Hen do is booked - what's everyone else doing / what did you do?

Emj85, 12 March, 2012 at 23:46 Posted on Planning 0 16

?

My hen do is booked and invites were sent out last week for an RSVP 24th March - yay!

We're going to Alton towers (my favourite place) with the 'younger' girls and then going to TGI's for a meal and cocktails for the rest of my hens and those who don't really fancy alton towers. We've found 8x 241 vouchers on ebay for 99p. Bargain! It's on 21st April!

What's everyone else got planned for their hen dos?

    I hope you have a good time I love AT! When I was there we saw a hen party all decked out in pink tops and spangly things and they looked soooooo bored, they weren't even speaking to each other and after a bit of queuing we overheard some moaning to the bride about the queues, like it was her fault! I thought they seemed a really ungrateful bunch of mates to be honest, so I hope yours will just get in the spirit of it and enjoy it!

    I am having cocktails in town, then onto a central Indian place for a meal, then after that going round my usual places in the gay village for some drinking and dancing. Testing out the restaurant on Thursday to see if it is OK for large groups Smiley smile

    That sounds really fun! You've now got me wondering if I should go to Thorpe park for mine, suddenly dinner and cocktails sounds boring!

    Hoping to slide in a cheeky long weekend in the sunshine with the girls.

    Have found an amazing villa in Lanzarote so hopefully we will be heading there all 7 of us!

    I LOVE Alton Towers though!

    Thank you - I'm allowing myself to get a little bit excited now.

    That's a shame about the other hen party - like you say as if the bride could help it! You're right some people are so ungrateful - I hope my lot aren't like that!

    Hope you have a nice time, yours sounds lovely!

    xx

    Thank you!

    Dinner and cocktails sounds lovely - it's your pref hun, I'm sure you'll make it fun and you could add a bit more fun by getting a truth or dare game or something?

    Xx

    Trickers - Yeah, she still hasn't said if she's being MOH but has helped me organise my hen do and invites and she is corrolating the responses so to me that's a confirmation ? Thank you for asking

    I went to London for the weekend, saw a show, meal and night out. It was lovely!

    Aww that does sound nice - what did you go and see?

    We were originally going to see the Lady boys of Bangkok but they are not touring in Manchester before the wedding and Derby was a bit far for everyone.

    I ❤️ Alton Towers! That was on the cards for my Hen, but not everyone likes the big rides ... BOOO!!

    I didn't want an all singing all dancing Hen, and going out and getting bladdered does not interest me at all.

    Sooo...

    My Hen is a quiet(ish) weekend away, i've booked a holiday cottage/bungalow thing with hot tub. My nearest and dearest will be with me - my mam, sister, MIL2b & SIL2b. We plan to have a hot tub night with nibbles and wine, days out by the sea (arcades, shops, beach), posh sit down meal night (sister is a chef and offered to cook) and a games night. Really looking forward to it tbh.

    Hope you have a good time and well done on your bargain discounts too!

    We are going to see the Dirty Dancing Theatre show for mine, followed by a meal and drinks. I'm really excited, roll on 4th August! x

    Boo indeed!

    Your plan sounds wonderful though, very relaxing and intimate (if that's the right term of phrase)

    Have fun!
