How to Plan a Hen Party Weekend

A hen party weekend is one of the most fun ways to celebrate a bride's last days of being single before her wedding day. Instead of just making it a one night party, think of all the fun your group of friends can have over an entire weekend. Read on to learn more.

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

• List of venues that can accommodate a hen party weekend

1. Decide on a guest list for a hen party weekend with the bride-to-be. Make sure to include the bridal party and any other friends or family she would like to have participate. Make sure to ask the bride about preferences her guests have as to food, games and consuming alcohol.
2. Determine the activities that the bride-to-be would like to enjoy on the hen party weekend. Again, make sure these activities are things the group you are inviting will enjoy. For example, if the group does not like or doesn't condone drinking alcohol, stay away from party games involving drinking.
3. Contact the venues that offer the activities that your group wants to participate in. A relaxing pampering weekend would require a spa setting where everyone could get treatments such as a massage, manicure and pedicure. If you are all about having a party weekend then make sure you book a place that offers nightclub activities. Book the hen party weekend well in advance of the date that you have chosen so you can make sure to get the date you want.
4. Mail invitations to everyone in the group who will participate in the hen party weekend. Ask for responses to come in a timely manner. Another option for invitations that would avoid delays caused by conventional mail is to send e-vites via email and the responses would likely come in more quickly.
5. Pack your bags and have fun with your hen party group. Make a checklist of items to take so you can make sure to have everything you need for all the activities. Don't forget to have some fun items packed for the bride to be, such as a glitzy veil, a t-shirt proclaiming that she is the BRIDE and a "bouquet" made from the ribbons and bows that adorned packages at her bridal showers.

Tips & Warnings

• Choose a date that is most convenient for the bride-to-be for the hen party weekend. You will not be able to accommodate everyone's schedule so you need to pick a date and stick with it.
• Be specific regarding the cost of the hen party weekend for all participants. This will avoid potential uncomfortable situations when it is time to settle the bill.
