“Hen’s parties can end up getting quite expensive or stressful for the bridesmaid­s. The great thing is that most hen’s party dates are organised well in advance, so encouragin­g those attending to deposit a small weekly automatic payment into an account will make it feel more affordable for those attending. Plus, it takes the stress off the organisers having to follow up with payments or even worse, last minute pull- outs.” @laws_149

“The best hen’s parties are when everyone has a really good time, especially the bride – her mood sets the whole tone for the party. My best memory would be going on my friend’s hen’s party in Taupo and going on Sail Barbary. We all dressed to a nautical theme, cranked some great music, ate, and drank wine on the sail boats. It was such good fun. My number one tip would be to talk to the bride.” @lively_ and_co

“To be honest, I have never planned a hen’s party but I’m really looking forward to my own next year. My favourite memory from a hen’s party I’ve been to was my friend wearing a penis costume all night – a total highlight!” @makeupbyan­nalee
