Mums and hen dos

Posted by Lisa Shaw on Sunday, May 27, 2012 In : Tips 
Someone asked me the other day whether I thought Mums should go on hen dos.  

I have to say I'm of the school of thought that says that mothers should be invited to at least one of their daughter's hen dos. I've been to quite a few celebrations where mothers and even mother-in-laws have been invited and it's been a really nice touch. There's always the option that the mothers peel off home before the night gets too raucous!
 
If you're close to your Mum then it probably won't be such a hard deci...

Funny hen night poems - a testimonial

Posted by Lisa Shaw on Thursday, May 24, 2012 In : Hen Party Poems 

I received an email earlier this week from a girl asking for a poem to be written for her friend's hen do. (For details about my poem writing service, along with some sample verses, please check out the poems page of this website).

Hen party email invitation

Posted by Lisa Shaw on Saturday, May 19, 2012 In : Tips 

Are you a bridesmaid just about ready to send out that first hen party email? Wondering what to put in it and what tone it should take? 

I would keep the initial email fairly brief but friendly, make sure you put a relevant subject title, introduce who you are, say why you are emailing them, state the proposed dates for the hen do, as well as the location and may be a very rough outline of what you are going to be getting up to. Ask people to respond to you as soon as possible. And remember to...

Nowadays, hen parties can be extremely expensive affairs, with many brides to be opting to have multiple hen dos away from home.

Heel stoppers!

Posted by Lisa Shaw on Tuesday, May 15, 2012 In : General 

I was at a wedding this last weekend (a lovely do - congratulations Mr and Mrs Ross!) and there was one girl who was wearing one of the best inventions I have ever seen. 

They are called heel stoppers and they basically stop your heels from sinking into the grass!!! How clever is that!

You slot what looks like a mini clear funnel over your heels and there is a little plastic disc (again clear) at the end which stops your heels from sinking into the ground. 

A quick Google shows that they are qui...
