The Last Night Of Freedom
The hen party has its roots in older days when the last night before the wedding was a good chance for the bride to say her farewell to her family and childhood friends.
Back then, after marriage, women left their parents' homes and moved in their husbands' parents homes or in a home that they both built for themselves.
That is why this night remained a very emotional event which couldn't be ignored.
Nowadays, future brides are still honored, but in a more modern way.
This is the direct consequence of the sexual revolution and of the way things have changed, at least in the last century.
The bride's maid or one of her good friends usually throws a party either at her place or in a club or restaurant.
There are also different ways of celebrating this night like having a themed party, going to a spa or spending a weekend with the girls on a cruise ship.
Although the hen party is also called the last night of freedom, this should be understood in the right way.
In modern days, women, married or not married, are free to go out for a cup of coffee with their friends, or to dance in the clubs until the morning.
That is why you should refrain from doing things that you might regret later just because you imagine that your freedom in over.
Instead, you should take advantage of this opportunity to say goodbye to your childhood.
For that reason you could decide to paint your face, play funny games or wear a short fancy dress.
You could go in a club on another occasion, but it is less likely to have the chance of having a pajama party with your best friends.
If that is fun for you then choose as location your own home, ask the girls to bring their pajamas, prepare cookies and a special cocktail and enjoy the party.
Pillow fighting is not forbidden, especially after you finish going though all your photo albums and gossiping with the guests.
The last night of freedom should be the party where you could feel as if you were fifteen again, you were in love with the posters on your wall and felt like the world was at your feet.
Freedom is worth honoring, but they say that nowadays women and men don't lose theirs after marriage.
