History of a Bachelorettes Party!
The bachelorette party is consciously modeled after the centuries-old bachelor's party,[2][4] which is itself historically a dinner given by the bridegroom to his friends shortly before his wedding.[3]
Although the practice of giving a party to honor the bride-to-be goes back for centuries, in its modern form, the bachelorette party may have begun during the sexual revolution of the 1960s. It was uncommon until at least the mid-1980s, and the first book on planning bachelorette parties wasn't published until 1998.[4] Its cultural significance is largely tied to concepts of gender equality.[4] Compared to the bridal shower, which helps the bride-to-be acquire possessions or a dowry and reinforces traditional gender roles, a bachelorette party is an expression of social and sexual freedom.
Initially, parties in honor of the bride-to-be that were labeled as bachelorette party often involved displays of sexual freedom, such as trading intimate secrets, getting drunk, and enjoying male strippers. Parties that honored the bride-to-be without these elements avoided that label.[4] Now the term is used for a wide variety of parties.[5][6]
The term "hen party" comes from the henna plant which is part of wedding traditions in North Africa, the Middle East, and parts of Asia. In these traditions, henna tattoos are applied to the bride's hands on the night before the wedding to protect her from the "evil eye". Henna is believed to purify the bride and thus prevent her from being affected by the influence of any evil agents.[7]
