Description
Organising a hen party, bachelorette or bridal shower sounds fun until the group chat fills up. One guest wants a weekend away, another cannot afford it, someone does not drink, and nobody has asked the guest of honour what they actually want. Most fallouts come down to money that was not discussed early and plans that did not include everyone.
This planner covers both parties in one place, so you can plan each one fairly, kindly and on budget. It comes from The Wedding Academy’s planner training.
Inside you will find:
- The difference between the two parties, and how to plan either, both or a joint celebration
- A guest of honour’s brief covering likes, no-gos, drinking and who to invite
- A who hosts and who helps table
- A guest list for both parties with RSVP and payment columns
- Five rules for splitting costs fairly, plus money scripts you can copy
- A budget and cost split table
- Seven theme and activity ideas, from spa days to brunch showers
- An inclusive planning checklist for non-drinkers, mobility, budget and more
- What to put on the invitation, and a planning timeline
- A list of games and activities, and a clear gift approach
- An itinerary sheet and a shower run sheet
It is built for maids and matrons of honour, friends and family hosting, and wedding planners who help clients with pre-wedding events.
With this planner filled in, everyone knows the cost before they say yes, nobody is left out, and the guest of honour gets a celebration that feels like them. You get to enjoy the party you organised.
