The Top Irish Hen And Stag Activities Have Been Revealed (And They Might Surprise You)

Katie Mythen-Lynch

Everyone knows the most important part of being maid of honour is the planning and execution of the world’s best hen party. 

Unless you all met on the school hockey team or share an appreciation for charcoal sketching however, choosing an activity guaranteed to entertain everyone on the trip (from the bride’s granny to her teetotal colleague) is a challenge indeed.

While each stag and hen party is unique, we can all agree on these three things: the activity must be out of the ordinary (hint: not shopping); it can’t be too cheesy (nobody wants to make a hat or paint watercolours); and it must involve everybody.

Freaking out? Fear not.
