A winter wedding
My big sister is getting married in December, of all months. I think it is a nice idea to get married in the winter, as this time of year is very inspirational for a lot of different colour schemes and decoration themes. I'm not sure about the decor that she's having at her wedding, as she is keeping it a secret from everyone! Because the weddings is in the UK and it is likely to be cold, maybe even snow, (that would be nice) my sister decided that we should have her hen weekend abroad and go for somewhere hot.

Tenerife here we come
So last week we all packed our bags and set off to Tenerife. The weather there is lovely all year round so it was the perfect choice to get a bit of sunshine, but is also known as a place that can be good for partying so is perfect for a hen party. We did have to fly a little longer to get some winter sun; the flight time to Tenerife is around 4 and a half hours, compared to the usual trip to Spain which is around 1 and a half hours.

The Day time hen party activity
We wanted to make the most of our time in Tenerife as we were only there for 3 nights, so we allowed 1 day for sunbathing, 1 day for being adventurous and 1 day for being hungover after the hen party night. Our adventurous day was a catamaran cruise, with food and drinks included. It was a fantastic trip in the gorgeous sunshune, sipping sparkling wine on the deck and looking out for dolphins. We sadly didn't see any dolphins, but we did see some flying fish, which until now I was convinced were a real thing!

The night time hen party activity
After we got back from our 3 hour catamaran cruise, we head off to a bar where we had managed to get a late night VIP package with a banner and balloons to help us celebrate and embarrass my sister! We enjoyed the bar, and then head off t a night club, where we had a VIP table booked. Thank goodness we had the table as somewhere to sit down, because after a few shots and a good hour of dancing some of us were feeling a little worse for wear! Thank goodness also that we had saved one of our days for being hungover too, as one or two of the girls were a little bit unwell......

And now for the stag party
We had a really great time at my sister's hen party, although she did miss her fiance quite a lot while we were away. Unfortunately he is about to head off to Las Vegas for his stag party so she'll have to miss him all over again, but after that they will be married and get to spend the rest of their lives together so I am sure she will manage a few days.
