AUTHOR: KELLY OF 'LITTLE MISS PARTY PLANNER'
Your best friend, sister or family member is getting married, how exciting! Now the fun part starts, planning her last night out with the ladies before she makes it official. But where to start? What to do? How to plan it? First you will need to sit down with the other bridesmaids and brainstorm. Really dig deep on your hen’s hobbies and the things she loves (extra bridesmaid brownie points if you plan a party doing something she ADORES). And if a boho picnic with friends happens to be that special ‘something’, follow the steps below. THIS ARTICLE MAY CONTAIN COMPENSATED LINKS. PLEASE READ OUR DISCLAIMER FOR MORE INFO.

STEP 1: THE DATE
Find a date in the calendar close to the wedding but not too close. Make sure your hen and her family are available.
STEP 2: THE LOCATION
Find a suitable location to picnic. This can be a house, hotel room, park, beach or garden. Make sure you have parking options, toilets close by and chairs for the elderly if Nan is coming.
Handy hint: Check with the local council that picnics are ok; the last thing you need is a ranger telling you to move on! 
STEP 3: BACK UP PLAN
Find a wet weather option as a back up JUST IN CASE. A house or private venue that can be hired is perfect for this.
STEP 4: THE INVITATIONS
Plan the invites. We love online invitations - Etsy for printable/emailable downloads or Paperless Post are our go-to options.
Must haves on the invites include date, time, location, price, RSVP date, and your contact number/email address. If you’re having a theme (such as boho) or want your guests to dress in a particular way (e.g. all in white) make sure you include this information as well. Handy hint: Book an after party. Have a venue in mind, a dinner reservation or a house with drinks waiting for the hens who want to continue. 
STEP 5: FOOD & DRINKS
Plan the food and drink. Antipasto platters are our go-to food suggestions. They look the part, they fill hungry bellies and they are very social - no need for plates and cutlery. Getting a cake or a plate of sweets is also a must if the bride-to-be likes sweet stuff.
For drinks, we recommend bubbles or a punch, plus a few non alcoholic options. Any drinks that are easy to make onsite and can be offered via jugs or a drink dispenser are great. Boho cups or mason jars with reusable straws are also a must to compliment the overall theme. 
STEP 6: THE SET UP
First, decide if you’re matching the bride-to-be wedding theme, or creating your own unique style with a set colour scheme. Use Pinterest for Bohspiration here. Once you have your inspiration, it’s time to organize the items to bring it all together. To set up your gorgeous boho picnic you will need:
STEP 7: GET EXCITED
The day has arrived and the bride-to-be can’t wait. Tell her where to go, what to wear and to get excited!
STEP 8: BOHO PICNIC TIME
Picnic time! Have fun, plan some games and make sure the bride-to-be gets waited on hand and foot all day.
STEP 9: PACK UP
Once the picnic is finished, make sure someone’s car is close by to start the pack down. Don’t forget your bin bags to dispose of all the rubbish/bottles!
