Blue skies, the sun is shining, t-shirt weather all around – spring is finally here! With such nice temperatures, you also see far more people on the streets enjoying the sun, as if the world suddenly came to life again. And among the girls shopping for spring clothes, boys playing football and families going out for ice cream, there are also roaming groups of maybe 5 to 10 men or women, all dressed in funny t-shirts, laughing loud and having fun. Well, can you guess what I am talking about? Exactly – wedding season has started and so has the time for hen nights and stag parties.
I have taken part in a hen night, too – last summer, a week before my wedding. I was so nervous before it started! In Germany it is common to play silly games with the bride, to make her wear strange outfits and to have her sell junk to strangers out of a vendor’s tray. I didn’t really want any of this stuff, especially wearing a bunny costume or something similar would have been a definite no go. But thanks to my great friends who organised the hen night, there was no need to be afraid, my hen night was great and so were our outfits. Of course, we had hen party t-shirts from Spreadshirt as you can see here:
Our wedding’s theme was “Royal Wedding”, that’s why my shirt says “Princess Victoria is getting married”. I loved it! And I also loved the whole day my friends had organised. We went on a “world tour” through our city, and every station we went to symbolised another country, where I had to experience typical wedding traditions from that country or continent. So, we went to “Europe”, symbolised by a park, where we ate a typical wedding cake and I threw a bouquet made of spring flowers. Among others, we also visited the United States, symbolised by the city’s tower (looking a little bit like the Empire State Building) and South America aka a club playing Latin music, where we danced all night and had a lot of fun.
All in all it was a really great day and I enjoyed it to the fullest. And what about you? What would be a typical hen or stag night tradition for your country, family or friends? Maybe you are getting married this year and you’re already afraid of the crazy costume you might have to wear? Well, why don’t you give your friends some helpful advice: Get your outfits from Spreadshirt! You can find some inspiration on our pages for hen night t-shirts or stag night t-shirts or you can just create your own in the designer. Either way, with this piece of advice you can make sure that you won’t have to run around in a bunny costume on your hen party 😉
