A few days before our wedding, Jeff and I had our stag and hen dos. Since I live in NZ now, that's what they're called instead of bachelor and bachelorette parties. I had no idea what Laura had in store for me that night and I didn't know what Doug had in store for Jeff. Let's just say it was a perfect night. Around 6pm I was to show up at Naomi's house. This is what greeted me:

The theme was "Medieval." I loved it. So immediately after handing my camera to my Mom, Laura whisked me away so I could become properly attired.

| That's better. |
I had a court Jester (thanks Roger) and a peasant who brought me drinks (thanks Anna).
It was a fun-filled evening with drinks, dinner, a bonfire, medieval dancing and a couple of games. After all this we went on a surprise trip. I found out later that early in the planning process, MOH Irish planned this out with BM Doug to meet up later in the evening. I don't have any photos from that part of the night, but there was dancing, mustaches, a game where I got tackled and some kisses with my soon-to-be husband. I was so happy to see our friends having such a good time celebrating with Jeff and I. It made me more excited for the wedding that was in a few days! Here are a few more pictures from that night.

| Great friends. |
Anna really got into the peasant look with her holey socks.
Learning how to do a medieval dance. This was fun. Then later on I got in trouble at the combined party because I took off my mustache. So Laura forced me to dance to earn the forgiveness of the lord of the evening (Jeff). I hammed it up and it was great. I wonder if anyone took pictures of that?
I really couldn't have asked for a better party from my friends. I loved every minute of it. I knew I didn't want a traditional party and I knew Laura would pull through. Now I just think I can't wait to help plan a hen do for one of my girls here! Although it'll be tough to top my medieval princess party. :)
Did you have a traditional hen do, or did you go for something different?

This looks like so much fun! Of course I grew up going to Renaissance Faires and have my own costume, so I might be a little biased.
As for my bachelorette it was a little traditional. Although we did have to change plans a day or so before, since the plan was to have it in New Orleans which wound up getting hit bit Hurricane Isaac a day or so before.
