In Australia, a hens' night party is an absolute must for future brides. If your head is already bubbling with ideas for a special friend who's about to get married, you should hold your horses. There are a couple of vital tips every organizer should keep in mind first.
#1- Don't plan anything that will embarrass or compromise the bride.
It's a fact that many future brides and their friends like to have nearly wild night outs. The logic is that, it will be the bride's last day of freedom. Hence, bar trips and encounters with the opposite gender are commonly planned activities. Be very careful though. Always remember that your friend is going to get married and is not out looking for a new boyfriend. Never create circumstances that might embarrass or put your friend in a very bad position.
It's also best to ask the guest of honor what she wants. She may or may not want to have a crazy time in a bar.
#2- Settle the costs in advance.
A hens' party can get pretty messy if you have to call out to the participants to start chipping in at the venue. For a smoother event, collect cash from participants in advance. To do this, you need to actually already have a plan for the venue and activities. Prepare a breakdown of estimated costs so the participants know exactly how much they need to chip in.
#3- Make the event private if possible.
Many bachelorette parties are held in bars or restaurants. There's no problem with this especially if the guest of honor specifically requests for a public venue. If she doesn't though, you should initially plan to set-up the event in a private location. A hens' night party is meant to serve as a time for female bonding. This can be difficult if not all participants know each other well. You will make the task of making new acquaintances even harder if you organize the event in a noisy bar.
#4- Prepare for the morning after.
Alcoholic beverages are almost always part of bachelorette parties. If this is the case with the event you're organizing, make sure you've got some headache medication, water and lots of wet towels for the morning after. Even if no alcohol is involved, you should still prepare some commonly used medication in case a participant gets an upset stomach or a dizzy spell in the morning after all the late night activities and food.
#5- Survey a few other friends for games.
Games are an essential part of parties like this. These are some of the best tools to foster female bonding. Undoubtedly though, there are some games that are just absolutely lame. If you're not a good game creator, you should ask the other participants for their ideas. Aside from getting a few good suggestions, knowing what the participants prefer will help keep the event enjoyable.
A hens' night party should be a truly unforgettable evening for a future bride. As the organizer or participant, it's your responsibility to make sure your friend will absolutely love it. Follow these essential tips first and you can't go wrong.
