Unsurprisingly, considering their jobs, they both wanted to enjoy unforgettable stag and hen dos with all their friends, so much so that they decided to have two each.<\/p>\n<p>After both spending eight years working in the wedding planning industry and talking to excited stags and hens every day, we thought we\u2019d find out how two industry professionals go about planning their own parties (<a title=\"Chris also runs a wedding photography company\" href=\"http:\/\/www.chrisperryphotography.co.uk\/weddings.html\">Chris also runs a wedding photography company so gets to meet tons of couples face-to-face<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Here are some of their top tips on ensuring your own pre-wedding celebrations are up to scratch:<\/p>\n<h2>#1 &#8211; Don\u2019t be afraid to have more than one party<\/h2>\n<p>It might sound greedy to have two hen weekends, but there can be plenty of good reasons for that. People have busy diaries and different budgets or you may just have too many friends to accommodate in one trip. For Kimberlee, an Australian who moved to England for work, she had the perfect excuse, enjoying two celebrations on separate sides of the world.<\/p>\n<h3>The British Hen Do<\/h3>\n<p>The first saw her getting all the girls round to her seaside holiday home in Selsey, near Chichester, for wine, cheese and plenty of pampering, with <a title=\"two naked butlers serving up the bbq\" href=\"http:\/\/www.chillisauce.co.uk\/hen-nights\/london\/lap-dancing-and-strippers\/butlers-in-the-buff~pr7928\/\">two naked butlers serving up a BBQ<\/a>.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/British-Hen-Do.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6634\" alt=\"British Hen Do\" src=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/British-Hen-Do.jpg\" width=\"599\" height=\"399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/British-Hen-Do.jpg 599w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/British-Hen-Do-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/British-Hen-Do-500x333.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 599px) 100vw, 599px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6634\" alt=\"British Hen Do\" src=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/British-Hen-Do.jpg\" width=\"599\" height=\"399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/British-Hen-Do.jpg 599w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/British-Hen-Do-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/British-Hen-Do-500x333.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 599px) 100vw, 599px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>The Hen Do Down Under<\/h3>\n<p>The second one was a more relaxed affair back on home soil in Sydney, with no real activities planned, just plenty of wine and gossiping at the harbour. \u201cWe get to see each other once every two years so there&#8217;s a lot of catching up to do,\u201d says Kimberlee.
