Who Gets Invited To A Hens Night?

Mommy Hen

Although it may be unpopular, some brides will wish to honour their mothers and grandmothers by inviting them to the wedding. Because mums and grandmas are control freaks who need to be a part of everything, asking them for advice will get you some additional points. Even though Eveline, at age 80, probably won't want to participate in a game of It's a Knockout for fear of breaking a hip, spectators are usually welcome at most competitions. Since she still has the wedding to looking forwards to, Mother Hen would appreciate some peace and quiet if you arrange for a trusted family friend to stay with her while you travel the country.

Friends

This should be obvious. The bride will definitely want to invite her frequent cocktail bar companions. Gather a list of potential invitees by reviewing her top 8 friends on Myspace, scanning her Facebook page, and reading her texts.

Colleagues

She encounters these individuals on a daily basis; nonetheless, she has never extended an invitation to them. A negative response indicates that she does not want these individuals attending her hen party. Your mission is to fill the party with people who make her feel safe, loved, and thrilled for a killer weekend. Do you think she'll feel comfortable belting out "Girls simply want to have fun" at 2 a.m. in front of her coworkers? You should be asking yourself questions like this.

Relatives Who Live Away

Getting people from far away to the wedding might be a priority if you plan on inviting them. Check to see if they may stay for the wedding if it's soon after the hen party (the wedding is always the priority though). Ask whether they would be available again for hen weekend instead of the wedding if they are unable to attend the ceremony.

Friends Of Friends

Could I bring a friend along? When she comes over, can she bring a friend? You should probably decline most of these offers. Why should the bride attend a hen party if no one has met her before? Just the most part, they'll be spending the weekend together, at which point your party will transition from a large gathering into a romantic getaway for the two of them. Sure, ask your neighbours out for drinks, but after you've done that, the line of people wanting to join you will only become longer.

Is It Appropriate To Invite Mothers?

Historically, only female relatives and sometimes some close female friends were invited to the hen's night. Although hen parties are becoming increasingly wild and outrageous, less brides are bringing their mothers and mothers-in-law and instead opting to celebrate with their closest friends.

Before deciding whether or not the bride's mothers should be invited, you should think about the bride's age, the mothers' behaviour, and your relationship with bride. You should invite them to the hen party if the couple wants them there and if they're young enough tolerant enough to have a good time. If you plan on inviting mum, you should also invite her mother and any sisters-in-law.

Whether or not mums are invited depends on the nature of the hen party. They might not want to go if there will be a lot of drinking, dancing, and dirty challenges for the bride. However, they could be more interested in attending if the event included a day at the spa and dinner. A compromise might be to invite the mothers to afternoon tea and then have a wild hen's night once they've all gone home.

There's really only one thing you should never do on a guest list. Harrison stresses the importance of not inviting someone to the wedding who has not been invited. "This also applies to your bathroom shower." If not, feel free to invite as many people as you like. Please remember that you are still celebrating your upcoming bachelorette party instead of the actual wedding. You may expect a memorable & stress-free weekend if you invite just the most special of guests—so go ahead and Marie Kondo that guest list.
