Introduction

Being maid of honour often means being the unpaid debt collector. Everyone wants details until it is time to transfer.
Start with a per-person total in the budget calculator - house, activities and fees split fairly. Pick one deadline for house deposits, confirm headcount with activity suppliers, then track who paid in a spreadsheet, Splitwise or a Monzo pot. Deposits go to the owner and each supplier direct, not one package company.
1.How do you split hen weekend costs fairly among the group?
Work out the full weekend first, agree the bride's share, set one deposit deadline, then book the house and activities once everyone knows what they owe.
Work out the full weekend cost
Run the budget calculator with your group size, nights, city and activity picks. Share the per-person total in WhatsApp.
Agree the bride's share
Most UK groups cover the bride-to-be on core house and agreed activities. See planning advice for typical split rules.
Set one deposit deadline
Pick a fixed date for house deposits. Do not chase individuals forever. Late payers risk losing their spot.
Book the house
Lock your hen party house. Use the per-guest share shown on the listing to confirm amounts.
Book activities and collect supplier deposits
Confirm headcount with each provider on hen do activities before you pay activity deposits.
Track who paid
A shared spreadsheet, Splitwise or a Monzo pot works well. Hen Hideaways does not automatically chase guests for you today.
