    Hi ladies, bet youre sick of my posts today. LOL.

    Im having a hen do, with people coming on it who I dont see regularaly. Some people are staying over most are not.
    My question is, I have Hen Bags, like goodie bags but for grown ups.... hey contain a mini bottle of wine, a bottle of water, mints, face masks, hot chocolate, chocolate bar, their hen do 'sailor hats' and lip balm. Ive decorated the draw string bags with their intitials and an achor icon, the bags are nude coloured and arent really that heavy...... would you make an effort to drop off these bags indivdually for people before the hen do.... or give them out on the day?

    Our activity is a life drawing class, then going for a meal then probably a few drinks somewhere before people who heading back home leave for the train. In my opinion they wont be carrying them around all night, they can throw them on their shoulders like any bag on a night out and they are full of prizes..... however people say I should give them out before so theyre not carrying them round all night. What do u think?

    I would say start of night and if people then want to carry them or try and stuff everything into their handbag they will- as you're not going clubbing, don't see it as an issue- only an issue if you don't pre book a seating area in the bars and have to hold them all night- I would find that annoying X

    Lovely idea xx

    No, give them out at the start of the night, otherwise they lose their surprise!

    Seems a little pointless to me if you don't give it to them on the day. I would just do it at the beginning and then they can drink the water and wine etc so will be much lighter :)

    I was thinking that Emily... But then i thought not many places who will let you drink something brpught in from outside the premises.

    If you gave them out before people might forget to bring their sailor hat so best to do it at the stsrt of the night. X
