Welcome to the Hen Night HQ blog

 We picked up a copy of this week's Heat Magazine (as us girls do) and we were pretty chuffed to find this photo spread of Michelle Heaton's hen night featuring products stocked here at Hen Night HQ!

 We at Hen Night HQ know the importance of making your Hen Night as relevant to your interests and particular tastes as possible is a top priority. Looking and feeling fantastic in your ensemble is top of the agenda and when it comes to themes, we're always searching for new ideas to make your party go with a bang. We're therefore pleased to launch our new range of DC Comics Superheroine costumes and accessories.

Getting into the team colours can be both fun and beneficial on a Hen Night.

Most women don't need an excuse to pull out every lotion, potion and product they own to prepare for a party and it's our duty as beautiful, sexy girls to show the world how it's done because, after all, playing dress up is what we do best.

A theme can also be a safe way to ensure that a party that heads out together stays together; a 'man down' is hard to miss if she's dressed as a giant bumble bee.

Residents in Edinburgh are all a flutter over hen and stag night parties, so much so that they're hoping to get them banned from the city (Edinburgh Stag And Hen Parties Could Be Banned In Crackdown)!

According to reports, residents in the city centre are launching a petition to enforce controls on landlords who rent out 'party flats' in the capital (Neighbours beg MSPs for crackdown on party flats), to cut down on 'anti-social behaviour'.

The Scottish Government seems unswayed by the complaints at the moment, but it's worth checking the current situation before you book, especially if you're thinking of renting a city centre property.

Do your bit to enforce good behavior on your hen night with this fabulous Fever Sexy Cop Dress, or make a heavenly impression with our bargain Angel Dress and Halo Costume.

Calling all brides-to-be. If you fancy a truly traditional wedding, then don't forget to don a blue dress and have a cake made of meat!

As The Mirror explains (The history of weddings: The first dress was blue and the cake made of meat!), it's actually Queen Victoria we have to thank for white wedding dresses, and diamond company De Beers for introducing engagement rings.

Rather than ditch your white dress, why not keep tradition with a sexy blue garter. As well as being perfect to show off in photos, you can also save it as a surprise for your groom.

You can share the ring fun with your guests too with these 12 Luxury Engagement Ring Decorations. Not quite De Beers, but eye-catching and a great conversation starter all the same!
