I have been tasked to plan my sisters hen party for next year but I have never been to one and only know what I know from tv/film/ social media. I have some questions that I don’t want to ask anyone before I feel silly.

• Who pays for the bride? Do I just tell my sister the price or do I evenly split it between everyone attending?

• She has asked for a physical/ fun day event and then a meal and night out in the evening. But then she has also said she doesn’t mind if it is over night or not, this feels contradictory to me as surely if we do something physical in the day time people will need somewhere to get ready for the evening so a hotel for everyone is needed no?

• She’s not a girly girl and I guess you could says she’s on the butch side so what things could I do?

• What extras (i.e other than the day event, meal, night out, hotel and everyone getting to the places) should I be planning/ thinking about?

I just need to know typical hen party things so I make this good for her and not embarrass myself!
