hen night ideas

Not sure if this is the right place to post but we are going to Dublin for my friends hen night and I was wondering if anyone had a different or unusual ideas?

I've read in a magazine (not sure which one) about having dinner (small snack food) off a half naked guy, but have forgotten where I read this and have no look finding anything on the internet. If anyone has heard of this and has any links etc I would be grateful or any other ideas?

Thanks

    What sort of crowd are you going with? A friend of mine went on a hen weekend where they were all given eggs to wear in egg cups around their necks during the dinner (as they are HENS geddit?!).. I think some were hard boiled and some weren't...

    We gave another of my friends a list of dares she had to complete before the weekend was over - things like kissing a policeman; getting men to sign their names on her skin (anywhere she fancied) etc etc. It does depend on how brave the girls are really!

    enjoy it

    Thanks for the replies so far. There will be seven or eight of us although i don't really know the others that well as they are her work friends. Think most of them are quite normal, maye a couple that are a bit wilder!! Some of them were thinking fancy dress but it was decided on all black with a few bits of hen decoration just in case we can't get in bars/clubs. We are going early in the morning (with t-shirts printed for the flight), staying the night and going back the night afternoon. We were originally thinking of going out for food and then drinking in the evening. I thought maybe a limo to take us out but I want to arrange something a little different, interesting (but not excessively wild!!). Any other suggestions gratefully appreciated.

    I only had one dare on my hen night and that was to collect mens underwear. My friends tied a length of rope around my waist and I had to ask guys if they would give me their underwear and if they said they weren't wearing any I had to make sure ;) I got quite a few pairs, some went to the loo's to take them off, some just stripped there and then and handed them over :eek: It was a good laugh but the rope got a bit heavy towards the end of the night.
