Hen’s & Buck’s Parties

November 6th, 2011

Hen’s and Buck’s Parties are the done thing for couples getting married. It’s the last hoorah with your individual friends before settling down as a couple and doing things together. I attended a friend’s hen’s night after a long time and it was good FUN with the girls!   I had forgotten the joy a topless hot, young male waiter and some funky moves can bring to a gathering of ladies, whether you are married, single, a mum or in between. There’s also a hen’s cake to be cut by the bride – that’s something new for me.  Never mind the shape, it was tasty with creamy icing. I am not saying no to a good delicious chocolate cake.  All good nights involving dancing and music and I believe that’s how this one ended.

There are some hen’s who like to keep it classy.  That’s perfectly fine too. It can be a bit expensive with activities if guests are asked to pay but its different. There are so many options from weekend aways to classes of all sorts – cooking, painting, pole dancing!  And for real nerdy girls, there’s computer games parties and massage for pamper princesses.

Buck’s parties -  Well in the main, I think its’s the guys that are getting tamer these days with more male group bonding activities and ditching the female clubs and strippers. I guess it maybe a case of been there, done that so let’s do something different for a change. Bring on the paint ball and laser skirmishes, fishing trips, boys weekend away of go carting, race driving and anything dirty and filthy. Let’s get real, this is our last chance before the lady of our homes and hearts starts planning our days and starts telling what we have scheduled for the weekend. And ladies we do this, we know it!

How early should you start planning your wedding?

November 1st, 2011

You are engaged?  Now what? Family and friends are asking for the wedding date and you just want to enjoy being engaged.

So when you do you start planning your wedding.  Firstly, RELAX.  Enjoy being engaged for a week or two.

Then consider what you and your partner want and more importantly your BUDGET.  Planning a wedding with a budget in mind will not only narrow down your search of suppliers and venues but also save many arguments and tension with loved ones. More couples are deciding to get married sooner rather than later with more spontaniety.

How many guests do you and your families want to invite?   There is a direct correlation between number of guests and budget.  Also, are you inviting children, remember in some cultures and families its considered rude to exclude children.

So when should you start planning your wedding? Answer at www.facebook.com/OZShaadi
