3. Agree on a Budget

Agree on a Budget

Remember that when setting a budget, it needs to accommodate everyone. It may be a good idea to ask each of the girls privately what their budget is, and then you can find a suitable budget everyone is willing to pay. Often, hen parties cover the bride’s expenses, so it’s important to collectively decide if everyone is on board with the idea.

4. Set the Date

Decide on the best date! Try to find a time that all your invitees can comfortably do and how long you want to celebrate. An easy way to do this is by setting up a poll, where each hen can tick the date that suits them best. A celebratory hen weekend of 1 or 2 nights is usually a great start!
