Organising a hen party, hen night and hen weekend is an important
responsibility. The hen party will be talked about before the wedding, during
and for years after, so the pressure is on to provide a quality hen party.
However, there are some tips to help the hen party run more
smoothly.
Tip 1
You need to decide how many ladies will be
attending the hen bash. This is important because this influences what
activities, accommodation and destination you’ll be able to do. A good number
for a hen
party is around the 10 – 12 mark, as this makes it easier to book
accommodation and most
hen do activities work around these numbers. There is no
point deciding to do a spa weekend for 25 ladies, as they’ll most likely be a
lot of waiting around for treatments.
Tip 2
Next to decide is
the date of the hen
party, once decided stick to it. Ensure that you stay away from bank
holiday weekends if possible, as most hotels and activities will either be
filling up fast or charge double prices. If you’re going to a city with a
racecourse, stay clear from race weekend, as accommodation will be limited.
However stag and hen party organisers normally have accommodation pre booked so
they will be able to find some that suits your hen party needs.
Tip
3
Now that you have a rough idea on numbers and decided on a date for the
weekend, next is the budget. Speak to everyone to get a rough idea of their
budget and then go for the average price. However, if the hen
party is booked far enough in advance, this gives time for everyone to save
up the money monthly. Just remember that everyone’s financial position is
different and your job is to ensure that everyone has a good time. A really
good idea to help take the pressure off yourself is to appoint a treasurer whose
job is to collect the money from everyone ASAP. Set monthly or quarterly
amounts and stick to it, as soon you’ll be paying for activities and
accommodation.
Which Hen Party Activities to choose?
A Day at the Races
Head to the track for some serious horse
racing betting and drinking or soak up the atmosphere in your Sunday best with a
glass of champagne... the choice is yours! One of the best days you'll ever
have.
This is a brilliant activity for a hen party, as the races are
throughout the day leaving the night for the serious fun. There are plenty of
bars and smartly dressed men around to keep yourself entertained if betting is
not for you. Perfect for the larger hen parties.
Cocktail
Making Party
Love cocktails? Then learn how to make them like the
professionals. The
hen party will love this hen activity, as its not weather
dependant, suits all ages and everyone learns something. Look for the cocktail
making parties that included food and drink.
Can-Can
Party
Get yourself in the mood for a party with some good old fashioned
high kicking Moulin Rouge style fun. The fabulously colourful can-can skirts
that are provided as part of the package will really put you in the mood for fun
and giggles.
You will learn a variety of basic can-can moves, tricks and
routines that will come together in a full chorus line performance at the end of
the party.
The can-can party is energetic, fun packed and suitable for all
ages, a great
dance hen party
Bar
& Club Queue Jumper Tickets
This is the perfect way to ensure
that everyone sticks together on the stag night. Bar crawl tickets help to
ensure that the whole party get in the venue by giving them advance notice of
your arrival. These are relevantly cheap and add that extra little bit of fun
for the weekend.
