I went on a hen do a few weeks ago to Spain. The only people who could attend were the bride, mother of bride, mother of groom, myself and one other woman. So not even any of the bridesmaids/sister/best friend etc.
The other woman was miffed (but didn't make this known to the bride) as she received her invite on the hen do which was only to the evening. She thought that seeing as she was one of the few who made an effort to attend the hen do abroad, it was a bit off to invite her only to the evening.
I assume bride wanted to keep numbers down as they are friends and get on well from what I saw on holiday.
Who is BU?

Sorry let me clarify. Hen do I Spain. Wedding on uk. Received our invitations to the wedding on the hen do which friend was only invited to the evenings. She was then annoyed as she was one of the very few people who had taken the time and expense to go abroad for hen dom Sorry!

PS suspect it's how you view your hen do... I would only want close pals and [email protected] hen ... ie those who would be invited to the wedding...
Obviously this bride viewed it as a free for all....

And ffs the only other invite she had to give out was yours surely
Unless she has B listed her own mum and mil to be.
I would have been so upset by that being handed to me there. After Id probably paid a few hundred quid and made her very sparse hen do slightly more exciting

The bride was incredibly crass and ride! I am cringing for her!
She gave everyone their invites on the hen do?! What was it, a bit like deal or no deal, let's see what you've one?!
I'm no debretts etiquette expert here, but by golly that's a new manners low.
