A hen party planner for the person organising it
Organising a hen is a genuinely difficult admin job handed to one person who did not ask for it. Fifteen people, several of whom have never met, all with questions, all in one chat.
The two things that actually reduce the load are a single source of truth for the schedule, and a ledger so you are not personally financing the weekend.
One board instead of fifteen conversations
Everything on the board is visible to everyone on it. The activity time, the leave time, the address, the dress code in the notes. People stop asking when they can see.
Share one link into the group chat and anyone can join, account or not.
Stop personally funding the weekend
You have probably paid deposits for things months in advance. Log every one of them as an expense split across the group as soon as you pay it.
By the time the weekend comes, everyone can see exactly what they owe you, and settling up is a short list of payments rather than fifteen conversations you have to start.
Dress codes people can actually see
If Saturday night has a dress code, put it in the plan notes and let everyone add what they are wearing. Two people in the same thing is a much smaller risk when everyone can see the list.
Bring lists for the things people always forget
Attach what each activity needs to the activity: ID for the club, swimwear for the spa, cash for the boat. It all flows onto each person's packing list automatically.
Nobody else has to pay for the app
You pay £6.99 once and invite the entire hen. Given everything else you are paying for up front, charging fifteen people individually would have been indefensible.
Questions
- How many people can I invite?
- No limit once the holiday is unlocked.
- Can I keep part of it a surprise from the bride?
- Only by not putting it on the board until the day. Everyone on a trip sees everything on it.
- Can people who are not coming for the whole weekend join?
- Yes. Invite them, and only include them in the expenses for the parts they were actually there for.
