Time to get your hen party or stag do organised!

Don’t let logistics spoil your stag and hen celebrations. To make everything go according to plan, be sure you’ve got a plan in place.  Theoretically, it is the chief bridesmaid or best man’s job to get things organised, so at least ask them to lend a hand!  Follow our guide to make sure your celebrations become something to remember.

• Draw up list of people to invite.
• Select a town/venue that’s easily accessible to everyone.
• If you’re planning to go abroad, make sure that everyone can afford it.  You don’t want to end up leaving people out just because they don’t have the funds to support it.
• Decide on what kind of stag/hen you think would be best for the people involved.  What would people like to do?
• Set the itinerary and make inquiries and provisional bookings.
• Don’t go too over the top. You might like the idea of a week in Barbados, but not everyone will want to spend that amount of time or money celebrating the occasion. If you want to do something big, stick to close friends only.
• Send out your invitations - you can find really stylish invitations that don’t break the bank from The Designer Card Company.
• Let stags/hens know well in advance if there’s anything extra they should bring such as props, old photos, overnight bag, etc.
• Pre-book everything in advance to make sure you aren’t thwarted by not being able to get into a venue/restaurant. Confirm in writing or by email, especially for accommodation, and reconfirm the day before.
• Let everyone know how and when payment is to be made.
