Hens Party Planner

admin — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 10:36:50 +0000

Planning a hens party can be like planning a mini-wedding. You have guest lists, venues to book, transport to find, activities to arrange, costumes to wear, and the list goes on and on… Now this used to a huge task but thanks to technology we now have the means to make things easier. Here are a couple of recommendations for making your life a whole lot easier:

1. Facebook – set up an event and invite all your friends in one go. The guests can RSVP online and you can email updates as you go. The limitation of this is if friends are not on facebook they can often get left out!

2. Use a hens party planner service. There are a number available online, but my favourite is from Hens Party HQ. This service allows you to invite guests, send out updates, location maps, add photos and generally just set up your hens party all in one location.

Hens Party Weekends

admin — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 13:21:32 +0000

Why have just one night for your hens party when you can have a whole weekend? After all this is meant to be your last hoorah, and if you are going to do it then you may as well do it right! But just be warned straight off that if you are going to take this route that you really need to put some time into doing it so that everything flows well.

The main things to do:

Choose a location that fits your overall theme – classy, adventurous, relaxed or wild.

Choose a place to stay that can be accessed relatively easily and preferably has a communal area where you can all easily convene. The worst situation is all trying to squeeze into someones room for group events.

Get out and about by choosing an activity in your area that you can all get involved in. Yes, a relaxing weekend can drinking wine late into the night and sleeping in, but even a walk out can be great. But for those you wanting a bit more excitement I would recommend paint-balling, horse riding or even go-karting.

Organise transport – this is particularly important as everyone has different commitments and getting there together can be a nightmare if not planned. The same goes for any transport while you are away. Just try getting 20 women to the bar from a cottage in the country without advance planning!

Finally consider budget and be upfront early on about costs. You don’t want to be lumbered with all the costs as people forget to pay or are put out by unexpected fees.

Other than that you can do what you like so get in there and have fun!

Classy Hen Party Ideas – Pamper Party

admin — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 12:54:40 +0000

The problem with organising a beautiful wedding day is that it takes a lot of time, money and effort from all involved. Particularly the bride and her bridesmaids. It is for this reason that the pamper party is such a successful hens party theme. Set amid the rush and fatigue of planning lies an oasis of calm and relaxation in your own home and allow the bride to prepare herself for the big day both mentally and physically.

There a number of ways you can run this depending on your time and budget.

The first is to get in a pamper party specialist. Very much like a tupperware party, a host will come along and allow you all to try various products that are on offer and treat each other to simple manicures, pedicures and even facials. This takes virtually no organisation and the cost is set by each guest as they decide on products they would like to buy. The added benefit is that the bride will often get a percentage of all purchases to buy some products for herself.

The second option is to run your own pamper party at home. While this does take more effort it is also more personal and less restricted with times or the need to buy anything. You can get the other guests involved by bringing their favourite products to share, or bring in a beautician or a massuer that can treat the girls throughout the day while the rest of you give each other manicures and the like.

Either way this party is all about the relaxation so set up your home with candles and music and really chill out..

Right, so going away for a few days isn’t exactly an option but you’d still like to treat your friend to a memorable experience. A spa pamper party ends up doubling as preparing your friend for her big day – the bride is often given extra attention and certain treatments can be thrown in as a bonus.

By making a group booking you minimise the stress of having to plan an entertaining itinerary, as these themed spa experiences take care of the day for you. Don’t forget about all the additional facilities such as plunge pools, saunas and steam baths that will allow you to relax and enjoy some quality time with your friends, either before or after therapists takes care of everybody’s grooming needs. Not only that they’ll provide healthy snacks and treats for all of you to indulge into.

Hens Party Games – Post-it Note Game

admin — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 14:04:20 +0000

This hens party game is a great one for getting to know one another better and is a really nice one for the bride as she has a chance to reminisce with close friends.

To play this game you will need a number of large post-it notes and pens. Each guest must then write a sentence or two of a memory that they have of the bride, and pass it back to you. All notes are then placed in a hat for the bride to take out and read aloud.

After reading she must then guess who wrote the story, what it is about and then tell the story to the rest of the group. This is high on my list of hens party games as it adds that personal touch and is quite often a real laugh for everyone involved.

Classy Hen Party Ideas – Top Hotel Bar

admin — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 18:09:14 +0000

A great choice to start out any classy hen party night is to meet in a top hotel bar. On entering the venue, your guests will be greeted by the doorman and invited into opulent surroundings that will definitely set the stage for the evening ahead. Sip champagne and cocktails, nibble on canapés and enjoy the excellent service.

Of course the main point of this option is to create the mood and as such this does not have to be a hotel bar but any top notch bar or restaurant that suits your hens party style. Do remember to ask your hens to dress appropriately as this will have a marked impact as well.

Three of my favourites are:

Claridges in London, UK
Windsor Hotel in Melbourne, Australia
The Plaza in New York, USA

Hens Party Games – Purse Scavenger Hunt

admin — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 17:51:54 +0000

This is a very quick and simple game that reveals a lot about the girls in the group and can be quite humorous as you discover just how much and exactly what the other guests hold in their purses.

Prior to the night create a list of items that you may expect to find in a handbag or purse. On the night you will read out the items and the girls get a point for every item they have in their purse. For an added twist you can also add points if they either find the item in a friends handbag first or for double points from a stranger.

Classy Hen Party Ideas – High Tea

admin — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 06:56:59 +0000

The ultimate posh experience for a classy hen party is that of High Tea. Sit back and relax while a myriad of staff members bring you endless pots of tea served with sandwiches, cakes, biscuits and scones. It is luxurious and decadent. The beauty of this day is that it is also extremely easy to co-ordinate. Simply book a slot at an exclusive restaurant and spend hours there at a set price. The only real downside of this event is that it is rather formal and is therefore not everyones cup of tea.. so make sure you know the guests that will be coming and gauge for suitability. You will also need to make sure your activities are definitely classy hen party games. One would not be so uncouth as to act irresponsibly.

Classy Hen Party Ideas – Fashion

admin — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 06:37:59 +0000

Pretty much every woman loves fashion and what better way to bring everyone together than to organise a day with a personal fashion consultant. The crux of this classy hen party is that the consultant will talk about general principles in finding the right styles and shapes for the season and body types, following on later with personal sessions with the girls to give them an overview on just what will suit them. I like to also add a beautician to the day who will also give tips and a mini make-over for the bride at the very least. During the session you can all drink champagne and discuss your own tastes and styles, and afterwards head out to the stores to use your new found knowledge of the fashion world! At the end of the day you can either construct your own fashion show at home or find a real one that is happening in your local city. This day is a lot of fun – just beware of the costs as it can really skyrocket! photo credit: BitchBuzz

Classy Hen Party Ideas – Spa Day

admin — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 14:00:30 +0000

This is one of my favourite classy hen party ideas as it is a perfect opportunity for the bride to really relax amid the stress of planning her wedding. What’s more, it can be a great break for the stressed out bridesmaids too!!

The key to this day is to determine your budget and group numbers first of all as this will determine whether you need to book out a day spa or whether you will organise a therapist or two to attend your home.

The next step is to find the right salon. You will want to find a place that offers group discounts and has the capacity to work on several girls at once and ideally has a space for you all to sit and relax between treatments. There is really nothing like lounging around with friends in fluffy white robes drinking champagne while waiting for your next facial or massage. Ask your friends for tips or just the local directory will give you some good directions in this.

Last of all you will need to think of some classy hen party games to go hand in hand with the day to make it more than just a day at the spa. For a day like this I would recommend games like the couples quiz or have you ever.
