Internet Debates Whether Paying For Hen Parties Has Gotten Out Of Hand

Spread the love

Getting married is exciting. But everything leading up to it? Not so much.

There’s a mountain of things to organize, budgets to juggle, and guests to keep happy. It’s overwhelming, nerve-wracking, and time-consuming, all for a day you (hopefully) only do once.

And for brides, one major pre-wedding pressure point is the hen do. How will they celebrate with their closest friends? How much fun is too much fun? Because let’s be honest, when the cost goes up, friendships can get tested.

That’s exactly why Kirsty, founder of Main Characters—a platform designed to help the modern maid of honour plan a hen do without the headache—turned to TikTok to ask: what’s a reasonable amount to expect people to spend?

Let’s just say… the internet had opinions. Read on to see what sparked the debate and where people draw the line.
