hen's party

2011, Jacqueline Lunn, Under the Influence, Random House Australia, page 16, In Sarah′s book, big events were for weddings, birthdays, christenings and hen′s parties, not funerals. They were for the good stuff.

2011, Garry Disher, Whispering Death, Text Publishing Company, Victoria, page 60, The diners, this Friday evening, were a mix of locals and weekender tourists. Young, middle-aged, old. Kids on a first date, a hen′s party of shire office workers, the Waterloo postmaster and his wife, a family singing Happy Birthday to an ancient crone.
