Hen Night Invitations on a Budget


You are the maid of honour and it is one of your duties to throw your friend a hen night party. You want to go all out, but you are stuck working from a budget. What can you do that will make this party memorable for her without spending more than you have to spend? There are many ways to throw a hen night party on a budget. Getting hen night invitations on a budget is going to be one of your first priorities since they need to go out in time for everyone to attend.

Ways to Cut Corners

Many hen night parties, not only have activities for everyone to take part in, but use different types of party props as well. Items from hats, to gloves, to lingerie wristbands to sashes have been used many times over. If you are using props that the guests will need to have, then you also have to include these with the invites so they know to wear them. One way around this is choose something that most women already have and include a request for the guests to bring it or wear it when they come.

If you are throwing a lingerie party, then have them all bring a special lingerie gift for the bride to take on her honeymoon. If you are using sashes with the bride’s name on them, you can also send a sample of the material to the friends and ask them to wear a sash or scarf of the same colour or material.

Opting for finger food or asking the guests to bring a covered dish to share will also help to cut back on some of the cost. If you are planning a night on the town, include a notice that explains everyone is expected to pay for their own drinks and buy at least one for the bride. You can also include a ticket that gives them the first drink on you, and if they want further indulgence, it will come from their pocketbook.

Many of these things may sound cheap to you, but they are commonly used in hen night celebrations all the time. Your friends understand that you are not made out of money

Now, How to Find Those Budget Hen Night Invitations

There are a few ways to get budget hen night invites. You can find them pre-printed at wedding stores and stationers. You fill in the blanks. These are great for budget hen nights, but you can make them better by adding some special touches.

If you are artistic, you can buy construction paper, pens, crayons, or paint and make your own hen night invites, but this will take some time, and depending on how many people are being invited, may cost more than you budgeted.

To find the best budget hen night invites, log onto the internet and start searching. Many sites specialise in making invitations just the way you want, and at prices, you can afford.

Your guests will love their budget hen night invitations just as much as if they were the most expensive ones around

DIY Hen Night Invitations


She is your best friend and this is going to be her last night as a single woman. You want everything to be perfect. You want her to have fond memories for years about the last night she spent with “the girls.” You have a lot of planning to do. You have to decide when and where to have it, what activities she will enjoy and what food to serve. You want all of her friends to be there and what better way to get them all to attend than sending out DIY hen night invitations.

The Party

This is her last night as single woman! What does she like? Is she a homebody or would she rather go out for dinner and few drinks with the girls? Would she enjoy an old-fashioned slumber party, a beauty make over, watching old movies and eating popcorn, or would she want to visit old haunts she used to go to with her friends?

It is all about her, so you want her to know how much you care. You also want her to know just happy you are for her. You want her to be cheered on by all those special friends that she has had around her for so many years. She is venturing into another area in her life and will not have as much time for her friends anymore, so make it something she will have fond memories of for years.

What Is Your Starting Point?

Therefore, you have already decided that DIY hen night invites will be the best choice. With these, she will have a personal keepsake to look back on for years and all the other guests will have something to remember the hen night. This is your choice, and you want to take your time to do it right.

You will need to choose a style, design, colour, or background from the DIY section of a great website. Make sure you choose one that allows you to place the text and wording so you have room to add those special touches you are collecting.

Hen night celebrations are fun, so do not make this a solemn card or affair. Choose bright, brilliant colours or use her favourite colours as your backdrop. Choose decorations that will indicate the flavour of the party. Lace-up corsets, high heel shoes, and champagne glasses have always been popular on hen night invites, but you want this to be unique and special.

Finishing Touches

See if you can find a photo of all of her friends together, or of something funny, that happened to her and her friends. Pasting this photo in the middle of that DIY card with just the right décor surrounding it will give everyone a mini portrait to remember her friendship with.

Add a personal note, a gem in the corner, or a poem or verse that will have special meaning, not only for the bride, but for you and the rest of her friends also. She will thank you, and the guests will love the DIY hen night invitations that you took the time to create.
