Do we have to have a traditional hen or stag do?

Absolutely not. Modern couples are choosing everything from spa weekends to adventure activities and group holidays. Some combine celebrations into a shared pre-wedding event. The only rule is that it feels right for you.

Who organises the hen or stag do?

Traditionally the maid of honour or best man organises it, but this varies. If you have strong ideas about what you want — or don't want — share those clearly. A gentle wishlist goes a long way.

How far in advance should we plan a hen or stag do?

For a local celebration, 2 to 3 months is usually enough. For a destination hen or stag, start 4 to 6 months in advance. Getting a date agreed early is the most important step.

How do we make a pre-wedding celebration inclusive for everyone?

Think about the range of people in your group — ages, budgets, physical abilities, and comfort levels. Choose activities that don't exclude anyone and give guests as much notice as possible.

What are some alternatives to a traditional hen party?

Pottery workshops, wine tasting, spa days, wild swimming, hiking weekends, cooking classes, yoga retreats, theatre trips, escape rooms, and private dining are all popular alternatives. Think about what the person being celebrated actually enjoys.
