<br />
A '''Bachelorette Party''' (known as a '''Hen Night''' in the UK, Ireland, and Australia) is a celebration held for a woman who is about to get married. These events are often seen as a counterpart to a [[Bachelor party|stag night]] and vary greatly in their nature and activities.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
While [[Beth Montemurro]] suggests that the bachelorette party in the US is modelled after the centuries-old stag night, [[Sheila Young]] argues that its British counterpart, the hen night, evolved from pre-wedding traditions for women like Ribbon Girl, Pay Off, and Jumping the Chanty, with origins dating back at least a century in UK factories and offices.<br />
<br />
==Nature of Celebrations==<br />
Despite its reputation for debauchery, bachelorette parties and hen nights can range from wild parties to simple gatherings. The nature of these celebrations varies widely depending on cultural norms and personal preferences.<br />
<br />
==Cultural Variations==<br />
Different cultures have various traditions and customs for these pre-wedding celebrations. In the UK, it's often known as a hen night, while in the US, it's referred to as a bachelorette party. <br />
<br />
==Modern Trends==<br />
Modern bachelorette parties and hen nights often include activities like spa days, weekend getaways, or nights out in the town.<br />
