Feather boas, L Plates, Tutus, Bridal veils, Pink cowboy hats, Sashes, Personalised T-shirts, French Maid costumes, Banners, Badges and Plastic willys...Does this sound like your worst nightmare? They used to be considered the ultimate in girlie fun but the brash, trashy, tacky hen party has become a cliché and new trend for a more tasteful send off for brides-to-be has finally arrived.

Having noted several friends ‘hen’ parties had become much more chic affairs – a black tie event in Spain to a classy girls night out – minus all the paraphernalia – we also noted those classic L Plates and Pink cowboy hats were disappearing from bars and clubs in Belfast and beyond.

While it may be another effect of the recession as all those props and costumes cost a pretty penny, but now for us girls it’s all about spending quality time with friends rather than mass hysteria and outrageous behaviour: the new ‘Bachelorette’ parties are all together more ladylike.

 So 'Hen' Parties are out! Here at Sugahfix we’ve realised that you gals are fed-up of the trashy, stereotypical “pre-wedding-bash” and that it’s putting you off even having a party to say good-bye to singledom.  This makes us sad because we think a girly send-off is a MUST- so we have come up with four themes for Bachelorette parties that will make sure yours stays classy and elegant- while you still have the time of your life.

A gaggle of hens is most definitely no longer how we want to be considered- so firstly axing the name is essential to the success of our bid to re-brand the Bachelorette party and give us gals back a party that we can really be proud of.  We have chosen the names of four other female animals for our parties with one condition- they must exude elegance and class.

We guarantee that these parties provide something to suit every blushing bride-to-be so whether you're looking for a full hour-by-hour itinerary- or just for some fabulous inspiration- let Sugahfix guide you through the perfect Bachelorette party!
