How many hen dos have you been on this year, and how much do you think you’ve spent? If women are getting married less, why are hen dos getting more and more expensive? In the UK, women spend an average of £652 on a single hen do, and over £1,000 if it’s abroad. What’s driving this change? Is it Instagram, scattered friendship groups, or do we still treat marriage as the most important milestone in a woman’s life? In this episode, I’ll take you through the hen do’s surprising origins in factories and pubs, how your freedom to get wasted in a bar is a right that feminists fought for before you, where the plastic penis straws came from, and why we feel so much social pressure to fork out for a friend’s hen.
