Do I tell the Airbnb host?

I’m organising a hen party and the brief for accommodation was difficult because there’s quite a few of us. I finally found a property and thought I had read through the description carefully and it didn’t say anything about no hen parties. So I’ve booked it and just happened to notice that it actually does say no hen or stag parties.
I don’t want to be dishonest to the host but I don’t want to lose this house, it will be impossible to find another one.
We’re a group of all ages including grandparents and children. Not your typical hen party and it won’t be anything near wild, I know we will treat the property with respect. AIBU not to say anything?

How old are the oldest and the youngest and are they all female? We aren't in possession of all the relevant information to decide if your group is a hen party or not.

It's a family get together to celebrate forthcoming marriage, rather than hen do, isn't it?

Well, you could certainly spin it that way, but I really think you need to speak to the host and give them the choice.

This is their business/livelihood and it would just be a really shit thing to not communicate the nature of your gathering voraciously.

I personally think folk are taking this too far, by no stag and hen parties I think they mean wild parties, you have children and grandparents, it could easily be a birthday event. If it makes you feel better then just explain that and the sort of hen you are having I'm sure will be absolutely sound x

To be fair I missed no pets on an air b and b I booked.

Filter didn't work and it wasnt in the main info. It was at the end of some random list on a separate page.

Luckily we didn't have a dog but a relative visiting us did. We were able to adapt and go to her place instead.

Id go with the family get together line, Ive used it for 21sts and 30ths as ours are more a family based party than your regular pile of 21 yr olds getting hammered and wrecking the venue, and its always been fine.

We'd need to know how many young women in the group compared to grandparents and children to be able to judge.

I’m a host. Don’t say anything, just tidy up after, don’t break things and DO NOT leave confetti or glitter and sellotape everywhere.
No problem

Call it a pre wedding family celebration!
