Hen party is an original party which require some expenses on costumes, drinks at the bars and night clubs. How to save some money on hen do, but still make it meaningful and one to be remembered for an entire life? Girls just need to be creative a little and the bride and all maids and friends will have something to remember and tell to others.
Here is a simple hen party idea which will not cost anything – the soap opera video about the bride’s life.
All the girls are beautiful and would love to be models surrounded by the paparazzis and photographers taking pictures of every their step, glance, movement of hair. Imagine, that bride is a celebrity and all the other participants – paparazzis. All they need is take their simple photo, video cameras or smartphones and take pictures and videos of every step since hen night beginning to the end.
How to make that home movie about the bride’s hard life? In the beginning of the hen party, girls should decide what characters they will act. Then go to streets and film every motion, every step from different angles. If the hen party is inside, it can be even more fun. All the participants try to improvise like in sitcom about bride’s life before the wedding. You should tell the story from the beginning – how she got in love, met her boyfriend, sacrificed her life to him etc. Just pretend actors and film directors and it will be fun for a few hours. Have some drinks to relieve the stress in front of camera. Simple trick – try to film bride’s version of the story and Friends’ version (people see things better from the side). Do not be too frank as next day may be catastrophic.
Next day all participants can gather at someones place with the cameras and computers and collect all the videos and pictures. If you are using Windows, you will need to download the “Live Movie Maker” software. iMovie is the best software for Macs, so make sure you have it. This software does not require any big skills for video editing. To save some time, please get some consulting from your geeky friends who can teach you some tricks how to edit the video. Hopefully 1 day will be enough for reviewing all the videos and putting the most impressive ones to 1 piece. When the video is done, please record it to DVD and give as a gift to all participants of the party.
This hen party idea will cost as much your photo and video camera’s batteries you will need to buy for the entire party. Professional video shooter will cost you much more.
