Organising a hens or bucks? Here are must read tips on how to ‘avoid the awkward’

• Avoid the awkward: “Can you believe how much this hens night is costing?  Who does she think we are?”
• Work out a rough estimate of how much it’ll cost and get a sense of how much people are comfortable with.
• Then send out a text or chat asking which kind of option they prefer at which cost.

• It’s great fun to have matching “bride tribe” gear but maybe you don’t need the personalised matching pyjamas, hats and T-shirts.
• Try something simple that has the same effect, like gold tattoos.

• Actually there’s nothing you can do about people not turning up but there are ways can prevent them not paying up.
• Explain from the very start that you need to pre-pay everything and therefore you need everyone to pay well before the event date.
