Hen Party Survival Kit Tips!!

Here at Bijoux HQ, we have decided to put together the Tools & Tips for you to put together a nice Hen Party Survival Kit for your Hens!

1) A miniature bottle of Bubbly (or a large bottle)
          Every girl needs a few glasses of bubbly on the day of the hen party while your getting ready.  Most Brides-to-be will be stressed with the upcoming nuptials and the arrangements so a little tipple is perfect to get the mood a little more relaxed

2) Hair Grips
          Its amazing what these wonderful things can be used for - if any of you are like me they are scattered across my house hidden in all corners.

3) Plasters
          No doubt someone is going to fall over and graze their knee - so a plaster defiantly is going to come in handy.

3) Paracetamol
          For the morning after - with the bride-to-be and her hens with a banging head, you will defiantly need a couple of these in the morning.  Paracetamol does wonders for a hangover in the morning.

4) Lip Balm
         For the bride-to-be to keep kissable lips throughout the evening and the next day. 

5) A Bottle of Water
         To try and avoid that dreaded hangover - get the bride-to-be to drink it before she goes to bed.  Alcohol makes the body dehydrated so it requires water

So whether you want to organise a night on the town or something alternative like a dance hen party the above items will help any bride-to-be on their hen night. 

If you need any other advice on activities or hen party survival tips - then please contact us and we will be more happy to help.

Hen Parties are booming in the UK Capital!!

The UK Capital City of London is famous for many things.. The Queen Lives there for one, although I don't think you would see her with the other 100 ladies celebrating the last night of freedom with a hen night in London.

London is is large, vibrant, intense and full of life at all hours of the day. It is packed full of activities for you to do on your hen weekend. London never sleeps so why should you on your hen weekend!


Check your bank balances ladies London is full of shops to tempt your shopaholic tenancies  head down to Oxford Street to check out top-shop, H&M and Zara.  If you are looking for something a little more sophisticated and guaranteed to cost the earth visit Bond Street or for those looking for clothes that are one off's but do not cost the earth visit Camden Market or Brick Lane.
London is full of bars with a bar type to suit everyone's taste, from the chain names such as Slug and Lettuce to up market cocktail bars and nightclubs. Whisky Mist is where royalty and celebs hang out, fingers crossed you might even get to see Prince Harry. The West End is where the majority of tourists hit on a night out, you can barely walk 2 metres without falling into a bar.

So Why don't you and your girls hit Leicester Square for a dance hen party and a meal, few drinks in a cocktail bar to kick off the weekend of your hen night. 

Dance Hen Parties were very popular in London this year and I predict them to boom in 2016, so whether you wanted have a laugh at an 80's party, go back in time and be a flapper girl with a Charleston Party or bring out the sexy minx we all have inside with a Burlesque Dance Class.  We have a dance hen party to suit all personalities. 

Not only do Bijoux HQ provide amazingly fun dance classes but we can organise for your hair and make up to be done to suit your favourite vintage style and why not add a photographer in the mix and pose and pout for a shoot

As mentioned earlier, London was soo popular this year and dates are getting booked up fast for next year.  So do not delay in getting your party booked. Please contact us or give me a call and we can discuss which party would be perfect for your bride to be!

Bijoux Top Tips to Throwing an Amazing Hen Party!!!

So Here at Bijoux HQ, I have put together some amazing top tips to throwing an amazing hen party with the help of Cosmopolitan. 
1. Choose a creative party theme
Skip the penis straws and strippers (unless that’s what she specifically wants) and go for a theme she’s never heard of before and will LOVE. We rate glamping, an old school slumber party, dance hen party or vintage makeover Photo shoot. (Sneak in some sparkling and you’re good to go!)
2. Don’t leave things to the last minute
It may seem super obvious but things can really start to suck (fast) if you don’t have some serious party plans set in concrete early. A month to six weeks before the big day is best. This way you won’t interfere with her pre-wedding diet/gym routine or catch her during any intense pre-wedding jitters. Especially don't leave booking the activities to the last minute, you don't want to be disappointed when things that the bride wants to do it fully booked. 
3. Be sensitive to people’s budgets
Weddings are ex-pen-sive so make sure you get the go ahead from everyone before you pick super pricey activities (lucky for you, all of Bijoux activities are very reasonable priced). They’re probably paying for a lot of wedding-related gear already (especially if they’re a bridesmaid) and you don’t want to wear all the cost yourself after people who can’t afford it drop out.
4. Don’t make the bride pay for anything
Split the costs across everyone, or just the bridesmaids, but whatever you work out, she should not be footing the bill. If you book one of our dance hen parties the bride will go free with a party of 12 or more, so no need to worry the other hens about splitting the cost for the bride. 
5. Get the guest list from her
Check in with the bride-to-be about her must have guest list. Some may be keen to include family (particularly the groom’s) and others may prefer just the girls. Either way, checking with her is sure to save your some major awkwardness.  Why don't you have a Vintage Photo shoot including the mother of the bride during the day and then have a raunchy Burlesque Dance Hen Party in the evening when the "oldens" have gone home.  That way everyone is included.
6. Surprise her
Even if she’s keen to be included on every last detail, save at least one little thing as a surprise. It will be way more fun that way!
7. Wear special outfits
You’ve all seen those fun (or cringe-worthy) tattoos and sashes. Even if that’s not usually your style, this is the night to go for it! And here at Bijoux, we love when our hens dress up for the occasion depending on the theme of their party.  There’ll probably be some free drinks in it if you do – barmen love a hen party! 
8. Have a photo booth
Setting up a photo booth is a great way to get tons of great pics of the bride with all her friends. We can set up a photoshoot with a professional photographer and send you a box dressing up clothes and props :) Perfectly fun and entertaining afternoon.
9. Make a momento
It’s always a good idea to have all of the guests to contribute something for the bride to keep. Get the girls to bring a photo of themselves with the bride-to-be to stick in a memory book with a little caption about how much they love her.
10. Sign up to learn a new skill
Sounds boring, doesn’t have to be. Pole dancing, Swinging the roaring 20's with Charleston Dancing, cocktail making, life drawing, Patrick-Swayze-in-Dirty-Dancing, as long as you’re with an awesome group of girls and there are bubbles on hand – this stuff is fun as hell.  And these dancing skills learned from our dance hen parties can be a great wedding surprise to the groom and the rest of the guests. 
11. Take some pressure off
Assign each person of the hen party to organise something different if you are having a range of activities, or if you really have a busy life then use Bijoux Hen Parties for a couple of the activites and we can also organise meal reservations, night club entry etc
So whether you would like a dance hen party, or something a bit different, please contact Bijoux Hen Parties as we would love to help you arrange the best night of the brides life :)

Sporting a gorgeous wedding gown, garter and veil she is spotted taking snaps with her friends.

The mum of one got engaged to the lovely James Sutton just before Christmas last year, but having to push their wedding back due to Katie's health, but this hasn't stopped her having a ball at her hen do.

It seems as if the couple don’t need to tie the knot to know that their relationship is for keeps, however.
In her book, Beautiful Ever After, Katie opened up about the couple's relationship, and revealed how she knew James was the one because he helped care for her while she was recovering from an operation at the very start of their romance.

"All this at the stage when you're supposed to be wearing matching underwear… But honestly, he did not care," she wrote. "So after it all healed, I was like, 'Wow, this guy is definitely not shallow.'
"I knew right then I could let myself fall in love with him because he would never hurt me intentionally."

So if you are looking for something different to do on your hen party, why don't you contact Bijoux Hen Parties to see what we can do for you! Or Visit our Website www.bijouxhenparties.co.uk to have a look at our packages.

Cute & Stylish Charleston Ladies!!

So this week at Bijoux HQ we had some lovely feedback from one of the parties from the Saturday before.  Not only did the Brides Sister left some feedback but the bride to be send me a lovely email this week. 

Dot - the bride didn't know what she was doing until the night before her party and her Sister rang her to tell her to get her best 1920's outfit out :)

The lovely ladies had a brilliant time at the Charleston Dance Class following with a Vintage Tea Party with Cocktails & Cupcakes


They all look so good :) and happy.

"I had such an amazing time at the Charleston Hen Party. I had no idea what my sister had planned for me until the night before, when she called and told me to get a 1920s themed outfit ready for the next day... the moment she said it I was so excited, and when we arrived at the dance class I was absolutely thrilled. The class was so much fun and everyone was having such a laugh from the very start. There were a few people in the party who had never met each other before and it was the perfect way to break the ice. Our teacher was brilliant, the dance moves were really fun to learn (especially the lifts!) and we've got some hilarious photos and videos of our final 'performance' which were great to watch back. Thank you for such a super experience, I'll definitely be recommending you!"

I am so happy that you all had a brilliant time.
