1. Plan, plan, plan and book everything (including the naked butler)

As far ahead as possible to allow for unexpected hiccups to be sorted out well in advance. (Make sure all suppliers have correct party address and contact details. Don’t give out security codes for rental properties until the last minute! Send directions as an attachment to guests and suppliers. It’s no fun if they can’t find the party!) Put balloons on the door it helps them find you!

2. No matter what your budget - Research costs for everything and get everyone  to chip in up front - the party will be far better and more affordable too.

Food – ensure that the catering exceeds expectations and makes the event an occasion to remember. (If catering yourself or from the local supermarket freezer consider fridge space availability for safe food storage.)

Drink – keep it simple and always have an excess of the right types of glasses. Remember to buy ready made bagged ice cubes from the supermarket – it’s only £1, but saves hours of time!

Venue – a flashy, expensive venue isn’t necessary for a good time, nice surroundings are often free - among your party friends there are 20-30 homes & gardens – some with pools, hot tubs, tennis courts, on the beach etc – just ask for volunteers and have the party at the nicest one!

Entertainment – you’ve already worked that one out! Now how hunky do you like your topless butlers? Ask for a photo of the guy you’re most likely to get. Any reputable company with nothing to hide will be happy to oblige! Don't forget to look up some hen night games on the net and get the butler to help you run them......there's loads of free games ideas on the web.

3. List the guests who are invited.

Get the invites out as early as possible. Use social media sites, texts etc – all much quicker than snail mail and you tend to get an instant response. Think about the guests likely preferences for a good night. How many are there, what age groups are they spanning, what are their tastes in music, foods, drinks, games/ entertainment? If they’re all 20 something then yes a pole dancing lesson would probably go down well. If they’re all in their 40s, they might prefer a pamper party, a group of 30’s might like a hot tub party. It’s more likely though that your group is probably mixed ages and you’ll need to gel the whole group. A butler and some games or a theme is ideal for this and doesn’t cost too much. If you need ideas for themes then look in our Saucy Butler Stories section.......there are loads of tried and tested real life themes from parties our guys have attended!

4. Order the buff butler to come 15 mins before the guests.

Have everything laid out in advance eg glasses, with drinks in groups, cocktail recipes for the cocktails you are having, (There are literally hundreds, no topless cocktail waiter can know them all!) ice in bucket, food on trays in fridge, games resources at the ready. If you want games – there are lots of really great fun hen night games ideas available on the net!

5. If it’s a surprise arrange to have our buff butler ring you on his approach.

So you can smuggle him in past the hen to change and emerge as a nice cheeky surprise for the hen. (Some of the absolutely best photos taken on the night are actually of the hens face as the hunky butler appears!) So take lots of photos to put on Facebook or the Butlers2go gallery so that the friends who would have loved to have made the party but couldn’t, can share some of the fun too!
