My Maid of honour is organising my hen, someone has let slip the plans one...

My Maid of honour is organising my hen, someone has let slip the plans one of the things I just can't do physically for reasons,the rest of the plans sound good but it's just not me...it's more things that they want to do I had been asked what I wanted to do and I thought spa day I don't drink so a night getting drunk doesn't interest me I just want a nice relaxing time with my girls before the excitement and madness of the wedding day...am I just being horrible thinking this? I've also seen the invites and there are people on there that I haven't even invited to the wedding as they are more their friend than mine( I know them enough to have a conversation when they have joined us at friends birthdays etc)

You should chose the guestlist 100%. If you've got issues with it say it sooner rather than later. If you can't bring yourself to do it then put on a smile anyway

Hi I don't think I will be having a hen do as my only bridesmaid will only 18 three months before the wedding :)

I'm not having a hen do as I couldn't be bothered with the politics and most people want to go out drinking and it isn't my thing either.

Not having a wild hen do, having closest girls going with me to a gig I really want to go to a couple of weeks before the wedding. Can't believe how rude they have been to invite people who aren't going to the wedding. It's not an excuse for them to have a party of their own!!!

I think that you MOH is not keeping in mind that is YOUR wedding and that the whole point of a hen do is for the bride to have fun/relax/enjoy with the company of her friends. I think you should have a chat with her I'm sure she won't be offended but it'll be a good wake up call for her. I hope this helps!

Definitely give a list to your MOH of who you want there, Its your day, not hers; a good friend will understand.
