Is anyone paying for their full hen do? (Like for everyone who's coming) Or is everyone who's coming paying for themselves? Not sure how this works!

My understanding is they pay for themselves, and often split the bill to pay for the hen too

Hi I believe everyone pays a little extra to pay for the bride :)

Everyone pays for their own and a little extra to pay for the bride. And if you are getting a bus add in a little extra for a tip for the driver

I paid for myself and they paid for themselves and then I paid 100 pounds for a private pub crawl for us . But my fiancé didn't pay for a single thing for his stag do . Depends on money really my hen do costs more than his stag do per person so his best man paid for him . Where as I didn't want my lovely ladies to fork out more for me and I thought some of my friends and family would like the pub crawl as some of them arnt as young as me would rather do pubs than clubs so I picked stuff that everyone can enjoy

Pay for yourself only. You hsve enough expense with the wedding.
No one expects you to pay for them

I didn’t pay for anything! Traditionally the bridesmaids/MOH should ensure that the bride’s hen do is paid for by everyone going on the hen do. The bride shouldn’t pay anything.
I personally think this is fine unless the bride wants something expensive like a holiday abroad or something! 🙂

I'm halfway through my surprise joint hen and stag weekend. They're all (bridesmaid, MOH, best man, groomsmen etc) paying for themselves and us for the whole weekend. Even when we try to pay they won't let us! Also we hve no idea what's happening so suppose we couldn't exactly budget or control what they wanted to pay! X

Everyone pays for themselves. I do think the Hens should cover most of the brides costs (whether it's just cabs and booking the hen weekend or drinks etc)

When I organised my best mates we paid individually and then split her share between three bridesmaids

The hens pay for themselves and for you! Unless everyone's on a tight budget! The bride is meant to be treated!

We all paid for ourselves, but then I got my money back on the night. I didn't know I was but everyone paid a bit extra so mine was paid for. x

Went to Liverpool on my daughters hen do. We all paid ourselves. She organised it through www.lastnightoffreedom.co.uk
And you can pay for it a bit at a time. It was very well arranged, afternoon tea with a naked butler - he did wear an apron. Cocktail class and dinner. And hotel.

I'm not paying for any of it! I'm very lucky to have a group of very generous bridesmaids who simply won't let me! But I also have no idea what we will be doing - it's a surprise, which I've left in the hands of my girls!

My girls paid for themselves and I paid for me, it's expensive enough to for everyone I don't see why they should pay for the bride as well and I wouldn't have let my girls, they spent a fortune on decorations/ drinks/ etc etc anyway x
