Bach Parties?

Is it necessary? I'm thinking FI would really have a video game sleepover at his Best Man's house (men never seem to mature past 16...) and I don't even know what I would do. All my BMs are OOT.

Is it necessary??

Nope. I didn't have one, but my H did. He had a bunch of friend back home that took him out. I don't have any girlfriends so I didn't have one, but I went out with my sister and her friends the night my H had his. But they are not mandatory and they don't have to involve bar-hopping and druken antics. If your FI loves video games, I think that sounds like a great idea for him and his BM.

I did not get a party.  H went out with some of his friends to dinner and a concert.  I did invite the girls that were OOT to come over to the house so they did not have to hang out in the hotel all night by themselves.  I did not bill it as a bach. party.  It was just a get together for the left-out ladies.  We sat in the hot tub and ate dinner and drank some wine.  They were all gone by midnight.

No, they are not mandatory.  You don't have to have one.  If someone offers to take either one of you out for the night, then that is great.  If you do something, it does not have to be the drunken debauchery you see on TV.  It can be very low key.


Do let someone else plan it.  You should not host your own b-parties.

I'm not having one.

Of course it isn't necessary.  Either way, you wouldn't be the one to plan it anyways.  If your bridal party or other friends want to plan a bachelorette party for you they will.  If not then no big deal.
