Hen ideas with your mum

We had a meal with everyone within a nightclub place then some could go home and the party animals could stay

Afternoon tea?

Pottery class?

Day trip (theme park/zoo etc)?

I went for a high tea at the place we were having our meal. I went with my mum and brother and it was lovely.

Ooh kharv I hadn't thought of doing some sort of class.. That sounds quite interesting.

I'll be watching these relies too!! My sister is organising my local hen which I believe even includes my Nans! Meal somewhere and then out after for those who fancy it but my MiL is going on holiday when we're having it so I'm thinking of doing something with her and my mom when OH goes on stag. What is the big question though. Any pampering things arw out, nothing active, so it looks like food or food for us but it also needs to be super cheap as I will be royally skint by then!

When I was a bridesmaid for my cousin, my mum, my two aunts and the grooms mum all came on the hen party. We did a pre organised party night in a hotel - it worked really well. We had a meal then there was a live band playing afterwards. Great to stay in the same place, and it's more than a meal because you can dance afterwards! People can then drink as much/little as they like, have a nice meal and a dance, or sit and chat if they'd rather!

My mum fell asleep in her dinner after too much wine, but that's another story!....

If you'd rather stay in, you could rent an apartment or a chalet, and everyone could bring food / order pizza and you could play party games? They don't need to be rude or inappropriate. I've never been on hen parties when the games have been too rude for mums anyway - but perhaps we are just tame hens, or my mum is too easy going! I put condoms in goodie bags that she had once. She just said it was disgusting so she threw it in the bin, but wasn't offended by it!!!

There was a few threads on here before on hen nights that had some good ideas - have a look!

My lovely maids have organised a day at the races and nice dinner afterwards. Mums/aunties are then retiring back to the hotel whilst the rest of us go on for drinks.

We're going to a big race day but I think tickets for usual meetings are quite reasonable and minimum bet is £2.00

There would be quite a few possibilities, I would think. Glass painting, cupcake making, jewellery making, graffiti class etc!

Afternoon tea is another good suggestion, forgot about that! I've also organised one that mums came to (that's why they call me ATB!) in a room in a village hall and did the food / cocktails in teapots etc. myself. Very relaxed and fun and a nice afternoon out for all ranges of ages!

I'm not too sure when you're wedding is, but we went to Ascot! Was a great reason to get dressed up, picnic etc. Was really lovely :-)

Classes sound like a fab idea! You could think about a show and a meal? Not too certain! (For someone who also isn't a fan of nightlife/clubbing/drinking I know exactly how much harder it makes!)

We went to a knicker making workshop! It was so much fun.

On the Friday evening, we just went out for a meal. The youngsters stayed out for cocktails and the oldies (mum, MIL and auntie) went home. On the Saturday after the class, we went for lunch, then had free time for shopping, chilling, then had food and games in the apartment then went to a place where we had a private karaoke booth. The youngies then went onto a club and the oldies went home.

Were doing a cocktail making class followed by a meal, bar and club so the oldies can do the first bit :-)

Another ladies day hen do here, we are going to chester and then going for a hardcore night-out after, mums can go back to their hotel whenever.

I went to a comedy club and they served food there too. We had a really good time!

Thanks for all the lovely ideas ladies, definitely got some ideas to discuss now .
