Oh, and OH Aunt maked cakes (I dont want one, but never mind!)

Mondo - we are date twins, have checked your details and it isn't my OH posting (I hope!)

Superfran - my boyf's sister had that with suits, but her Mum was getting people measure in Oct for a Feb wedding. . . (they also had hen and stag do's 5 months in advance too!), but were using Moss Bros near a university around the time of the popular Valentines Ball, so pre-planning was needed. ..

What are people doing for Hen partys?

I don't want people to have to spend loads of cash, but would like to introduce the select few who are coming to th4 day, as not all will have met.

Haven't actually done anything for my wedding yet apart from booked registry office and given a deposit to the reception venue.

I am so frazzled, I can't get my head around everything I need to do and keep dropping HUGE hints to my sister that I need some help!

I have booked my hen night though and it's a bit crazy but.... I'm going to Ibiza!!! I'm going for 4 days with 3 of my friends. We used to go every year before we all had babies and mortgages so it's a bit of a reunion really. I'm soooo excited!

Nice one Sezzie.

I am thinking of a soap making party! A local interior designer does these £36 for 3 hours and in 8 weeks you have your own personal soap!

We're doing ours in the next couple of weeks, the wedding is on 10/07/10, I don't think there is really a set time when you should do it though.

i think its usually about 8-12 weeks before.
were doing it 12 weeks before as we want to give people plenty of notice to get time off work and book rooms etc
