Who’s behind Plan The Hen?
Plan The Hen is a hen party planning resource curated and written by Katy, just another 30-year-old who has been to her fair share of hen dos in the last few years.

Here’s how the idea for Plan The Hen came about:
“Like most of us, over the last few years I have attended some amazing hen weekends and they are always a fun occasion.
However, I don’t think there’s a twenty-something left in the country who hasn’t experienced that sinking feeling as they are added to the obligatory hen do Whatsapp group and are bombarded by 300 messages a day about yet another hen do that you are somehow going to have to finance in the near future.
The aim of Plan The Hen is to make sure that every hen do is money well spent on having the best time away with your girls.”
If you’ve organised a hen do, you will know what a difficult task it is!
The combination of finding a date, location and activities that your bestie will love but at the same time will suit the interests and budgets of a varied gaggle of their friends, some of whom you have never met, seems a near impossible task.
We’ve put together a bunch of handy guides to help you:
- Choose a location – UK or abroad – for your upcoming hen party.
- Find the perfect hen do house.
- Plan the most fun and memorable activities for your hen weekend.
- Source all the little extras to make it the BEST. WEEKEND. EVER.
Let’s get planning!
