Appetizer Ideas For A Bachelorette Party - Recipes Of Bachelor Party Appetizers

Hen-do, hen-party, hen-night and other ‘hen’ terms - the list of names for a bachelorette party goes on. A bachelorette party is a party given in honor of a woman about to get married. It is likely to be the biggest celebration of her ‘single’ life, with her closest friends. The bachelorette party got its cue from bachelor parties commonly thrown in honor of a groom the night before he gets married. Though bachelor parties were held centuries ago, too, bachelorette parties were quite unheard of until the ‘sexual revolution’ of the ’60s. A bachelorette party is usually organized by friends of the lady getting married. Since it is something like a farewell party they make every effort to make the party a once in a lifetime experience. There will be fun, food, drinks and all those small thoughtful gestures to help cherish every memory of the time spent mingling with friends as a singleton. Food is one of the main attractions of such parties, though many prefer small easy recipes if parties are held at home. In that way appetizers make a good choice. Since it is a day that has to be remembered for years, the appetizers served have to be uniquely delectable. Check out some lip-smacking appetizer recipes in this article.
