    I've got a surprise weekend away with just a few close friends at the beginning of Dec (2 months before wedding), but we usually have a night away then anyway for xmas shopping so it's to do that as well. Then 2 weeks before the wedding i've got a dinner with lots of female friends and family. It's a cheesy restaurant with DJ, they clear the tables away at 10pm and its non stop dancing till midnight, I can't wait!

    Mine's on Saturday - three weeks before the wedding. Going out to my favourite local Chinese restaurant with friends, family and work colleagues. My BM has organised it, and am really looking forward to it. Costing £20 each - didn't want to spend too much as my colleague is getting married three weeks after me, and with Christmas coming up it's getting expensive for everyone!

    Mine's about 8 weeks before the wedding. We were going to have it quite a bit closer but one of my hens recently found out she's pregnant and the baby is due the day before my original Hen Do date, so we brought it forward so we didn't have to leave her out.

    We're booking a cottage (they won't tell me the location though!) for some girly, 'at home' fun. Can't wait!!

    We're going up to Manchester for the weekend, we have two nights in a spa hotel and cocktail making on the Saturday. It's about 8 weeks before the wedding, as one of my BMs is a teacher and so is another of my friends, and that's half term. xx

    I had my hen do 1 month before the wedding. 11 of us spent the weekend in a country cottage that had a spa. We had a murder mystery evening on the first night (a company came in and run that), then used all spa facilities on the second day followed by a game of rounders in the garden. It was great fun and something mum and mother in law felt comfortable with too

    Im having mine two months before the wedding. The date was dictated by my sister's university finals.

    I want to go to Go Ape in Mansfield and spend the weekend in Nottingham which is where I went to uni. Just need my bridesmaids to do some organising.

    Mines just over 2 months and it coincides with a BH monday so thought people would appreciate an extra day recovery. Going to Brighton with about 25 peeps, should be interesting ?

    I am having two!

    The first is at the end of February and is an afternoon tea for all of my female friends and family (Mr CB's family too). It will be low key, cheap and it's up to them if they want to come or not. I wanted to extend the invite to them anyway.

    My proper hen party is at the end of March. My CBM is organising it and I have no idea what's going on save that it's abroad. That's about 5 weeks before the wedding.

    I'll be having 2. 1 - a spa day for me, my sister, my niece and my mum, probably about 6 weeks beforehand. 2 - a meal out for all my girlie friends (including my boss who's an honorary girl for the evening!) which will involve the traditional hilarity, booze and embarrassment.

    I think we're off to London for a meal and show. Possibly Dirty Dancing cos we all love it. Either that or a spa. I am too old (30 lol) and too tired to go out drinking all night. Last time I did that I was ill for a week!

    Oh and no strippers for me eeeewwwwwwwwwwww.
