How to decline a Hen Party invite

7 Gorgeous Cakes for an Intimate Wedding
Weddings as we know them have changed. Hopefully not forever, but we do need to adapt to the new rules and regulations around weddings wherever we are. Mostly, weddings are now WAY smaller and more intimate and usually involve just a few close friends and family. But it’s not a wedding without CAKE. So, I have collected some of my favourite small wedding cakes that show that less sometimes really is more.
Using ‘How to Hen’ to defeat bachelorette party planning stress
Planning a Hen (Bachelorette) Party is a stressful business. Sure, you can go to an agency to do it all for you, but that can get expensive and it also removes that element of love that comes with putting something awesome together for your best friend. I noticed that there wasn’t a platform that existed purely to help guide and inspire bridesmaids (and bridesmen) to plan a kick-ass Bachelorette weekend, without doing it for them. So that’s why I built www.howtohen.com.
Here are 3 ways it can help you and dramatically reduce your stress levels.
30+ White Hen Party outfits for every type of Bride
Honestly the whole idea and tradition around having
to wear white on your wedding day is an outdated and archaic symbol of the

However, most Hen weekend’s are made up of childhood friends, work friends and miscellaneous family members. There’s usually a range of ages and interests and the last thing you want is for anyone to feel like they don’t belong, so some bachelorette icebreakers are a great way to kick start the bonding.

While it seems like the world might be falling apart out there because of coronavirus concerns, it’s important to remember that in order to not lose your marbles entirely, you must control what you cannot accept and accept what you cannot control. Many people have been told to work from home or are self-isolating, which is, of course, the sensible thing to do.
