Did you invite your mother/mother in law to your hen do?

I suppose it depends on how close you are to your mother and mother in law to be but did you invite them to your hen do? Also did you invite older relatives too, sis in laws, cousins of the groom?

I couldn’t think of anything worse than inviting my mother or nana (who I’m very close too) on my hen do. My nana is 78 and really can’t imagine her sipping her tea from a dick straw at this point in her life. I would however invite an older aunty and a friend’s mother who is in her 60s and one in her 70s. I see them as friends not a friend’s parent are probably the ones that would make the most fun 😂

Is it common to invite your mother in law? Is it rude not too?

I’ve been on a few hen dos. All very different, one was very tacky, one was classy and the others were pretty low key. Some also had mothers and mother in laws invited and others didn’t due to family dynamics or death. Tbf the mother/mother in laws always went home early although during the tacky hen do the mother in law started a drunken fight with the brides cousin and all hell broke loose.

Interested to hear what people did for theirs and was there any drama? Did you regret it or are you glad everyone was there?
