Some last-minute tried-and-true tips for planning the ultimate hens parties
Start early. You’re going to be trying to wrangle multiple calendars, so it’s a good idea to lock down a date for the hens party early and start the planning process as soon as possible.
Keep an eye on your budget. Make sure you talk to everyone ahead of time to gauge where everyone is at in terms of budget. After all, you want everyone to be having a fun, carefree time!
Arrange transport. Vans, Ubers, hired drivers… Whatever you choose, make sure you’ve organised it all before the night begins.
And the last piece of advice? Have fun!
Don’t forget that you’re also part of the hens party! You’ve done the hard work of getting everyone together and finding the right activity. You deserve to partake in the celebration, too!
