Hen and Stag Nights have traditionally been enjoyed by brides and grooms for many years. It very much signifies an end to the spinster/bachelor lifstyle and the start of a new life together.

These days, couples are generally opting for quieter affairs though there are still those who want to indulge in anything going! Of course, the degree to which this is taken varies considerably from culture to culture, gender to gender and - of course - person to person. Did you know, however, that the kind of event you partake in, speaks volumes about who you are as a person!?

Is your idea of a wild night a skinful of tequilas, a hot curry, boogying in a nightclub to the small hours followed by a kebab on the way home? Is this really any different from a usual Saturday night though?

Maybe you are a Champneys kind of girl? Is your idea of a great time being pampered, massaged, steamed and shaken but not stirred!? Of course, the purity of this kind of hen do has to be toxified by plenty of champagne! Many celebrities chose this option, Katie Price to name one.

Perhaps your stag do involves a weekend away; many stags travel to cities such as Dublin to enjoy the male bonding and excessive drinking.

What it fundamentally boils down to though is having a fantastic time with your friends. It’s not about a ‘last night of freedom’ really, because if you think marriage will make you feel trapped maybe you shouldn’t be getting hitched at all. Moreover it is about saying a fond farewell to singledom, going wild with your closest friends where women can be girlie and men can be blokish and then look forward to a rosy future together.
