the hen's night

This night is a rite of passage as you prepare to pass from singledom into the state of marriage. Some bride's choose to celebrate with a raucous night on the town, while others enjoy a quieter event with their closest friends.

A hen's night is traditionally your last opportunity for a night out with your girlfriends before you marry. Of course,
there will be many more nights out: but you shouldn't let that stop you from enjoying yourself and the company of your best friends.

to the fullest

There are no rules regarding who should organise the event. You may choose to make the arrangements yourself, or leave matters in the hands of your bridesmaids and friends. If you have decided on the second option, you should probably prepare for an unforgettable evening!

If the occasion permits, your hen's night is a good opportunity to thank your attendants with a small gift each. Perfume, a piece of
jewellery, or some other accessories are popular choices.

your style

Your hen's night should reflect your personality and style, and be something that you are comfortable with. You might opt for a relaxed dinner at a favourite restaurant with your dearest friends, or for an informal, fun evening at someone's home. This style of get-together gives you the opportunity to swap anecdotes and reminisce over the times spent together that made you such close friends. Alternatively, nightclubs, cabaret restaurants, comedy clubs, or specialty venues that cater to 'women only' interests are popular hen's night choices.

You may also want to invite your mother along for part of the evening. Asking her to join you for drinks before you move on to dance the night away is a thoughtful gesture that includes her in the fun.

when?

You will want to glow on your wedding day, so allowing yourself at least a few days to recover from your hen's night is always advisable. Otherwise, any time is acceptable.

However, if friends from out of town are coming to join you for your hen's night and the big day, it would be better to hold the night as close to the actual wedding as possible to minimise their need to travel.

sense and sensibility

It's important to consider your own safety as well as the safety of your hen's night guests. If one of your friends is happy not to drink, ask her if she wouldn't mind being your designated driver. Alternatively, arrange for taxis, or hire a chauffeured mini bus. There are many forms of transport available to ensure you all return home safely at the end of the night.

endless options

And why limit your hen's party experience to just one night? Many brides-to-be are now opting for a day or weekend spent together with friends at the beach, in the country, or luxuriating at a health spa. Visit a vineyard, go hot air ballooning, indulge in a facial, go horse riding or enjoy an evening at the theatre followed by a champagne breakfast. These alternatives offer you the opportunity to de-stress, while enjoying quality time with your closest friends - an increasingly rare commodity as your wedding day draws closer.

joining forces

There is also a growing trend for the bride and groom to join forces and have a combined hen's/buck's night. An event that includes both your groups of friends can be a lot of fun, particularly if you decide on a fancy dress party or a BBQ.

Alternatively, you can decide to start the night in separate locations and meet later in the evening for dinner and dancing.

do remember ...

Your hen's night will be another one of your treasured wedding day memories. So, whether you decide on a cosy, relaxed get together, or a night of bar hopping and
dancing, the most important thing is for you and your friends to enjoy yourselves.

noosa bar & club review

The Flamingo Club

The illustrious interior decor distinctively sets this place apart from other upmarket bars and clubs across the nation. A great cocktail menu will entice you.

As you climb the stairway, you'll discover this intimate lounge that's head-to-toe in rich ruby curtains, scarlet furniture and is surprisingly funky for the Sunshine Coast. The crowd is avidly cocktail, so grab a martini glass and hopefully score a seat on the velvety couch under the room's striking red chandelier. It's all about the glamour. Friendly staff and Asian-style nibblies also keep the experience fab.

The Rolling Rock

The Rolling Rock nightclub has been a landmark in Hastings Street since 1990. Tucked away upstairs in Bay Village in the heart of Hastings Street, Noosa's famous tourist strip, the Rolling Rock plays host to many international and interstate visitors and of course our valued local customers. Some famous people have also partied at the Rolling Rock including Prince William, Bono, Edge & the members of U2 and many more.

Rococo Wine Bar

Rococo epitomises all that is Noosa; a lively atmosphere dominates, while the French bistro menu is classy but not pretentious. Adding to the vibe is Rococo's resident entertainer, who pipes out everything from jazz standards to the hits of Elton John and Santana from behind the white baby grand piano. Situated amid the cafes, suntans and holidaymakers of Noosa's Hastings Street, this restaurant-cum-piano bar offers relaxed dining within the garden oasis or reclining at the open air bar.

Cafe Le Monde

Family owned and operated, Cafe Le Monde is Noosa's most iconic restaurant/ cafe. Although good for a coffee after a walk through the national park, a burger straight off the beach, Le Monde lights up after dark... makes great cocktails and makes you feel like you're in Noosa when you're kicking back in the open air lounges sipping cocktails listening to funky grooves.
