Hen Party Do’s and Don’ts: Essential Tips for a Smooth Celebration

Hen Party Do’s and Don’ts: Essential Tips for a Smooth Celebration

Hen parties are legendary... but they can go from fabulous to flop if you don’t plan wisely. Whether you’re the bridesmaid, maid of honour or a super-organised friend, knowing the hen party do’s and don’ts is the secret to keeping the bride happy and the squad drama-free.

👑 Hen Party Do’s and Don’ts: What You Need to Know

Let’s break it down, so your celebration runs smoother than a bottle of prosecco.

✅ DO: Plan with the Bride in Mind

This sounds obvious, but you’d be surprised! Not every bride wants a wild night. Some love a glam club night (hint: Bistro Live is perfect for that), while others prefer a spa day or wine tasting. Always ask first.

❌ DON’T: Spring Big Surprises

Avoid springing anything major – like strippers or flights – unless you’re 100% sure the bride’s into it. Big surprises = big risk.

✅ DO: Book a Venue That Handles Everything

Trust us, this saves lives. Or at least group chats. A venue like Bistro Live gives you food, entertainment, drinks, and dancing – all sorted. Zero stress, maximum party.

❌ DON’T: Leave Planning to the Last Minute

Venues get booked up, especially in peak wedding season. Get those deposits down early so you’re not fighting for scraps (or stuck in the boring bar down the road).

✅ DO: Be Budget-Friendly

Create a clear budget from the get-go and stick to it. Not everyone wants to drop £300 on a weekend. Use tools like Splitwise to manage costs fairly.

❌ DON’T: Invite Drama Queens

If there’s someone who always brings tension, maybe… skip them this time? It’s about the bride, not group politics.
