Plan a great hen or stag party — budget, bookings, food, and surprises.

  Agree what the money covers: activities, food, transport, outfits.

• Choose party date and alternate date

  Pick a primary date and a backup to ease bookings.

  Select 1–2 main experiences to guide bookings and timing.

  Pre-order group menus where possible to save time on the day.
