Girls, wondering what you all have planned for your hen, the fact you are marrying abroad? I'm planning a mini hen/stag 2 nights before the wedding when we're away as our friends from the US get in then. But we're having the main one at home.

I'll have about 30 people for my hen, which is a lot. I have a lot of really good friends, but they are in different groups and don't all know each other well. So now my bridesmaids can't agree on what to do for my hen. Go away or stay at home.... and to be honest, I really dont want to get involved and take over as my sister calls me a control freak. At the end of the day what's important to me is doing the whole reminiscing over the past, fun things about the hen, not just a night on the town.

The more they go on about it, the more I feel like telling them to forget about it and we'll just have the one away... I live in the UK and don't get home a whole lot so I really only have 1 weekend to see everyone and spend time with them before I get married.
What are you all doing???

Well I'm not getting married abroad but my hens all had different ideas of where to go/what to do/what kind of hen ie spa weekend, drinking weekend, typical hen with plastic willies and L plates etc! And they were all kinda arguing amongst themselves and I got soooo sick of listening it it so I said "We're going to Cork on Saturday March 26th, one night away, end of!" And got my MOH to organise everything - which she has done very well I must say! My other BMs were a little unhappy about me letting my MOH take over but at the end of the day it stopped a lot of back biting and silly fights and I didn't have to listen to any more whinging! My MOH was only delighted to take over organising it and to be honest, I was delighted to let her at that stage. She doesn't take crap from anyone and has told people straight out if they've irritated her!
My advice - let your MOH do all the work. Just decide on when and where and let her do the rest! Best of luck hun!
