HOW TO: ORGANISE THE BEST SPA HEN PARTY

What do you do if someone very close to you is now engaged? You might be their go-to person when it comes to organising a celebration leading up to their special day. What are your options? You could throw an amazing spa trip for all the ladies involved in the wedding, making everyone feel completely pampered. Here are our tips that will help make the best party.

Plan the duration of the event. Is this going to be a full weekend away or just the one day only? You’ll need to look into different price options to set your budget and you’ll also need to see if the guests are available for the full week. Some could have young children and you wouldn’t want them to feel left out. Once you’ve all decided, then it’s time to look at different spa trips.

Decide what the event will look like in stages. Do you know what type of spa party do you want? It's really important to investigate the different ways you can fit a spa break into a weekend or in one day.

For example, you might want treatments followed by a night out on the town later on, therefore a city hotel might be the best location so you have a good choice of bars and restaurants within walking distance.

Or, you could actually want the event to be built around a spa only, so a lovely countryside scene could be ideal instead, taking you away from everyday surroundings. Once you have all agreed on what the day or weekend will involve, then you can start to look at different locations that will suit your plans better.

Think carefully about the dates. The bride could end up deciding to have a spray tan that could be too dark or their facial could bring out impurities in her skin before clearing up, making her look blemished, which is the last thing she’ll want right before her wedding day. Many skin treatments take some time to have their full effect, meaning that the bride to be could end up with the beautiful skin she wants after her wedding instead of on the day.

Instead, plan the spa party a good week or two before the wedding itself. This will mean manicures will last and results of treatments will settle to give her a healthy glow. Plus, it also makes the lead up much more enjoyable, instead of everything fitting into a couple of days.

Make sure you include extra special details. Does your bride love good champagne with strawberries? Ring up the place you will be staying and discuss the extras that will make the event tailor made to her. You want the spa trip to be easily recognised as a hen party; therefore do whatever you can do add extra details. Perhaps get towels embroidered with people’s names on them so they can take them home as a souvenir. Brainstorm with the other guests about what could give a special touch and make it the most memorable time she's had with her friends.

Make sure your bride doesn’t pay. Weddings cost a lot of money anyway, so chances are, your bride will have a strict budget to take into consideration. Take the hassle off her hands by getting your guests to chip into the overall amount so she can sit back and just have fun with her friends without worrying.
