Remember to run every hen across the list before you go out, just so everyone’s comfortable with what they may have to do during the course of the night, should their turn come up.

What better way to preserve those memories than in a specially made hens’ night memento book? The bride will definitely appreciate the thought, and it’s something that she’ll still look fondly back on twenty years from now.
A hens’ night is a great excuse to let loose and celebrate the bride-to-be’s final moments as a legally single lady. Having the right props and preparation will ensure the night is a success.
