Need some help planning a hen’s night? Start looking here.<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Landing yourself a spot on the #TeamBride entourage comes with some special responsibilities…from helping the bride make key decisions (like which cake icing looks best) to planning a hen\u2019s party for her. The latter might sound fun and simple, but it gets a little tricky when it comes down to the details.<\/p>\n

To make sure the bride gets an unforgettable time with her besties before the big day, some hard questions need to be asked. Can we invite (insert name)? Is an out of town party taking it too far? Who pays for this and that?<\/p>\n

We know how you feel, girlfriend. That\u2019s why we\u2019ve put down these unspoken rules every bridesmaid or Maid of Honour\u00a0should know when planning for a hen\u2019s night!<\/p>\n

Rule #1 Surprises are optional<\/h2>\n

The first thing to consider when planning a hen\u2019s night is the personality of the bride. Is she a grab-and-go kind of girl or does she need time to prepare before heading out? Does she have a year-long calendar or does she use post-its for her daily schedule? The spontaneous bride will love surprises, while the plan-loving bride might freak out. The former can be left wondering what\u2019s going to happen and the latter should be involved throughout the planning.<\/p>\n

Rule #2 It doesn\u2019t have to be X-rated\u2026all the time<\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s face it, a little naughtiness<\/a> here and there can stir up some laughs at a party – Yeah, those cookies in G-strings are fine! But if you want the night to be really special, do something that the bride would love. Is she a music lover? Arrange a karaoke night. Is she an outdoorsy type? Go for an evening of Glamping under the stars. If you need some help setting up the party,\u00a0<\/a>one of these \u00a0professional planners<\/a> would be happy to do it for you.<\/p>\n

Rule #3 You can split the bill<\/h2>\n

Being the head honcho doesn\u2019t mean you have to be the main financer, too. It\u2019s of course okay to ask everyone invited to chip in and treat it as a shared gift for the bride-to-be. You can email the hens a budget list so you get everyone on board before booking anything ahead.<\/p>\n

Rule #4 Ask the bride who she wants to invite<\/h2>\n

Even if the party is going to be a surprise, you should ask the bride first hand who she wants to be there. She doesn\u2019t have to know any other detail apart from that (Or ask her fianc\u00e9 if you\u2019re\u00a0 THAT serious in keeping it a secret). Knowing the number of people going and whether or not her mum and aunts are coming along will affect the kind of party you\u2019d be hosting. If you\u2019re still unsure of what to do, this hen\u2019s night organiser promises the #besthensever. <\/a><\/p>\n

Rule #5 What happens at the hen\u2019s party\u00a0stays at the hen’s party<\/h2>\n

Need we say more? If the bucks have their bro code, the hens have their chick code\u2014pun intended. Of course, you can post bride-approved photos on social media to share your fun night. But don\u2019t think twice about keeping any kind of the embarrassing photos away from the public eyes!<\/p>\n

Rule #6 Take care of what the bride should wear<\/h2>\n

If the bride doesn\u2019t know yet where the party is going to be, make sure you prepare something for her to wear. You can even get her a hair and makeup artist to make her feel and look extra special for the evening. Or better yet, spend more girl time together before heading out by inviting over a mobile glam team!<\/a><\/p>\n

Rule #7 Get the bride to her groom safe and sound the following day (or whenever the hen\u2019s event ends)<\/h2>\n

Look out for your friend up to the last minutes of the night. The last thing you\u2019d like is to have a missing bride! Ultimately, the squad\u2019s goal is to support the bride all the way to her big day.<\/p>\n
