Not too close as you don't want to be suffering close to the wedding but certainly in the last few months.

suppose it depends what your doing and how much it will cost if weekend abroad or spa weekend which could cost a bit then would maybe do 3 months before but if a night in ur local town could be done week or two before

Just had mine this weekend, and not getting married til February, but found it really difficult with Christmas landing around 6 weekend before the wedding to fit in at a different time!

I had one in may for a whole weekend away ( a friend kindly let us stay for free ) & I night in July .... Before the wedding in September .....
Reason why I was glad to do it so far beforehand was I making all the decorations myself & closer to the wedding I was becoming more exhausted = meant I could fully enjoy the hen party with lots of energy !!
