It is essential to give consideration on how to approach hen party guest lists to ensure party success due to the fact that these lists can often result in awkward or terribly sticky situations when it comes to the actual hen party.
Who,
It is imperative to get a list of names of party guests from the bride-to-be as soon as you are elected party planner. The entire party will be planned around this list due to the fact that consideration needs to be given to the number of guests, their ages, etc. The list must be divided into sub-categories to include the following:
Sure-Fire’s
The sure-fire guests will be the individuals who the bride wants at the party no matter what. Remember to add yourself to this list and others who will most probably need no persuasion to attend the bash. Now is the time to check available as well as unavailable dates.
Maybes
The maybe list will include individuals whom the bride has not seen or been in contact with for a while or she is just plain not sure if they are likely to come. Maybes can even be sub-categorised to include “unreliables.” These will be those people who the bride regards as generally unreliable people who make promises and never keep them but who you may see as “problem children.”
Must includes
Yes, there will be person’s whom you must include in the party. These are normally the new in-laws—those lovely individuals the bride secretly prays will not come so that she can fully enjoy herself without being on her super best behaviour but that she will still look a suitable new in-law for having offered an invite to the party in the first place.
Steer clear’s
The bride will, without a doubt, have a couple of names who have gone from the sure-fire’s, maybes, or must includes to plain steer clear’s as a result of jealousy, violence, betrayal or wrong-doing. It is recommended that you be diplomatic in your approach by suggesting a date or venue that will make it impossible for this person or these persons to attend, thereby making it seem as though they have been invited when, in fact, they were never even accounted for as part of the guest list.
