Christmas weddings are becoming increasingly popular and according to a recent poll by a wedding magazine, December the 25th is now the fifth most requested date to get married in the UK.

With the magic of the vows, dress and coming together of two people in love comes another tradition that is proving to be as popular as the wedding itself. It is estimated that we spend as much as £430 million per year on hen and stag parties, with party goers spending around £500 each on giving their friends a stylish send off to married life. A third of stag and hen parties now travel abroad for the party, meaning that it could be a very expensive Christmas ahead for those with friends tying the knot during the festive period.

However if you’re going to a hen party or are responsible for organising one, never fear, as there are plenty of low budget and high style ways to treat the bride-to-be without breaking the bank.

For the bride who is fixated about fashion why not book her and her closest hens an appointment with a style advisor? Many department stores and retailers offer this service for free and with no obligation to buy. What better way to spend an afternoon than trying on this season’s outfits or helping the bride to select a capsule wardrobe for her honeymoon? Topshop, for example, offers a style advisory service free of charge in some of its larger stores throughout the UK. The service includes a consultation with the advisor, who will help you to select the best looks for you from the hottest styles on the shop floor.

Alternatively if your best friend-come-bride is a beauty fanatic then why not indulge in some pampering and treat her to a selection of fabulous skincare delights? There’s no better way to celebrate an up-and-coming wedding that an ultimate girls night in with face packs and cocktails, trying out make up looks and getting ready to look radiant for the big day! Treatments such as No7 Protect and Perfect beauty serum can provide both yours and the bride-to-be’s needs for glowing skin on the big day. Containing a unique antioxidant complex that helps protect against damaging free radicals, alongside concentrated levels of intense skin-firming pro-retinol complex to boost and maintain the skin’s elasticity, this would be the perfect beauty gift for the bride and her bridesmaids to use on the wedding day too.

With the big day and honeymoon on the horizon, a girls’ get together is the perfect way to banish the ‘pale and interesting’ look that winter brings. Give your bride the gift of a golden tan with the ultimate sun-worshipper’s beauty gift - St Tropez’s The Ultimate Golden Body, containing a bronzer and tan intensifier to ensure the bride glows long into her married life.

With the average wedding costing around £19,500, indulging your best girlfriends to some well thought-out and purse-friendly treats will ensure that you have a hen party to remember, rather than a credit card bill you’d rather forget!
