Have you been given the honour of planning a hen party? If so, this 10 point guide is here to help you create a memorable event.

1. Think about what the hen likes and what she doesn’t. While you may want to organise a few surprises, it is still important that she has a good time, so don’t feel you can’t ask her for input.

2. Consider who will be coming along and what will be to their tastes. For instance, if the hen’s mum is coming, she may have different expectations to that of her daughter’s friends.

3. Discuss ideas with other guests and decide on an outlined plan for the day and/or evening.

4. If you’re going on a night out as part of the hen do, you need to choose a town or city that you can go to. This may be your local town or it may be a city your friend has always wanted to visit.

5. Once you’ve decided on a location, you need to start scoping out venues. You may want to stay in one place for all or most of the evening. Alternatively, you may want to visit a few different places.

6. If you want something specific from the evening, such as a bar that serves cocktails, make sure you check that the venues you’re looking at can provide it.

7. If you want food, get menus for the bars and restaurants you’re considering and make sure it fits into your respective budgets and is to your liking.

8. Once you’re happy with your choice, get in touch with your list of invitees and tell them your plan for the evening. Get rough numbers of who is planning on coming along.

9. Contact the venues and check availability for the date you have in mind. Provide rough numbers to secure the booking or pay whatever deposit is required.

10. Let all the invitees know what the plan is and ask them for payment as soon as possible. It can be costly if they don’t pay up on time, so be prepared to chase them.

If you’re organising a hen party, make sure you find the perfect hen party venue for you and your friends.
