Awkward bachelorette party situation

sabatron

My fiance's sister asked me what my plans were for my bachelorette party, and I realized I have no idea what I should do.  My sister is my MOH and she'll only be 15, and my only other bridesmaid is a friend who is 24. I'll also want to include my fiance's 2 sisters (30 and 28), and possibly a couple others. What's an activity that ALL the girls can participate in (including the older ones and my sister) without it being lame? Any ideas?

Well, you don't throw your own bachelorette party, so the answer here would be "I don't know, no one has offered to plan one."

You're also 7 months out from the wedding and no one in their right mind would start to plan one this early.  My BMs started planning mine about 3 months out and held it the weekend before the wedding.  It's one of those things that doesn't need lots of planning necessarily so it typically comes together closer to the wedding date.

Tell FSIL, "I haven't heard anything about bach party plans yet, and as far as I know there are none."  She may offer to throw you one, or someone else might, or you might not have one.

Just tell her that you haven't heard of any plans for a bachelorette shower, but will let her know if you do.  You shouldn't be planning it yourself, although if someone is planning one it's probably ok to let them know that your sister would like to be included in at least part of the party if possible.

If your bm do decide to throw you a b-party and ask you what you would like, there are a lot of options that don't involve bar hopping.  Some options would be a movie night, slumber party, game night, my bm took me to a place with laser tag, bumper boats, mini golf, and go carts.

Yes, some people go to a spa, or a day trip, shopping, or out to a nice dinner...it doesn't have to involve a blow-up penis and booze and drunken debauchery...(although some do!)

Yep, do NOT plan your own b party. My friend had a sleepover with wedding movies.

For one of my bff's, we did mini golfing and bowling (the bride wore a mini veil and a bride to be banner, kind of miss america style), and ice cream, then went back to her house.  We made food and watched movies and drank, but obviously you can skip that part with a 15 year old.  It was a lot of fun- much more so than my other bff's bar crawl in DC.

For all ages, I love a spa day (your 15 year old sister would have a blast!).  For one of my friend's bach party we organized a scavenger hunt around Boston that ended with dinner at a fun restaurant.  There is also a great restaurant in Boston that specializes in fancy desserts, great option for a girls night out.  Yeah, we aren't big drinkers so there is no reason a B party has to revolve around alcohol.

Good to know... I wasn't aware that I even had to have a bachelorette party. I thought people planned what they wanted to do and told everyone about it. I would like to opt for just a nice, fun dinner out, so that everyone can be included. Not a big drinker either.

So are you planning this yourself?  If so, you could just call it a girl's night out.

One of the best b-parties I've been to was a movie marathon, and we made the favors and rolled silverware up in napkins.  I actually got to spend time with the bride, and that made it more memorable for me.

I assume she's asking you because she wants to plan it?

FYI, some spas don't allow people under 18 to get treatments. Or they'll allow manis/pedis for those 16-18, but only accompanies by a parent. Look into that before solidifying any plans.
