No matter what you do for your Hen Party, look the part:

 
We're all familiar with the traditional hen and stag do's; the girls usually head to a relaxing spa retreat, whilst the lads usually booze it up in Eastern Europe, but those days are in the past as couples are now choosing to have a joint stag and hen party instead, known as Sten or Hag do's. Many couples share a similar circle of friends and choosing to share your celebrations together is a great way to get all your friends in one place for one big bash before the wedding. 
With Sten and Hag do's increasing in popularity, we feel it's the perfect chance to share with you some great activities that'll be fun for both the hens and the stags! So here are our top activities for a joint stag and hen do:
 
Pub Treasure Hunt
 
It's the battle of the sexes, to see which party can solve all the questions and challenges, and become the ultimate treasure hunting champions! This activity combines the fun of a pub crawl, with the problem solving of a treasure hunt - the perfect combination if you ask us. You will be set with a bunch of challenges and puzzles, which you must solve, in order to move on to the next location/pub. To ensure your brain is working to its full capacity, it's important you stay hydrated, so we suggest having a drink or two and each pub. This will ensure you're switched on to tackle any challenge that is placed in front of you! This truly is the perfect activity to have on your sten or hag do and is guaranteed to get you in the competitive spirit and get the drinks flowing! 
 
Inflatable Games
 
A little inflatable madness is perfect for a Sten and Hag do! Split into two teams, whether you decide to do hens vs stags or split the teams evenly, you're guaranteed to have plenty of fun! Each team will be awarded points for completing an obstacle and at the end of the day the winning team will receive some cool prizes. You'll need teamwork, a never say die attitude and a little competitive streak but don't worry, from start to finish, you're going to have fun and like your parents always said: "it's the taking part that counts!". To make it even more hilarious, why not bring along your very own embarrassingly shaped inflatable too...
 
Escape Games
 
If you enjoy puzzles and challenges, this activity is for you! Split your sten or hag do into two teams and try and solve all the puzzles, codes, and riddles in 60 minutes. If you don't manage to beat the time, you may have to stay in the room forever! This activity is the perfect chance to see who out of the hen or stags are the ultimate problem-solving champions and complete the Escape Game.

Paintballing is the perfect activity for a Sten or Hag do. It's the ideal way to relieve any pre-wedding tension! If the best man is planning to embarrass you in his speech or the mother-in-law is messing with your plans, spray them with some paintballs, we promise you it'll make you feel better. Of course, paintballing isn't all about getting payback, it's a great way for you all to bond and it's a great, fun, outdoor activity.

You're just about to get married and that can only mean one thing - a hen weekend! A hen party is great chance to get absolutely drunk, kill some power ballads at karaoke and enjoy some rude hen party games. One thing is for certain at a hen party, there's going to be a whole range of individuals there, here's some of the women you can expect to find at your hen party!  

The Maid of Honour 

This woman is your knight in your shining armour, but my god will she give you a headache! She'll constantly bombard you with daily Facebook messages, emails, WhatsApps, endless phone calls... There won't be a day that goes by where she hasn't sent you at least a 100 text messages! Cut her some slack though, it's not easy to organise a hen do, and she has taking the full burden off your shoulders, for which you should be eternally grateful.

The Golden Oldie

She's about double the age of everyone at the hen party and she hasn't been out for decades! She'll be trying her hardest to keep up with you and the rest of the girl's but will ultimately fail. But one thing is for sure, she'll be the first person busting out the Macarena and ensuring everyone is having a good time! 

The Lightweight 

She rarely has a drink but when she does - you know about it! One drink and she'll be a goner! She'll spend most of the night having her head resting on the bar and then finally bundling her into the taxi at 9pm. 

The Flirt 

She's a regular office worker by day but when the sun goes down she's an uncontrollable flirt who has her eyes set on every man in sight! You can guarantee she'll be sporting every phallic shaped object imaginable. She'll be Flirting and chatting up every man in the club, no-one is safe from this man-hunter! Beware - this woman is going to cut-loose!

The Bubbly Loudmouth

She's a walking, talking, air-horn, who will be "cracking on" with every bouncer and bar tender she meets, she'll sharing her life story with the girls she meets in the toilet and will probably end the night in a fight. Although a hen party without her would be a lot quieter, she's usually the one full of great ideas and it certainly would be a lot less fun without her there, so for that we thank her! 

The Old Friend From School

No-one will know who she is and she'll be practically mute, but she'll be there, lurking in the crowd. She'll occasionally chirp in with a childhood story of how the bride once kissed Joe Bloggs at lunchtime or that one time you all stayed up all night at a sleepover but other than that she'll be silent and end up disappearing into the night, never to appear again... 

The Mother of the Groom

You don't want her to be there but you've politely asked her to come along and you regret that decision hugely as all the girls tell her every embarrassing and raunchy secret about you and what you and her son get up to. But as the night goes on and after a few cocktails, she'll ends up spilling some gossip about your husband so inviting her to the party isn't too bad after all!

The Emotional Single

A hen party can be an emotional roller-coaster if you're single lady - you're finally getting married and starting a beautiful journey with your fiancé, whereas the only relationship this woman has is with Netflix. She is going to be a giant sob fest. But, stay strong single ladies of the hen weekend - one day you'll find your prince charming and you'll have your very own hen weekend thrown for you! 

The Party Animal 

This woman will ensure the hen party is absolutely carnage! She'll be force feeding you shots and making you all chug your drinks! You'll hope that towards the end of the night she'll mellow down but this boozehound can keep going all night and you're all along for the ride! Her motto is "It's not a good night out unless you end the night getting arrested". Although without her the hen weekend would be a lot calmer, the memories would never be the same without her!
