Planning a Wedding? Worry about the Bachelorette Party First!

April 20, 2011 - PRLog -- When it comes to groups of ladies, it is exceptionally difficult to please everybody – at least, not without a few fraught arguments beforehand!

The traditional Hen night has become a necessity for all soon-to-be-married ladies. But for those best friends or bridesmaids having to take charge of the organising, this is no easy task to accomplish. Often, horrible images of short skirts, cheap cocktails and tatty ‘L’ plates spring to mind; perhaps it’s time to take the ‘hen party’ a little more upper class.

Not all girls will want to necessarily take a huge group of friends with them, and of course one quality friend is better than a hundred let-downs. No bachelorette (http://www.redletterdays.co.uk/occasions/weddings/henparties/) party would be complete without some fine wine, which is where the perfect overnight wine tasting break for two comes in. This special break away will incorporate a significant amount of wine-tasting, of both reds and white wines, during which you and a friend will learn how to match the correct wines with specific meals. Round the day off with a fun wine-tasting blind challenge before passing out for the night in your beautiful country house hotel.

However, if you would rather avoid the hangover, there is an alternative. Weddings are stressful, busy affairs, and before the big day every bride could use a chance to wind down. Spend an entire day at a spa with the bride-to-be and enjoy unlimited access to all of the available facilities. Although these will vary depending on which spa you choose, options include a swimming pool, sauna, steam room, plunge pool, relaxation suite, and even gym equipment if you’re feeling more energetic. The day will also include a healthy, tasty lunch before you leave to embark on the rest of your bridesmaid duties!

Whilst this might seem like heaven to some brides, to others it might seem a little dull. Thankfully, there is a slightly more heart-stopping alternative! The little tiny colourful dots you occasionally spot in the sky overhead are of course really gigantic hot air balloons – and now the opportunity has arisen for you to embark on this brilliant experience and fly up to heights of 3,000 feet! Leave all of the wedding (http://www.redletterdays.co.uk/occasions/weddings/) worries far below you as you drift above the stunning countryside views with your closest friends before returning back to solid ground and a glass of celebratory champagne.

A more down-to-earth option for the bride-to-be might be the cookery masterclass where Hazelwood castle has become the setting for this top day of confectionary delights. Start your day with coffee and biscuits before moving onto a tour of this spectacular castle. Shortly afterwards, you can enjoy champagne and a two-course lunch at the Restaurant Anise before experiencing a top cookery demonstration by head chef Tim Hamer. The bride-to-be will leave with a host of new recipes with which to impress her new husband!

Abandon the traditional hen party (http://www.redletterdays.co.uk/occasions/weddings/henpart...) and make this a truly special occasion the bride will never forget – unless she drinks too much!
