When you’re the maid of honor of duties to perform. You’re going to be helping organize the big day, you’re going to be getting bridesmaids dresses ready, you’re going to be trying to keep the bride-to-be from going completely insane from stress. However, most importantly of all, you’re going to be in charge of planning the hen party! This can be one of the most stressful things for a lot of maids of honor since it’s the kind of thing that needs a lot of planning all on its own. But don’t worry, there are certain things that you can do in order to make sure that it goes off without a hitch. With that in mind, here are just a few things to think about when trying to throw the perfect hen party.
Know what the bride wants
One of the most common mistakes that a lot of maids of honor make when planning a hen party is that they throw then kind of party that they would want rather than the one that the bride would want. Make sure that you always keep the bride in mind when you’re planning the party no matter what. Otherwise, you’re going to fall into the trap of doing all of this planning on your perfect party and the bride is going to end up feeling pretty annoyed!
Invite the right people
This isn’t just any party, it’s the kind of party that you’re only going to get to throw once, which means that you want it to be as stress and drama free as possible. Because of that, make sure that you only invite the people that the bride really wants there. This is not the time to throw a pity invite to someone that the bride hates because you feel bad. If that happens then it’s just going to bring a whole lot of tension into a night that supposed to be about having fun and celebrating one of the most important people in your life.
Don’t be afraid to think outside the box
Since a hen party is supposed to be special, the last thing you want is for it to end up being kind of generic or obvious. So don’t be afraid to think outside the box a little bit. Instead of just going to a bar, why not find an interesting activity you can all do? Or, if you want to try something really different, here are a bunch of combined hens and bucks night ideas that you might want to consider. That way, the bride and groom aren’t going to spend all night worrying about what the other is up to all night long.
The most important thing to remember is that, as with so many other things about the wedding, the hen party is all about one person: the bride. If you really want to know what is going to make it perfect, just sit down and talk to them. After all, you can’t go wrong if you just find out exactly what they want, can you?
