Emma's Hen Party - Day Three

So in this post, I explained what the Hen Party was all about, and how well day one went, and then I shared day two with you. Now we're onto day three! Here we go...

After the busy day the day before, I'd managed to sleep for 9 hours straight, and woke up while everyone was already having breakfast! I got myself dressed and ready, and then helped clean the kitchen before we all had to start packing up! We had to leave the house by midday, so we spent an hour all rushing to pack and tidy up the house!

Pretty much everyone left between 11:30 and midday, so all that was left were the family members, the bride herself, Alice S and myself. Once everyone else had departed, our little eight member group headed back to the car to put away all our things, before we headed back to the beach and pier for our day out!

It was so hot along the coast, and I seriously regretting wearing jeans! We walked along the seafront to the pier and then headed inside to play in the arcade. Between all of us, we managed to get just over 500 arcade tickets - 120 for Emma to use for the Wedding, 30 for me to scrapbook with and a few other spares were left for the other girls - and then we managed to get a few more and eventually had 406 to get a prize with! Emma picked out some Brighton shot glasses, so we got five of these so five of us could have them!

Then Alice O, Emma, Vicky and Kelly had a go on the dance mat inside the arcade, before we headed back out into the sunshine for a walk onto the beach!

We picked up some chips from a nearby shop and sat on their decking to eat them, while watching some kids try out the Human Catapult fun fair 'ride' next to us. They were all screaming and we spent most of the time watching them all in fear of their lives!!

After this, we walked along the promenade and peeked into some shops, before stopping at a vendor and getting some doughnuts to go and sit on the beach with. We spent about an hour sat on the pebbles, watching the waves coming in and relaxing in the sunshine!

We then all headed back to the cars so we could quickly go to Kelly and Fitz's house, so we could have a quick drink and drop Kelly back before heading home. Thankfully we didn't hit a lot of traffic, and I was home by eight in the evening - with sunburn!

And that's it for the final day of the Hen Party!! And, if you've not watch it yet, here is the vlog from the whole weekend, including the Bollywood dancing from day two, if you want to have a giggle at it!



Hope you enjoyed a little peek into what we got up to in day three, and have enjoyed the posts about the great weekend we had! And thank you to everyone who's watched the vlog so far! Hope you have a great day and keep safe :)

Emma's Hen Party - Day Two

So in this post, I explained what the Hen Party was all about, and how well day one went. Now we're onto day two! Here we go...

After our 1am bedtime after all the games we played. I had such a hard time sleeping. I have insomnia anyway and being in a new bed always gives me issues! I finally fell asleep at 5:45-ish and woke back up about 7:30am... Not a great amount of sleep, but I had to do.

I quickly got up to shower and then joined the rest of the girls a bit late for breakfast as I ended up sat in my bedroom on twitter for a bit longer than I should have!! After breakfast, we just hung out in our rooms for a little while anyone who needed showers could do so - and then we all had to get into 'clothes we could move in'. All we had known at the time was that it was a dance class and then Alice S informed us it would be a Bollywood class! I was a little excited but also super nervous.

We all got changed and then walked down the seafront to the Brighton Hotel to take the class. The teacher was super lovely (sadly I don't know her name!) and she never made us do anything solo - which was my main worry. It was a total group dance and was so much fun. She made us all feel at ease. We managed the whole routine in just over an hour and we asked her to film it, which you can see in the vlog at the end of this post!

After the class, we returned for a quick lunch at the house. It was a large salad and nibbly bits - my fave!! It was then a quick change and then into our teams for a treasure hunt around Brighton. Courtesy of Black Cat Treasure Hunts, you simply followed the direction and answered the questions for points. The team with the most points at the end would win.

We started outside the Hilton Hotel on the sea front, and then went from there in our teams. It took us about 2 hours as we set a time limit, but you could take a bit longer and maybe try 3, which would have been better. Along with the 20 odd questions, there were bonus ones, such as: get 20+ people to do a Mexican Wave, take a video of your group in the sea, etc. A lot of the questions required you to take pictures to prove points, and some of the pictures and videos we took were hilarious!

My team with Kelly, Alice O and Fiona, sadly came last, but we had so much fun - and it's a really great way to see parts of Brighton that you may not see usually. We got lost a dozen times, but Google Maps aided us!

Once back home, Alice S and Fiona whipped up a large pasta dinner for us while we all got into dancing/clubbing outfits for later. We all had dinner and then took a lot of pictures of us all in the living area before we had a pretty awesome Wine Tasting evening in the kitchen from a company that specializes in wines. The man (Flemick??) who gave the class was really good and funny - and even joined in the semi-drunk Brexit debate that suddenly happened sometime around the third wine! I was on my medication so couldn't drink, but they all sounded interesting and was amusing to see everyone reactions to the tastes.

After the wine tasting, everyone except myself, Vix, Lisa and Kerry went out clubbing. By the time they all left, it was 10:30pm and I was exhausted after no sleep and the busy day we'd had. I took the time to pinch a quick shower and then we all had some chocolate and went to bed! I vaguely remember hearing Alice O and Kelly coming back into our room at about 2am, but I slept all the way through to 9am the next morning - ready for day three!

And that's it again for another day of the Hen Party!! Just one more to go! And here is the vlog from the whole weekend, including the Bollywood dancing, if you want to have a giggle at it!



Hope you enjoyed a little peek into what we got up to in day two, and watch out for day three soon! And thank you to everyone who's watched the vlog so far! Hope you have a great day and keep safe :)

Emma's Hen Party - Day One

On July 1st, I embarked on a weekend to Brighton, to have some fun at Emma's Hen Party! Emma is Cameron's older sister for those of you who don't know!

The planning was started by her bridesmaids, Alice S and Zoe, about 10 months ago! I agreed to go and I was super nervous the whole time while it was being organised and arranged! I'd essentially signed up to 3 days with my brand new boyfriend's family and a dozen of Emma's friends, after only dating him for a few months! I've thankfully got to know his relatives over the past year which helped a lot over the weekend - plus I now feel a lot calmer and laid back around them! Over the 3 days I got to spend with everyone, I had a really good time - despite making myself super sick for the days running up to it with a few mini panic attacks!

As I was so excited about the whole thing at the start of the year, I wanted to share some pictures of the weekend with you guys, and I'll do a post for each day, as we were super busy all weekend! So let's kick off day one!

We stayed in an Air B'n'B style house in Brighton, called 'West Pier House' and is big enough for 20 people! It had 4 bedrooms, 2 and a half bathrooms and a super gorgeous kitchen and living area. I loved that we were able to get 15 of us inside the house and was much more relaxing than a hotel!

Alice S and Zoe had decorated the place so nice, with blue balloons and  white balloons with confetti in them, cakes made of sweets and drinks were all set out before we drove the Bride To Be down there!

I was sharing a room on the top floor with Vicky, Alice O and Kelly, who are Cameron's cousins and all sisters. I was so happy I was in the same room as the three of them as I've met them all a few times before and it definitely stopped me panicking so much. Plus I got to see how Vicky made her hair all wavy, so I learnt a new method!

Alice S had also cooked a huge pot of Chili and rice for our dinner - yes for 15 people! - and it was so delicious! The bridesmaids had also made little 'hen party survival' gift bags for each of us. Inside was a few goodies such as sweets, party poppers, a bride tribe badge Alice had made, and other little items! It was such a good idea and I used a lot of my items!

After dinner, we all changed into PJ's to play some games such as Mobsters, a mystery present game and a classic - toilet paper wedding dresses! I was on a team with Kelly & Alice O and Fiona, who is married into the same family that Emma is joining! I loved our little team - Team 2 - or as we were named: 'Super Awesome Unicorn Glitter!' We came second in the dress contest after making over Alice with what we all thought, was a classic dress!

We made it until 1am and then called it a night! I sadly only slept for an hour and a bit, but I was still refreshed enough for day 2...! Which I shall tell you about in another post!




Hope you enjoyed a little peek into what we got up to in day one! If you want to see what else we got up to (plus the other 2 days!) then have a look at the Hen Party weekend vlog I've uploaded for you! Hope you have a great day and keep safe :)
