Tell me if I'm being crazy!
It's been really important to me to keep my wedding costs low. I am also trying to keep it low for my friends, especially many of us are in more than 1 upcoming wedding. I've literally not followed one normal wedding tradition so I figured why stop now.
I'm not a party girl and I really wouldn't be ok with them spending a ton on a bachelorette party - which I know they will because it's been done for pretty much all of my friends. Instead of a bachelorette party, I'd really prefer host something FOR my girls... to thank them for everything and spend an evening with them before I'm hitched. I do not see this as planning my own bachelorette party because that's not what I would call it. If you were a bridesmaid, would you be upset with a bride who wanted this?
PS. I'm thinking of this as a gift, in lieu of giving them a clutch or shoes or things like that which bridesmaids get as gifts. But also in place of a bach party because it will still be an evening we hang out... which is the point of a bach party right.
