My best friend is getting married in 2017. She is having a big, beautiful wedding in a hotel in another country, big dress, big ring etc (relevant). I am MOH and am organising her hen do. It will probably be over a weekend as I feel that is what she would like, although I am trying to keep costs down and give people the option of 'opting in' to activities.
I am getting married in November. Cheap church and church hall, no engagement ring, no big dress - we are having 80 people which is still more fuss than I would like. My best friend and all of our friends say that I have to have a hen do - I'm not massively bothered, but want to insist it is just for one evening, at our local pub, with no extra activities or overnight accommodation and definitely none of those bloody sashes. They are trying to insist we have to have a day activity.
AIBU? Am I a misery?
