This week’s query comes in from Rose, some of the bride’s friends have never met

“Hi Claire, I’m the maid of honour for my bestie Rachel. I’m organising a big hen, about 30 of us, (as per request from the bride) and loads of the girls don’t know each other. Her home and college friends have met a few times but none of us really know her work pals or her future sisters in law. I need to make sure that everything runs smoothly and all the girls mingle, how?!”

Claire’s Advice;
Hi Rose, this is very very common among hen parties, so absolutely no need to stress. Most of the time on a hen everyone won’t know each other and that’s perfectly fine. The hen party gives all the most important ladies in the bride’s life a chance to mix before the wedding day.

Choosing the right activity is the key to getting all the girls chatting. Sculpt a Willy or Paint a Nude are always great to bring the girls out of their comfort zone.

I would always suggest a few hen party games to get everyone talking as well. They don’t have to be drinking games but ones, where everyone gets involved, are perfect eg Mr & Mrs, Henparty Mad Libs, Pass the Parcel! Have a look here for all our ideas https://www.henparty.ie/Games.a...

Finally, make sure all the girls make the effort to mix with people they don’t know, the bride will be delighted that all her friends are getting on so well!
