Hen weekend checklist
Planning a hen weekend can seem rather scary but don’t worry, we have you covered with hen activities and weekend hen ideas.
Nothing is off the table!
Guest list
Much like the wedding has a guest list, so does the hen party. You need to make sure that all your bridge’s best girl pals are invited. You need to make sure that everyone she would want to be there is there. This includes mothers of both bride and groom and any other female family members that would need to be included. They may choose not to come but the thought has been there to include them on an invite.
Hen activities
Once you have your guest list and numbers now’s the time to decide where you are going. Are you going to stay in the same country? Or fly somewhere different? Cost is going to have a big factor in this so make sure you have an idea of what everyone’s budget is. There is no point thinking of an exotic location if everyone can’t afford to pay the 5-star prices. Be realistic. Everyone has their lives and commitments. Some may have families and young children to think about.
If you are thinking of going away for a hen weekend then a dedicated hen party package may be for you or you may find it cheaper to find somewhere yourself.

How are you going to get there
Once you have a few ideas in place, you can look into transportation. It all depends on where you are going so air travel may be an option. You may even want to consider telling the hen party the location and allowing them to make their own way there at a time to suit them. Some may not want to travel until a Friday evening when they have finished work. Whereas others may want to book the time off to make the most of it. Be flexible.
If you need to travel to your weekend hen party then you may need:

Keep it social
Using social media can be a great way to keep everyone in the loop for the plans and costs. Setting up something like a private Facebook group could be an option. This way you can get your messages out and keep everyone informed. Another thing you could do is to create your own hashtag for the party. This way anyone taking and posting pictures on social medias like Twitter and Instagram can add the hashtag to the comments. Allowing everyone to keep up to date and have access to the pictures.
Have an Itinerary
Weekends go by so quickly so it’s ideal to have an itinerary or schedule of things to do. This could be kept a surprise or discussed in advance. This way you maximise the weekend and everyone will get enjoyment out of it without any dull moments.
Our favourite hen parties have been:
Life drawing – Enjoy a class like no other and try your hand at life drawing. The hen party will be completely entertained by each other’s drawings and have something to take away from the day.
Dance classes – Having dance lessons can be a great structured activity for an afternoon. It could be line dancing, ballroom, or even a glow in the dark dancing.
Afternoon teas – There are so many great places in the UK that offer out of this world afternoon teas. If your party prefers to have a hen party at home though, you can easily make a great afternoon tea by ordering some drink boxes yourself so everyone can try something new. Have a look at our drinks voucher codes here which could help you save money. (https://ukvoucherdeals.co.uk/coupon-category/drinks/)
Cocktail making – Who doesn’t love a cocktail?! Many pubs now have their own cocktail menu which is a great way to get everyone talking. You can do this in your hen party house as well! Our alcoholic drink Voucher codes are a great place to start. (https://ukvoucherdeals.co.uk/coupon-category/alcoholic-drinks/)
Three course meal – It may be that the bride is looking a special meal. Try and find somewhere out of the world that will impress everyone. You could do this at your hen party home too by ordering in food. Have a look at our party food voucher codes here to save money. (https://ukvoucherdeals.co.uk/coupon-category/party-food/)
Party houses – These are dedicated houses that you can rent out to have fun in. Some come with private chefs or a butler of sorts who can sort out all your activities in the home.
Have fun
Lastly, have some fun. This weekend is all about celebrating an upcoming wedding so enjoy yourself.
