The biggest difference between hen parties and stag parties is that hen parties are celebrated by women and stag parties are celebrated by men. The rest of the differences between hen parties and stag parties will vary in degree, depending upon the nature of the party. For instance, many hen and stag parties may take place at the same locations, but will often include male strippers versus female strippers.
Also, if it is a more feminine-oriented female party there may be more pampering activities that may take place, such as visiting a spa where party-goers can receive a massage. Another big difference is that perhaps a female hen party may include a pajama party, which would normally not take place at a stag party. However, if women do not necessarily want a traditionally feminine hen party, their parties may possibly consist of exactly the same elements as a man’s stag party. For instance, many women enjoy water sports such as windsurfing, or they may like to swim.
Perhaps these women would also like to go hiking as well. They may also want to visit various historical sites. Many men participate in the same activities, so in this case the only difference may be in the clothes that the men or women would wear, and other minor distinquishments between the sexes. If one is going to describe actual differences between all-male or all-female parties there could be quite a few common misconceptions or stereotypes. For instance, some may suggest that men are wilder than women, and more independent. On the contrary, many women could prove this to not be true. One of the other common stereotypes may also be that males may enjoy racing or other sporting activities than the women would. This may or may not be true.
One major real difference perhaps between hen and stag parties may be that of communication. Women are naturally more prone to want to get to know each other on a deeper level than men are. Therefore, they may possibly play more “get-to-know-you” type games in someone’s home than a man would. However, both groups would generally concede that alcohol, sexy strippers, or a bottle of champagne is in order for this type of celebration. Furthermore, both would consider hiring limo drivers for the occasion as well. So, when a person thinks of the true differences between men and women parties there may not be any real differences. If so, those differences are often very minor. Again, most people would agree that the biggest difference is that a hen party is all females and a stag party is all males.
For both males and females a pre-marriage party usually is planned for a similar purpose. It helps calm the future couple’s nerves as well as to help them mourn the loss of singlehood as well as celebrate the beginning of married life. For both men and women this can be an exciting time that sometimes includes feelings of healthy sadness. Oh, perhaps there is one more difference that exists between hen and stag parties. When women dress up to celebrate and go out they are often thought of to be much prettier than men are. Likewise, most people would agree that female strippers are sexier than men strippers as well. This is supposed to be a joke, but it helps make light of the many stereotypes that exist between men and women.
