Details Revealed! Monday, Jul 20 2009 

We’ve made our plans for Bec’s hens party celebration and are most excited to be sharing them with you.  However we won’t be most excited if anyone blabs to Bec, this is a covert operation, she mustn’t know ANYTHING!  Please caution your other halves to be discrete too.

For those of you who have received this email and can’t make it, there’s a reason why you’re included – please skip to the last paragraph 🙂

We’ll be meeting on the 22nd of August at 2pm for a welcome drink and briefing at the Soho Hotel.

2.30 – 4.30 Photo Treasure Hunt
This will involve a series of clues being given to your team. You will hunt through the streets of London to seek out the answer to the clues. Then you need to take a photographic interpretation of the answer to the clue. Artistic license is encouraged!  PLEASE bring your camera if you have one, not only for the photo treasure hunt (but obviously this is important) but also to keep the day as a special photographic momento for Bec.
4.30 Return to the hotel
5.00 – 7.00 Mr and Mrs Game, drinks, nibbles and photo treasure hunt results. Book presentation (details in the last paragraph)
Then get your glam on for a night of decadence, burlesque, dinner and dancing! We’ll be leaving the Soho Hotel at 8.30 for dinner and a show at Volupte Lounge, the most decadent supper club in town! www.volupte-lounge.com
The dress code for the evening is outrageous boudoir decadence, get your corsets out, your flapper dresses on and channel the hey day of glamour from the 1920s to 1940s.  Anything goes, you will NOT be overdressed, no matter how outlandish your outfit.

The club closes at 3am, when anyone wishing to continue is welcome back at the Soho hotel.

Costs!

We’ve tried to keep everything as reasonable as possible, with the option to come for a small part of the celebration or the whole shebang. Nikki has managed to wrangle an AMAZING deal for the room at the Soho Hotel and this will serve as our base for the day.
Cost per person £15, this includes a glass of bubbles and nibbles, as well as the room hire.  Please bring enough beverages to see you through for the duration, whether its just before dinner or if you’re coming back for the after party.

Volupte Lounge
There is no way of getting out of having a two course dinner here, its part of the package unfortunately. A sample menu can be found on their site and they do cater for gluten, wheat and dairy intolerance.
The ticket cost for the evening (which does not include the dinner) is £30, which needs to be paid on booking. I have saved 10 spaces so far and need numbers back ASAP so I can book the remaining places. Please let me know if you’re coming to this part of the evening and deposit the money into my account as I need to pay them when I book.

Please use your full name as the reference so I can keep tabs on who has paid. I would like fully confirmed numbers on this by the end of July please 🙂

The £15 for the hotel room can be paid on the day, taxis can be split between the occupants of each cab.

Please let me know as soon as you can what parts of the celebration you’ll be attending.

1. Photo Treasure Hunt, Mr and Mrs Game, Photo Treasure Hunt Results
2. Volupte Lounge
3. After Party

NOW all those people that skipped to the last paragraph… We’d like everyone to be included in a special book that we’ll be making for Bec. The book is going to be properly printed and will be presented to Bec on the day. We need a couple of weeks to get this put together so please send me all the info below as soon as you can, I’d hate for anyone to be left out.
* a favourite photo of you and Bec.
* a little paragraph, sentence, story etc about your favourite memory of you and Bec.
* a secret, can’t be lived without piece of advice on the key to success for her marriage.

I may have some issues getting photos sent to my work email address so please also cc in my hotmail address write2bronny@hotmail.com

Looking forward to it, can’t wait to see you all!

X Bron, Nikki, Bahareh, Sheree, Mel X

This is a forum for Bec’s Hen’s Do/BridalShower/Kick Ass partaaaaay. A place to brainstorm, plan, provide information and keep people in the loop.  After the event it will be a place where photos and videos are displayed, where comments are left and Bec has it for a keepsake.  We’ll also have ‘offline’ keepsake type things like a special book, but in a digital world we can show videos 😉
