Need help planning your Hen night? Think its all about being boozed-up? Think again as todays young hens want style and uniqueness. Read on for helpful Hen Night ideas.

Whether you want to live it up in the south of France or play it safe by having a quite dinner, we can help you. As the wedding preparations begin, you as the bride will have your hands full. You should ask a close friend or friends to help you plan the Hen.

When? Before contacting your guest list it is worth while planning two or three dates. Weekends are mostly convenient and the best time, however week days are ideal if you are deciding to go abroad or go for a weekend away on a budget. Once you have decided on a unified date announce it to our list of friends.

Who? If you are the person who has been selected to organise her hen night/weekend, the first thing you need to do is discuss with the bride who she may want to invite. You should set some time aside and contact all the guests either via a group email or telephone and ask them if they can make the forthcoming event.

A list of attendees broken down into, must haves, maybes, definitely not’s helps you decide the date. Maybe the definitely not’s can be avoided by selecting a date they cannot attend!

Where? The venue takes time to choose. You need to consider the following:

It has got to be easy for everyone to get to
Fun, memorable and exciting
Not too expensive – affordable for everyone to attend but original

If you are intending to go for a weekend in the UK, the venue should be at least booked 2 months in advance. If it is abroad, the weekend should be booked at least 4 months in advance.
You could consider a luxury spa, bunjee jumping abroad or embracing our European cousins cultural delights.

Travel arrangements will depend on factors such as train/flight timetables and where the guests live, what time can people reach the station or airport and what time they need to get back home. You need to inform all the guests with the directions and send them a simple map, the full address and contact details of the venue.

Hen Night Ideas Depending in what the hen girl likes you can decide on what to do. Does she like wild parties and crazy things or likes to have something relaxing or would like to have both. You need to ask her what she would like to do and also ask the guests what they would like to do as they may have good suggestions from previous hen nights.

The night when everyone arrives at the meeting point, remind everyone on what the main purpose of the weekend is for and that it should be full of memories, laughter, speeches, toasts and it is important that everyone keeps everything a secret. What happens on the night stays that way!

The success of your hen night will largely depend on what you do rather than where you do it. Creating a theme is always a tried and tested way of getting in the mood and being noticed! Above all have fun!
