Should I have a Stenparty (or Henstag)?

But first of all we should explain exactly what a ‘Stenparty/’Henstag’ is for those of you who have never heard of it. A Sten do is a gender neutral version of a ‘hen’ or ‘stag’ do. The couple may decide that they will forego separate hen or stag do’s and instead come together for one big party.

Traditionally stag and hen nights have been an all-male or all-female gathering to celebrate an engaged waving goodbye to their life as a single person. This tradition of a ‘stag-do’ has been around since Ancient Greek times and the ‘hen-parties’ came about in the 19th century. There are a few advantages of having a ‘Sten-do’ or ‘Sten-party’ for example:

● Share the Cost - Rather than two expensive weekends, everyone can pool their resources for one massive weekend to remember.

● A Proper Party - Weddings are a mix of different ages and family members. A Sten Party will give the younger members of the wedding party the chance to let their hair down and celebrate the couple’s upcoming big day

● Stag and hen celebrations can be be a cause for concern with the couple worrying about what is happening at each others ‘stag’ or ‘hen’ do’s. Having a joint Sten Party means no fretting. Win win for everyone involved.
