did anyone else not enjoy their hen weekend as much as they wished they did?

Charlene82, 19 June, 2013 at 12:44 Posted on Planning 0 6

I had mine few weekends ago, and seen a really negative side to few real close friends and is regretting some of them coming to my wedding! an feel bit rubbish i had this experience , wondered if anyone had same feeling

we went to bath for weekend there was 9 of us, 3 was of my finacee family (2 sisiter in law and his sister) 2 of my friends amazing, and has made me feel more closer to them, 3 were nightmare, 1 was nightmare on first night then fine and other 2 was nightmare (including one of my bridesmaids!) throughout, one was just really moany including telling me off after first night sleep cause i kept her awake as i had panic attack so didnt sleep at all cause i was worried about snoring as she said she doesnt like snores. another thing was she was v negitive about everything as it wasnt her taste, and other one was just rude day before ringing to rant at me becuase she was worried about money and on way home told me who she thinks should be in my wedding party and who she thinks shouldnt, so wasnt happy about who i had choosen (shes a bridesmaid ) and then the 2 nightmares just bitched about my friends who they didnt like all weekend, which included my cheif bridesmaid who im v close to, i was so tired from lack of sleep i didnt say anything, also one of the nightmare ones took photos of me during me having stripper, i asked her to delete one as i was unhappy about how i looked and she refused and moaned that i asked her,

i know i sounds v negative i just was disappointed about how some of my so called friends acted. i understand not enjoying other peoples hen weekends i hated one of my best friends but i joined in never effected how i was during it and she didnt know untill few months after the wedding and we laugh about it now. i just dont want the nightmares now at my wedding because i felt they were out of order. i did love saturday night which included a little party and my stripper!! ?

has anyone else had bad experience on their hen weekend?

    Oh Charlene, sounds like you had a pretty rough time, the trouble with weddings & the lead up etc is that everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, has an opinion, people think its ok to *** about your plans, and generally no one is into it the way you & OH are. Having said that, it sounds like you've got a couple there that are completely out of order - are you able to say anything to them without getting too upset, just to point out that your hen wasn't the experience you'd hoped for with all the griping & moaning going on? You want to be able to clear the air before the big day itself, don't want those issues floating down the aisle with you!

    Hope you can get the air cleared.

    Claire

    Sorry to hear you had a bad experience on your hen; mine was a disaster, it's a subject we just don't mention anymore yet we got through the wedding fine! Those that 'misbehaved' on my hen were very calmly advised to watch their behaviour on the wedding day & they did so (It was SIL and MIL so H2B warned them!!!). If you are regretting asking them, I'd suggest have a good think about what you want to do. If you are worried about their behaviour on the day, then you need to deal with the issues now or otherwise you will be constantly worried on the day and won't be able to relax! The difference regarding behaviour on the hen versus behaviour on the wedding day is that on the wedding day itself, bad behaviour is a 'no-no' and they won't do it or, even if they do, 1. you probably won't notice as you'll be so busy having a wonderful day and 2. other people will be watching out for you and put a stop to that behaviour.

    Aww thanks for reply was worried i was only one!

    its not so much im worried about how they act cause they aint ruining my day! its more that i wish they wasnt coming cause i dont feel they deserve it, esp my bridesmaid! i am having my bridesmaid staying in my room night before which i am concerned about , was issue her staying, she didnt want to pay for room as she is struggling with money so i stuipdly said she can stay with me and dont worry about paying me as ill be in that room anyways! im annoyed with myself for being so nice, she is the one who has rant at me , im def re considering my friendship with her. it took me a long time to ask her to be my bridesmaid as know what she was like, hoped she wouldnt be like this on my wedding! and now i wish i didnt! i have txted her about her behaviour on my weekend as she sent txt asking if im annoyed with her for weekend, i didnt mention it so she must have though about what she was like to txt out blue, ive mentioned i wasnt impressed with some of what she said, and now shes being super nice!

    Sorry to hear that they were so nasty. I don't get why anyone has to be like that, let alone when they're your friends.

    If it were me, I would be having a word and if they can't provide a damn good reason why they were behaving that way I would be telling them not to bother coming to the wedding.

    It's one thing being a little grumpy or whatever but they went beyond that and their behaviour doesn't sound like that of true friends.

    Best of luck & I hope it goes ok. What are you planning to say to her regarding the hen? (Just curious as my one is still not spoken about!)

    After my disastrous hen, my fiancé really enjoyed his so I was really jealous too!
