Research from Aviva has showed that people attending someone else’s stag or hen do typically face paying £779 in the UK or £1,208 if they go abroad – a staggering sum that many of us go along with purely to avoid looking like a crap friend or, god forbid, skint.
So many of us go along with staggeringly priced hen and stag dos that we simply can’t afford, purely to avoid looking like a crap friend or, god forbid, skint.
I’m currently in a WhatsApp group called “Hen Hen Hen” and, despite the panic-inducing name, its contents are almost completely sane.
A group of us are organising a weekend away ahead of our best friend’s wedding, crucially in the country we all live in, which will not cost a bomb and to which we will bring home-made fun, the details of which I cannot disclose here for fear of spoiling the surprise for the bride-to-be.
When did stag and hen dos become the worst thing about having friends?
