  • Set a budget

Before you start planning anything, it's important to set a budget. Ask everyone who will be attending what they can afford, and work out a budget that works for everyone. This will help you determine what activities you can plan, where you can stay, and what you can do.

  • Choose a date

Choose a date that works for the majority of the group, including the bride-to-be. Consider any other events or holidays that may be happening around that time, as this can affect availability and prices.

  • Decide on the location

The location can make or break a hen do. Choose a location that is easily accessible for everyone and has plenty of activities and attractions to keep you all entertained. Whether it's a weekend away in a city or a countryside retreat, make sure it suits the bride-to-be's personality and preferences.

  • Plan the activities

Think about what the bride-to-be enjoys doing and plan activities around that. This could be anything from a spa day to a cocktail making class, a dance class to a group activity like paintballing. Make sure to include some activities that everyone will enjoy, but also add in some surprises to make the weekend even more memorable.

  • Book accommodation

Once you have decided on the location and activities, it's time to book your accommodation. Make sure to book in advance to secure the best deals and availability. Consider booking a house or apartment if you have a larger group, as it can be more cost-effective and allow you to spend more time together.

  • Consider transportation

If you're going to be doing a lot of activities or going out at night, consider transportation options. This could be anything from hiring a minibus to using public transport. Make sure everyone knows how they will be getting around and have a plan in place to avoid any stress or confusion.

  • Don't forget the details

It's the little details that can make a hen do truly special. Think about decorations, personalized t-shirts, or a special surprise for the bride-to-be. Don't forget to bring cameras to capture all the memories and create a scrapbook or photo album to give to the bride-to-be after the weekend.

Planning a great hen do takes some time and effort, but it's worth it to create a memorable experience for the bride-to-be and her friends. By setting a budget, choosing a date and location, planning activities, booking accommodation, considering transportation, and adding in some special details, you can create a weekend that everyone will remember for years to come.
