How To Plan Your Hen Night

Here are a few questions we would recommend you ask yourself before you decide on anything for your Hen do:

Hen Weekends are events that require a fair number of people to get them going but invite too many and the hen group will splinter. We recommend inviting as many of the Bride’s good mates as possible whilst really cutting down the number of acquaintances. Anywhere between eight and 20 people attending a Hen Night is a good number, however, this will really depend on how many good mates the bride has.

A Hen Night the night before the wedding is a really bad idea…this much, we presume, you’ve probably figured out. A Hen Do anywhere from 2 – 5 weeks before the actual wedding is fine.

We would recommend that the Hen Do is less of a Hen Night and more of a Hen Weekend. This will give you time to really get in to the Hen Night party spirit.

We would also suggest that you and the girls do your partying away from home (for obvious reasons). By incorporating a daytime activity (either pampering or something more active) in to your Hen Weekend you will ensure that the group doesn’t get too drunk too quickly. It will also allow any members of the group that don’t know each other to be able to meet properly and help bond the hen weekend group.

As you may be aware by now not all locations are great for Hen Weekends. Don’t worry! we have put compiled all of our packages from locations that are the best of the best for Hen Nights, i.e. locations that offer superb day-time activities, excellent accommodation and most importantly a thumping good night out! Don’t settle for second best on your Hen Night!

Ideally start getting numbers together 5 months before the Hen Night and start collecting money ASAP (once you’ve decided who to invite and where to go) otherwise you’ll find that a load of people drop out from the Hen night at the last minute.

Next, contact a specialist who can get you the best hotels, activities and nightlife (if you want the best then you’ll use WOW Weekends for your Hen Weekend, however, there are other companies who offer a budget service – but you do get what you pay for on a Hen Weekend).

If you take a look around the rest of the site you will see a whole range of WOW Hen Weekends for you to choose from. (We’ve arranged over 2000 Hen Weekends so we really do know what we’re doing).
