Stag and Hen Parties

The tradition of the stag party goes back as far as Henry the Eighth, he would command you to attend his celebration by either a town crier or by royal letter on pain of death! Whereas these days we usually go very willingly to a hen or stag do and just feel like death the day after!!

Whatever background you come from there is no getting away from the fact that marriage is possibly the most important decision of your life so what better way to say good-bye to the single life than to get together with your friends new and old and celebrate in style?

These days most stag and hen groups want a little bit more than just the one night down the pub and look to activities for the whole weekend.

With so many things from paintball, quad biking, pamper days, chocolate making and even short trips to Europe there is something for everyone and more than enough to fill two, three even more days.

Gifts and favours

Gifts are often given to certain members of the wedding party as thanks yous, for example the parents of both bride and groom or the maid of honour and bridesmaids.

There is also the tradition of giving guests something to remember the day by in the form of favours has been around for hundreds of years. Today, the tradition has evolved to giving each guest five sugar coated almonds to symbolise health, wealth, fertility, happiness and long-life.

Wedding dress

A wedding inspires everyone to dress up but all eyes are on the bride.

Once the date and location of the wedding have been decided, the bride must start looking for her dress and accessories. It's best to start as soon as possible as it can take longer than expected especially as alterations may be necessary.
