Plan the hens without 100 messages
Dates, budgets, bridesmaids, the bride’s mum and that one friend who never replies. Plynr keeps the whole hens in one place, from the first “when works?” to the photos afterwards.
Sound familiar?
Finding a date for 15 people
Everyone’s busy on different weekends, and the poll in the group chat got buried by message 40.
Chasing RSVPs and money
Half the group hasn’t replied, and nobody’s sure who’s paid for the accommodation.
Details scattered everywhere
The itinerary is in one chat, the dress code in another and the address in someone’s email.

Questions
How far in advance should you plan a hens party?
Most hens are planned five to six months ahead, especially for a weekend away. Lock in the date and guest list first, then book accommodation and activities once you know numbers.
Who usually organises the hens?
Usually the maid of honour or bridesmaids, with input from the bride on what she’d like. In Plynr you can share the planning and keep a private subgroup for the surprises.
How do you split costs for a hens party?
Work out a cost per person upfront and put it in the invite, so everyone knows before they RSVP. In Plynr the cost sits with the rest of the details, so nobody has to ask.
What should go in a hens invite?
The date and time, location, cost per person, itinerary, dress code (moodboard optional), and playlist, plus accommodation and transport details if it’s a weekend away. In an Event Plyn it all sits in one place, so guests have everything they need.
