          Plan your hen party like a pro

          Hen parties take a lot of thought and planning to ensure they are the perfect weekend for the bride-to-be as well as being enjoyable for the whole of your hen troupe. You need to factor in choosing the right hen do destination, as well as comfortable and convenient accommodation, and hen party activities that your group will love!

          Once you have the foundations set in stone, you can then brainstorm all the other hen do ideas that will make your trip truly unforgettable. This is everything from matching outfits, silly hen-do props, to transport and cocktail ingredients. Whether you would like a break by the beach or cocktails in the city, let us help you with the nitty-gritty planning so that all you have to do is choose how you would like to spend your hen weekend.

        • Once you’ve booked your hen party accommodation, it’s time to for the fun part – organising some fun hen party activities and games! Our advise is to split this into daytime and evening activities. Fill the day with something interactive such as cocktail making, or something silly and hilarious like It’s a Knockout. For the evening a favourite is to make use of your property and book in private catering, served by buff butlers. We’ve listed all the best hen party activities so you don’t have to!

          6 top tips to organise a hen party

          1) Create a Guest List – Who are the non-negotiable invites? Will the hen want her mum / mother in-law / sister there? Does the hen have any colleagues outside of her immediate friendship group that should be invited?

          2) Start a Group Chat – Communication is one of the most important things to a successful hen party. Start a Facebook Messenger or Whatsapp group chat. This way you’ll save yourself the stress of having to message individual people constantly.

          3) Decide on a destination– You can either decide this yourself as the lead hen do organiser, or vote as a group. Are you going abroad or sticking to the UK? City break or would you rather a bit more space out in the country? Whatever you choose, think about what the hen would love.

          4) Book Accommodation – Before organising anything else, get your hen accommodation booked. There’s no point booking activities and travel to a destination that you can’t find accommodation for. Agree on a budget with your group and secure a house or hotel with a deposit first.

          5) Book Activities – Once accommodation is booked you’ll know what is left of the budget to source and book some activities. We have heaps of bundles that you can choose from or browse our individual activities and create a bespoke combo. You can create a weekend full of things the bride loves or alternatively, choose something she’s never done!

          6) Nitty-gritty details; Travel, Food – With most things paid for and now arranged, think about the finer details. How are you travelling to and from your base and activities? What will you be eating and drinking? Do you need to buy any hen related novelties or outfits for both the lead hen and her trustee hens?
