Here at FunkiMunki, we know how stressful it can be to organise a hen party and attempting to make everyone is happy. So.. here are our top tips for organising the best hen party!
Check with the bride who she wants there, should relatives be there, or just friends? Ask her so she feels most comfortable.
Ask the bride what she wants to do, or get ideas from others so you’ve got an idea of what she’ll like rather than doing something she’ll hate. If you do just ask her, there are always extra little surprises you can add in to make it a bit more interesting!
Make a list of everything that needs to be done, then you’ll feel much more in control of what’s going on and what you have left to do closer to the time.
Get everyone’s details off the bride, that way you can email round and let people know what’s going on, or get more ideas.
I know its tradition to have the hen or stag party the night before the wedding, but I think things have changed slightly since then.. Don’t hold the hen party the night before the wedding!!
Set a budget, everyone has got different ideas of what to spend, so try to find a budget that fits everyone. This goes for the location and the date as well.
Plan something that everyone will enjoy. If the bride wants older relatives there, then make sure you another activity planned that they can get involved with too, before you go dancing on tables in clubs!
Make sure everyone knows how much money they owe. The last thing you want on the day is someone not wanting to pay and complaining about their contribution.
Take some presents! I know this is in addition to all your hard work of actually organising it, but some thoughtful treats will make it a hen party to remember. They don’t have to be expensive, they can just be some fun things for the night out, or something that she can keep like a memory book where everyone can write messages.
Divide the costs between the guests, the bride shouldn’t have to pay for anything!
Be organised! Can’t stress this enough, especially if you’re going abroad, make sure everyone’s got their passports, tickets, money (you catch the drift!).
If you’re planning on hitting a club as part of your hen weekend, make sure you email ahead and see that they can accommodate you, otherwise if you’re turned away this could be a massive hassle trying to find somewhere else to go at short notice in a city you don’t know!
Most of all, have a good time! It’s once in a lifetime (hopefully..) to organise a hen party for this girl, so make sure you send her off to married life in style!
Happy Hen Party!
