A hen party is a great chance to get people together from different parts of the bride’s life for a bit of fun before the big day. An all important consideration when planning a hen weekend is who to actually invite!

You’ll need to work with the bride on this one. A good starting point is the wedding guestlist as you usually invite those who are invited to the wedding – closest friends, family and of course the bridesmaids!

Some brides will want their Mum or Gran there, some won’t. You’ll need to adjust the hen party plans accordingly to accommodate the age range. It might be that you choose to do an activity during the day for the ‘younger’ contingent and then have a meal and drinks in the evening where any ‘oldies’ can join in.  Or why not have 2 dos! Go away for a weekend with the girls and then have a second do somewhere local maybe in a restaurant so that the relatives can join in.

When putting the hen party invite list together, think about group numbers. Too small and it can be difficult to book the best activities as there are minimum group sizes. Too large and it can get a bit of a nightmare trying to co-ordinate everyone.

If there are people that you have to cross off the list, then just send them a quick note to explain why. That way there’s less likely to be any awkwardness at the wedding when you see them.

So that’s the guest list sorted. Now it’s time to get the rest of the hen party planned!

What’s in a sign?

We’ve now got to the seventh astrologcial sign in our horoscope series. We look at hen or stag party activities that would suit those born under the zodiac sign of Libra – The Scales.

Libras are easy going, charming and pleasant. All relationships are important to them, so those invited to the hen or stag party will be great friends.

Libra (September 24 – October 23)

On the downside, Libras are renowned for being very indecisiveness and changeable. So organising a hen or stag weekend for them will be challenging. Be prepared to go through lots of different options. The Libra will either sit on the fence about all the activities you suggest or they will keep changing their mind!

By using a company like Adventure Connections, we can talk through the types of things you know the Libra enjoys to ensure that you can propose the best combination of activities possible to try to eliminate any reasons for them to be indecisiveness. The weekend ideas will be so good, they’ll have to say yes!

Why not choose the accommodation first and get the Libra to decide on this before tackling their indecisiveness about activities? Libras love luxury and there are a whole range of luxurious self catering properties to choose from in locations around the UK. Whether you want something in a city centre and near to the action or a quiet retreat in the country?

Once the location and accommodation is sorted out, it’s time to pick the activities. There are over 50 different activities to choose from so there will be something to suit those born under the sign of Libra. Take a look at the Activities section of the Adventure Connections website for ideas and call us today on 08450 251 251.
