I had mine last month. Went to the spa at Bath with my mum and girlies, then went out in the evening. It was very laid back, though I was ridiculously out of it and covered in bruises for the next few weeks. My friends organised some brill games, it was lovely.
Chief (and only BM) is with baby in England - and I can't really be bothered! (Does that sound wrong??)
I work most weekends and every weekend (or time off on a weekend is SOOOO precious, either to meet suppliers, try and get our houses rented out, or just to see my H2B - who works 200 miles away just now) :-(
Can't see it being wild as one of them will be 8 months pregnant!!! ?
I only know the date. Though i've recently found out (as one's useless at keeping secrets) that it's an overnighter too! ? And the other one told me the other day she'd just booked me a surprise ?
There are 10 of us going to a spa. We've got treatments booked and we're staying the night in the hotel and having a posh meal there too. There will be a lot of drinking and silly games. Hope we don't get thrown out!
I'm having a weekend in Bath doing the spa/dinner thing for 2 nights with my CBM, Mum and Aunt. The week before I'm having a night out at a chinese which has a disco. There will be 17 of us ?
Nothing! nothing! nothing! i'm being a miserable cow about it! my sis is my only BM and she lives 200 miles away back "home" i'd love to go out up north but no one to invite as no one here will make the trip and i think that having one where i live will be a pile of w*** so i'm being a big grump!
I think I'm being "diffucult" too as H2B just told me he has phoned his two sisters to ask them to try and organise something for me!!! They BOTH hace young families!!!! I would HATE that if i were them :-(
Going to amsterdam with 4 BMs for a long weekend in June, and then the Saturday before my wedding having 15 people staying overnight and we're going bowling, having a cocktail lesson, dinner and clubbing - followed by a picnic on the Sunday (if we're not too hungover!)
I had went on a party boat along thames and on to a club at Embankment! it was a really good laugh and it only cost £25 per person that includes the disco boat, a buffet meal on board teh boat and entry to the club!
I'm not sure what i'm doing yet, want a girly holiday abroad but thinking its unlikely with ££ etc so prob going to my mums in Herts for a long weekend doing some sort of activity on the Friday like cupcake making, or chocolate making (something non-alcohol related and fun!) then Friday night staying in with aunties, cousins, mums friends and mine (about 30 of us) with games, butlers in the buff and cocktails, sat getting ready for a big night out in London and then sunday BBQ! Cheap + cheerful and everyone can be involved xx
My CBM has booked a weekend away for 17 of us to Marbella on 25th June - jetting off in 3 months today! ?
Then I'm also going to do another one for family & friends that can't make that - will be pretty cheap and cheerful but fun, dinner at an all-you-can-eat Chinese that has music & dancing etc afterwards, then on to the club for the younger ones.
I dont want to do anything to be honest. I kinda think that hen and stags are pointless! Will just have a night out and maybe dress up but I am only doing that because my friends are on at me all the n#time about it.
And most of my friends are guys and wont be able to go! They will have to go on h2b stag instead!
About 15 of us (including mums, aunties etc) went to Chicagos for dinner and drinks about a month ago. Was a great night (although it took me two days to recover!)
Also, last weekend 5 of us went to the Algarve for two nights. Although I wasn't fussed about going away I'm so pleased I did because we had a fantastic time. Out Friday night and then wandering around the old town during the day Saturday and a quiet night Saturday night. It was so good we're thinking of going back with the boys.
The thing I liked most about the weekend was that it made me relax. Being away from home meant I couldn't do anything and I really needed it. Definitely recommend it.
I'm having two: First and biggest one in London, we are going to learn a dance routine for a song of my choice!! Any suggestions? Bearing in mind, it is likely that we will end up performing this later on at the wedding! One friend suggested 'Like a virgin' can you imagine dancing to that in front of my aunties?!
Then we'll get all glammed up and go for expensive cocktails.
My second one is 2 nights before the wedding with family, mother in law to be, sisters and their babies. So defo planning not to drink much at that one. Prob have a late afternoon glass of champagne or something.
My back-up plan for a great hen-do was to hire a boat on the thames, and get the chippendales to serve us champagne as we cruised along - bit gutted my mates didn't go for that in the end
Mine's a weekender, but not a wild one. It's all Cardiff and the surrounding area based as I live here.
Friday night we're doing a Ghost Walk followed by dinner somewhere.
Saturday daytime we're doing a Treasure Hunt followed by a beach trip/mini golf at Barry Island (and hopefully avoiding and Gavin and Stacey references).
Saturday nighttime we're off to Reflex to dance to some cheesy 80's pop.
Sunday will be a day of recovery with a BBQ for those still around.
Mine is in Leeds. Going to a hotel in the countryside near wetherby and then Leeds (where I am from for the evening).
Yeah we are having a the restaurant meal package that includes a free drink and then have arranged the white room package that includes a private booth and cocktail lesson and all sorts of other bits (not sure if the packages are the same at all the tiger tiger's?)
Ahhh Chez, I didnt realise Tiger Tiger had places all over!
Me and my 7 hens are going to London for 2 nights in July staying in a 5* Central Hotel with Spa Day and Meal at Tiger Tiger! Cant wait whoop whoop!!! Just arranging it all now which is a pain in the @$$. Have you ever been to TT before? I was looking at their website and wondering if its the kind of place where you eat in one part and go on a different floor for a dance?
I have never been, but I have heard a lot of good things about it. Apparently they do nice food.
The restaurant and bar are usually seperate to the other parts. The one in leeds has the bar and restaurant as you go in and then the different night clubs are downstairs in seperate areas.
