hen nights

Bride's last fling

Hen nights are all-female celebrations held before a wedding, honoring the bride-to-be.

The term is primarily British; Americans say bachelorette party.

Activities typically include drinking, dancing, and rituals designed to embarrass the bride.

The hen night got wild after the third round of shots.

The male equivalent is a stag night.
