Organising A Hens Night
December 20th, 2010
Organising a hens night is no mean feat. If you have the job then I take my hat off to you. Coming up with hens night ideas is very difficult. You will come across the following issues:
- Don’t forget people.
- At my wifes hens many of my female friends and my male friends partners were left out because the organiser only invited the people she knew about. It is a good idea to ask both partners for a list of females to invite.
- Guests may feel left out of the loop.
- Get everyone’s email addresses and send a weekly update email and ask for ideas.
- Many guests wont know other guests
- Because when organising a hens night you have people that only know the hen and not friends. Play get to know you games at the start. Get everyone to write something about themselves on a piece of paper and drop it into a hat. Draw them out randomly and see if you can work out who it belongs to. The owner can then elaborate.
- Hens night activities can be expensive
- It costs money to have a good time but you don’t want to be left with the bill. Pick activities where people pay for themselves or perhaps get a commitment from people by having them transfer money into your bank early.
- The hen might feel self conscious
- Explain to the hen that a hens night is not about her and she just needs to do as she is told.
For a great activity if you are organising a hens night is a murder mystery party. A murder mystery party will give your night the structure it needs. Click to find out more about a hens night murder mystery party.
