Hen Party Rules
- Always remember, what happens at hen party, stays in hen party. End of the topic, no discussion.
- No photography session of the drunk and ‘it’ moments. No proof logged.
- Save cocktails for later, unless you want to be curled up in some corner and miss the fun.
- Take extra care of the drunken bride-to-be, so she doesn’t end up in some odd situation.
- Be daring and enjoy the hen party with full spirit. No hard feelings.
- By any means, add a twist of naughtiness in the party. You know what I mean, right?
- Collect all the mobile phones and hide them somewhere out of reach. No Facebook. No tweets. Nothing!
- Absolutely zero involvement of boyfriends and ex-boyfriends in any of the discussions and hen party games. It may upset the ambience. Also, no serious confessions please!
- Be cautious and arrange your conveyance back to your home. It is advisable not to roam here and there, especially, if it’s a night hen party.
- No drunk and silly comments on the bridegroom. This is a terrible, terrible mistake.
