How To Have A Hens Night On A Budget
A hens night party is a rite of passage for any bride-to-be. It is a celebration of her last night out as a single lady after all! If you have the duty of organising a hens party, there are many details to consider. One of the most important details is the cost of party to those attending. If you are looking for some ways to keep costs down, look no further. Check out our ideas on how to have a fantastic hens night party on a budget.
Venue
Instead of hiring a venue, hold the hens party at someone's house. Whether it be at the chief bridesmaid's house, or at the mother of the bride's home, choose a place that will accommodate the number of hens expected at the party. By holding the party at a place familiar to the bride-to-be, not only will you eliminate the cost of hiring a venue, but it is also a great way to include close family or friends in the festivities.
Decorations
There are some great hens party decorations available to buy online. However, these decorations can be expensive, especially if you have a large venue to decorate. Why not try getting a team together to make some decorations for the hens party. Crepe paper, balloons, and ribbon can be purchased for minimal cost. All it will take to make some decorations is a couple of hours with a group of hens.
Party Food
Depending on the style of hens party you have chosen, a good way to reduce the cost of the snacks and food is to ask each hen to bring a plate. Each hen can make, bake, or cook something delicious for the bride's last night of freedom! The added bonus is that you will end up with a variety of snacks for the night.
Transport
If you plan on hitting the town after the initial festivities, you will need some sober drivers game enough to take all the hens into town. Taxis are an option but they can be costly. Another option is to kindly ask boyfriends, husbands, brothers, or dads to be drivers for the evening.
