11 defining characteristics of an Irish hen party

Round up the girlos, we’re off to Carrick-on-Shannon!

GOING TO THE chapel and we’re gonna get married. Before all of that good stuff, comes the hen party.

Here’s how it’ll go down.

1. There WILL be a theme

Hawaiian, sexy doctors, sexy nurses, sexy ballerina slash pink cowgirl, er, 80s tribute band…

2. Everyone has a nickname

There WILL be printed t-shirts from those shops you think nobody ever goes into. If you fail to nominate a suitable name for yourself, the maid of honour will pick one for you.

Bet you regret not replying NOW, ‘Ravishing Rose’.

3. The bride is wearing license plates and or a sash

Nothing says ‘I’m getting married’ like pastel pink feathers.

4. You’re forever in a group

You’re not even sure what personal space is any more. But to be honest, the last thing you want to do is break off from the gals wearing a neon green wig and leg-warmers.

5. There are penis-shaped things, everywhere

We cannot emphasis this enough… EVERYWHERE. It’s not like it’s the last time she’ll ever see one.

6. It will be in Carlingford, Carrick-on-Shannon, or Westport

The location will preferably be across the coast where you stay together in a hotel so you can get as messy as. Fancy feckers.

7. Men will be objectified

Even by Auntie Carol who initially blushed at the penis cake but retrospectively is a bit of a cougar.

8. Drinks are exclusively cocktails

It’s like a rule. Martini glasses only.

Champagne is allowed for those with notions.

9. There’ll be lots of wooing

10. You’ll do at least one dare

You don’t know indignity until you ask a complete stranger for his boxers.

11. Someone will state the obvious at least ten times

“She’s getting married!” What gave it away?
