy games, quizzes and embarrassing things for the bride.

I had a lovely meal in a restaurant, some very good champagne and a night in a hotel with my sister.

No plastic willies involved.

It depends what the bride to be wants - I didnt want any of that and would've felt awkward and embarrassed if my friends organised it.

We had a day of shopping / spa treatment followed by a tapas bar then a cocktail bar -then a cheesy club

Not mine, but my friend's hen night involved:

  • Afternoon drinking champagne and eating cupcakes and snacks at her SIL's house, where we all got back massages
  • Karaoke
  • Pizza

It was possibly one of the best days I have ever had

We went to Milan for the weekend for mine where they don't do hen nights. Had a wonderful time seeing the sights and going out to the bars by the canals. Only one night did I have to do cheesy games and wear plastic willies

A friend had a very civilised hen weekend away in a cottage - there may have been one or two tiny rubber willies, but mostly it was good clean fun One of the nicest things the bridesmaids did was get everyone to nominate a song that reminded them of friend and say why; the bridesmaids collected them all on a CD for the bride and made a little booklet with all our memories in

I absolutely refused to have any cheesey crap at my hen do - but my friends did do a version of Mr & Mrs - but asking mt bloke for answers to some questions - then getting me to guess what he said (was multiple choice). Some were questions about me - and some were about him.

I actually didn't mind it too much - it was quite fun to do. And was only a 15 min part of the hen do. And I got a present for every question i got the right answer for.

We just did it at the dinner table before we got our food.

Mine was very civilised, but then again I was heavily pregnant. We had a nice meal and went to Madame JoJos in Soho, and the worse things that happened was that I had my face thrust into the crotch of a very pretty transvestite (which was strangely amusing at the time) and I was forced to go home in a White Stretch Limo (which was also cool as I was big and huge and very tired at that point - it was a carriage from Heaven as far as I was concerned)

There were no games, no dressing up in daft costumes, no randomly molesting passing men and only mild drunkenness and a small amount of debauchery.

liking the mr and mrs. we could do that in a very low key way whist sitting around having afternoon tea....

any more?

Mine took place not only in the same country in which I lived but ... in the same city!
No passports required.

Mine was very civilised, Sunday lunch at Veeraswamy.
