We are not all blessed to live in or new a location such as London, Edinburgh, Brighton or Bath, which offer fantastic festive delights at Christmas time, as well as a wide range of party packages.

As a result we can feel lacking in choice when it comes to organising a Christmas party for colleagues and friends as you are often restricted by location.

However, Christmas party oganisers Eventa have searched the country for great venues in all cities and towns in England, Wales and Scotland to ensure there is a Christmas party to relish regardless of where you are from.

Coventry Christmas parties, Southampton Xmas nights and Luton party evenings are just a selection of the locations that boast fantastic Christmas events, but check out their website (http://www.eventa.co.uk/christmas-parties/) for the full range.

As hen party organiser one of your tasks may be to equip everyone with the essential hen night accessories for the evening, which can be a tough task to pull off if you are not a hen party veteran.

Hopefully the brief run down of the essential hen night accessories below will help guide you in the right direction.

Willy Straws

The cheapest of the essential hen night accessories is also the funniest. These little straws are cheeky chappies that make sipping on a drink much funnier than it should be. An ideal inclusion in a hen party goodie bag.

Hen Night Sashes

Every bride-to-be should wear a sash on her big party day. They can proudly show off that the party is all about them with a hen night sash in the colour and style of their choice. There are also hen night sashes available for the rest of the girls in the group.

Dare to do it cards

These cards are the most practical of the hen party games as it can be pulled out from a pocket or handbag when the party needs an injection of cheeky humour. The set of dare cards present some funny challengers for the bride-to-be and everyone else that is brave enough to take part.

Hen Party Bopper

A great way to give all the hen party girls a similar look is to give them all some party boppers as a fun headgear option. They come in all sorts of colours and styles, while there are special version for the different roles on the night.

Willy Whistle

Give the girls a way of making some noise and get everyone laughing at the same time with another cheeky accessory in the form of a willy whistle.

Hen parties are designed to be cheeky and cheesy and we wouldn’t want it any other way. It is a night where you will dress up in cheesy hen night accessories, listen to cheesy music, go to cheesy venues and play cheesy hen party games.

Let us focus on these party games that on any other night would seem ridiculous and childish, but on a last night of freedom they seem like the best idea in the world.

We have the dare dice game, which involves a role of a pair of dice to reveal a cheeky dare by combinging a person and a challenge. For example you may be asked to approach a cute guy with a chat-up line, which will of course be cheesy, or you may not to ask a geek to marry you. A regular evening in town then!

Next up with have a scavanger hunt game, which can be used to challenge all the group to do a wide of range of cheeky tasks in order to pick up as many points as possible. The one with the most points is the winner, although other than some kind of hen night pride, there isn’t much incentive. However, that is the sober mindset, whereas after a cocktail or two you’ll all be desperately hunting for man to give up his underwear. Honestly!

Possibly a little more sensible is the ‘How well do you know the bride game?’ which could be ideal for any bride that is yet to make up their mind as to who should be her chief bridesmaid. You’ll be battling it out with each other to see who has been paying attention to the bride all these years.

If you are organising a party, such as a stag do or a hen night, there is a fair amount of responsibility on you to ensure everyone has fun, or at least that the evening is not a disaster.

As the party can involve some people that do not know each other it can be hard to get people to relax and get into the party mood, creating an awkward atmosphere. One of the best ways to get around this is to start the night with a visit to a comedy club.

Primarily the comedy club should give everyone plenty of reasons to laugh and unless the comedians and awful it should put you all in a good mood, while it also creates subjects to discuss after he show is over.

You can also enjoy some drinks before, during and after the performances, which benefit from the regular intervals as it allow guests that are still finding their feet to get to know everyone in short doses.

However, the best reason to go to a comedy club for a stag or a hen night is there is a fair chance at least one of the comedians will pick up on a there being a hen party of a stag party in the audience and make a few light-hearted jokes at the expense of the groom or bride-to-be, which is part of the course on their party night.

The best comedy clubs are in the biggest cities, so if you are on a hen night in London or a stag night in Newcastle you should be in for a treat.

Hen Party Games

A popular idea for hens is to introduce some hen party games to the part. These usually involve some cheeky dares for the bride to tackle but the rest of the girls can get involved in the action. Here are three fun hen party games to consider for your big hen party night.

Dare to do hen party cards

This handy pack of cards are easy to take out on a hen night in a handbag or pocket and then when the evening needs a kick start the cards can be introduced. If you feel the embarrassment can be shared with the bride-to-be and the girls you can allow each person to draw a card from the pack. Each person than has a dare to do before the night is out. Will you get lucky and be asked to steal a beer mat, or less so and asked to dance on a table. Good luck!

Hen Scavenger Hunt

Hand the bride-to-be and the rest of the part a task sheet to complete on the hen night. If this sounds like hard work or boring you could not be more wrong. The tasks included on this hen scavenger hunt are hilarious and guaranteed to have the girls rolling around on the floor in hysterics. As the tasks get more difficult to complete the points on offer increases, so who will be the champion when you tally up the score come the end of the night? From using a cheesy pick up line on a strange for 1 points to asking a guy to marry you for a whipping 100 points – this is a fun game that delivers every time.

Hen Party Decision Dice

These two dice are the perfect hen accessory to take out on a hen party. Choose a player to roll the dice and then watch with baited breath at the task she is going to be set. Will you be able to hold back the laughter if the hen party decision dice say to hug a short guy or wink at a nerdy guy? This is just a cheeky little bit of fun that will help provide some giggles from time to time during your hen night celebrations.

Start your evening off in The Black Sheep Bar for your first beer and get some grub at the same time. The bar has a relaxed atmosphere and is famed for its good quality food,  while it is easy to find within yards of Newquay’s train station, so this could also be your first drinking venue on arriving on your weekend holiday.

Then head off to The Sailor’s Arms, which is a great venue to watch football in and to stay in and get drink. We think you’ll happily get on merry way here and then your next stop is one of Newquay’s famed nightclubs.

First up is Berties, which is Newquay’s biggest club. It holds over 2000 and has a range of nights on offer and often gets guests DJs such as Trevor Nelson performing to the masses of party animals.

It is traditional to challenge the bride-to-be to at least a couple of dares on her last night of freedom. As much as she is looking forward to her big party night there will be some trepidation over what is in store as her bridesmaids and best friends hatch their cunning plans.

If the girls want some assistance in organising some dare games there are a large number of props and games to help them out. Here are just a few of our favourites, which you can find at online retailer Hen Stuff.

Dare Dice

Stand back as the bride-to-be rolls the dice to reveal her first dare of the night. The two dice will reveal her task, which could be to tickle a bald man, or pinch the bum of the cutest guy in the room. Whatever option she roles is sure to have the girls on the floor laughing.

Dare checklist

Give the bride-to-be a list of ten challenges, which during the night she must try and complete. She can tick them off as she goes, starting with the easy option of stealing coasters from the bar to getting her hands on a guy’s boxers.

Dare cards

These pack of cards are handy to take out in your purse and when the party is in need of a kick-start out they can come. Give the bride-to-be the chance to select one of the cards from the pack, which will give her a funny and/or cheeky challenge.

Of course lots of these games and challenges can include the rest of the hen party if you are decent enough to share out the embarrassing dares. As well as these games Hen Stuff has countless hen party accessories on offer to enhance your big night.

There are few European cities more suited to hosting a last weekend of freedom than the Czech Republic capital of Prague.

The historic city of Prague is a rightly popular venue for both hen parties and stag groups, who want to experience something new while they celebrate the forthcoming wedding in a true British way, namely by drinking too much and being more than a little childish.

You could argue that this can be achieved anywhere, but a stag or hen weekend abroad should also be a memorable holiday as you’d like to think you will only have one in your lifetime, so it should be perfect.

Prague allows you to have a slightly wild time, while also being a delightful place to get drunk in. It is rich in heritage, culture and beauty, which will obviously appeal to those that want more to their pictures than hammered faces and awful costumes.

However, there are other historic cities that contain so much beauty, but  they do not have Prague’s taste for a wild cheeky side. There is more than enough risqué nightlife entertainment on offer to keep both girls and guys amused on their final weekend before married life, while for those seeking a tamer send off the opportunities are also vast.

From river cruises, to pub crawls at night and from kayaking and paintballing by day, Prague has all you could ask for on a hen or a stag party abroad.

A hen party should include a couple of immature, yet very funny games – usually at the expense of some unsuspecting males. A large group of hens are not to be messed with, so it is the perfect opportunity to be cheekier than normal.

Hen party games are available for parties when you are staying together for a girls night in and also for when you are out and about in bars and clubs. Below are just a few suggestions to get the girls giggling on this party of all parties.

Give all the girls on the hen party a sheet of stickers at the start of the night and they have to find a guy that best represents the comment on the sticker. The gems range from “Hottest Buns” to “Most Nerdy”, so choose carefully!

A similar option involves you girls becoming judges like from Dancing on Ice, as you will have a set of cards with a number from 1 to 10, which you can use to grade the men that pass you by. Will you find a perfect 10 on your hen night?

If you are staying in the best game has to be a truth or dare related game, with lots of options on offer, but the alternative is the trusty bottle of course.

Another game is ‘Hot well do you know the bride?’ Play this to find out if the chief bridesmaid is worthy of her title as you all see who is the expert on the bride-to-be.

This is just a sample of the games on offer from hen accessory specialists Hen Stuff.

If you are scratching your head over what to do on a stag weekend then you’ve probably not considered anything related to mud wrestling. Well, this is about to broaden your horizons!

Mud wrestling is a serious sport, which only professional athletes compete in, while spectators are connoisseurs of the complicated grapples and lifts involved. Wait a minute, we are not kidding anyone are we? Mud wrestling is a sleazy way to see semi-naked women rolling around in mud, and we can’t deny it.

However, it is hugely entertaining and good fun, but unfortunately this stag do activity is not available everywhere. Why not, we ask? This should be the number of spectator sport in every town and city across the land, but for now it is on offer in Bratislava and Brno.

One aspect we were not lying about is that the competitors do mean business and unfortunately for the stag they do like to include him in their wrestling contest and these feisty, and muddy, know what they are doing. However, who is going to mind being in a headlock when the aggressor is gorgeous and topless?
