    My Hen Do plans are coming together nicely and getting booked up! My CBM has been amazing with the organising too!

    In March I will be having my UK Hen where there will around 20 of us taking part in Cocktail Making (and cocktail drinking!!), Food and VIP area for the rest of the night in one the local bars. Managed to get this for £15 a person which I didn't think was bad at all!!

    In April (Easter weekend the Friday - Monday) there are 12 of us going to Portugal (Albufeira). For Easter weekend and during a School Holiday I don't think the prices myself and CBM found were too bad. Flights were £180pp, All Inclusive Accommodation £86pp and Transfers (Private Mini Bus) was £8pp. All came under the £300 budget that everyone had.

    May sound a lot to some but as a group of friends we have NEVER had a girls holiday before and we were (before I got engaged) planning to have a girls holiday anyway so we have combined the 2 together so having our first girls holiday for My Hen Do. I'm sure it could have been cheaper but out of the 12 of us, 4 of us work in a school so it had to be a School Holiday.

    We will also be having a Fancy Dress Night. All the girls coming wrote down an idea and I "picked out the hat" for the theme. We are all going to be cheerleaders :) with the girls in one colour and myself in purple and white :)

    CANNOT WAIT!!! :)

    That all sounds awesome! Hope it all goes well.
    I'm not allowed to know the details of mine - just the dates and that we're hiring cottages in Cornwall. Oh and one of my BMs let slip that she's planned a game for us all to play that involves us doing burpees.

    These are the only details I am allowed to know lol!
    The girls put their ideas on paper during my birthday night out which was very sneaky of them haha!! I only found out the next week when my CBM asked me to go over to hers for "something" !

    My CBM has also said that there are plans in place and that when I have got my fancy dress outfit I need to give it to her as she has something to do to it!?

    Ooohhh I wonder what they're going to do to your costume...
    Very tempted to copy and paste your original post into an email to my girls for a little inspiration... I really hate doing burpees!

    I have no idea. :s
    Not going to lie that the thought of doing burpees on my Hen doesn't sound fun to me lol. Although my CBM is a Fitness Instructor and keeps threatening about water aerobics in the pool after a night out each morning! That could be kinda fun/funny though depending on the state of us !

    Thanks ladies!

    I have never been to Albuferia. I have been to Villamora with H2b for a relaxing holiday and the Portuguese seem very nice people! Obviously this will be a very different holiday lol!
