Here’s our rundown on why we recommend booking your 2026 Hen Do Now:
The longer you wait to book, the more expensive the hen do weekend can come to be. The unfortunate truth is that prices for accommodation, activities, and travel rarely go down, and with the demand for top destinations, activities and packages rising, prices are only heading in one direction: Up. Booking your hen do now for 2026 will lock in today's prices, avoiding the inevitable price hikes. Plus, the money you end up saving by booking earlier can be put towards a drinks kitty. Using Girl Math, you’re losing money by not booking the hen weekend earlier.
With our incredible online portal, all you’re required to pay (up until 8 weeks before your weekend) is your deposit. You can book your weekend now and then pay as and when you can or want until your payment deadline, and you only need to worry about yourself. As the portal enables you all to pay separately. If you decide you want to spread the cost, then the earlier you book it, the smaller your monthly payments will be. So, by the time you go it’s actually a free weekend, we love girl maths.
