    What is a bachelorette party?

    A feast honouring the groom the night before his wedding has been traced back to 5 B.C., to the famed military civilisation of ancient Sparta. However, women did not begin following this custom until over two thousand years later. Even though bridal showers have been celebrated since the 16th century in Europe, the phrase "bachelor party" was not established until a Scottish magazine in 1922; the "bachelorette party" did not appear until the 1960s, coinciding with the rise of the feminist movement.

    While the concept of a bachelorette party has been well-established since the 1980s, the specifics of what goes on at these events are still developing. The event's significance, however, transcends cultural boundaries thanks to the universal principles of camaraderie and self-empowerment it represents. Having the kind of party you want before your wedding is the most enjoyable (and feminist) thing you can do.

    Bachelorette Party Meaning

    To celebrate the bride-to-impending be's independence, the ladies throw her a bachelorette party, the significance of which often involves expressing themselves sexually. In reality, ladies have always looked forwards to pre-wedding parties, and they've always had plenty of chances to let loose in their own right.

    Traditions centred on the bride before a wedding have been practised by many cultures for a very long time, even if they don't all use the same phrase to describe it. Perhaps they were similar to the "making of the bed" rituals used in Greece (known as the "To Krevati") and Asia, in which the single women prepare the bed in which the newlyweds will sleep on their wedding night.

    In order to bring children into the marriage, the bride's family traditionally sprinkles the bed with coins, rice, rose petals, and other fertility symbols before bouncing infants on it. Mehndi ceremonies are another way that women in South Asian and Indian cultures and traditions come together as a community. Women who have been invited to the wedding have their hands and arms painted with elaborate designs for good fortune. Pita bread is traditionally baked on the Thursday before a wedding in Bulgaria.

    It's a great way to bond with your girlfriends and introduce them to a new cultural experience that you're passionate about if you have a bachelorette party that incorporates elements of your culture.

    Hen’s Night vs. Bachelorette Party

    While Hen's Nights is more common in Australia and New Zealand, its popularity has spread to the United Kingdom and Ireland, leading to yet another case of geographical misconception. However, the concept of Bachelorette parties seems to have originated in the United States, and due to Hollywood, we're all confused about what they actually entail.

    The main purpose of these gatherings is to have one last wild night of freedom before the bride and groom tie the knot, and they are sometimes held in addition to a Bridal Shower or Kitchen Tea. You need not bring any presents, but you should be prepared to take part in some risque games, and a good-looking "policeman" may show up unexpectedly to investigate a noise complaint.

    We have, however, noticed a shift in recent years from raunchy nights out to refined days out and about! Instead of throwing a huge party at night, some hosts are opting for more low-key but nonetheless fun activities like winery visits, glamping sleepovers, spa days, and group lessons.

    21 Unique Hens Party Ideas Across Australia

    Bachelorette Parties Consist

    LIFE DRAWING – ART, TUNES, CHAMPAGNE AND… NUDES

    Discover your inner artist in a class where music, champagne, and laughing are encouraged. With a personal nude male model who guarantees not to be offended by any less-than-flattering artwork or fits of giggles, this one-of-a-kind experience is tailor-made for your Hens Party.

    Champagne and your favourite tunes will be provided while skilled art instructors lead your group in a recreation of the masculine form. The art party can be brought to you, or you can go to an art studio to have fun. Oh, and don't forget to bring your cameras so you may take pictures of the model at the end of the lesson!

    MALE REVUE SHOW – GENTLEMEN OF THE NIGHT

    You won't want these guys to keep their hats on, so put away any thoughts of The Full Monty! This adult-only cabaret performance has a spectacular music and light show, thrilling choreography, and, of course, audience involvement to create a memorable and engaging experience. Your Hen will be greeted with a cocktail and a special on-stage lapdance (but shh, don't tell her about that!). Australia's sexiest male strippers, jaw-dropping shows, and a posh setting guarantee an unforgettable evening.

    ARCHERY ATTACK – BADASS BABES WITH BOWS

    Hollywood has a long history of celebrating strong women who use arrows and bows from Maid Marian in "Robin Hood" to Katniss Everdeen in "The Hunger Games" to the red-haired Meridan in Disney Pixar's "Brave." You now have your very own rainbow bow, foam-tipped arrow, and... faceguard with which to live out your dreams of being an archer goddess.

    Archery Attack is a fight, and you're the intended victim. You and your teammates will be dropped into combat without any supplies beyond the inflatable obstacle course and your protective gear. And with an easy-to-see target on her back, the Hen has no where to take cover.

    BURLESQUE – BURLESQUE BABY

    Join in on the fun and become the leading ladies of your very own Burlesque show at this sassy and saucy Hens Party. Traditional, raucous Burlesque, Charleston flappers of the 1920s, groovy, 1960s Go-Go dancers, or gorgeous, vintage-inspired Cabaret will transport you to another era.

    Your hostess will pick you up at your designated location and get the party started with activities and prizes after giving the Hen a makeover in keeping with the theme. The real fun will begin after the dance lesson when you put on your own burlesque performance. Maybe this is a dress rehearsal for the big flashmob on the big day!

    GIN TASTING – BOTANICALS AND BRIDESMAIDS

    The good times have finally started, so why not celebrate? Your hens party will be given a private tour of a distillery and a gin and tonic sampling. Worried that you can't tell a juniper berry from a citrous peel? You need not fret. The distilling process will be explained, the flavours and botanicals of each gin will be introduced (along with plenty of samples for study purposes), and the racy history of prohibition will be explored in an informative and entertaining workshop. Plus, if that doesn't pique your interest, the cocktails will. For a sophisticated and enjoyable Hens Day, you can take advantage of this opportunity whenever you like (even though, then again, it is always Gin O' Clock)!

    PUPPETRY OF THE PENIS – A DIFFERENT KIND OF PUPPET SHOW

    A private showing of Puppetry of the Penis is a great way to show your support for the arts (and the male anatomy). Yes, you've guessed correctly. We'll bring the world-famous stage production right to your living room, hotel room, or other private venue.

    Witness in awe as the skilled all-male puppeteers perform an extraordinary feat of trash gymnastics and anatomical acrobatics right before your own eyes. Benefit from the audience Q&A, group photo ops, and catered refreshments.

    There is a "Loch Ness Monster," you probably shouldn't eat a "Hamburger," and don't say we didn't warn you about the "Wedding Ring," but we don't want to give too much away.

    BUNGY JUMP – 3, 2, 1… BUNGYYY!

    This one's for the free-spirited hen that prefers the open road. Nice and easy, you just tie an elastic band around your ankles and jump off a tall building. Does that capture your vibe? It all started in Cape town, Britain, where a bunch of kooks and heroes did the first one. Bungy jumping has been done in more beautiful locations and with less risk than ever before. This is a huge perk since it diverts attention away from the fact that you or the hen are squawking in pain as you descend.

    HIGH TEA – LET THEM EAT CAKE

    High tea, which first appeared in the 1840s among England's upper classes, has a rich history and elaborate protocol that we could fill you in on. But why go into detail when there's French champagne, pickle sandwich, and dessert waiting? Everything about this afternoon is classy, from the freshly baked scones with clotted cream and jam to the elegant private room set aside for your Hens Party inside the stunning venue. All of the Hen's guests are likely to have a wonderful time at this event, and it's ideal for the Hen who appreciates the finer things in life. Cake is loved by all.

    BLOWDRY AND STYLE – BLOW WAVE AND BUBBLY

    Closed-door bar Raise the decibel level! How about a VIP blow wave with some bubbly before the big celebration? After getting a soothing hair treatment and scalp massage, as well as a professional blow wave to prep your tresses for the spotlight, you can expect to feel like a new woman.

    The Hen will have a great day getting pampered at the Blow Bar. There's plenty of time in the chair to think about ideas for the remainder of the day, including some fun surprises for the Hen.

    PAINTBALL – SWAP PEDICURES FOR PAINTBALLS

    Men shouldn't have all the fun. If the thought of a day at the spa bores you more than watching paint dry, perhaps the fast-paced action of the paintball field is more your speed.

    The best way to demonstrate your appreciation for the Hen is to put a target on her back and give each member of your tribe three hundred paintballs.

    This exciting activity doubles as a rigors workout, so you can enjoy your pizza lunch guilt-free. You'll leave this one-of-a-kind daytime event refreshed and prepared for a night of lavish indulgence.

    POLE DANCING – FIT, FUN AND FLIRTY

    Put down the weights and try pole dancing instead. In this private lesson, you'll master the fundamentals of pole dancing, belly dancing, or live performance, and perfect a cheeky routine of your choosing.

    The instructor will show you the ins and outs of the hottest techniques, so you may recreate that unforgettable scene from Showgirls.

    Sip champagne upon arriving to improve your self-assurance before unveiling the surprise gift for the guest of honour (including a new bag of tricks for the honeymoon). Whether you're a novice or a seasoned pole dancer, you'll leave feeling confident and ready to take on the world.

    Axe tossing is guaranteed to get the adrenaline flowing, the ladies in stitches, and the warrior goddess hidden deep within your bride. House of Hens approves wholeheartedly! While most people think of burly guys with bushy beards when they picture axe throwing, the truth is that Viking ladies were quite proficient with axes long before it became a popular weekend activity.

    Frequently Asked Questions About Bachelorette Parties

    Typically, the bachelorette party includes the wedding party and close friends and family. The guest list should be drawn up by the person hosting the bachelorette party—who is often the maid of honour—but every guest should be approved by the bride.

    Although it's trendy for the bride to give everyone attending the bachelorette party a gift, it's certainly not necessary. Traditionally, the maid of honour and bridesmaids plan and pay for all bachelorette festivities, and the bride spends her time preparing for the big day instead.

    Bachelorette Party Scavenger Hunt List

    1. Get someone to buy the bride a shot.
    2. Find someone with the same name as the groom.
    3. Get a picture with another bachelorette party.
    4. Get the DJ to play a song for the bride.
    5. Dance on the table or bar.
    6. Get a random guy's phone number.
    7. Get someone to give the bride a lap dance.

    Typically, the maid of honour and bridesmaids split the cost of the bachelorette party. The bride's expenses (including her drinks, meals, and transportation) are split evenly between the bridal party.

    According to a survey by The Knot, the median cost of a one-day bachelorette party is $150. For two days, that figure jumps to $350. A bachelorette party that takes place over three days has a median cost of $450. Nearly 40% of those who had to fly to their bachelorette party destination spent around $1,000.
