bachelorette party

My BM is planning a bachelorette party for me. I'm super excited, because I pretty much never go out. Fiance and I stay home with the kids more often than not. We're planning to go to a piano bar. She called me over the weekend asking for a list of people to invite. I asked that she let me get through the weekend as I was super busy and then I'd get her a list. So I emailed her a small list today (and by small list, I mean BM and MOH and that's basically it) and said I really don't have a lot of close girl friends so I didn't know who to invite. She suggested a few people, and I'm okay with most of them, but she mentioned a girl who isn't invited to the wedding. I know this is against etiquette, but BM doesn't get it. We went to school with this girl, I went to her wedding like 8 years ago, but have had no interaction with her aside from facebook comments over the last five years. It's awkward.

Definitely awkward. But did you put your foot down with your BM or is she still insisting on inviting her. To me the bachelorette is not about how many people you have, it's about having the girls you're closest to there.

I put my foot down. I told her if this wasn't the bachelorette party, I wouldn't mind the girl coming, but that it's highly inappropriate to invite her to this and not the wedding. And I feel the same way about it being about having those your closest to there. I think BM sees all these other people talking about their all-night bachelorette parties with 20 people and thinks that's what we need to have.

My sister has thrown a couple ideas around for mine too, like going downtown for dinner and then having a late game night with everyone at my aunts.
