As one of the greatest rituals engaged couples enjoy before their wedding, bucks and hens nights are always exciting. Today, it isn't unusual to extend the evening's enjoyment with pre and post-party rituals. Although many people choose to make the most of the time they spend getting ready, not everyone maximises the moments that cover their journey. If you want your hens or bucks party to start off with high-end thrills, consider creating the ultimate party bus experience.
Execute your duties the right way with a theme
When you're the one organising a bucks or hens party, you're carrying a big responsibility. To make the most of your party bus, build the right foundations with a theme. Your theme is important for a couple of reasons. First, having a creative platform makes it easier to bring a sense of organisation to the process. Second, it's the only way to wow the bride or groom with all the thought you're putting into their soirée. To create your theme, contact anyone else who's attending and let them know you need an idea they'll all feel comfortable with. Once you know what it is, make a list of decorations and contact a bucks or hens party bus hire company to check if they're appropriate.
Take your onboard delights to the next level
Now you know what your theme is, it's time to start planning your food and drink. Where there's a party bus, there's usually alcohol. And, where there's alcohol, it's probably a good idea to have snacks in place. Finding drinks to match your theme is easy. Create a list of two or three cocktails that are relevant, ensure you can prepare pitchers of them and include generic drinks most people enjoy as a backup. Matching the food to the theme is also a lot of fun. If the theme is the 80s, for example, break out the bread and dip. As a side note, don't forget to include chilled water.
Make a list of must-visit venues and cull them
When you're planning your friend's big event it's tempting to include every pub, club, and restaurant that seems enticing. If you're the organiser, create a big list and then take it to a vote to cull it. To save rushing, aim to spend 30 to 45 minutes in four to five venues, then choose one that comes with a VIP experience and make it your final stop for the night. After leaving, you can continue the party on the way home.
Always remember, gathering opinions on what your friend will love is a great way to make your event a success. To avoid missing out on a bus that catches your eye, book it as soon as there's a date in place
