When your wedding is only a few weeks away, it can be difficult for you and your bridesmaids to remain cool, calm and relaxed. The closer you get to the big day, the more stress you’ll all be under. While there’s certainly no magic cure for dealing with pre-wedding jitters, planning a spa day for your hen do will work wonders for the whole bridal party.

Here, Linda from Lovemyvouchers.co.uk gives seven reasons to make your hen party a spa break!

1. Beauty – not the beast

When you are considering planning a hen do, you may automatically think of having a wild party, but the after-effects are generally not worth the trouble. These include bloating, bad skin, breakouts, poor quality hair and nails; and a bad hangover diet which will have a negative effect on the feelgood factor – and this time should all be about feeling fab. By all means have a riot of a hen do well in advance of the big day, but as it approaches, a spa break is by far the better choice. Not only will it leave you feeling refreshed and healthy, but it will also help you to look positively glowing on your big day.

2. Quality time with the people who mean the most

If you just want your nearest and dearest around you rather than your entire list of Facebook friends, then a spa hen party is the perfect way to enjoy a girl’s night out before you tie the knot. Indulge in a soothing massage followed by a dip in a hot tub. Then spend the day chatting and reminiscing over a bottle of Prosecco; you are sure to return from the experience relaxed and happy.

3. All-inclusive fine dining

At many spas, you can pamper the bridal party with a luxurious one night bed and breakfast experience that offers champagne and a three-course dinner along with spa treatments. This can save a lot on the planning and the costs of your hen do, leaving you free to concentrate on more important things – like the big day itself.

4. Simple options for busy hens and brides-to-be

An afternoon tea and spa package is the perfect solution for those with children or other responsibilities that make it difficult to get away for a full night or weekend. Treat yourselves to a hot stone massage and a stress-reducing mud bath before enjoying tea, cakes, and sandwiches.

5. Budget-friendly selections

Some bridesmaids stress out about having to spend a lot of money on the hen do. Depending on how wild your party is, there can easily be hundreds of pounds spent and not everyone can afford that. Thankfully, spa packages have options for just about any budget. With some spa days starting out as low as £35 per person, your bridesmaids won’t have to worry about breaking the bank.

6. You can still party if you want to!

A spa hen do can be as tranquil or exciting as you want it to be. If you’re not completely sold on the idea of a fully relaxing spa experience, you can have the best of both worlds with tribute and party packages!  Consider a night at a spa that books a DJ to play music from your favourite decade, or maybe one that offers a fun cocktail-making class. Many spas are also conveniently located near bars and restaurants so you can treat yourselves to a massage, facial, or mani-pedi before (or after) a night out on the town.

7. Girl time bonding

Of course, the most important part of any hen party is to have fun and reminisce over all the good times you’ve had together. While you’ll certainly have many great days ahead of you, life can get busy. Use this time to unwind and have fun before your big day, and you’ll all have yet another great memory to look back upon.
