For 3 bridesmaids (who all know each other) and the bride.

Saturday afternoon
Meet at bride’s house late afternoon for drinks, nibbles and a few hen party style games. Get ready to go out together.

Saturday evening
Go into town together. Italian meal. Bar hop several different cocktails bars with different themes (e.g. one is like a science lab).
Go back to bride’s house and get into pyjamas for films and chocolate. Everybody sleeps over at bride’s (seperate bedrooms).

Sunday morning
Coffee and croissants at bride’s house.
Drive to afternoon tea venue, collecting daughters and grandmothers on the way.

Sunday afternoon
Afternoon tea for 15 ish guests.

What do you think? Would this weekend appeal to you?

Lovely but how will you fit dinner, drinks and then films & choc in one night?

anotherangel2 · 13/07/2018 19:23

In my experience hen party style games only really work with the very drunk not before.

TakeAChanseyOnMe · 13/07/2018 19:23

Sounds great! I agree about the bar hopping though, can you book a table somewhere and won’t have to queue? Especially if you’re going on a Saturday night and it could be pouring with rain!

ReasonableLlama · 13/07/2018 19:24

Will the bride mind having people over and hosting part of the weekend? Just thinking I had eno

ReasonableLlama · 13/07/2018 19:24

Sorry....just thinking I had eno

ReasonableLlama · 13/07/2018 19:25

Just thinking I had enough to do without preparing my house before my wedding. I assume you asked her.

Sorry about the multiple posts - fat fingers Blush

brummiesue · 13/07/2018 19:28

Films and choc sound boring tbh. Dancing in a cheesy club and a late night mcdonalds sounds a much better betGrin

Fintress · 13/07/2018 19:28

Practically identical to my friend's hen do except she reserved an alcove with comfy sofas in a cocktail bar where we spend the whole evening. It was a great day.

Cheeseislife · 13/07/2018 19:29

Why have I never been to one as lovely as this, most involve my passport and a weeks wages Confused

Tara12 · 13/07/2018 19:30

I think you should also play some mental games with good prizes

FrannySalinger · 13/07/2018 19:32

It sounds very nice. I'd happily go (you can pm me Grin)

Knittedfairies · 13/07/2018 19:33

I’m in! Sounds really good; hope you don’t mind if I pass on the film and chocolates though.

MarthasGinYard · 13/07/2018 19:34

Will the bride want house guests?

ScreamingValenta · 13/07/2018 19:35

Not sure I would feel like films and chocolate after drinking several cocktails, but otherwise it sounds nice.

CurlyhairedAssassin · 13/07/2018 19:36

Separate bedrooms at the bride’s house? Either she had hardly any guests coming or She has a mahoosive house?!

greendale17 · 13/07/2018 19:36

Sounds great. Love the pyjamas, film and chocolate

MissClarke86 · 13/07/2018 19:39

It just sounds like a lot...by Sunday morning, particularly after cocktails the night before, I’d want to go home! I’d happily go home for a shower and chill then go back out for the afternoon tea though.

VickyEadie · 13/07/2018 19:42

I'm well past it, but if I were in my 20s or 30s I think I'd have liked it.

MorningsEleven · 13/07/2018 19:46

Sounds great. Has she got room for one more?

diddl · 13/07/2018 19:46

Wouldn't be that fussed about meeting up to get ready together or a film after.

lulu12345 · 13/07/2018 19:50

Sounds right up my street and I'd be looking froward to getting into pyjamas from the minute we started the bar crawl

BitOutOfPractice · 13/07/2018 19:51

Yes please. Just PM me the details and I'll be there

SmileSweetly · 13/07/2018 19:55

Sounds very special....be prepared for the film after to be ditched as you may all prefer to go clubbing instead (I'd play it by ear)Wink

Take lots of photos and make a photo book for each of you to enjoy the memories.

StealthPolarBear · 13/07/2018 19:55

Does no one like a big night out any more?

StealthPolarBear · 13/07/2018 19:56
