Hen Party Stationary
Hen party stationary is often a forgotten about aspect of the planning process- but without the stationary you have no invitations therefore no guests! Stationary can be done DIY and sourced yourself, however it is just one more thing to think about and organise before the big day, therefore some choose to delegate this aspect out to people who know best and are professionals in this field. They will then ensure that everything they produce for you has the exact same font and detailing although can cost more than sourcing it yourself- everyone hopes that one of their friends will turn into a graphic designer so all this can be done for a small charge or even count as a wedding gift! Fingers crossed ladies...
Stationary needs to match and link with colour schemes, styles and the atmosphere of the day. Choosing the text is the biggest part, this font will then be on everything associated with the big day including the invitations, thank you notes, place names and favours...
Depending on the theme of the hen party you can then choose the invitation. Whether it be bohemian, glamour or blackpool there are downloadable and ready printed invitations available- Etsy is a fabulous place to find cute and original designs. Or get inspired by these and create something yourself- get them printed at a printers and have the ultimate personalised experience and all the control - if you are a bit of a control freak you'll appreciate this option.
A great way of tying all the hen party activities and favours together is to keep the style consistent and matching. The smallest details don't go unnoticed and make the biggest difference in the long run. A an idea for favour or a little gift upon arrival would be sleep eye masks - these could have the wedding party name on it, eg bridesmaid, maid of honour, or simply their names- a lovely touch an keepsake after the event. Along with this you could choose to have tote bags made up - possibly with hidden messages inside like the one above, these are great if you are planning on heading abroad for your hen party as they are perfect though the airport for all the last minute essentials or as a cute beach bag whilst away with the girls.
Similarly to the eye masks, candles are a gorgeous gift- maintaining the matching style makes it professional and personal. Added touches can be made to decorations such as straw flags and stickers to go on favours, napkins, and are handy on the day of step up for whenever you need a bit of sticky tape. Signs or any other graphics could match and then also link to the wedding. By making the wedding stationary match with the stag and hen do it is very visually pleasing if you're that kind of person... otherwise the font can be reviewed for the wedding but again ensure that this is kept consistent for the event similarly to the hen do!
