If you are planning a party and you are planning on having the party at your house, you might be feeling a little bit nervous about having a whole bunch of people at your house.  There are some precautions that you can take before you throw your big party, as long as you follow these simple tips, you are going to be in good shape!

Before you actually throw your party, you need to "party proof" your entire house.  This means that you need to put away all items that could potentially be broken and all valuables that could be stolen.  When it comes to throwing parties, you may have invited 15-20 people and about 40 people might actually show up.

We all know the drill, friends invite friends, who invite friends.  Some of these people that come to your house and come to your party, you may not have ever met, so they may not be as trustworthy as you might think.

The smartest thing that you can do is put the glasses under the bed or in a box, and hide the jewellery.

People tend to assume that the term trashing always means things are getting broken, how about the house being a huge mess when the morning comes.  If you do not want to have a huge mess to clean up in the morning then prepare!

Make sure that you set out plenty of garbage cans and garbage bags so that people can throw away their empty bottles in a trash bag, instead of on the floor or counter.

If you do not want to have to do dishes all morning, then replace all of your cups and glasses with plastic cups.  Plastic cups may cost some money, but think about the time you are going to save in the morning when you are cleaning up!

The bottom line here is, no one wants to wake up after a party and see that their entire home is trashed.  If you are planning a party for you and your friends then you need to make sure that you plan for a bit of a mess, but you hide all of the breakables and things that could potentially cause a huge mess.

If you have any pets such as a dog or a cat, then you might just want to keep them in your room while the party is going on.  Close off all of the rooms to your home, lock them from the inside if you can, this way you will know what is going on at all times while the party is going on.

Being smart about your party is going to help you immensely, and in the morning after the party you are going to have just a few messes to clean up around the house and then the rest of the day is going to be yours.  Be smart and be prepared, this is the only thing that you can do to protect your home from being trashed.

Hen’s parties are great way of showing how much the bride to be means and is loved. They help provide the boost and the courage to progress from one stage of life to the next and by doing so make the girl aware of how much support and love she inspires.

Although similar in element with buck’s parties, hen’s parties are otherwise different in that they seek to provide much more than entertainment. Where buck’s parties are meant to celebrate the groom-to-be last moments as bachelor, hen’s parties are meant to rejoice the life that she has lived so far and provide support for future.

They seek to provide the necessary support for the bride to be to go ahead and take the next step. It is important to plan out a hen’s party well in advance so that there are no ugly surprises or confusion at the day/night. Hen’s parties vary from person to person but most people prefer having themes for their parties. These can be either extremely out there, such as Star trek themes or something as simple as fancy dress parties. Among the more popular themes are:

Sex and the City Theme: These have a lot of potential for colourful and adventurous costumes with frocks and shoes. To add to the flavor, you can also add sugary cupcakes and cosmopolitan cocktails which will help build the atmosphere.

Where is your hen from: These themes work well when the hen is from somewhere other than the rest of the guests. For example, if the girl is from Scotland, you can get everyone to wear tartan and get a stripper to come wearing a kilt. Scottish smoked blinis and whisky sour cocktails make a perfect snack and with other Scottish activities added, it can turn into a really fun filled night.

School girl Hen night : This is always an easy winner since everyone has old school uniforms which they can pull out. With some added zest provided by stockings and suspenders and pigtails, the party can always provide plenty of entertainment. Furthermore, if you want to organize it in a club you can always ask for some school disco music and make sure you relive all the memories of your youth while making sure your friend is enjoying her hen party.

Play boy bunny: This theme has obvious naughty connotations and could require permission or at least prior notification. The fact that play boy bunny ears and sexy fishnet stocking are commonly available makes it easy to dress up for but it could also prove to be a lot more raucous than a normal hen’s night. Nevertheless, most girls would not object to looking sexy so it should not be that difficult to get everyone in the mood.

Hero’s night: You could also ask everyone to dress up as their favourite hero or heroine and have special games which are based on comics and super heroes. This will get everyone in the mood and be playful.

Hen’s parties are a great way for girls to not only bond with their friends but also to ensure that they proceed from their present stage of being single to that of being married in a harmonious manner.

It provides girls an effective means to express their emotions in the company of their close friends and without having to worry about unnecessary male attention.

The fact that most of these parties are more than just a get together means that there is a special value attached to them. It is considered a rite of passage, just as a buck’s party is. However, hen’s parties have taken on a slightly more refined concept than buck’s parties do. The raucous, overtly sexual undertones of a buck’s party are not always the case in hen’s parties.

Hen’s parties vary according to the theme and taste of the bride to be. Since it is meant to be in honour of the bride, a hen’s party is usually done in accordance with the girl’s wishes.

There are certain elements which need to be addressed before setting out to organize a hen’s party. Hen’s parties require a certain amount of planning and foresight. Like all good parties, hen’s parties do not just happen. Someone has to know where to go and what to do.

Furthermore, the entertainment needs to be in accordance with what the bride likes.  Just as important as planning, is picking a theme for the party. It does not necessarily mean that there has to be a theme for the party, but having one adds a new dimension to the party. It also helps give everyone something to do and makes them feel much more involved.

Apart from the planning phase, there is also the knowing what to plan.

It should never be ignored that the party is for the bride to be. Therefore everything should be done to ensure she is having fun. Unless it is meant to be a surprise, all other arrangements should be checked with her so that the ones she has reservations with can be shunted.

Furthermore, knowing who to invite also helps. If there are mothers and aunts on the guest list as well, it would help to tone down the excessive exuberance in case the bride to be gets uncomfortable as well.

The expenditure is usually a determining factor in finalizing the plans. The goal should be to figure out how much each friend is willing to spend and settle that before making the plans. This leaves out any possibility of confusion which might dampen the mood.

To get everyone in the mood for the party, there should be games or activities which help break the ice since not everyone will know each other. One important detail is to keep emergency supplies for the next morning, such as a few packets of Nurofen, stomach settlers and water. These come in handy when the bride or her friends have had too much fun.

Many women have different ways to celebrate the end of their single status, but among the most common ways for a woman to do this are by enjoying a well organized and executed hens’ night. It is usually the task of friends to the bride to organize and execute this activity.

Moreover, most often than not, the bride rarely has a hand in the activities prior to the hens night. Thus, it is vitally important that the people organizing the activity ensure that the activities that are planned to take place will be remembered by the bride to be for a long time to come.

Prior to the time the activities are set to take place, the organizers should ensure that they come up with a theme for the event. For instance, if they have a party organized, they could have a “sexy nurse” or a “super heroes” theme. Additionally, during the party the organizers could hire the services of male strippers. Hence, it is important to ensure that the activities organized maintain a relaxed atmosphere.

At hen parties, it is common for the attendees to play games. The most common of these games is “Dares”. When playing this game it is important to remember that the night should revolve around the bride to be.

Additionally, the dares are supposed to be relaxed so as to evoke a relaxed atmosphere. It is also important to ensure that they serve to entertain the attendees. An additional activity that can be ideal for a hens’ night event is the Murder Mystery Night.

The hens’ night attendees are taken to for instance, a restaurant or hotel location. At the location professional actors are hired to play out a particular story and the women attending the hens’ night get to solve the clues left by the actors.

Cheese with wine night is another popular idea for a hens’ night event. The event organizers need to buy cheeses and wines in different varieties. The women at the hen party could then try out the wine and cheeses for the better part of the evening.

Additionally, the women attending the event can bring photos for instance those from their childhood especially those that have the bride to be included in them. This is meant to evoke varied emotions from the attendees and the bride to be. Moreover, the organizers could hire a professional consultant to offer the women in attendance and especially the bride to be different tips on how to for instance please their men.

It is also important to carefully consider the location where the event is supposed to take place. This is because the location determines the activities that can take place in a particular place. Thus, the organizers can either choose to have the party in one of their houses or they could go out for the night.

If the women choose to go out they can bar hop to different clubs. As mentioned earlier, it is vitally important to have a theme for the event. This is because; the theme also acts as a guide to the different activities that can be planned.
