Behind me sat one mother of the bride and a friend her own age (the bride and friends looked to be mid 30s or even a little older). <br />I heard one line of dialogue: "I didn't come for <i>her</i>, I came for the piss-up." Which rather shocked me.<br />The women all carried matching pink "goodie bags" from a named store...everyone started drinking immediately.<br />It's all anthropology.<br />I never saw anything like it in America, but I've lived abroad a long time.Cataneahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07721005764933680587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28787909.post-89736775232711580442008-07-24T18:42:00.000+01:002008-07-24T18:42:00.000+01:00I'm from Canada, and I've also heard them referred...I'm from Canada, and I've also heard them referred to as "stagettes" (or stagette party), the men's version being a "stag".kelseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08362540786636689040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28787909.post-62526696745331676932007-06-23T07:59:00.000+01:002007-06-23T07:59:00.000+01:00In this case you can trust the net.

The male equivalent is a "buck's night".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28787909.post-1151143516161698572006-06-24T11:05:00.000+01:002006-06-24T11:05:00.000+01:00Yes, it is common to see multiple hen's (or should...Yes, it is common to see multiple hen's (or should that be hens'?) parties at the local casino competing with one another to run between the slot machines.
