Getting married soon? Then you need to know about hen, stag, sten, hag and fox parties!

The traditional "dos" held for men and women about to get married - a stag (or bachelor) party for the groom and a hen (or bachelorette) party for the bride -  are being transformed and rebranded.

Now introducing… the sten, the hag, and the fox party......

 

Sten Party

A combined stag and hen do, a sten party allows both the bride and groom to celebrate with friends prior to their wedding. Sten party celebrations often incorporate activities with a night out and work well when couples have a lot of mutual friends.



Hag Party

A hag party is another term for a sten party, combining the terms stag and hen. It’s commonly associated with gay and lesbian couples. 

 

Fox party

This is simply a gender-neutral term for either a stag or a hen party.



 

Because, when you think about it, it makes a lot of sense to have one party rather than two:

 

Budget

Combining the budgets means you can go for something a little more luxurious. Otherwise, you can substantially reduce expenses by, for example, booking just one venue and sharing accommodation - great for the wallet! 

Fun

Relax with your best friends without having to worry about what your other half is up to. What’s more, the wedding day itself can be so busy with family, leaving the couple little time to spend individually with friends.

Memories

The build-up to the wedding can be stressful, so having some memorable pre-wedding chill-out time is a real bonus!

Time

Doing your pre-wedding bonding with your besties all in one go is time-efficient for both of you.
