    Ok so I've got a year until my hen do but alot of my friends have been asking about it. I have said I would get it organised nice and early because a few of my friends are single parents and so money is tight and they wanted plenty of time to save up so we could have a fantastic time. I sent the list of people to invite to my MOH 3 months ago and then messaged them all with her details so that when she contacted them on the book of face then they'd know who she was and accept the friend request. So thats 3 months and still shes done nothing but ask me what I want and then tell me to get the prices. So yesterday I sent out a Book of face event invite listing details for 3 options for the hen do. An expensive trip abroad, a middle priced adventure weekend and a cheap as chips city break with the option to add extras. I stupidly thought that as she had done nothing and I had had to research, price, sort travel options, then I should be able to send out the invite and get numbers etc. How wrong was i?!?!?!?! VERY WRONG!!! Apparantly I've made her look a right idiot! She should've sent the invites out, everyone should be contacting her about it not me, Apparantly I've made her look completely incapable of doing anything! She doesn't want to do any of the cheaper things and wants the expensive trip abroad, even though she knows that most of my friends wouldn't be able to afford it, she just says they'd afford it if they wanted to!

    Well maybe if she got her act together you wouldn't of needed to do it?
    Sorry to sound harsh, but your hen do is very important, and as you said, you want to give people as enough time as ever. If she's supposed to be doing the planning, she was supposed to come up with the three options and send them out. Clearly she didn't use her head so you used yours. well done. I would of done the same.
    And she needs to understand not everyone can afford an expensive trip abroad, what about the single mums, who's going to look after the kids? Childcare is expensive!! She's being rather selfish there. Its your Hen Do, not reason for her to go abroad!
    You did right. Fair Play Lovie.

    the first words that spring to mind are...

    1. spoilt brat (not caring at all what anyone else wants, only that she herself wants the expensive trip, stating that people could afford it if they really wanted to, well i'm sorry but she would fall in line if she really cared what you want!)
    2. totally incapable of sorting a hen do! (once again, she would fall in line if she cared! why has it taken her 3 months, why are yu doing the running around? why did she agree to be MOH if she didnt want the responsibility? why is she MOH?)

    My MOH is like that. I asked her to give me ideas for a hen do months ago and she's come up with nothing. I spoke to her yesterday of just having a few drinks the night before (not get drunk, I said!) and maybe a film afterwards and she didn't seem interested. It is heartbreaking and annoying when they say they'll help you out, especially with the hen do, and they just flop. I suggest just carrying on the way you are, if she's annoyed then that's her own fault. She's made herself look incompetent.

    That is really unfair; she can't expect for things to go how she wants and be in charge of sending out invites when she hasn't done anything for it...Plus for her to say they'd afford the expensive trip if they can afford it is just plan mean as sometimes it might just not be possible to get money...

    Thanks girls x its really bothered me today, i just needed a good rant to get it off my chest but was a bit worried that i was in the wrong. I just dont feel like i'd have a good time if my friends were all worried about spending too much or if they weren't there at all. I wasn't even going to have a hen night. I'd have been quite happy with a few drinks with my best friend but was persuaded to have one by moh. Moh is my sister by the way and this is the only thing she has to do. I feel upset with her fof not having any understanding of other peoples lives. Shes a single parent herself but is pretty much spoiled by our family and yes i help out alot too so its probably partly my own fault shes used to getting what she wants. I think im going to carry on organising it by myself and risk a major fallout because its meant to be about me and what i want and what i want is all my friends together having a fab time x
