When to hen?

by HappyLamb » Tue Nov 08, 2011 7:19 pm

Hi all, just wondering when is the right time to have hen party.. I'm getting married in 9 months and I was planning on having it about 2 months before wedding to let purse recover

but now a good friend announced her wedding for that weekend.. Is it usual to have it a particular time in advance?? All confused cause my Sis said earlier than 2 months is too early.. Friend said don't have it too early!!!

Hi we are getting married in Aug and our hen/stag do's are in may....maybe a little early but like you we wanted to go easy on peoples's purses/wallets!!!! Esp if people are traveling to hen or stag and wedding. Have your hen wherever you like is my advice

I think its totally up to yourself when you have it really. Im not having mine until 2 wks before wedding very close i know but both my sister live abroad and wont be home until then and theres no way id be having my hen without them.

It's completely up to you.... There are no rules...I'm having mine 2 months b4 because that's when suits everyone..... Do it when ever you want! No such thing as too early!

I made a wish and you came true, I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you! X x x

I am having mine 7 weeks before, as you can see from above everyone is different.. I personally find it financially difficult myself when the hen is too close to a wedding I am attending so I don't want others to feel the purse pain when coming to ours

Thanks so much for the feedback.. I was thinking May would be good

I think I have to just say that's when I want it.. April2012, that's lovely to olan it to have your Sis there, I'd imagine your hen party buzz will go all the way up to the big day.

I'm thinking it will be a small enough hen for me, a lot of my friends are married and very settled so I think it will be a one night job

thanks again all
