The goal is to create a memorable experience for the bride-to-be while being mindful of everyone's finances.
How do you make a hen party special?

What's the difference between a bridal shower and a hen party?
A bridal shower is a celebration held during the day to honour the bride-to-be, usually hosted by close family members or friends. The focus is on celebrating the bride and giving her gifts for her new home.
