Whether it’s a gift box full of glitter, a handmade card or a good old Facebook event, how you tell your girl gang about your hens party will set the tone for the entire event. It’s easy to get swept away by the excitement of the day, but it’s oh so important to get these details right. We know you just want to have fun, so we’ve come up with the must-have information to put on your hen’s party invites so your day is a stress-free and memorable one.
Include these tips, send away and let the RSVPs roll in!
What’s the event?
Are you having a pamper day with the girls or dancing until sunrise? Enjoying a fancy high tea or sipping on cocktails? Whatever you decide to do, make sure you include an itinerary so that your friends know what fun activities you’ve planned. Breaking your day down into an easy-to-follow plan also means that those who can’t stay for the entire event (or those on a budget) can still come and celebrate with their favourite bride-to-be.
Save the date
We know this seems obvious but let your friends know the date well in advance so they can put it in their diaries. We all know how busy life can get, so you want to make sure your girls can come to your special day. Also let your friends know where the activities will take place and at what time. This helps everyone plan and organise Ubers or lifts from partners, babysitters, or accommodation.
Splitting the Bill
Yes, it can be an awkward topic, but you don’t want to leave your girls or yourself in a tricky situation on the day. Whether you and your bridesmaids are shouting the entire hens party or guests need to pitch in, everyone will appreciate you being honest and upfront about any costs involved. This gives your friends the chance to think ahead, stick to their budgets, and enjoy their time with you on the day.
Dress to Impress
Your go-to party dress: pretty in pink? Or maybe funny costumes are your group’s vibe? Let your guests know what to wear and whether there will be outfit changes, so they come prepared. If you’re planning a sleepover or a girls’ trip, include a packing list of things your friends may need. They’ll appreciate the thought and effort you’ve gone to and it’ll make your hens run smoothly on the day.
RSVP
Make sure you set an RSVP date for your guests. Give yourself enough time to make the final arrangements and bookings for your special day so when it finally arrives you are prepared, excited, and ready to celebrate!
