Hen nights are now more lavish than ever, according to an entertainments specialist.
According to website CEO Tony Roberts, the number of websites offering hen night and stag do packages has increased to meet demand as wedding parties increasingly go all out to celebrate the event.
Mr Roberts said: "We have noticed that people back in the 1990s used to just go out for a couple of drinks and maybe a meal, but today people are after the complete experience.
"We have found that people these days prefer to make a weekend of it, combining traditional night time activities with events during the day."
Public relations agency The Point has also revealed that Brighton has become an increasingly popular location for the festivities, rivalling the dominance of Lancashire city Blackpool.
Mr Roberts said: "It comes as no surprise to me that Brighton is so popular, it is a vibrant and beautiful city."
