Hey lovely,

When it comes to planning a hens party, the budget is entirely up to you. While these events can be pricey, it really depends on the type of experience you're looking to create.

Here are a few questions to consider:

Is it a single-day event or an overnight stay with accommodation?
Do you have the finances to cover activities yourself, or would you prefer to split costs?
Would your friends prefer that you don't pay for anything?

Some brides I’ve worked with have budgeted around $500, while others have spent up to $1,000 for a weekend getaway.

My biggest recommendation is to have an honest conversation with your group early on. Ask if they have a budget or a spending limit in mind. This will help set expectations and reduce any disappointment if someone can't attend due to cost.

Ultimately, there’s no right or wrong amount to spend on a hens party — it all comes down to the bride’s preferences and what will make the experience memorable and joyful.

Happy planning! ?
