Depends on the other girls being invited circumstances e.g, childcare and money. Iv having to plan carefully as some friends are very limited budget and childcare is an issue

My wedding was August and I had my hen do start of July. We did Friday-Sunday. I’m a teacher so looked at half terms but everywhere’s more expensive

I had mine 2 months before on my birthday so I could have one big night out as I've got 2 kids and most my friends have kids too so was easier like this for me. Wouldn't have it too close but if it hadn't been for my birthday I'd have done it month before

Depends what you want to do really. Probably having mine the week before as I'm going to the races for mine and I get married Aug 2018 to. But so do 2 of my friends so it's scheduling everything in.

I'm having mine the weekend before. Just a nice quiet meal with my bridesmaids and my replacement mum. (she's an old friend of my mother, who sadly died 20yrs ago.)

We are having ours next month even though our wedding isnt until March. Purely for the reason that Xmas is a busy time and January is a long month when no one has any money so we thought it best to do it before Xmas. It's up to you...whatever is best/easiest for you and your hens!

I’m getting married in July. Mine is in March. I’m going away for the weekend. Didn’t want it to be too close so I can get excited about it then the wedding without them being on top of each other.
