Ever since D and I got engaged, people have been asking about the hen's night. Well, not "people" per se. More like two or three very close friends, who really want to help organise it. Which, by the way, is totally fine by me!
The question is, though, how much can you expect your guests to fork out for your hen's night? I want to invite all the ladies coming to the wedding. I think it's the courteous thing to do, and also a really nice way for people to get to know each other before the wedding. So this means there will probably be around 35 to 40 women invited.
My original plan was dinner somewhere nice, followed by drinks. I figured people could stay for dinner and leave afterwards if they needed to. The stayers would be there for the long haul, but if people had other commitments (or, for instance, are my grandmother) they could leave. But then (!) I heard about The Artful Hen, a life drawing session specifically for hen's nights. I think it's a great idea (and so do my Chief Organisers) but at $40 per person, it's on the pricey side if you then go out for dinner and drinks. I definitely don't want to make people feel uncomfortable about spending the money, but I do think it would be a fun night.
What do you think? Should I just do the life drawing, and leave it up to the individuals to see if they want to do dinner afterwards? Am I worrying about nothing? Tell me how you solved your hen's night dilemmas. I am all ears!
