On episode 13 of The One Fab Day Wedding Podcast, we're donning our fake veils and #bridesquad badges (quite literally!) and distilling all of our hen party planning knowledge into one indispensable guide! It goes without saying that you want to throw your beloved bride-to-be the most amazing hen do or bachelorette party, but this task is not as easy as it seems! Between budgeting, logistics and the dreaded drama in the WhatsApp group, there are lots of tricky factors at play, so in this episode, we wanted to answer some of the biggest questions around hen party planning, namely, "Who gets invited?", "Who pays for what?" and "How many willy straws is too many willy straws?". Plus, we solve a very common guest-list dilemma!

Episode Breakdown: Episode 13 - How to Throw an Unforgettable Hen Party

Wedding tip: This week, we're asking you to take a moment to consider the needs of any guests who are elderly or pregnant, or have specific access or dietary requirements, and make a plan for looking after them!

Main topic: Planning a hen party or bachelorette party? You've come to the right place, because in this episode of The One Fab Day Wedding Podcast, we're delivering Hen Party 101! We're breaking down the dos and don'ts of hen parties, and offering up some of our favourite ideas, from glamping to karaoke, beach parties to wine tastings, and yoga retreats to music festivals.

Wedding dilemma: A listener writes, “I emailed my friend from college for her address for the wedding invitations, she sent it on and said she was excited to come to the wedding with her partner and six-year-old daughter. Any advice on how to say it's invite-only and kids don't count? We can’t really say it’s a kids-free wedding because there are a couple of flower girls in the wedding party.” Our advice this week includes blaming the venue (a life-changing tip, honestly), and having a one-on-one chat with the guest in question.

Something to do when you're not planning your wedding: In this episode, Celina indulges her lethargic side by recommending a self-enforced couch day!
