Hen do drama - help

RomanticYellowFlowers38233, 19 July, 2021 at 22:33 Posted on Etiquette and Advice 0 13
Hello everyone,


As a bride to be, I feel as if I need some advice from others going through this.
I’ve recently had my hen do where I’ve fallen out with 3 of my friends including one who is a BM. 1 of the girls is also getting married shortly and my BM is her MoH, at my hen do she decided to ask 1 of the other girls to be her BM and spent the entire hen do making it about her wedding etc.
My BM and the other 2 girls then spent the entire night in another room and kept separating themselves from the rest of the hen do. Including at one point turning the music off because they were tired and going to bed to then get in the hot tub in their room and asked other girls in but not me...
My other BM saw this upset me and shouted at them which has caused a whole load of drama and now they are no longer coming to my wedding.
Just want to know I’m not alone in this stress Smiley sad

    They sound like awful friends and bitches, you must be do upset 🥲 what should have been a wonderful time for you was instead a very hurtful experience. They need to apologise though from what you have said it doesn’t sound like they will , you don’t need people like that in your life. Your other bridesmaid sounds like a good friend. Please don’t let them spoil your wedding day , I know it’s hard but unless they apologise you need to cut them from your life and concentrate on the people who matter xx

    Thanks Marcie, I really appreciate you getting back to me. I feel like I just needed the opinion of someone who wasn’t there.


    The rest of the girls there made sure I had a wonderful time and I made some lovely memories with them.
    I just feel so disappointed by the whole thing as even my other friends felt uncomfortable around them and one friend said they didn’t even bother to say hello to her.
    The girl who is also getting married went ahead of me to the place we were staying and took a double bed to herself leaving my other bridesmaid without a bed for the night. They also left in the morning without saying bye to me or anyone. I’m just in complete shock but you’re right I just need to have those around me that care Smiley smile

    They should have been making you feel special not shit 🥲 I’m glad your other friends were lovely and tried to make it special for you. I wonder if there is some jealousy involved and they didn’t like all the attention on you. As I said before please don’t let them ruin your special day xx

    I’m so sorry this happened to you.


    I can’t add much to what the others have said but agree, tell them they are no longer welcome at your wedding, particularly the bridesmaid!
    You clearly have caring and supporting friends in your life and don’t need toxic people.
    Best of luck with your wedding

    I’m so sorry this happened, sometimes the break-up is the blessing.


    This is your hen do, a gathering of your dearest friends. How disrespectful that someone could start a ‘click’ at your do. I’m all for down time but if she made the whole day about herself then she honestly wasn’t there for you and doesn’t respect you. For one of your bridesmaids to join in....no sorry, not on.
    They are not worth the money you are about to pay on their dinner and drinks.
    I would calmly sit them down, explain in a mature way that what they did was unacceptable and not to be tolerated. Clearly they don’t hold the same respect as you do for them therefore please don’t come to the wedding, then Walk out tall and proud!!
    Your other friends who were there for you and made sure you had fun are the people you should spend your energy on.....not the selfish, self-entitled silly girls.
    Hope you have the best day surrounded by people that love and support you in your journey! Xxx

    Wow what horrible people. I can only echo previous comments that they clearly are uncaring, unkind and you deserve so much more! I know you’ll be feeling upset about it still but some people are not worth it. Focus on the friends who tried to make it a good weekend for you.
    For the other girl to even consider asking someone to be her bridesmaid at your hen party is not on!

    I had a friend who was a maid of honour to a wedding where the bride “fired” (is that a thing?” The other BMs for being rude and behaving similarly. Honestly, you are better off being supported by people who care - also I am open to the idea that the day is YOURS so you can adjust according to what works best for you.


    You should be thrilled and excited not having people drag you down. You do not deserve that x
