The most important consideration when planning a hen party is the bride to be. Does she want a wild night out in a city or does she want to be pampered to perfection in a spa or does it lie somewhere in between? Whatever your boho bride’s to be decides her perfect hen do is you can easily incorporate a festival theme through your use of accessories and decorations. Recreate the festival vibe whether you are planning a cottage break, a garden party or a night out!
Setting a budget is likely to be the most difficult part of planning the hen do. Once you have determined how much the hen party is going to cost, make sure you let everyone attending know what they are expected to pay for accommodation, activities, drinks and transport. Make sure they understand what is included and what is not! We advise setting up a separate dedicated account early in the process that attendees can pay into each month. This should take the sting out of paying for the hen do in full!
Make sure you grill the bride to be on who should be attending the hen party. It will be a stressful and emotional time for her and with all her focus on the wedding she may not think about the hen do guest list until too late! Make sure you understand who should be attending early and, most importantly, send out some invitations early in the process to ensure everyone can attend!

Break all the rules on your festival hen party by ditching the L plates and dressing in a gorgeous boho outfit. Accessories are everything when it come to nailing festival chic!
Once you are styled to boho perfection it is important to make sure that your venue is also channeling that festival vibe!
The hen do is likely to go past in the blink of an eye and the bride to be may not get to see everything. Make sure you get snap happy with your camera phone so she can have a peek at all the action that she missed out on. Don’t forget to set up a specific hashtag for the hen night so everyone attending can share their photos together on Instagram. We would love you to add #henbox to your photos too so we can also have a good nose. There is nothing we like more than looking at a great hen do!
Create A Killer Playlist If you are throwing a festival theme hen party is super important to totally nail the playlist. Make sure you ask the Bride to Be what her favourite tunes are and incorporate them with some festival classics. In homage to Dolly Parton headlining Glastonbury this weekend we think you should make sure that Jolene and Islands in the Stream get played as loud as possible!
Just remember to have fun! It is a lot of responsibility to organise a hen do and can be a stressful process. Try not to worry too much on the day and let your hair down and have a party!
