How to Write Hens Night Invitations
A great hens night invitation sets the tone for the whole event. Before you write a single word, decide what vibe you're going for: elegant cocktail evening, wild themed night, or relaxed weekend away. Let that guide everything from the language to the dress code.
Always include the key details guests need to plan: date, start time, location (or a promise that details will follow), dress code, and a clear RSVP deadline. For weekend aways, mention estimated costs upfront so guests can decide before committing.
Keep your RSVP deadline at least two weeks before the event. This gives you time to confirm bookings, arrange transport, and chase anyone who hasn't replied. For weekend trips with accommodation deposits, set the deadline even earlier.
For surprise hens nights, never include the venue address in the initial invite. Send it privately to confirmed guests only, and remind everyone not to post on social media. A brief "cover story" to explain why Taylor is getting dressed up helps too.
Australian English uses "hens night" not "bachelorette party". Use "mum" not "mom", "organise" not "organize", and write dates as day month year (15 March 2026, not March 15th, 2026).
