How to Organize Hen Parties
Posted August 19, 2010

First and foremost if you have been tasked with organizing or helping to organize a hen party think about the bride. The bride may be delegating all hen party responsibility to you whilst she focuses on the wedding planning.
Whilst some women would be over the moon to have a boisterous over-the-top once in a lifetime hen party, others may prefer a more subdued and civilized occasion.
First off lets look at the typical hen celebrations. They include nights out on the town, fine dining at a great restaurant, a spa weekend, a trip abroad, and sporting activities.
The more raucous party may include the girls dressing up in costumes, plenty of alcohol and a male stripper.
The calmer version may be a lovely meal followed by a few drinks.
The longer events could include an afternoon on divine luxury followed by an evening meal and an overnight stay.
More unusual hen parties are pole dancing lessons, go karts, quad biking, paint balling, river boat cruises, spa make over and photo shoot.
Evening activities include casino nights, night clubs, party on a bus, a night of horse racing or dog racing.
The choice of event is usually down to two main criteria. What the bride enjoys and what kind of person she is and of course the budget available. It is important to consider the other guests too. Ask yourself whether they will be able to afford the celebrations.
Those aforementioned criteria are just as important when it comes to buying gifts and accessories for the celebrations. The shy and retiring bride will not want to be adorned in L plates and blow up men. The outrageous lady may really enjoy being in the spotlight to that extent.
Hen night t shirts are fun and can be personalized usually at no extra charge.
For health club and spa weekends, or a generally and party which involves an overnight stay then personalized slippers for each lady are perfect. They are practical and may be saved to mark the occasion.
Wedding or hen night slippers can be personalized with different words on each slipper. For example the name of the person on one and a funny nickname or wedding role on the other. Some people opt to include the date of the celebrations on the personalized slippers.
When you are buying personalized gifts for hen nights you will usually see lots of potential impulse purchases such as key rings, banners, and other fun gifts.
If you buy online make sure you give yourself enough time for the order to arrive and distributed to the girls in time. Especially if you are planning a surprise. For example all the girls arriving in their hen party t shirts. Or all the ladies packing their funky personalized slippers.
Planning is crucial so ensure you have all tickets ahead of when you need them, plan transport and ensure that all the invitees know well in advance of the dates times and any requirements.
Wishing you a fabulous hen party.
