Planning a hen party is like planning any other trip. You need to start by planning the fundamentals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is very straight forward\u2026 in fact, if you\u2019re reading this article you\u2019ve most likely done this step already. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you haven\u2019t already done so, decide when your Hen\ndo will be and what the duration of the trip will be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dublin is a touristic city, which means there is a lot of things to do and a lot of fun to be had. However, it also means that some dates are busier (and more expensive) than others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a rule of thumb, if you\u2019re hoping for \u2018good weather<\/em>\u2019 (don\u2019t we\nall), May, June and September tend to be less busy than July and August. You\ncan find some practical information on irishtourism.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Pro-tip<\/strong>: Use Kayak to check for optimal travel times. On their Dublin page<\/a>, they list information about flights, hotels and activities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You need to decide at what point the Bride should be\nmade aware of the final destination. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re from Dublin, you can skip this section. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you live outside of Ireland and you\u2019re flying in,\nyou\u2019ll need to book a ticket. Maybe her future partner can help you there. In\nwhich case you can inform here when she gets to the airport. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you live in Ireland, and you\u2019re travelling up to\nDublin for the occasion, it\u2019s a lot easier although she\u2019ll probably guess soon\nenough. As a side note, if you\u2019re driving, make sure you plan where you\u2019re\ngoing to park. In the city centre, it can be expensive! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Remember if you keep it a secret until the very last\nsecond, someone will have to pack for them\u2026. This can cause some problems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Establish how much\neveryone is willing to spend on the trip. You also need to take into account\nthe travel expenses of the bride which are most often divided among the members\nof the group. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The amount will\ndepend a lot on the time of year, your travelling costs and the duration of the\ntrip. But to make an estimate take into account the following things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pro-tip<\/strong>: Use an app to do all the bill splitting work for you. Just make sure you start using it from the get-go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dublin can be an expensive place to stay. There are numerous different options at different price points. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ll also need to decide whether you all want to\nstay in the same place or not. It\u2019s usually more fun but if you\u2019re a big group\nit can be trickier. There is no right or wrong answer. It all depends on your\nbudget and what you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Decide whether you want to book a hotel room or a\nb&b for the occasion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s the same as everywhere; rooms in the city centre\nare more expensive than ones that are further away. If you choose the latter,\ntake into account that fact that you\u2019ll need to travel into the city centre\nduring the day and get back cab in the evening\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re on a budget (and if you\u2019re feeling adventurous), consider booking a hostel. Ideally, you would want to book a room all for yourselves. This isn\u2019t always possible, but it\u2019s worth checking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Glamping (\u2018Glamours Camping\u2019) has grown in popularity\nin recent years. You get to sleep in Yurt or a wooden hut which can be a fun\nactivity to do for a Hen Party. <\/p>\n\n\n\n However, you most likely won\u2019t find anything within\nthe Dublin itself. Again if you don\u2019t mind commuting a bit, it\u2019s an option to\nconsider. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You can go the extra mile by theming the bride party. You can find some inspiration in our list of adult party themes<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Costumes have become a staple of bride and bachelor parties. The sillier the better.
