The hens each record a story and a bit of advice. She gets a book of them before the wedding.
Gathering is free. You won't need a card.
We are enabling over 1 million people to say it. Share the stories, love and gratitude. Your voice is what makes the world's greatest gift.
Put in the bride's name and post the link in the hen group chat.
Friends and family can capture a memory by voice, video, writing or photos, wherever they are in the world. It's easy on any phone and nobody needs an account!
We write out every voice note and gather it all into a podcast you can play and a beautiful book you can hold.
Her mam and her aunties can add advice from their own marriages.
Ask the groom's mam for their numbers, so the new side of the family is in it from the start.
Hand her the printed book while she's getting her hair done.
Each hen can add a photo with her story, from the J1 summer to last Christmas.
Pick one story she'd tell the wedding guests and one she wouldn't. Save the second one for the weekend!
"Sinéad, it's Ríona. The night we met him in Coppers you made me swap seats so you'd be beside him."
"Sinéad, it's Auntie Ornait. Your nana's rosary beads have gone to every bride in the family, and they're yours on Saturday."
"I'm gutted to miss the hen. Have a drink for me in Galway and ring me from the karaoke."
"Sinéad, I've the sash and the L plates in the boot, and Ríona's bringing the speaker."
The printed book takes about three weeks to reach you. If you're starting later, the podcast link and the book online are ready the day you order.
We gave a book of stories about Mam to her for Christmas and she said it was the best gift she had received. There were some stories she had never heard! She felt really surrounded by love.
