Don'ts:

• Do not plan for an event that is too close to the wedding day. The bride will need at least a week’s worth of recovery time to look her best on her wedding day.
• Avoid forcing the bride to participate in activities that she is uncomfortable with.

• Avoid including the bride to provide fund for the hen night. Costs can be kept low and be borne by her friends.
• Avoid attempting to visit more than three locations for the event. Someone may be left behind, especially when one is tipsy!
