Why Hens Have Become Birds Of Paradise

L Plates No longer Apply as the ladies look to specialist upmarket Hen Party organisers

Fairy wings, L Plates, smeared mascara, tears and memory loss all constitute the traditional Hen Night but not all so-called ‘Hens’ wish to mark the end of their singledom in such a way. There’s a new type of Hen in town – the discerning type – a bird of paradise – who wants to celebrate her forthcoming nuptials in a way that is truly memorable and special.

With meticulously planned weddings costing £16,000 on average that are followed by an equally well thought out honeymoon, why not make the pre-wedding gathering a real occasion as well?

Birds of Paradise want their ‘Hen’ celebrations to be more than just a glorified ‘girls night out’ and this is why so many of them are turning to companies like Adventure Connections, which was set-up in 2000 to provide an upmarket service to UK stags and hens.

Adventure Connections has an established sister company called Corporate Connections that provides top level corporate entertainment and teambuilding activities and it’s experience here has really influenced how its Stag and Hen Party organisation is run.

“We pride ourselves on the level of personal service we offer,” says Adventure Connections. “We offer high quality packages as well as tailor-made ones and much of what we offer we have road-tested ourselves. When Hens talk to us about the type of activities and entertainment they want for their special weekend we are really well placed to make sure what we have certainly meets and often exceeds their expectations.”

Birds of Paradise have a huge amount of choice in how they want to spend time together. For the adventurous and sporty there’s water-based activities including windsurfing, sailing, powerboats, yacht charters and racing; country pursuits such as archery, polo lessons & clay pigeon shooting; treasure hunts.

For those who really want to learn some moves there’s a whole host of dance lessons on offer from the burlesque through to cheerleading and Bollywood.

And for those who quite like the idea of life in the spotlight why not record your own pop video or pop song? A lasting memento of time well spent with friends at a very special time in your life.

“The traditional Hen Party has evolved significantly,”
“It has grown in stature and its meaning has shifted. In reflection of this groups want to try out new and exciting activities together that are out of the norm to really create a memorable time. They come to us because we have the knowledge and expertise to help make this happen.”
