Planning a wedding is one of the most exciting — and overwhelming — things you'll ever do. Add a hen do and stag do into the mix, and suddenly there are a hundred moving parts to keep track of. The good news? With the right checklists in hand, you can stay on top of every detail and actually enjoy the process.
Why a Checklist is Your Best Friend
Whether you're the bride, groom, maid of honour, or best man, a solid checklist keeps everyone aligned. It means nothing slips through the cracks — from booking the venue to confirming the guest list, sorting the decorations, and remembering the all-important prosecco.
Hen Do Planning: What to Think About
The hen do is the bride's last big hurrah before the big day, so it deserves proper planning. Key things to nail down early include:
- Date and location — local, UK city break, or abroad?
- Guest list and budget per person
- Activities and itinerary
- Accommodation and transport
- Personalised touches like sashes, games, and matching outfits
Stag Do Planning: Keeping It Simple (But Memorable)
Stag dos have a reputation for chaos, but the best ones are well-organised. Think about:
- What the groom actually wants — not just what's expected
- A realistic budget everyone can commit to
- Activities that suit the whole group
- A clear itinerary so no one gets lost (literally or figuratively)
Wedding Day Checklist: The Big One
The wedding day itself requires military-level organisation. A comprehensive checklist covers everything from the morning getting-ready routine to the final send-off — so you can be present in the moment rather than mentally running through a to-do list.
