My maid of honour tried to organise a hen night to the grease singalong in wakefield and our of all the people that were invited only the mums & my moh could come.

I felt really disheartened and said to MOH thatr we should scrap it and do something closer to home.

My h2b then suggested a joint 'Hag' do, i was aprehensive as i didnt want to ask around only to be let down again but thought if i didnt as i dont know. I txt everyone and only 3 people replied and not one can come, the rest havent replied.

I just want to forget the whole thing now. I dont think my self esteem has ever been so low, im so embarassed that noone wants to come on my hen night. It should have been something i was looking forward to, not something that makes me feel crap.

Last night i said to H2B that im just going to go for a spa day with my mum, not so much as a hen do but a day out but he thinks its sad that id just be going with my mum but i just cant face being let down again.

Sorry for the rant, i just needed to get it off my chest.

i know exactly how you feel hun, my MOH booked a weekend away for every and its only costing £50pp for 2 nights stay so everyone was happy with the price and said they were very excited...now its come to actually paying for it no one can be bothered apart from family members and bridesmaids!! so looks like im just having a family hen do!! but at the end of the day there the people that can be bothered so i know were all going to have a fun time and enjoy ourselves! :)
I think a spa day is fab for you, a nice time to relax with someone special!
enjoy yourself whatever you choose to do and dont let people put you down....its there lose at the end of it!! xx

I am sorry to hear that people have let you down hun, but I wouldn't take it personally i'm sure most people have unavoidable reasons of why they can't make it, even though I know that doesn't make it any easier for you. I think it will be lovely to have the spa day with the closest people to you, have the proper pamper session that you deserve.

Don't want to sound horrible but I'm so glad I'm not alone on this one, I'm having the exact same thing problem as I posted earlier
so I'm now having a re-think about where to go.
My mam said that only your true friends and family turn out for you and tbh I think she's right. Most of the ppl I asked said they were too skint yet everytime I go on facebook they've been out at the wknd boozing so if they stayed in for 1wk I'm sure they'd be able to afford it. Bloody hell it's hard times for a bride as well as it's us paying loads of money out on the wedding so at least friends could do is make an effort for 1 night.
Sorry for the rant

I have finally found my soulmate
On 1st Sept 2012 I will become Mrs Curry

Aww I think a Spa Day sounds lovely, like the girls have said above it will be a really nice way to pamper yourself and relax.
I really sympathize with you about your friends not getting involved. It's the night when you they should. Maybe you could change the date to the end of the month when people don't have any reason to make excuses?
I hope you can get it sorted, and I think Janie is right, if they don't want to come and make the effort maybe you should have a word.
You deserve a good send off whether its in a Spa chilling or doing something else! :)

i know its disappointing not have a traditional hen night with all your friends but a spa day with you mum would make a lovely special day i would love to be able to do that with my mum (sadly she died when i was 11 so its not an option) but i will be doing a sap day with my sisters and nieces instead of a night on the town. could you maid of honour not coming to what about other female members of your family. just think how relaxed and pampered you will feel at the end instead of the headache and crap feeling from a night out x
