If you’re interested in getting that little bit extra from your Hen’s Party, pull up a chair, take notes and get ready to be the best friend ever!
- Book Early – booking early allows you to secure your ‘must do’ activities, without disappointment.
- Don’t wait for the stragglers to confirm – you can always add more people closer to the time.
- Agree on a per person budget – this will allow you to pick and choose the packages which suit your entire group.
- Agree on the activities your Bride will enjoy the most – there’s a lot to choose from, but you want her to have a memorable day/ weekend.
- Set a date for when money is due – the organizer shouldn’t have to pay for everything up front out of their own pocket.
The earlier you book, the better your choices. Simple.
- Get the date of the weekend and start planning your weekend of activities. If you plan your GirlzWeekend between 2 months in advance this will be enough time to sort out a great weekend / Hen’s Party. If you’ve already left it later than this: don’t stress – we are experts are last minute bookings.
- The earlier you book the more likely you are to receive great deals with accommodation and securing accommodation in the city center within walking distance of the night life rather than out in the middle of nowhere forking out all your money on cabs.
- So, gather your key people & closest friends for the weekend, decide how much money you’re likely to have for the most fun possible. This will determine which locations will give you the best value for money.
Got your budget, dates and location sorted?
- Now this is probably the worst part of the job but also the most important. Again, give strict deadlines for your group to confirm.
- Some of the more organized Hens Dos even set up a kitty for when they’re out on the weekend. We like the sound of that. You’ll like the sound if it too as it means that you’ll never get stuck with a hundred dollar round no matter how drunk you get.
Choose your Activities wisely.
- There are some places that offer awesome activities with amazing facilities in great locations. Then there are others that simply exist to rip off people just like you. GirlzWeekend don’t waste time sending people on rubbish activities, we source the cream of the crop in every city and send you there.
Lastly.
- When choosing the agent who will handle your GirlzWeekend / Hens Party, you will want people who really care that you’ll have the best possible time. You’ll want to deal with people who listen to your needs and make valuable suggestions based on a wealth of experience.
- Remember plenty of people and places love you but, respect goes a long way while you’re out enjoying your Hens Party. We know it’s difficult to believe but it’s true. Some people just don’t dig big groups. So, take our advice and spend your cash in places that welcome your vibe. Always, always, always dress to impress.
