    For my hen party we did a cocktail masterclass but in the comfort of my own home.

    Such a hot barman and brought ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING including a bar, that took up less room than you'd think

    Just noticed that my posts were deleted!? :think:
    I did not advertise my business in this thread, and don't intend to. My posts in this thread even had thanks for helpfulness. :undecided:

    My advice is DO NOT book with a national hen/stag agency. As middle-men they will bump the price up to be able to take a cut. (or they will take a cut of the final amount earned by the party provider).

    I would recommend supporting small local businesses. You'll get a more personal service, probably a better price too.

    Unless of course, you're lazy. That's what you pay for with the national agencies. They will sort everything for you - hotel, taxi, food, activity.

    But as Money Savers here, we're all out to save those pennies, and booking with an agency is not the way to do it. Spend a few more minutes shopping around, book your activity, hotel and dinner reservation yourself and direct with the supplier, and you could be £££ better off per person!

    I am currently organising a hen do and need to get some T-shirts printed - does anyone have any recommendations?

    I am organising my sisters hen party this weekend and looked at having t-shirts made, cheapest I found locally worked out £15 per t-shirt so I sacked that off and made them myself: bought basic t-shirts from primark, t-shirt transfer paper from Whsmith (£9.99 for 5 A4 sheets), then booked a timeslot at local library to design and print in colour on the special paper I had bought. Libraries are under used nowadays so mine was really happy to help! Scanned an old photo of the bride to be and just added name and date in a funky word art. Cut it out carefully at home then just ironed on to the t-shirts.

    They're only a novelty gimmick which I didn't think could justify the cost of having then made properly. Mine cost around £4 each and look great for the purpose they'll be serving this weekend!

    My stag night was a Comedy Club in Liverpool (Rawhide) followed by a night on the town and to the local Lapdancing club - and we stayed in a Hotel called Base2Stay. Wasn't expensive (total costs before drinks were about £70 including travel) and we had a stunning night. As the stag I was dressed up in hawaiin drag and therefore my wallet and phone were confiscated by my best man - as such I ended up not spending a penny on booze and also didn't get any texts or make a muppet out of myself by texting anybody inappropriate!

    My brother in laws stag night was in Dublin and was one of the best nights out I've ever had - in total (including flight, hostel and drinks) I spent around £300 which isn't bad for a good night out.
    Whatever doesn't kill me, can only make me stronger.

    I've just got all my stag night t shirts from a website called clothing mojo, I tried to post the link but it wont let me :(

    When I got my stag tees through I also got sent a 20% discount code , it's no good to me and my girlfiend isn't having hen t shirts but maybe someone here can use it.

    the code is mojosaver2013

    No idea how many uses it's for.
