Hosting a hen's party that your bride-to-be friend will love is sometimes a tall order! So where do you begin? The best way to ensure she gets the day she’s always wanted is to have an initial chat to find out what she’s envisaging.

• Once you’ve got the basic idea, don’t let her in on any more details, so the day or night is full of surprises! She’ll love it if you go to lots of effort to make her hen’s party really special.

• Here are some fun ideas for hen’s parties:

  • An afternoon of high tea - make it even more decadent by adding champers to your package.
  • A spa day at a fancy hotel - massages, relaxing in the spa, facials ... bliss!
  • A weekend getaway - rent a luxurious beach house.
  • A girly sleepover - get a mobile beautician to do manis and pedis, and watch a stack of romantic comedies.
  • A cooking class - head to a cooking school or have a chef come to your place (then eat your creations - yum!).
  • A fancy lunch or dinner - choose a location with atmosphere and a great view so you can settle in for a long session of eating, drinking and gossiping.
  • Bar hopping - start somewhere really posh where the cocktails are renowned.
• Then create a fab hen’s party e-invite here.
