2.Karaoke
Strike up the Plastics' anthems for a bit of Mean Girls themed karaoke. You go, Glen Coco! Grab the mic and kick things off with Milkshake by Kelis, bound to help you bring out your inner Regina or Cady. Jingle all the way to glory with the iconic Jingle Bell Rock routine. This is sure to be the bride-to-be's spotlight moment if she remembers all the dance moves! You can also rock out to God is a DJ by Pink or channel your Missy Elliott vibes with Pass That Dutch. And when it's time to showcase your confidence, take on Samantha Ronson's ballad from the Spring Fling, Built This Way.

3.Dance Class
Put on your dancing shoes because it's time to turn up the heat with a dance class that's so fetch! Get ready to master the Plastics' iconic Jingle Bell Rock routine with a professional dance teacher leading the way. From Cady's slick moves to Regina's fierce strut, you'll be sashaying down the aisle in no time. This dance class is the perfect way to channel your inner Plastic and create memories that are as unforgettable as Karen's weather forecasts! If you prefer you can choose a different song from the film; whatever gets you grooving. So let your hair down and dance like nobody's watching!

4.Mean Girls Themed Quiz
Get ready to flex your Mean Girls knowledge with a quiz during your Mean Girls hen do. These facts are practically written in the Burn Book! Test your Plastics prowess with questions like, "On Wednesdays, we wear...?", "What is Regina's favourite film?" and "What did Gretchen's dad invent?" From mathlete equations to Pink Wednesday protocols, it's a brain workout more intense than Karen trying to calculate the weather. So, are you a Plastic prodigy or a Fetch flunky? Grab your crew, don your pink crowns, and let the quiz begin. A true Mean Girl knows that if you can't ace this quiz, you can't sit with us!

5.Mean Girls Drinking Game
If you fancy getting tipsy while watching your favourite movie, why not try out the Mean Girls drinking game? It's "grool" and all you need to do is make rules on when to drink during the movie. For example, take a drink when: Anyone says Plastics. Someone mispronounces Cady's name. When there's narration. When someone mentions Africa. When someone says Regina George's full name. When there's a three way phone call. When Gretchen spills a secret. When someone crosses off a task on Janis's board. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Just remember to drink responsibly. You don't want to repeat Cady's infamous word vomit or worse!

6.Cinema Trip
Get your popcorn ready because on 17th January 2024, cinemas in the UK are turning into a Mean Girls musical haven for the ultimate hen party treat! It's not just a movie screening; it's a Plastics-packed premiere. Don your pink clothing and get yourselves down to your local cinema to watch the new Mean Girls movie. From cool dance numbers to Regina's iconic one-liners, it's bound to be iconic. So, ditch the Kalteen bars, embrace the Plastics' charm and enjoy every minute of your Mean Girls movie night!

7.Mean Girls Fancy Dress
Who can resist a bit of early 00s fashion? Get ready to strut your stuff in Plastics-approved glamour because, at a Mean Girls hen party, dressing up is as essential as wearing pink on a Wednesday! Don your fanciest threads and channel your inner Regina, Cady, Gretchen or Karen, or even the legendary Mrs George! As Cady Heron would say, the limit does not exist! Whatever you're planning to do on your Mean Girls hen do, dressing up will make things fun from the get-go. Break out the tiaras, feather boas and pink clothing and accessories so you're, like, really pretty!

8.Mean Girls Inspired Cocktails
Now, these aren't like regular cocktails, these are cool cocktails, and no Mean Girls inspired hen party would be complete without some sassy, pink tipples. Sure, you could head to a bar for cocktails or you could mix up your very own themed drinks at home with the girls. Get ready to go all out and have some fun naming your cocktails, taking inspiration from some of the movie's best quotes and references. Think along the lines of 'Fetch Fizz', or 'A Little Bit Dramatic', a nod to that top worn by the queen bee herself, Regina George. Alternatively, why not enjoy a play on words for your drink such as 'You Can't Sip With Us!' Whatever you name them, just remember, happy hour is from four to six. Oh, God Love ya.

9.Themed Photobooth
It's time to strike a pose and unleash your inner Plastics with a Mean Girls themed photobooth! Get a load of Mean Girls inspired selfie props (we found packs available to buy on Etsy) which include iconic catchphrases from the movie such as "She doesn't even go here", "I'm a mouse, duh!" and "You're like, really pretty", along with lipstick and sunglasses too. If you really want to elevate your photobooth, you could add a pink balloon arch to make your pics pop! Why not use an instant camera such as an Instax or Polaroid to add to the fun - you could even stick the photos in your Burn Book scrapbook afterwards! Just make sure you're wearing Mean Girls fancy dress or wearing pink for the occasion!

10. Burn Book Scrapbook
Looking for the ultimate gift for the bride-to-be on her Mean Girls inspired bash? How about her very own Burn Book scrapbook! Unlike the one in the movie, this one will actually be filled with nice stuff and here, no one's getting burned for making out with a hot dog! Get the hens to add photos and write cute messages and favourite memories, along with hilarious inside jokes that will raise a smile. Oh, and ensure it's decked out with more pink than Karen wears on Wednesdays to really up your Burn Book game! Gift this one at the end of the weekend as a one-of-a-kind memento for the bride-to-be.

Why more couples are letting the coast shape their wedding day

For couples planning a wedding, the setting is increasingly becoming more than a backdrop. Research from WeddingDates found that 78% of UK couples consider location an important factor when choosing a venue, with more than a third specifically influenced by the view. Rockwater, the UK coastal hospitality brand with beachfront venues in Hove and Branksome, says this is helping reshape how couples approach weddings by the water. Rather than simply choosing a coastal venue and then planning the celebration independently of it, couples are increasingly allowing the landscape, changing light and relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces to influence the day itself. Rockwater has identified four of the key considerations shaping modern coastal weddings.

Something old, something gone: The British wedding traditions on borrowed time

New Aspall research reveals the wedding traditions that are being dropped - from the bouquet toss and choreographed first dances, to the father-of-the-bride speech - and the modern alternatives taking their place. Speeches given only by men (36%), a choreographed first dance (34%) and the formal receiving line (30%) are among the wedding traditions that couples are keenest to ditch, a new study reveals. Wearing a veil, the 15-minute father-of-the-bride speech with no speech from the bride, and the traditional tiered fruit cake are also increasingly falling out of favour as Brits tie the knot, researchers found.
