Guys, what is your opinion on hens parties? I was thinking a weekend away, but I don’t want everyone to have to pay, especially if they don’t want to/can’t afford it.

Maybe a nice dinner and drinks with everyone?
It's your wedding. Those who are closest to you will do whatever you want with no complaints. You can do a nice dinner and drinks any time. Go all out girl! You only get married once! 💕

Dinner/drinks and out to a bar or club if that’s your thing. Then everyone can go home after, no ones having to pay for hotels, and it’s contained to one night out.

Disagree. Hen parties - and the whole notion of having a hen weekend or a bleeping foreign holiday dressed up as a hen party has become utterly ridiculous. If you want to go on a weekend away or a holiday with your friends then fine but don’t try to force people to go by using the emotional pull of it being connected to the wedding to do so.

I’m not having a hen party as such, more of a meal and cocktails kind of thing or a spa day. Two of my party (maid of honour and my mum) are disabled and struggle to walk, so I’m planning around them. Also my MOH struggles a lot financially, so I’m probably going to pay for her if we do a spa as I don’t want her to miss out.
To be honest, I don’t like full on drinking seshes anyway so I don’t feel like im missing out. :)

After having to postpone my actual wedding, haven’t given my hen party a second thought 😅 I’d be quite happy not bothering at all but my friends have been very keen about it.

Having been with my other half since I was 16/17, the thought of ‘one last night of freedom’ is a bit 🥴

Would be happy with a meal out and a few drinks at home, or (probably my preferred option) wine tasting or something ‘on location’ with all the women attending a few days before the wedding.

I'm not allowed to organise my hen apparently
They asked for absolute rules and I said no strippers or dreamboys etc and that I wanted to do karaoke but apart from that I'm happy 😂

Do they still have male strippers? I thought of that as an 80s/90s thing, and liable to be deemed as objectifying and degrading men in these woke times!

There's no way I'd force anyone to go but I'd like to think my closest friends and family would be mad excited for a weekend away for me, as I am for theirs!

Same here. I wasn’t fussed about having one but my bridesmaids have organised a surprise. All that I know is that we will be away for 2 nights and I’ll need a warm coat!

I went to one a couple of years ago where we had to draw a naked man. It was absolutely awful, he came around the room commenting on the drawings and he had shocking BO

That rings some bells! I'm male and actually used to model nude for artists - at an art college, not on a hen night! I was careful about my hygiene though!

They do indeed. My mate had one - he danced around her like something out of Magic Mike taking all his clothes off and then when he just had a thong on he started putting chocolate sauce and whipped cream On his stomach that she had to lick off etc and he was doing all sorts of gyrating his fool
In her face and thrusting etc etc etc it was beyond awkward!!!!!!

It was just too much. I mean he was up for a laugh and he was dead nice after when we gave him a drink and he was standing chatting to us all (with a robe on thank god!) but yeah it was just so overtly sexual - at one point he had her sitting on a chair and he was doing some sort of dancing where he was almost laying on her and thrusting away and then he put her hands on his bare ass checks and was pretending she was giving him a BJ…. He had a tiny thong on, which his balls were hanging out of and I mean you could see EVERYTHING! Never again - it was just so embarrassing!!!!

My hen do will be a meal out and a few drinks!

I’ve just booked an appointment at a local wedding dress sample shop, all getting a bit real! Going the same day we are giving notice. Nothing like doing things in a rush 🤣

Let's have some fun
Aisle song suggestions or what are you walking down the aisle to


Being a wedding coordinator I tend to see the same 4 or 5
Which are normally
A thousand years - Christina perrie
All of you - John legend
Thinking out loud - ed sheeran
Perfect - ed sheeran
And lately I've had numerous brides want you are the reason - callum scott (which btw I never understand because its a break up song but hey ho 😂)

Different songs I've seen that are lovely
only you- selena gomez cover
Set my world on fire - selestine
Tenerife sea - ed sheeran
Once in a lifetime - landon Austin

I'm torn between two songs
Never enough - cover by Boyce avenue
Or a millions dreams - cover by the piano guys
This is really random, and please listen to it before you judge.. 😆
But, I had 'He sleeps' from the film Pretty woman. Not because of anything to do with the film, I just loved it ❤

There's another version from the actual score that has the orchestra in too which is beautiful. I just loved the simplicity of the piano, and no words.

 
I’m being really boring and walking down the aisle to Pachelbel’s Canon, but we have a string quartet booked and I think it will sound gorgeous. We will walk out to Jack Wilson - Your Love Keeps Lifting Me Higher though which is a bit more upbeat.
 
We’re getting married next September. It’s very low key, 3 guests at the ceremony and then lunch at a hotel. Then we’re having a party in our garden for about 40 people.

I’ve had my dress for two years 🤣 I’ve never tried a proper wedding dress on and I go this one off Boohoo for £18. My shoes cost nearly 4 times my dress!

We’re going to sort everything in the new year. We’re planning on going to Iceland for 5 days for our honeymoon.

It’s only taken 12 years to get him down the aisle.

For me this is far too melancholy for a wedding. It’s so sad. It’s like the kind of music you’d hear at a memorial service.
