OM's - what did you do for your hen?

I had 3

first was a suprise- 13 mates went to Bristol and did "its a knock out" luckily it was a hot sunny day, we got absolutley soaked. Went out in Bristol that night for dancing and cocktails.

Number 2 was planned by me and was in a local bar and club- very messy night

Number 3 was arranged as a suprise by some fellow hitchers! It had a Hello Kitty theme and a set of tasks to be completed throughout the evening.

All 3 were fab, they happened on consecutive weeks as well which was a bit heavy going on my skin but I wouldnt change it for the world.

Friday night of mine was a night out to a greek restaurant, limo, dinner, drinks, fancy dress accesories, dancing, smashing plates so much fun. Then sat night was a sleepover with ann summers party, drinks, kareoke, pizza, scary films etc, again sooo much fun. Sunday to recover! i loved my weekend and wouldnt change it.

I think we need flashes ladies!!!

I had two. I went to Manchester for the weekend with my uni girls and stayed in an aprtment they had decorated it all lovely for me, we went out to a spa and had lunch then spent the rest of the weekend drinking, was very very drunken and I cant remember most of it!!

The second was all friends and family, another spa and a Take that tribute nite at the same hotel, "robbie" got me up and sang to me. V amusing!

I went to Newquay to do a cliff-based assult course called snakes and ladders then zip wire. Then went to a posh hotel for jacuzzi/pool/sauna use, then dinner and drinks.

Ha ha, Claire yours looks fab!! And you are so pretty!! I wish had had a mcdonalds nearby, our hotel was in the middle of nowhre, vending machine crisps was the only night time munchies!!

Heres some of my first one in Manchester...

The apartment decorations by the girls....

And drunken antics later on! Boob grabbing!

My proper hen now... Heres me outside my house as we left...

Then me and my bridesmaid in the spa...

In the room ready to go..

OR SO i THOUGHT...

All of us after our meal waiting for Take that.. ha

Me and my sister and sis in law

And me being seranaded along with another hen..

A small group of us went to London for the weekend. We started off drinking champagne on the train and then went for lunch in Covent Garden. In the evening, we had a flight on the London Eye followed by a nice meal and some cocktails. The next day we had a lovely breakfast sat in one of the parks enjoying the sunshine before catching the train home.

Im so glad I am not the only one who did "its a knock out"

Hen do 1;

Hen do 2;

Hen do 3- would flash a pic of all of us but I think some Hitchers may prefer to stay hidden!!

Great pics. thanks for sharing.

They all look like lots of fun, kind of jealous that I'm only having 1 though!! 6 weeks till mine, excited!!

I had 2. The first was a meal out then drinks and dancing at our local with all of my new mummy friends (they couldn't afford the main do so threw a little one for me). It was lovely but very messy as it was the first girls night out most of us had been on since having our babies!

The main one was in Birmingham and included Hula Hoop lessons, champagne lunch, casino, cocktail making, dinner and night club on the first night and was followed by a spa day and lunch before we all went home. I loved it!

I had two hen nights, one normal and another that was slightly different.

Some very love Hitchers threw me a cyber hen night which included a surprise parcel full of pressies, alcohol and a cyber game of truth or dare. Prior to this, I gave them all names for the hen night based on Madonna and Lady Gaga songs and we all chnaged our FB profile pictures to reflect them. It was the most fun that I've ever had online and I'm still touched that they all went to that amont of effort. ?

For my RL hen night, we went to Lucky Voice, then for something to eat and went on a bar crawl that ended up in a club. I had dare cards that I had to complete too.

And I flashed my shelf ?

Haha! I had to write 'I'm going commando' as my FB status.

Mine was poo. CBM was supposed to be organising it so I left her to it as she said she had it all under control. Only she didn't. I ended up having to get everyones t-shirts sorted but she assured me she had the actual evening sorted. She lied!

So I had no funky transport or anything special to do. We just had a boozy night up town in the pink gear that we had to rush up town to get in the morning. My aunt saved the day and pimped me out complete with d ildo cowboy hat ?

You look like you all had a ball in the end though!! It looks well fun! Loving the hat! And drunken debauchery just as it should be.

I was supposed to have a weekend in a cottage but I fell out with my MOH 3 months before the wedding so I organised my own real one(not the mini manchester one) quite last minute too. Not spoken to her since. Bee-hatch.

I have culled mine too. Unfortunately it was after the wedding so she is in all of my pics ?

Ouch. So happy I swapped for my man of honour instead. Your new mate!

Yes, you can share him with me! In fact, I'm off to see what he looks like!

He looks like Mowgli from the jungle book! Thats what I call him!! Ha ha ha!!

Ah yes, I've spotted him ?

Tiny isn't he? He can fit girls size 10 jeans. No need.

Good job you're slim then. I wouldn't have wanted to stand next to him on my wedding day!

I had 3 other bridesmaids too. And Ive put a stone on since the wedding.

He's ace though, he has gay ttributes without being gay. We lived together for years and he used to do my highlights and everything before I cvould afford the hairdressers. Luff him. He saw me first on the wedding morning, even before my dad!

Aww I wish I had a pal like that! Especially one that could do my highlights!

I just wish he lived here. I only see him once every 2 months or so now he has a gf.. He is coming tyo stay for 4 days over easter without her though!! Yay!! I dont like her and she done like me.

Mine was organised as a total surprise by my 2 bridesmaids - one of whom was 36 when pregnant on the weekend! SO I knew it wouldn't be a big boozy number.

We went to Atul Kochhar's restaurant Vatika which is on a vineyard just outside Southampton. We stayed in a hotel 5 minutes away and all met there about 3pm and sat drinking champagne in the courtyard in the afternoon, went for our posh meal that night and then back to the hotel bar.

The next day they took me to Marwell Zoo and had arranged for me to feed the lemurs!! It was FAB!

We went to a spa (back massage, swimming, hot tub etc) and then an ABBA tribute act in the evening.

Not an OM but what a cracking bunch of hen do's! Seeing as you are all fantastic, if you fancy giving me a helping hand with mine pop onto this thread ? ?

I had two - one at my mums for the people who couldnt make my official hen do and my official hen do was a weekend in Edinburgh!!

Booked 3 apartments just off Princes Street and had a ball.

4.30 am at Bristol airport - only a quarter of the "chicks"

on my saturday theme nite - hollywood glamour/1920s

This was my hen report... https://www.hitched.co.uk/chat/forums/p/221313/2162490.aspx#2162490

I had 2. The first was quite traditional. 80s style fancy dress in blackpool. We went to the pleasure beach in the day and then to funny girls (drag act club) and dancing afterwards. Resulted in me standing with a toothless tramp at 5am singing wonderwall in the street

LADY AND THE TRAMP!

The 2nd one was in my home town and the girls surprised me with face masks of my OH

My BM's turned up in the morning with champagne and my outfit. They then left and went to get the venue ready while I stayed at home, got ready and was told it was an 80's theme. A few of my friends came round to get ready with me.

Mum had borrowed my Nan's mobility scooter to get me to the venue with was only a few minutes away. They had hired a bowling club and everyone was waiting there for me in their 80's fancy dress.

We had a few games in the club first, Mr & Mrs etc then this guy turned up dressed like 118 and he was a kids entertainer and had us doing a school sports day. Then an ice-cream man turned up and we all had ice-cream. Then more school sports (all the time we were being plied with cocktails).

Then an 80's style buffet.

We had a few more games inside the room (pin the kn0b on Rob etc) and then another man turned up. Turned out he was there to give us a Dirty Dancing lesson. It was absolutely FANTASTIC!!! I loved it.

More drinking ensued then a disco and karaoke was set up for the night time. All in all, it was absolutely amazing and I loved the fact that it was just us, no outsiders or intruders to turn their noses up at us etc. I loved it and it was perfect for me.

They hired a tog to come and take some snaps int he day too: http://s1098.photobucket.com/albums/g363/RebeccaBarrs/Hen%20Party/?start=all
