So they are now happy to go with something that costs a little more but they get a little less, mad stuff altogether.

Still, at least the self righteous brigade have to eat a slice of humble pie as it's clear it wasn't the idea/cost that was the issue in the first place.

Makes no sense to me either, but I'm not questioning it at this stage, genuinely just glad they bloody chose something!

I had known myself that cost wasn't the issue, to be honest I don't know what was...I guess I'll never know!!

Hi OP! Great to hear things are moving - I'm 25, getting married in France in July and hen is May Bank Holiday. My BM's are first timers and two of them have never been on a hen before! So things were a little bit late to kick off but they have sent out a save the date with the location and price (all top secret from me). I found it really hard to not know what was going on - they're really not telling me anything. But I do think they're on top of it now.

Has anyone else had this level of secrecy? Not that I don't trust them to do a good job I just thought it would be fun to help plan!

Oh wow..France, what part? (sorry to get off topic) You're so lucky to have two great bms! I would totally trust them, part of the fun I hoped to get from mine was the not knowing, sit back, relax, and enjoy. Makes it even more exiting when the time comes!

Just outside Bordeaux! I work in event management and PR and am always the group organiser so it pains me to not know anything! V lucky with the girls, but I would say if they had done it before they might have kicked it off earlier. At this stage they don't have deposits from anyone - is that grand or am I totally paro? Thought it would be good to start collecting earlier to give people more time...

Just an update, suggested a meal out followed by a night in one of the houses or even one of those cottages, just to see and was met with 'that's not a real hen party', so I told them to come up with what they wanted as there was no pleasing them...long story short, we're going to the osprey hotel for a mini spa treatment, b & b and a meal for 125pp, tbh I'm just happy they chose something!

Great to hear that something is organised. I hope you enjoy it! It is a night for you remember!
It sounds lovely and relaxing.
