Some believe the best parties are the ones we don’t plan. We’ve all had that experience, but how can that level of fun be guaranteed to a hen party? Because let’s face it, a hen do is planned weeks, if not months in advance. The high expectations for the night being great fun is often too much. So you’ve got to plan this monster carefully so that it doesn’t turn from a dream into a nightmare!

Here’s the start of your check-list, you need to decide:

  • Duration – one day/night or weekend
  • Location – local city, different county, different country
  • Staying – home, hotel, holiday resort
  • Size – small group of close friends, large group (family, in-laws, work colleagues, school mates etc.)
  • Organiser – Do it yourself, or let your maid of honour do it, or let a group of friends organise it together, or hire professional party planners

Take into consideration the cost for individuals attending the celebration. While some of your friends might have no problem shelling out wads of cash for a hen weekend in Dublin, it could prove too much of a financial strain for others. Also, making sure you have booking money from all the guests in time can be difficult so keep this in mind when planning.

How to Plan a Classy Hen Party

The stereotypical hen night conjures images of noisy, wild, scantly clad women let loose on the town in a no holds-barred drinking binge.

If that does NOT appeal to you as a good night out then the following ideas will help you plan a classy hen night that is every bit as much fun.

So read on and find out how the class ladies get their kicks with a stylish hen party do.

Health Spa

health spaWhy not start the day with a pampering at a health spa? Go for the full works including sauna, massage, facial treatment, exfoliation and heated pool. Follow that with a relaxed lunch with your hens for good conversation and recounting fun times you’ve had together.

shopRetail & Coffee

Follow lunch with a little retail therapy; tour the local boutiques and high street shops for some compulsive buying. Stop for coffee along the way and just take your time to enjoy the day and each others company.

Cheese & Wine

A popular classy hen night option is to have a Cheese & Wine evening with close female friends. Choose a wide selection of cheeses from strong to mild tasting and from different countries. You’ll be surprised at the variety of cheeses available at local supermarkets, but if possible also try gourmet cheese shops and delicatessens for something extra special.


Again, do the same with your wine selection and test your guests on the type, vintage and ingredients of the wine. Can they hazard a guess at what country or region the wine is from? What fruits or spices can they identify?

Ask the hens to bring photos from favourite times together and laugh about old times.

Evening Entertainment

Head to a jazz bar or other live music venue for drinks, entertainment and more chat. You can decide to head home or go to a dance club to finish the perfect classy hen night.
