We took a poll and our readers have suggested the details below. Of course, you know the bride better, so take what you can from this article and incorporate your own ideas. If it helps, get all the bridesmaids together for a mini spa day at your house. You can buy Clicks beauty products like Sorbet nail polish and the Black Opal brow shaper kit to have a really fun day of pampering. Incorporate some DIY face mask recipes in there to make it a more lively event. Put your heads together in the process and plan the best send off for your friend.
Venue
As people arrive at the party destination, you want them to be captivated by what they see. The best reaction you need: ‘this is so Jane’ - the venue must reflect the bride’s personality. Is she a quiet sensual spirit? Maybe a day of pampering at a fancy spa will do the magic since she missed out on your get together earlier. Is she a bright chatty sunflower? Perhaps consider a night out with cocktails and live entertainment. There’s also a high tea option if ‘Jane’ is sophisticated and elegant; this will definitely work out well.Food & Drinks
There’s nothing that will make your party drab other than ill-prepared food. You will never hear the end of that story, and unfortunately, the reference name will be our dear bride’s. ‘Jane’s hen party had cold, stale food’, or ‘Are you going to Jane’s wedding? Hope the food will not be like it was at the bridal shower’. It’s embarrassing. To avoid such talk, best to get a caterer with references. If you consider a venue that also offers food and drinks, please do go and sample their cuisine first before committing to it. We do want the best Joburg has to offer right!
