Hen Party Question

JoeyJones

Hi, Is it normal that a letter from groom to bride is asked from groom to be read out at hen party? I have been asked but told maid of honour I apprehensive if been read out in front of loads of women. I think this is personal stuff between us. Any advice or thoughts

This wouldn't be standard practice at any hen I've been at.
I'd find it odd to be honest!

Never seen anything like that at any of the hen parties I have been to. Pretty standard to have a Mr & Mrs quiz where the groom has been asked questions prior to the hen party to compare to the brides answers.

Sounds like something different; just make sure you know the contents of this letter to be read out, cause thats the make or break. It could be a funny story or something which might make a hen night, but if its a 'rules' or something list, well then, thats easy enough to deny...

never heard of a letter from groom at the hen. It's usually a letter the day of the wedding, but that's personal and you read it yourself.
Look it, if he knows it's going to be read out up front and the bridesmaid organises this with him then I don't see why not.

As deskgirl said, it's usually questions which the groom gave answers to and then you're quizzed on those, when you get the answer right you get points or penalties when you're wrong, and those questions can be as embarrassing or as cute as the BM or groom - if he goes along with it - decide it to be.

Never heard of this before but deskgirls post seems like a bit of fun, for example after the meal etc

My sister's husband wrote her a wee note that was read out at her hen along with a few other messages from friends that couldn't attend - he wished her a good night basically but she LOVED it! We read the note out at dinner - it was lovely but not a huge deal (although it was very special for my sister)
