A hen do, also known as a bachelorette party, is a celebration held for a woman who is about to get married. It's typically organized by the bride's friends or bridesmaids, and it's an opportunity for the bride to spend time with her closest female friends and family members before her wedding day.

Hen dos often involve various activities and traditions, such as going out for drinks or dinner, dancing, playing games, and possibly taking a trip or going on a weekend getaway. The specific activities can vary widely depending on the preferences of the bride and her friends.

Some hen dos also involve dressing up in matching outfits or costumes, and the party may include decorations such as balloons, banners, and other festive items.

Hen dos are a fun way to celebrate the bride-to-be and to create lasting memories with her friends and loved ones.
