Hen Weekend crafting walking and boring

Goodness me, that's expensive! I don't blame you for not going, a, because it is a lot of money and b, it consists of things you really dislike. A wise decision, I think.

OH heavens sounds like my idea of hell - I wouldn't go.

I went to my daughter’s, but it was a spa day and I left them to have a meal in the evening, having given the bridesmaids a major contribution to the day.

I was invited to my dil’s hen weekend, but declined gracefully, as I had no desire to spend the hight sharing a room in a hotel with a young lady I don’t know.

Just do it!!

You only live once, if you are all friends of the same person you will probably have more in common than you think.
Life is for living and it’s always better to have something to look back on than not !

Please don’t ever waste time thinking if only.....even for this ?

I too am an old curmudgeon when it comes to hen and stag parties - it is all out of control now and OTT.

I went along to my now DiL's Hen Party which consisted of 3 parts. I attended the morning and afternoon bits - the afternoon being afternoon tea which was right up my street - but not the evening knees up which wasn't my scene at all and it was happily accepted.
No I wouldn't be attending GlamM I'm not up to walking and the other activities don't appeal and as for sharing a room for a whole weekend and paying for the privilege............

I ve never been to a hen party or weekend and I feel a bit thankful personally I wouldn’t enjoy a forced over priced weekend at all so no I wouldn’t be attending
Now a walking craft weekend with a couple of friends might be different

Ooo no on no! Why would she think you'd want to spend a fortune to do things you're not interested in & sleep with a roomful of strangers?! Did d it once to please a friend, never again!

Stag and hen parties are just another example of the kind of self indulgence we would never have dreamed of.

The 'last night of freedom' has evolved into a themed extravaganza with money no object. Well, that's OK if you can afford it but pity the poor guest who feels duty bound to go even though she can't really justify the expense.

The happy couple have probably been living together for years. They already have the house, the furniture, the cars and often as not a couple of kids.

They didn't have hen parties, weekends etc in my day. Thank goodness.

Sharing a room is my idea of nightmare ( except for best friend who I have holidayed with) never mind the cost. What's with all this getting married abroad?! My hen many years ago was a meal in a local pub. We walked there and it cost next to nothing

Never been to one, but it sounds both boring and expensive!
Also, sharing a room with strangers? Nooooooo.?

I would thoroughly enjoy a weekend of crafting and walking, but definitely not as part of a hen weekend - and sharing a room with three strangers would be an absolute no no .
But going with one or two like minded friends, and having my own room, now that would be an entirely different matter.
I don't blame you in the least for ducking out of this one GlamM

Sounds like a laugh a minute!

Hen dos of any flavour fill me with horror. Never had one (two weddings) and never accepted an invite. Can’t blame you for opting out.

I have never been to hen party but if I was ever invited that sounds like my idea of a nightmare.
You have made a very wise decision.
