Hen party anxiety!

Need some advice please! I’ve been invited on a hen party for an ex work colleague turned friend who I really get along with. There’s a group of about 10-12 going, a city break for 2 nights & honestly I could really do with going as since I had my DC1 I’ve had rarely any social time away from her and so the thought of a girly weekend is exactly what I need. There’s a WhatsApp group and everyone’s buzzing about it and we’re now on the topic of room sharing… this is where my problem is..

I am unfortunately an awful snorer :( I have sinus issues and find it difficult breathing through my nose. I don’t smoke and I’m not overweight (although a little baby weight still holding on!) I sleep on my side, It’s just unfortunately in my make up. I’ve tried everything out there (apart from surgery as I just cannot afford it) and absolutely nothing has worked. Fortunately husband is a deep sleeper and never complains but I have an app and my god, I am a walrus, even worse if I’ve had a few drinks which is inevitable on this hen do!

Apart from the bride to be I don’t know any of the other ladies going that well, a few mutual friends between us and we know of each other but nobody I would class as a friend. I’ve been allocated a room with 3 ladies that I have mutual friends with and who all seem lovely and I know that I’ll have a good time but I’m now riddled with anxiety of the thought of my snoring keeping everyone awake. I’m actually mortified already thinking about it to the point where me not going is being seriously contemplated. It’s just really putting a dampener on the whole weekend. DH is telling me to not worry about it but I can't help it.

I suppose my Q is:

If you’re a snorer and have been in the same situation - do you have any tips you can share with me please? If you're not a snorer and been in a similar situation with a snorer, did it ruin the weekend for you?

Sounds mad but read about taping mouth shut. No snoring and better quality sleep

I would be furious if someone who know they snore "like a walrus" came on a shared-bedroom trip.

I wear earplugs every night, and even with them would be awake all night. Also the wet, snoring noises make me feel nauseous.

You should sleep on the couch, book separate accommodation, or not go.
Or let the group know you're a very loud snorer - there may be 3 other people on the trip who are deep sleepers and don't mind sharing with you.
