That may be great fun, but for the wedding party on a budget, scaling back the hen night plans can be just as much fun as an expensive night out. As the guests will often pay to cover the bride’s cost, trust us, they will thank you for a more modest hen night in.
Wedding Party Accessories
Start by checking out the Wholesale Wedding Supplies range of wedding party accessories—that will provide the perfect atmosphere for your party. One word of advice: if you hold your hen party at someone else’s home, you won’t be stuck with the clean-up. With any luck, one of your wedding party will have a great party space you can use.
Set your colour scheme and tone (as well as protecting surfaces and décor) by using bolts of tulle to create a pretty party backdrop. Wedding wholesale supplies are a great source of other party accessories too, from napkins to party props.
Make the most of other wholesale discounts by buying in wine by the case, perhaps even direct from a vineyard, and party snacks in bulk. If you fancy more of a meal than a homemade buffet, ask your wedding caterer if they can offer you a deal for catering the hen do, too. Alternatively, leave the food for your maid-of-honour to arrange.
Wedding Supplies
The smart wedding planning doesn’t have to end there. Take the opportunity to try out your wedding playlist on your hen night guests. See what gets them dancing and what leaves your hens sitting in their nests by putting together favourite tracks on a media player.
A great advantage of a house hen party is that the day and night can merge, with less of a tight time schedule to get from restaurant to bar to club. Make the most of any down time by having some simple wedding craft activities on the go for hens to help out with. Whether it’s assembling and filling favour boxes or creating origami decorations, simple DIY jobs like these will help your friends feel involved, break the ice and give people something to do between drinking, dancing and eating.
If your hen party is bringing together a mixed group of people who may not know each other, a party at home can your guests feel more relaxed. Mothers of the groom and bride are among the traditional hen party guests, but they may well be put off by a night out on the town or a paintballing trip. Perhaps the best part of a hen party in someone’s home, however, is that you don’t have far to go at the end of the night. Party till you drop and then curl up in a cosy bed until morning.
