I've never heard of it, tbh.

Get flowers and champagne delivered to her room for her arrival.

Come back from the stag alive and she'll be doing well

I've never heard of it personally, but if you want to, something small would be a nice gesture.

Theres already a lot of gift giving built in to the whole wedding process. I know a lot of brides/grooms give each other something the morning of the wedding (via the respective best man/bridesmaid) so maybe it would be better to just focus on getting her something really nice then?

That said, arranging for a bottle of bubbles never goes down badly

Bottle of bubbly! Nice gesture but not over the top!

I'm a bridesmaid for my cousin who had her hen recently. I brought a letter from her fiancé, a drawing from their child and little notes from her parents to give her when we were away.

I have seen flowers and champagne given by grooms to brides at hens.
If she's ever been to a hen, she probably has too, so will expect something.
I think the bridesmaid usually gives a nudge.

Wow.

If the bride to be has a genuine expectation to receive a gift from the groom on her hen then that's me massively out of touch.

Ive seen the oohs and aahs reaction when champagne is brought to a table.
I've seen a bride to be ruin her own hen by being disappointed over a silly expectation.

I've been to hens, and I've been bridesmaid/chief bridesmaid a few times and have never seen it!

It all depends on what sort of partner you are, OP. Me and my husband aren't the gift giving type, so if a bottle of champagne had been produced to me "from" him at my hen, I would have known without question he didn't think of it. So what good is a gift if it's not natural from the person who is giving it? Is it just for show, so that's everyone else knows that the groom (with a nudge from the bridesmaids) is a really thoughtful guy?

I'd rather a sincere something between the two of us, rather than an insincere something for the benefit of everyone else. Brides who are genuinely disappointed because their groom didn't deliver something on their hen night? Seriously? You either know the man you're marrying and are happy with who he is, or you hope to change him..... And become more and more disappointed when your efforts fail!

If you're a natural gift giver, do it. The fact that you even thought about makes me believe you are! It wouldn't have even entered my fella's (or my) head.

I've certainly never heard of it anyway. My beloved didn't get me anything for my hen, nor would it occur to me to prompt anyone else's OH.

But nobody will complain about a bottle of champagne, so I think that's a good gift if you're the kind of person to do something like that naturally, as BBOC said.

I could not imagine a bottle of bubbly given to the groom on his stags???
It would be so strange.

I was at a hen recently and the groom had given money to buy a round of drinks for all the girls there.

Weddings really do bring out the utter mental side of people, that's for sure. All I want from my groom to be at my hen is the odd text to make sure everyone is ok back home. I've never known or seen anyone get a present at the hen and if I ever became that person... Well shoot me!

I think it's a bit "grabby", and if I thought my bridesmaid had approached my husband-to-be with her hand out looking for something, a bottle of champagne or whatever, I'd be a bit pissed off with her. Then again, I can't imagine any of my bridesmaids ever doing that!..... In fact, they didn't!!

Been to a few hens and never seen anything given by the groom other than answers to a few quiz questions.
My hubby didn't send me anything, it was MY hen. He had no part in it other than the usual questions. I'd no part of his stag, it seems to make sense to me.
He's a thoughtful person and before he proposed and another time on my birthday sent beautiful red roses and chocs to my place of work. It was really cute and unexpected... much prefer that to doing that cos he's "expected" to for some occasion.
