Hen Weekends

[ellie356]

Has anyone got a good idea for a hen weekend........ they have all become so samey and my daughter would love to do something a bit different not the usual clubbing and dressing up the bride to be?

Europe is pretty cheap nowadays, my mate had hers in Milan and we had a great and very cheap girly weekend. Our flights were only about �60.00 and hotel for 3 nights was about �50.00 each as we shared large 2 rooms.

It's not really the done thing for girls to go out like it is here there, many of the bars are geared to guys but there are some great clubs and bars round the Corso Como.

Not a place you dress up hen night style but we had a fab weekend and got lots of lovely attention from the italian men...swooon!

There's the lovely Milan to explore by day and we had a day in Lake Como which was just gorgeous and very cheap to get to, only about an hour by train.

Food and coffee are amazing and pretty cheap. Locals are very friendly and accomodating, we had some guys working in another hotel invite us in, give us the lowdown on where to go out and such and even call us taxis the first night to make sure we were safe and we got discounted entry and a free drink in the club to be in on a night out.

My daughter had 2 weekends. One for us oldies at a health spa, (some younger friends came too) it was an overnight stay and quite reasonable. She did also have a clubbing night for her friends but minus the 2 mums ,aunts etc.

Health spas popular with the "youngies" too. We have one this yar and everyone is looking forward to it. Look for packages they save you a lot.

Don't whatever you do even contemplate going to the Isle of Wight as I did on a hen weekend last August. The locals seem to hate tourists and human beings in general! I have never been to such an unfriendly place in all my life - wouldn't go back if you paid me!

Dublin is a great place for hen nights and stag nights

I hate all the tackiness of the usual Hen and Stag nights - my hen weekend will be spent in Disneyland Paris (and a bit of shopping in Paris) behaving like big kids rather than getting off my face and dressing like a tw*t. If one of my mates tried to dress me in L plates with inflatable man-bits she would no longer be invited to the wedding!

I also hate the Isle of Wight - there is nothing to do and you could die of boredom
