When it comes to planning a brilliant hen party for your sister, BFF, or someone special in your life, it is no easy feat. It is already hard making sure to invite all of the right people, budget appropriately and plan a hen that is fun and personable with just the right amount of cringe, but adding the Covid-19 crisis makes it even more difficult! If one of your besties is due to have her hen do in the coming weeks and you're planning a Zoom extravaganza, we have heard of an offer that is sure to sweeten the deal! Right now, leading Irish retailer Lidl has an offer on wine that such a steal, it will seriously make it a Virtual Hen Party to remember!
The Lidl Wine Special
From the 29th of November, Lidl is offering a selection of their award-winning wines in a special six bottles for €29 deal in all of their 166 stores around Ireland. There's a great variety of options to choose from including a South African Chenin Blanc, a Cabernet Sauvignon from Chile, a Merlot from South Africa as well as an Australian Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay Colombard, and a personal favourite - the Californian Zinfandel Rosé. As always, all of the Lidl selection is well-regarded by wine experts with all of the selection receiving high ratings from international Master of wine Richard Bampfield, as well as winning Own Brand Range of the Year at the IWSC (International Wine Spirits Challenge) in 2019.
Potential Savings
At €29 for six, this works out at just €4.80 a bottle. So this Lidl deal offers substantial savings on the wine bill for the hen. This wine deal is mix and match, so you could choose each of the hens' favourite wine and drop off at his or her home! With a Lidl just down the road from you, it's a great option and you can pick up treats, cheese and other delicious items for the virtual hen while you are there. If the bride is yet to buy her wedding wine, why not tell her about this deal? Our article about how much wine you need at a wedding explains just how to budget and plan for the big day.
How To Make A Virtual Hen Fun
You can find lots of our favourite hen party decor that you can post directly to the bride (or rope her other half in to set all up!). Pyjamas and sheet face masks are essential, and if it's a small group, why not order a takeaway delivery for everyone in the group? Or better yet, you could host a virtual wine and cheese tasting, since you already have the wine from Lidl!
No hen do, virtual or not, is complete without some cheesy dancing, so do yourself a favour and check out our epic hen party playlist! Not only is it a bit of fun, but it will also go a long way into making you feel like you really are all there together. Just because we're social distancing, doesn’t mean things need to be boring. In these make-and-do times, a little effort makes a big impact and will help your pal feel really special.
