"Hen Night" Card for CropStop

Anyone familiar with what a "Hen Night" is?  I hail from an Asian tropical country, thus, I'm not familiar with the term.  My research from ArticlesBase came up with this description / definition:

"Hen nights are a common theme party for many women. There are many to be married women who get a hen night party from their friends and associates. A hen night is the female version of the stag night for men and is completely restricted to women.

The term hen night is most popular in countries like the United Kingdom, Ireland and Australia although the concept is popular all over the world. In the United States, hen nights are more commonly known as bachelorette parties. The term stagette is more popular in Canada. In some other English speaking countries, the terms girls’ night out and kitchen tea is used for describing hen nights.

Hen nights make one of the best surprise parties for women who are about to get married. Unlike the bachelor parties that most often end up in drinking sessions and orgies, the hen nights are seen more as an occasion to build female bonding. The organizers are typically one or more of the women who have been invited to the wedding ceremony and they decide what to do on the hen night that they have chosen for the bride."
