Find the overlap
See which weekend works for the most people, then lock it once the organiser is happy.
No availability bingoHow Brood works
A beautiful weekend, without the admin fog.
Get everyone in, find the overlap, make the money clear and give the group one plan they can actually follow.
1 · Start
Create the hen with what you know.
Bride, rough dates, group size, destination if known, and a comfortable budget. Nothing else needs to be final yet.
👯
Invite without friction
Share one link. Guests can join, RSVP and answer the important stuff before they ever need a full account.
🔐
Collect honest answers
Budget comfort stays private. Availability is easy. Anonymous voting can be switched on when group politics need it.
From chaos to confirmed
Three decisions that get the weekend moving.
02Group choices
Vote, then lock
Collect everyone’s opinion, spot the strongest option and turn the vote into a final answer.
A decision, finally03Money
Build the real total
Add accommodation, food and activities as they become real. Brood keeps the per-person cost current.
No surprise totalsReal life happensPlans change.
Plans change.
Brood keeps up.
A guest drops out, someone joins late or the booking price changes. These aren’t edge cases—they’re hen planning.
Someone joins late
Their share is calculated from the plan they’re actually joining.
A guest drops out
See what they’ve paid, what remains and what may need refunding.
There’s a bride surprise
Keep selected itinerary details hidden from her view.
The price changes
Update everyone’s balance without circulating another spreadsheet.
Keep WhatsApp for the chaos. Keep Brood for the truth.
Then what?
After the hen is sorted
During the weekend
Brood becomes the group hub: itinerary, addresses, booking refs, balance and any last-minute plan changes.
Afterwards
A future memories page can close the loop and turn today’s guests into tomorrow’s organisers.
