Hen weekend …guests can’t wear white except bride ….bit silly ?

[luluxxx]

We are going to Spain next month for 4 nights for a hen do.
We have been sent a message in the WhatsApp group that no white allowed except bride.
At first I thought she meant no white outfits for the night outfits (which is totally fine ) but she’s said no white at all.
No white vests /trainers /bikinis/cover ups /linen trousers etc etc
Now most of my vests I wear under jackets are white and my trainers are white.
Shes specified no white at all
So I’m gonna have to rethink loads of outfits as a lot of skirts for day time match with a white vest.
My linen trousers for pool days are also white etc
Do you think this is a bit ott?
I mean trainers …I only own white trainers 🙈

Perfect response!

You see you made the mistake by asking. I’d have ignored anything I thought was unreasonable eg trainers, off white trousers (mine are very) pale cream and vest tops worn under other garments.

im so pleased nobody I know is so self absorbed to organise such shenanigans

im so pleased nobody I know is so self absorbed to organise such shenanigans

Same.

And I'm also pleased no-one I know is stupid enough to pander to it.

This.

Why are you all letting her get away with being such a self-absorbed, superficial dickhead?
Say no!
Wear what you want and tell her to grow up.

This is quite idiotic to my mind. Why are people so crazy controlling? It's a hen holiday not the wedding.

I mean trainers …I only own white trainers 🙈

Just wear your wellies….very insta friendly…😂

and you agreed to me a bridesmaid to this maniac and pay for the pleasure because???

Put coloured laces in your white trainers.
Buy some very cheap white vests and a couple of fabric pens and ‘decorate’ the vests. If you are feeling nice draw flowers, if you are feeling not so nice use appropriate slogans
’my other vest is really white’
’I’m not with them’
’Bridezilla rules’
If you decide to follow the no white rule get the loudest, brightest trousers you can find for the pool.

Egads, there's more than one of these lunatics out there.

Bad enough having colour codes for weddings. Dreadful to try and enforce it for a hen weekend. Mightily relieved I am older enough that this level of main character was not a thing in my youth. That or I know very different people.

I wonder why you don't see blokes doing this on their stag dos?

They barely manage to fill a cabin bag.

😂Oh my god I have heard everything now 😂

This bridezilla has real main character syndrome.

What a load of bullshit.

It blows my mind that someone can be that self absorbed that they get to dictate what everyone else wears. Good grief 🙄

You are a mug if you don’t, at least, break the trainers rule.

What a load of indulgent, self important shite.

I would make a list of all the white items I planned to wear and send it to her asking her to purchase suitable replacements or they would be worn. She can’t expect everyone to fund her giant ego

This cannot possibly be true.

I reckon that for every single extended hen do abroad, at least half of the party think that the Hen is a twat for doing it.

Honestly this, most people who are going abroad have white trainers, i would just wear them not out of spite or anything but its just the shoes I have.

No white dresses fair enough but the rest is ridiculous.
Putting up pictures at the airport is another level.

Fuck that!!!

This is insane. Mind you I think going abroad for a hen night is insane.

"Hi Katie,

I've had a look in my wardrobe and a lot of my summer clothes are white. I'm not in a position to buy a whole new wardrobe for a weekend so I will be wearing my usual trainers, vest tops and trousers in the day."

Send it to the group WhatsApp or Messenger so everyone knows where you stand.

Yeah this is supposed to be the sort of thing people do for you at a party or something as a surprise. To arrange it yourself and in public just shows what an attention seeker she is. I’d have got the friend ick and ditched the whole thing 😂

Jeez she sounds insane. A white dress on a night out I can just about understand, but nothing white at all I wouldn’t be going along with unless she’s offering to pop you some money for new clothes that she deems suitable!

I’m saying this as a bride to be with my hen do coming up. Literally my only request was no strippers or dick decor!

She is nuts. Feign ignorance

True.

Whereas what they should be thinking is 'I'm a bigger twat for pandering to it'.
