1. Hen Party planning support

Planning a hen party with The Foxy Hen is as easy as:

  1. Choose item(s) โ€“ it can be just an activity or a whole package.
  2. Submit your booking request through the website, with no upfront deposit and no commitment.
  3. Weโ€™ll check availability and let you know asap.
  4. Pay for your spot on the trip to secure the booking and invite the girls to make their own payments online.

Check out our more detailed explanation of how the booking process and booking management works.

2. Pre-booking questions

Transparent pricing:

Our policy is to make the hen party as affordable as possible for everybody involved. Companies that offer the โ€œhen goes freeโ€ typically hide the cost by overcharging the other group members. To give you complete transparency, we show the price per person upfront and donโ€™t hide costs to your group. Instead, weโ€™ve created a handy tool to help your group cover the cost of the bride.

How to pay for the bride:

There is nothing about the hen party that should be stressful for the bride-to-beโ€ฆand itโ€™s really common that the group members cover her cost. But this doesnโ€™t mean you need to take the burden of that cost on your own!

We created the Pay For The Hen item, which can be added to your booking so each group member can chip in a small amount to the her cost.

How to add it to your booking:

  1. Go to your chosen destination page and choose your package or the items you want.
  2. Scroll to the bottom of the items to the โ€˜Extrasโ€™ section.
  3. Add the Pay For The Hen item to your basket. And youโ€™re done!

If you have already submitted your booking but would like to add this item, simply contact your Hen Party Specialist!

How it works:

By default, each group member is asked to pay โ‚ฌ10 to the cost of the bride. This amount can be increased if needed. If too much is paid towards the brideโ€™s cost, well refund the extra to the organiser (which could go towards drinks, transport, kitty etc). If too little is paid, well ask the organiser to pay the shortfall.

Note: There is a โ‚ฌ1 / ยฃ1 per person admin fee for using this option.

An example of the math would be: Package costs โ‚ฌ90/pp + โ‚ฌ10/pp to contribute to the hen, so each girl pays โ‚ฌ100. Once 10 girls have paid and the โ‚ฌ1/pp admin fee processed, the henโ€™s โ‚ฌ90 package will be covered.

No. we completely understand that finalising your hen party group size can take some time.

All youโ€™ll need is your estimated group size when you submit your booking request. Itโ€™s fine if your numbers go up or down a bit โ€“ the price per person wonโ€™t change.

Note: Some items do have a minimum number requirement, so just keep an eye on this.

If there is an activity you would like that we have not got listed yet, simply drop us a quick line on our live chat or through our contact form, and we will be happy to look into it for you.

Yes, you can select as few or as many things as you like.

For example, you could simply book bike hire for 10 people at โ‚ฌ12 per person, if that is all you were looking for.

Weโ€™re here to make your hen party planning easy, so no package is too big or too small.

On each destination page, youโ€™ll see an option for an Activity Only booking โ€“ just select this and choose what youโ€™d like!

Yes, you are very welcome to book only your accommodation through us.

We understand that all hen parties are different and weโ€™re happy to help with whatever your group needs.

To get an estimated price per person for any item or combination of items, simply add them to your basket and check the total amount.

The price will calculate as you add or remove items from your basket so you can find the perfect fit for your budget.

Note: The accommodation price can vary at times but it will give you a very good estimation.

Absolutely!

After youโ€™ve submitted your booking request through the website (which is free!), just let your Booking Manager know youโ€™d like to keep some or all of the items secret and theyโ€™ll organise that for you.

Transport is not included in your booking.

In a small number of cases, transport to and/or from activities may be included if it is specifically mentioned in the item on our website and in your itinerary.

We can supply you with contact details for our recommended transport suppliers in any of our destinations if you like. Please chat with us online or contact us for further details.

We always recommend each member of your group take out appropriate travel insurance for your trip. Discuss your trip plans with the your chosen insurance company to make sure you are covered for any activities as well.

3. Submitting your hen do booking request

Simply submit your booking request through the website to check availability for your dates. Itโ€™s free to submit and thereโ€™s no commitment to proceed โ€“ itโ€™s just an initial enquiry so we can check everything.

Once we have your request in our system, weโ€™ll contact your suppliers and let you know asap so you can decide if youโ€™d like to proceed.

Yes. We have a secure payments platform and terms and conditions that are designed to protect you and your payments.

So, we can only process your booking once you have submitted a request through the website.

It is completely free to submit your booking request through the website!

We donโ€™t require a deposit at the time of booking to help give you the flexibility to find the right hen party for you. 

Once weโ€™ve confirmed availability with your suppliers, we will ask the group organiser to pay for their spot on the trip 5 days after the booking has been confirmed or 6 weeks before the booking is due to take place, whichever is earlier. This will act as the non-refundable deposit to secure the booking.

If you have made a booking less than 6 weeks before the commencement date, the non-refundable deposit (the organiserโ€™s payment for their spot) is required within 24 hours of the booking request availability being confirmed.

4. After you've submitted your booking

Firstly, thanks for planning your hen party with us!

Now that youโ€™ve submitted your booking request, we just need you to confirm that youโ€™d like to go ahead and check availability. You can do this 2 ways:

  • Click the login button in your confirmation email, log in to your account and click the โ€˜Confirmโ€™ button on your VIP Booking Page
  • Go to the website, log in to your account and click the โ€˜Confirmโ€™ button on your VIP booking page

Once you have confirmed, weโ€™ll contact your suppliers to check availability and weโ€™ll be in touch with you asap by email to let you know.

If you have any questions in the meantime, please contact your Booking Manager via your booking page, chat with us online or contact us.

If you need to request special conditions or requirements for a member of your group, please contact your Booking Manager, chat with us online or contact us as soon as you can so we can work to best accommodate their needs.

Examples of special needs might be:

  • Dietary requirements like veganism, vegetarianism, gluten intolerance, lactose intolerance or another food allergy
  • Wheelchair accessibility
  • Elderly group members
  • Underage group members

5. Inviting your group

To invite your hen party group members:

  1. Log into your booking page
  2. Click the โ€˜Inviteโ€™ button near the top or just scroll to the bottom of the page
  3. Copy the unique invite link for your booking and share it via WhatsApp, Facebook, email or wherever you like
  4. Or you can add each person into the booking using their name and email address and theyโ€™ll receive an email invitation

Contact us if youโ€™d like any help with this step!

If somebody does not have an email address, there are a few options:

  • The group organiser can add the person into the booking using a spare email address of their own and then pay for them online
  • The person without an email address can call and make a payment for themselves over the phone
  • Another member of the group can call and make a payment for that person over the phone

To call and make a phone payment:

Note: Phone payments are subject to a โ‚ฌ2/ยฃ2 administration charge.

6. Booking changes & cancellations

Booking amendment fees

After the deposit has been paid to secure the booking, if youโ€™d like to make changes (change item times, swap items etc), the group organiser will need to request this with their Booking Manager by email.

If changes are possible, a Booking Amendment Fee will be added to the booking, which will need to be paid for within 3 days or before the trip date, whichever is sooner

The fee amount will depend on when the change is requested:

IRE & EU Destinations: โ‚ฌ30
UK Destinations: ยฃ25

Amendments types include:

  • Change to date
  • Change to timings
  • Change of activity (if possible)

IRE & EU Destinations: โ‚ฌ50
UK Destinations: ยฃ45

Amendment types include:

  • Change to date
  • Change to timings
  • Change of activity (if possible)
  • Additional new item (group payment only)

Note: All amendments are subject to availability and cannot be guaranteed
Note: Group members who join after the payment deadline may be subject to separate late payment fees
Note: If you swap one item in your booking for another, there may be additional amounts that need to be paid for if the new item is a higher price per person.

Booking amendment questions

Group members can join the booking any time before the payment deadline. If members try to pay after the deadline, we wonโ€™t be able to guarantee that your chosen suppliers will still have availability for them.

Late joiners may need to pay a late payment fee and we will need to check availability for them and weโ€™ll let them know.

Yes! We completely understand that plans can change, so we will do our best to add anything you want into your hen party package at any time. The sooner you let us know what you want to do, the better chance there will be of getting availability.

It is free to request to add an item to your booking if it is more than 4 weeks away from your start date. Requesting to add an item to your booking within 4 weeks of your start date will incur a โ‚ฌ50 / ยฃ45 amendment fee.

Note: Just bear in mind that if everyone is paid up and then you add something, people will have to log back in and pay.

If you would like to change your hen party booking date, please contact your Booking Manager by email asap. We are happy to accommodate this, subject to your chosen suppliersโ€™ availability.

If your booking deposit has been paid, then the following amendment fees will apply if the change is successful:

  • Before the booking deposit has been paid: Free
  • After the booking deposit has been paid and more than 4 weeks from booking start date: โ‚ฌ30 / ยฃ25
  • Less than 4 weeks from booking start date: โ‚ฌ50 / ยฃ45

If you would like to change your hen party location, you will need to cancel your existing booking in our system, go to your new destination page and submit a new booking request through the website.

Please note that, if you have paid the booking deposit or any group members have made payments on the previous booking, the booking deposit will be lost and normal cancellation terms will apply to other group membersโ€™ payments.

If you need to cancel your spot on the trip or you need to cancel the whole hen party, please contact your Booking Manager asap via the booking page to let them know. Or you can chat with us online or contact us.
