Is it ok to go to hen party but not wedding

Only the bride and groom can answer this for you. I've been told Santorini is really expensive so maybe check what the bride and groom are providing in the way of food whilst you're there? Also, it's not very far away, could you and your DH afford to go for a couple of nights and just go to the wedding?

There's so many factors in this that need breaking down and looking at before you can make a proper decision. I also think that if you're asking this Q now, you'll regret not going.

As an ex Primary Teacher I would never advise taking a child out during SATs; they set them up for secondary school. See if you can find out what your Local Authority does if a child is too unwell to be at school during SATs week? Can they re-sit them later?

Hi Emma,

I'd say there's no reason to feel guilty at all, especially as Santorini is a notoriously expensive destination! They should appreciate your support no matter how you show it

I would say that this wedding organization is weird

You've got to ask the bride and groom really. I'd say that they'd completely understand though.

I'm getting married abroad and would be totally fine with guests coming to the hen and not the wedding. I understand it's a big financial commitment. Although saying that, I am also having my hen in my local city because I don't think it's fair to ask guests to travel for 2/3 separate events.
