Booked sisters hen do! Chuffed to bits!!

:j
Hey all!

I had asked for ideas for my sisters hen do.... really didnt want a mega expensive one for people but I have finally booked it!

Have a huge, beautiful log cabin in sussex for 3 nights (sleeps all 14 of us confortably!) is right on the beach and has balconies the whole way round.. that works out at £50pp

so plan is Friday night, drive down after work on Friday where we I will get an M&S / Costco buffet so everyone can get to know each other, saturday up and to the beach, mooch around, pub lunch then back for pizza, drinks and games then onto a club.... free guestlist and £1.50 drinks before 11!

Then Sunday, big breaky, then an afternoon tea at a nearby hotel £10 pp but will try an negotiate a bit off for such a big booking (MS after all :p ) and the in the evening I will do a big dinner of some description and we can have a pj, face pack and girly film night!

I cant wait! :T

    That sounds great Cord. :)
  • That sounds great and at only 50 quid per person it's a real bargain! Hope you have lots of fun :)

    ah thanks! Am so excited! Its not til next Oct but it gives people loads of notice so can only be a good thing! :-) xxx
  • Hiya. Several years ago for my Sisters Hen Do we did something similar. She had booked a lovely cottage in Bath for the weekend, so we drove down Friday lunchtime and did the M&S buffet that evening. When we got there she had hired a "butler in the buff" who came and served us the food & drinks and was at our "beck & call" for the evening. The guy we had was really nice (in both looks) and personality and made the evening really fun, hosting our silly hen party games etc. Maybe you could look into this as a little extra surprise for your Sister? x

    That sounds fab Cord! Do you mind telling me how you found the cottage because that's exactly the sort of thing I am after doing?

    I second that question! :D I love the idea of my friends and me taking over a house/cabin and being able to do our own thing - it'd be my ideal hen!
