Guide for the First-time Bridesmaids

A bridesmaid’s first time as an attendant is typically filled with excitement, anxiety, and lots of last-minute preparations, which can be overwhelming and stressful – especially if you have never been in this role before. We’ve created the ultimate guide to being a first-time bridesmaid to help you get ready for your big day and plan the best hens night for your bestie.

Prepare the Guest List

The first thing you need to do is to prepare a guest list. Be careful when you create the guest list because you don’t want to end up inviting someone whom the bride doesn’t want to be on her last night of freedom. Also, determine the group size as it has a significant impact on your decisions of lodging and hens party activities.

Find a Location

Choosing a location for your party is often one of the most difficult decisions you’ll make. Hens nights can be thrown just about anywhere, private homes, restaurants, bars and clubs. The best places for a hens night usually have plenty of space for hens night games and dancing, plus a supply of drinks and food to snack on.

Pick a Date

If you’re holding a hens night, pick a date that won’t clash with any other events and will work with your venue’s availability.

Plan Hens Night Activities

A hens night is a perfect occasion to bond with your close girlfriends, so it’s important to plan something fun! From hilarious hens party games to unique hens night accessories, there are plenty of things that you can invest in (at affordable prices) to make your hens night a great hit.

Pay Attention to the Budget

When planning a Hens Night, it’s important to plan out your budget before you even think about booking any venues or buying hens night accessories. If you get carried away with purchases and end up spending too much, you may not have enough money to pay for things like food and accommodation.
