hen party
Pre-wedding girls' night
A hen party is a celebration for a woman about to be married, typically organized by her female friends and involving a night out or weekend away.
The British equivalent of American bachelorette party.
We're planning a hen party in Brighton next month.
The term comes from hen as informal British slang for a woman.
