The Art Of The Hen Party

No Glee re-cap today, as I missed last night's episode because I threw a terrific hen party last night at my house. Throwing the proper hen party needs a few key elements, and it's quite simple really, if you incorporate them in the proper order.



For starters, you need to determine the hen party's reason.

1. fun, drunkenness, party celebration


2. food, drunkenness, shopping

Other than those reasons stated above, there is really no other IMPORTANT reason for a bunch of cackling hens to get together for a party. The first key ingredient is as follows, and if it is not a part of the equation, the hens will not follow: WINE. And lots of it. You boys like your brews and your lagers, we girls love the vino. Nothing makes us happier or warm and fuzzier.

*fellas-most definitely address your amorous significant other after a night out drinking wine with the girls.

Food would have to be second on the list. It's essential, but the hostess need not go crazy. Nuts, cheese & crackers, chips and dip and some sort of chocolate are all that is needed. The hens will graze, because they didn't eat dinner, because they knew they were coming to a party, and get tipsy while nibbling on finger foods. (all more reason to go home feeling a little frisky) I made a fabulous sugar-free Strawberry shortcake last night. It was a big hit.

Last there needs to shopping. Nothing satisfies a bunch of cackling hens than therapy. RETAIL THERAPY. There are jewelry parties, Tupperware parties, cook ware parties, handbag and accessories trunk shows, etc. The thrill of the get, is what makes up giddy with pleasure. Drink, eat, and shop, and I know I could die a happy woman. Throw in a small amount of gossip and your hen party is complete.

In the end the hens all go home to their coop, content and satisfied. Mission accomplished.
