If you’re not entirely sure what you do with a hen party book, keep reading as we share our top 5 ideas for how to fill your book!
A great way to fill your book is to start with photos. There are a few different ways you can do this:
If you’re asking your guests to fill in the memory book on the day of the hen party, make sure you bring lots of pens. You would be surprised at how quickly they run out or go missing. Buy some colourful pens before the hen party and leave them next to the book for people to fill in.
Other stationery bits you could order include:
When it comes to personalising your hen party book, as previously mentioned there are a couple of ways to do this.
If you are doing this, we think it is a nice idea to keep it a secret. So place it in a room where the bride cannot enter. Tell her she must not enter this room for the duration of the hen party. Then tell your guests to add a personal message to the book. Give your guests specific instructions so they know exactly what to do. For example, is it a page per person? Should they stick in a photo? How long should their message be? And don’t forget, to give them a deadline to make sure the book is finished before the hen party is over. You can then quickly pop it in a gift bag and give it to the bride at dinner or as people leave.
Alternatively, you can take lots of photos at the hen party and use the book as a photo album. That way, you can give the bride a special keepsake of her hen party on her wedding day as a surprise. You can be sure the tears will flow!
We love a good theme when it comes to hen parties. You just can’t go wrong! If you’re planning on having a theme for the hen do you’re throwing, try and match your accessories, decorations and gifts to the theme.
For example, if your bride loves pink, go all out with pink balloons, a pink sash and a matching pink hen party book!
Just make sure you choose the bride’s favourite colours scheme or theme, rather than yours! Looking for theme ideas? Check out our Hen Party Themes page.
To make it really special, make sure you keep your hen party book a surprise. After all, who doesn’t love a surprise?!
Tell your guests at the beginning of the hen party that it is a surprise to make sure no one slips up. That way, no one will be disappointed.
Looking for ideas for what to write in a hen party book? You’re in the right place! Here are some ideas to help you out.
This is where you can get all mushy and tell your bestie how you really feel about her.
If you don’t want to go all mushy, think about a funny story from your past. Add a photo to accompany it if you have one!
After all, the likelihood is that lots of guests will have to write in the hen party book. Keep it fairly succinct so that everyone has a chance to write something special.
It’s always nice to let the bride know how excited and happy you are for her. Her life is about to change and you will be a part of that whether you’re a bridesmaid or a guest. So let her know that you can’t wait to celebrate her big day with her!
Most importantly, be yourself. Don’t write too formally. Let your personality shine through and she’ll love it!
