Joint Bachelorette Party?

laurajennings

My friend and I are getting married two weeks apart and one of our friends suggested a combined bachelorette party.  However, I'm not very keen on this; I want my party to be with my good friends, and after having gone to other bachelorette parties, I've seen that a lot of people can result in too many differences in opinion.  Also, what bride wouldn't want the night to be just about her!?!?! 

What do you think??

I think, for me in this situation, it would depend on how good of a friend that person is. If you think you guys are going to want the same group of small, close friends, and the two of you are best buddies... I'd probaby do it. If you think you're going to want different things, and different people there, then different parties just makes sense. One of my best friends, I would share the night with, because her and all of our other best friends would be there for both parties anyway and it would save them money just to do one night. If it was someone I'm friends with, but not best friends, especially if I wanted a small thing with just my close friends then I would want my own.

You do need to consider other people's finances though... is that the main reason for wanting a joint bachlorette? Because that would make a lot of sense to me. But unless people's money is being strained, I think you're fine requesting that you get your own.

Personally I wouldn't mind doing a joint one with a good friend. I would talk to the other bride and see what she had in mind. If you are basically on the same page on what you would like to do than go for a joint one.

If you find that you want to go clubbing and the other bride want to do a spa day than I would suggest separate bachelorette's

<div>Sure, but a joint B-party is probably a lot more considerate of your friends' time and money. Personally, that matters to me more than getting a special party to myself.</div>
