How to Make the Invitation Sound Like You

You do not need to use every word exactly as written. Keep the practical information, then change the opening and closing so the message sounds natural coming from you.

If the bride is relaxed, write it that way. If the plan is more formal, use the dinner or spa wording as your starting point. A good invitation should sound like the celebration you are actually arranging.

Wording mistakes worth avoiding

Hiding the estimated cost until people have already agreed
Leaving out the RSVP deadline
Making the theme clear but forgetting the location
Calling an activity optional when it is included in everyone’s price
Sending several versions with different information

Once people have replied, use one final itinerary with the confirmed times and addresses. Our hen party itinerary guide includes three plans you can copy.

If you are still working out the costs, start with our hen party budget guide. For the full planning order, use the step-by-step hen party planning guide.

Hen Party Invitation Questions

When should hen party invitations be sent?

Send the first message as soon as the date and likely cost are clear. A few months’ notice is sensible for a weekend away. Give guests longer when flights, annual leave or expensive accommodation are involved.

Should the price be included in the invitation?

Yes. If the final total is not ready, include a realistic estimate and explain what it is expected to cover. Guests need the cost before they can give you a genuine answer.

Who normally sends the hen party invitation?

The maid of honour, chief bridesmaid or main organiser usually sends it. The bride can send her own invitation if she is involved in planning the celebration.

Can a hen party invitation be sent by text?

Absolutely. A text or WhatsApp message is fine, especially when the details may change. An editable invitation is useful when you want something more polished to send alongside the message.

What if all the details are not confirmed yet?

Send a save-the-date with the location, likely format and estimated cost. Make it clear that the details are provisional. Do not collect non-refundable payments until the important bookings are confirmed.
