Ok chicks let’s be honest. These girls will be your rocks, right hand women, a shoulder to cry on and some that will get you home safe the night of your hen party after one to many cocktails. Not only will they be your crew on the hen party but they’ll also be your bridesmaids.

There’s no real formula for the perfect group of friends, the ideal hen party group or even bridal party but I’m sure your friends, even as disfunctional as they can be at times will be the 5 types of bridesmaids you’ll need.

Planner Chick

I don’t even need to write that much and you already know which one of your friends is the ultimate planner. She’s that girl that you have actually said she should have her own event planning company. She’ll be your go to girl for organising an unforgettable hen party weekend, be able to advise you on selecting items for the wedding and she’ll make sure everything that is involved in getting married goes off with a hitch.

This friend is often seen with a bluetooth device in her ear and holding a clip board that also has a phone on it. She’s on par with Monica from friends but we love her because she has your best interests at heart.

Funny Chick

Oh the funny chick will be needed. She’s that girl who will accidentally or purposely get you back in the room, calm you down or cool your mini-meltdown. She knows how to break a tense atmosphere with a joke, funny story or even just have a brain fart that gets everyone in the party laughing. I know you’ve been saying you won’t get worked up on the big day, but you will and the funny chick will be there to seemingly melt those worries away.

The Party Chick

You can always count on this one to get the party started and be the one who’s still partying as the sun comes up. You already know which of your friends falls under this category. Regardless if you are on the hen party night, the wedding night or just a regular Saturday night she’ll be the first on the dancefloor and will have you all out there shortly afterwards. The party chick is also the girl to quiz about songs for a hen party playlist and a wedding playlist. This girl always seems to have a bottle of prosecco in hand, in case you run out of some bubbly.

The Social Chick

This girl will take more photos on her phone over the course of the hen party weekend and wedding day that she should really be a professional photographer. She’ll be posting pictures of the hen party weekend and big day on Facebook and Instagram that will actually feel more like she’s giving live updates of the day. However, she’ll probably have more intimate moments on her camera that you’ll love. And even though you might get a bit annoyed when she’s asking to take pictures again you’ll be delighted to have a someone documenting the entire day. She will do this expression frequently but at least she knows what Instagram filters you love.

The Chill Chick

If this girl was anymore laid back she’d be asleep. She doesn’t care much for what dress she’s wearing and if this goes with that. She’ll do whatever is needed on the big day and for the hen party weekend. She won’t complain about anything and doesn’t do drama. She is actually the voice of reason. Having her around relaxes you and makes sure you have an unforgettable wedding and hen party that’s drama free.

So do you know which of your girlfriends will be the 5 types of bridesmaids you’ll need?

It seems like it’s been a long time coming, you know that Hen party you’ve been organising for your beloved friend. You have planned, with the help of Hen Party Central, a truly fantastic weekend that is sending the bride-to-be off into wedlock properly. After all this effort, what you want, what you really want is to see the hen cry! You didn’t misread that, you want to see her ruin some mascara on your behalf.

It’s like what they said in Friends, there’s no selfless good deed. You might be organising this hen party out of the goodness of your heart but you want to see some thanks for it. How do you measure that? With the volume of tears of gratification that she spills. You don’t want to scar the girl just leave a lasting emotional moment with her.

So here’s a guide to make the hen cry and really show how good a friend you are.

The Trusty Skype Call

We all have relatives or friends living abroad these days and with all the best will in world they probably won’t be able to make the wedding let alone the hen party. So when you arrive at your accommodation have a surprise Skype call set up with a loved one. A reason for doing this now is that she probably doesn’t have any make up on to ruin yet. I can guarantee that she’ll be over come with emotion and shed a few tears at the effort made by her loved one to get up at an un-godly hour just to wish her well on her hen party.

Say It With A Card

Women love cards, fact! The revenue Hallmark makes every year is the case and point. So use this to your advantage. Get everyone on the hen party, family etc to write a small note on a card, saying what she means to her, about their friendship, best wishes or something for the big day. Just think about all those cards and all the emotional triggers. She won’t be able to get a word out with all her crying and sniffling.

That Charming Fiancé Of Hers

Okay for the most part most men keep their feelings to themselves. Well then what you do is get onto her fiancé and get him to record a video of himself professing his love and how he can’t wait to spend the rest of his life with her and to enjoy the hen party. She’ll melt and you’ll have plenty of tears.

A Picture Says A Thousand Words

A picture says a thousand words and all them are saying to the hen ‘cry’! I suggest getting actual photographs, not just you sitting there swiping right on you phone saying look at this. The photos could be from the holidays you’ve been on together, birthdays, nights out etc. Get all the girls to add to the collection and make an album for her. It’s a fantastic memento of the weekend and will be sure to bring on the waterworks. We recommend some form of laminate for the photo album so it doesn’t get ruined.

The Old Reliable 

If all else fails, break out the old reliable, GIN! Commonly known in most cultures as a mascara thinner. Add this to the hen and all emotional tear jerkers you’ve been doing to her will multiply by 10. This comes with a safety warning. After adding gin to the bride-to-be you may not be able to stop the tears.

So much goes into planning the hen party weekend for one of your best friends. Trying to organise who is going to get definite numbers, (harder then it sounds, there’s always one), where to go? what to do? what theme will we pick? will we even pick a theme? what hen party games will we play and do I need to pick anything up for it? And…on top of it all ladies you will at some point say ‘What am I going to wear?’.

One thing that gets overlooked sometimes is the little touches that really makes the weekend special for the bride-to-be. It’s those little touches are what will make the bride-to-be well up, make you forget the hassle you had with that girl that was coming, then not coming, then coming again, all worth it. You won’t care about that stuff as you know the bride loved it and she’d do it for you.

There are lots of things you can do to add special little touches. On of them is organising Surprise Hen Party Gifts. It’s a really thoughtful and sweet idea to ask everyone attending the hen party to bring with them a little gift and give it to her at the dinner.

It’s best to set a price limit that each person can spend on the gift, but you’ll be forgiven for straying a euro or two over. It’s often the smallest gift with the most thought put into it, that can go a long way to making the bride feel loved.

You know the bride better than we ever will, but a photo frame of you together as kids is a touching idea. Or something from the first house you shared together in college. You can always go with a few funnier options like a candy bra, a book on kama-sutra, PJ’s or even a t-shirt with both your faces on it. The possibilities are endless when choosing a gift.

Surprise Hen Party Gifts really are a fantastic hen party idea. It makes the bride feel so loved, and that you’re not just on the hen party weekend for the lash. The bride might only ever have one hen party and these little touches will leave lasting memories that you’ll all be talking about for years to come.
