Bachlorette Party

Contrary to popular belief and media attention, it’s possible to plan a bachlorette party without hiring a bunch of strippers, getting the bride-to-be ridiculously drunk, then regretting things in the morning. Of course, whether or not you want to go with a PG-rated bachlorette party is completely up to you (especially if you happen to be the maid of honor).

So, how do you know if you should plan an X-Rated bachlorette party or a PG-rated on? This is completely dependent on the temperament and desires of the bride. Hopefully you know her pretty well by now, is she the sort of girl who wants to cut loose before her marriage, or will she be uncomfortable about things and regret them later? Some bridesmaids think the bride may be a bit wound-up, but that it would really do her some good to go see a guy take his clothes off for awhile. These sorts of plans often backfire, leaving just about everybody uncomfortable and wanting to go home (even the stripper).

So, let’s say you decide not to go the whole stripper-and-whiskey route, what’s a girl to do on the night (or weekend) before her wedding? Again, this is a bride-dependent question, and it also has something to do with the makeup of the bridal party. For example, are the bridesmaids made up of conservative relatives or college friends? Though a night out drinking and clubbing downtown may be a lot of fun with the college friends, it’s probably not going to go over well with the brides’ aunts (then again, it may go over very well with the right aunts). Don’t be afraid to allow the bachlorette party to be somewhat sentimental, especially if it involves a reunion with friends and family the bride hasn’t seen for awhile.

Also don’t be afraid to have a little fun, even if that fun doesn’t mean hitting the bars. Does the bride have a childish side to her? What about a night of playing skee-ball and mini golf? Does she like to travel? What if the entire bridal party bought plane tickets for the bachlorette party and whisked the bride off to somewhere new, even if it’s just in the next state, for dinner and a night out? When you’re setting up a bachlorette party just make sure that the events and the mood fit both the bride and the bridal party, and you’re sure to all have a grand night out.
