Hen Party Invitations – Things You Need To Know
Every hen party needs a great invitation simply because it adds a personal touch to proceedings before the event and there is nothing like being invited the old fashioned way with a nice card though the mail. But not just any old invitation will do. A nicely crafted and themed approach adds class and the card itself can help with the overall planning and organisation of the hen party. Let us take a look at some of the main things for you to consider and give you some ideas.
Sure, it is possible to plan the hen night and send invitations using email, Twitter, Facebook, text message or any other electronic communication but ask yourself if that is the best way to do it. Wouldn’t you feel much more involved and considered to receive a personally addressed and hand written invitation on a good quality card containing all the details and asking you to RSVP. Much more classy that a text message – am I right? So if you are planning your own hen party or on behalf of the bride then the format of the invitation is something you will want to take care over.
Select a good quality of card for the invitations and make sure they contain some important information. Some of the considerations you will want to keep sight of are as follows.
Do you need to follow a particular theme or style. If the hen party is to follow a set theme then the invitations need to reflect that. This ensures that attendees have an early heads up about this and have plenty of time to get their own costumes ready and dress appropriately for the party.
Give some brief detail of any entertainment which may be part of the celebrations. Be clear about of attendees have to pay their own way if say a meal at a fancy restaurant is involved or if everyone is expected to pitch in with a certain amount of money to take care of things ,like drinks and incidentals. This is important to make sure that there are no unpleasant surprises where money is involved so people know what is included and what is not.
Be sure make guests aware with the invites if it is a surprise party or any elements are to be secret from the bride to be. Nothing worse than the surprise being let out of the bag so telling them in advance when sending out the invitations ensures people know what to keep quiet about.
And of course do not forget the basic, but oh so essential, information such as date, time, location, where to meet and any transport arrangements. This includes transport to the party and possibly to take people home again afterwards if necessary. This way people know if they need to arrange their own taxi home for example.
Be certain to ask people to R.S.V.P. Then you know who is going to attend which can help with planning other things such as seating arrangements, buying any tickets for example if a show is involved and similar.
Now you have a good idea of the things you must consider to put together high quality and personalised hen party invitations which will help with the overall planning also. Simple pre-planning will help the party go all the smoother.
