Are you inviting Family to Hen do?

I invited my mum and she's coming, but my mother in law and sister in law to be didn't want to come!

Nah, just a few mates. I'll be having a day out with my nieces so they can get to know my cbm.... something fun...

might do something with my mum too. sis in law is about to drop a sprog and i've not asked MIL.

My sis and SIL are coming.

My mother is too busy attending the Neil Young gig in hyde park............................................... can i point out she is 61.

I struggled with this one too. In the end I decided against inviting MIL2B as I've asked for an adventurous hen do and I doubt it's be her kind of thing. I've invited BIL2B's girlfriend (she's a BM too) and 3 of h2b's cousins. I don't know them that well but always get on well with them and they should like the kind of thing we do. One of my cousins are invited. My mum informed me she was organising my hen do a week after we got engaged so I didn't really get a chance to invite her! ? I don't know what I'mdoing for my hen so it's been pretty difficult to know who to invite.

H2b didn't originally invite my dad or brothers as he thought my dad might feel awkward with everyone else being 20 years younger, and my brothers would feel too young and not know anyone. As it is my dad was quite upset when he found out he wasn't going so he and his friend are now invited (that wasn't as awkward as it sounds) and my brothers may or may not go - depends on their work (Army). H2b's dad or step-dad aren't going though.

I will have a smaller, local hen do where I'll invite MIL2b and some more of my cousins, aunts and friends who couldn't make the other one.

So in summary, a mix for us!

For my proper one am having my mum, sis and couple of aunts as well as my mates but having small civillised meal nearer the time when i'll invite mil2b and sil2b (all 4 of them!!!)

Hiya

I have my Mother In Law, Mum and sister in law coming along, one of my good friends did the same thing for hers. It depends how you feel, I know both of my mums will be fun. But if you would be embarassed by your Mums seeing you pi**ed or trying to talk a guy out of his boxers for a hen do dare, I wouldn't invite them..

I think it's more likely me be embarrassed by mum doing something like that ?

My mum , auntys and cousins would never forgive me if they were not askes, and i want them all there. mil2b will not be invited

My mum is coming to the whole thing, but she's the typ of mum who will be encouraging us to drink 'more champagen daaaarling!' sis is obviously coming to the whole day to, and my aunt is coming to the evening (but she is only a few years older than me, and is more like a bigger sister).

i also invited my SIL but the cost of coming down 8wks before the wedding made it too expensive.

Brilliant, can she come to my hen do too, she sounds a laugh ;-) Bit worried about my MIL, she tends to fall over when she's just had a couple x

Ill be having mum, nan, mil2b, cousins the lot!

We did both - First we went had a spa day and then onto a comedy club. From there the parents went home and the rest of us went on to paint the town red ?. The thought of that was enough to send the mums home.

I've invited my three future sister in-laws, my three closest friends, OH's cousin as she's quite a close member of the family, my close friend from work and I did invite my mum but she doesn't think it's right for her to come on my hen do ?. Unfortunately, OH's mum is no longer with us. Not many of us really but I think it's a nice little group - I have been stressing about whether I should be inviting other people but I think I've decided to stick with what I have.

My Mum is coming. She is one who has a better social life than me and once after my leaving do at an old work, I ended up going home with the bags (which she had offered to do) whilst she ended up going to a club with my sis and some of my old colleagues ?

Did invite the inlaws, the mil and elder sil is not coming but the younger sis is.

For my hen do (which, by the way, is this weekend!! ? ) i've invited 2 cousins who are both bridesmaids, but the rest are all friends. I'll probably do another one the week before the wedding that will be a meal or something with my mum / aunty / MIL2B / SIL2B etc....

For my main Hen Do to Magaluf, my mum, sister, sil2b & 6 of my cousins are coming. All the rest are friends.

Then I'm having a UK one aswell for anyone that couldn't come to Magaluf.

Ooh yes they are coming - wouldnt have it any other way!!my mum and aunty, MIL Aunty in law and cousin in law plus 10 friends and we are all off to Spain tomo woo hoo!! I am so excited i could burst - have just checked us all in on line!!

then having a smaller one at home next weekend for those who couldnt come and more family will come then.

Yes I have my mum, SIL2B,SIL and MIL2b too but mother inlaw is only coming for a few hours for a couple of drinks before we climb aboard our disco river Thames cruise! cant wait - only 2 weeks away now!

I had my sister, my Mum, 2 cousins and my brother's girlfriend there on the 'family' front.

I also invited MIL2B and SIL2B who didn't come.

Im having a close friends and sister! only hen do weekend away - should be messy !!! ha ha ? ?

and then a surprise night out which sis is organising with mum MIL, h2bs aunts cousins my aunts cousins and some friends who were not invited to weekend away

seems to have kept everyone happy !! SO FAR !!!

I want my mum to come to mine, and I need to invite fmil and fsil. But I was thinking of a nice meal at my favourite chinese. Sadly both fmil and fsil don't eat chinese, so that plan has gone out of the window!

My friend suggested a Saturday afternoon in Liverpool as well, but I don't think this would be one for parents.

I really don't what to do still fancy a meal, but now money is even tighter. Can not really afford one

I'm another one with a 'fun' mum and wouldn't consider not having her there on my hen do! I'm actually also having 2 though, my 'proper' one will be 2-3 nights in Dublin with friends, workmates, my mum, my 2 aunts and some close family friends (both older and young) - the ones who like to have a drink and a dance, etc. I will probably invite MIL2b and SIL2b out of courtesy but it really will not be their thing at all, so I'm probably going to organise a meal too where they'll come with some of H2B's aunties, plus my nan and any of the older ones that don't come on the Dublin weekend.

So a mixed bag.....!

Think I'm liking the idea of inviting them out for maybe lunch, then getting them to bugger off whilst we paint the town red!Xx
