Whether your the Bride who is unsure how she wants to celebrate at her hen party or you are the friend in charge of organising the hen party. Hen Heaven are on hand and have shared with Ideal Bride Magazine readers their best tips and advice when planning that all important hen party. Here is what they had to say...
If you have been given the honour of organising your friend's hen party, try not to be too over whelmed with the responsibility, you just need to make sure you are really organised and know exactly what type of hen party your friend would like.
Top Tips to organising a special Hen Party
- Firstly get an idea of what type of hen party/ weekend your friend would like there are lots of activities to choose from and great destinations to go to.
- Once you have established what type of hen weekend she would like- do some research into hen weekend providers and get an idea of what you want to do and how much it will cost. For ideas and details visit henheaven.co.uk
- The next step is to get an accurate guest list with contact names, email addresses and numbers.
- At this stage you will need to tell your friend that it is now in your capable hands and with no amount of quizzing will you give anything away. She will thank you when everything is revealed.
- It is vital to make sure that everyone invited is aware if the hen party is a secret from the hen, all email correspondence should be titled Secret Hen and make sure you do not accidentally include the hen in the emails.
Tips for Hen Parties on a budget
- Plan the party within everyone's budget, a party isn't much of a party if there are only a few people that can attend. If the hen party isn't within everyone's price range it could end in disaster with people pulling out.
- A great way to prepare financially for a hen party is to give everyone plenty of time to save. It might be worth setting up a bank account especially for the event and giving everyone deadlines for set amounts of affordable deposits.
- Book your hen party through a hen party specialist like Hen Heaven; this will save you a lot of time and money as all party planners have expert knowledge on all destinations, activities and packages. Many offer an easy online payment scheme with affordable deposits.
- Opt for 1 Night Only, if a whole weekend is out of the question, Hen Heaven have a comprehensive line of one night packages for cheap London hen nights.
- If you still want the full weekend experience of the hen weekend but want to save your cocktail pennies, then we also have a range of inexpensive hen weekends that offer simple but effective packages for the lowest of budgets. In all of our most popular locations we have the Foundation package. See henheaven.co.uk for details.
- Book group transport, i.e. train/ coach tickets this enable huge savings on tickets.
- Pre drinks at home before you go out can be fun, why not make cocktails in the comfort of your home.
