Given the hen cost isn’t just the house in the country or the gig tickets or the restaurant booking or the chipping in for a hen present, it’s easy to see how costs quickly shoot up.

The average spend of £507 breaks down into seven areas, with travel proving the most expensive (taking a £109 chunk) and alcohol costing us about £75 each.

£109 travel
£90 accommodation
£75 alcohol
£63 activities
£63 pre-wedding gifts
£57 food
£50 clothes

Funnily enough, four in five adults surveyed went on to say stag and hen dos are becoming too expensive and nearly half (46%) said they have felt pressured into attending a party that they couldn’t afford.

Good job we love ‘em, eh?
