Find out below how to organise a hen party for an active bride.

Get The Right People Invited

Hopefully, the bride to be has indicated who she wants to attend the hen party. If you’re in doubt, ask her to make up a list. You could have the most unforgettable hen party in the world, but if key people close to the bride are missing, then she’s not going to fully enjoy herself. Then, judging by the numbers, you can start formulating plans. The key decision to make here is how long the hen party should go on for. If a large party of people are attending, then consider organising a hen party over two days – Adventure Britain provides hen party programmes that take place over the course of a weekend, for example.

As always, double check with the bride to be. Strong lines of communication will go a long way in all of the following pointers. Seeing as the bride will be active, consider the physical limitations of those you are inviting and organise activities everyone can be involved with to some level.

Budget: The Key to Locations and Activities

Budget will, sadly, largely determine much of the hen party. From location, theme to the activities you want to get up to, if the budget isn’t there, then these are not possible.

Alternatively, looking for cost-effective options for a bit of fun can go a long way, even if you have a larger budget to play with.

Pick a Theme With The Bride In Mind

Picking a theme can be tough, but as long as you know what the bride likes, then it shouldn’t cause too much of a headache. Choosing a theme that the bride has a personal investment in or an aesthetic that appeals to her sense of humour should do the job. If you’re struggling for ideas, try talking to the bride or searching online for popular choices. Once a theme has been decided, then you’ll need to tailor each activity to that theme. A theme works better when the activities themselves are complimentary of the overall hen, this gives the party a cohesive, thought-out vibe.

The major question you should be asking when thinking about how to plan a hen do is how you can make the whole thing consistent – a theme is the ribbon that ties the whole party together. For an active bride to be, you’ll want some of the action-based activities to loosely fall into the overall theme of the hen party.

Remember Accommodation, Transport and Other Extra Costs

In all the excitement of organising what to take to a hen party and where to have it, it’s easy to forget about extra costs and factors like accommodation, transport and miscellaneous extras. Ensure you pick good accommodation that suits the bride’s tastes and falls into budget. For accommodation, there may be scope to decorate it in line with the overall theme.

Transport, too, needs to be considered, especially for an active bride. If the bride wants to enjoy a number of activities, then you’re likely going to be doing a lot of travelling. Book travel well in advance to save money or, alternatively, host the hen party at a location which has a variety of activities on site.

Then there are extra costs to consider. From photography to party bags, miscellaneous costs can creep up on you and be unavailable on short notice. A good time to sort the extras out is when planning the theme so little bonuses like sashes, balloons, scrap books and bunting can fall in line with it.
