We’re eloping anyway so the wedding itself isn’t an issue. I’d love a hen do but I only have two ‘real’ friends, both live too far away and then I have a several more people that I vaguely know / have lost touch with, I would say we’re loosely friends but not close enough to invite to something like that especially where they won’t know anyone else but me. Minor thing in the grand scheme of things but I feel a bit deflated, hopefully you only marry once so it would be nice to have a special build up
AIBU?
Embarrassed I don’t have enough friends to have a hen do

Not minor in my opinion. My friends mean the world to me.
Why have you not developed friendships?

I do have friends, 2 very close (but live far away and have busy lives) and another three or four, all of whom don’t know one another. I know them individually well enough to go out for lunch and so on but I don’t have an established group and I feel it would be awkward bringing different characters together.

It is minor. Op will have a perfectly fine time with her two close friends.
Your post is both smug and nasty.

It’s relevant.
advice is different depending on whether a reason can be identified ie acutely shy? Doesn’t actually enjoy socialising? Fiancé doesn’t allow her out!!
