On every thread about hen dos the vast majority of posters say how they hate 'traditiinal' hen dos. I realise mn isn't necessarily representative if el, but just wondering how so few mners can like what seems to be the norm.is anyone willing to say they enjoy avoid "l plates" hen do?

Mine was 20 years ago. Curry, drinks, club. No silly paraphernalia. No cackling women trying to get me to lick squirty cream off some horrible bloke's nob. No "last hurrah" type behaviour.

I haven't drunk a jagerbomb for truly ages. Think I'm going to have to man up before my next hen do. Not mine. I'm not a serial marriager.

StealthOfficialCrispTester · 22/04/2013 13:10

right well I am having another hen do.

DSis did Madonna-theme plus L plates, about 14 years ago, drunken dares etc. It was a laugh.
Mine was much more sedate, ten years later: lovely affordable restaurant for everybody, then onto a couple of bars. We're all in the same town so could just got home when they wanted.
No dares, no strippers no wearing strange men's pants.

Oh... but there is a photo somewhere of me wearing a Barca thong over my trousres! It was fresh out of the box, so to speak! Oh dear! And we ended up in a heavy metal bar called Scum surrounded by nothing but gentlemen Grin

CunningAtBothEnds · 22/04/2013 13:23

I had many jaegerbombs, and sambuccas. I was a hot mess!

Best hen night I ever went to (apart from my own), was my SILs. we al stayed in a cottage in the middle of nowhere, ate junk food, drank too much and chatted/ watched DVDs. Only thing that ruined it was that it was stretched out over a whole weekend and we had to do expensive/boring things during the day, which I could have done without.

I wasn't even going to have a hen party but my 2 best mates dragged me out for a meal. It was nice because it was simple, cheap and we all knew each other so no forced fun.

StepAwayFromTheEcclesCakes · 22/04/2013 13:28

I'll bring the willy shaped straws Grin

StealthOfficialCrispTester · 22/04/2013 13:30

no need Step I already have some
(I do, really, and I have no idea why!)
(I also have no idea where they are, really should find them before the kids/Mil do)

OP posts:
StealthOfficialCrispTester · 22/04/2013 13:32

actually not sure why I said that. The kids would just want them in their drinks at inappropriate times forever more. MIL would find it hilarious and insist on having one in her tea :o
(she was at my hen night)

Grin ah well the fluffy handcuffs then?

StealthOfficialCrispTester · 22/04/2013 13:40

Yes, that would be lovely. Can mine be ballerina pink and glittery please. All the other hens' are to be different shades of pink (no two the same) so we can line up in colour order for the photo. Only mine are to have glitter.

they are my idea of hell. traditionally where i'm from your family and friends dress you up to look like an idiot, drag you round the different pubs banging pots and pans and then take you round each pub to kiss all the drunk male punters who pay for the privilege. No thanks, a small civilised meal was more my choice.

I'll come if I can have a personalised t-shirt. I once saw a group of women at Heathrow in matching glittery personalised t-shirts. One of them was apparently called 'Fat Stef', according to her attire.

StealthOfficialCrispTester · 22/04/2013 13:57

you can, but as this is a virtual hen do, it's MN names only

mine was a visit to a couple of pubs and then a slap up curry. With a group of friends of both genders. No spas (eeww...) no L-plates, no bloody silly childish games, no shrieking. Himself did something similar in different pubs and then we all met up at the end of the evening.

still in touch with some of them, 20+ years and a lot of moving around on.

Jins · 22/04/2013 14:03

I'll sit with TSC planning our escape. I'll do a lot of forced jollity at the beginning so everyone remembers I was there though

squoosh · 22/04/2013 14:03

It's the always the ones with a face like a smacked arse who end up doing unmentionable things with the stripper underneath the table.

BegoniaBampot · 22/04/2013 14:08

actually forgot one hen night where we all dressed as school girls and went for a meal and a boogey. I was fun i'll admit (shit, having to backtrack slightly).

StealthOfficialCrispTester · 22/04/2013 14:11

Course you can tsc. A couple if cringeworthily named cocktails later you'll be dancing on the tables and offering to flash your boobs for a fiver.
