Going out drinking with my bridesmaids and girlfriends isn't really our thing. Also, it's not something I'll stop doing once I'm married. Camping, hiking, and other outdoor activities are something my family loves and my future husband hates, so they will be something that'll be harder to do once I'm married.
Thus my plan for an alternative bachelorette party: Camping with my family, including my father, who is bemused at being invited to what I'm still calling a "bachelorette party." My fiance and his parents celebrated Thanksgiving with my family, and as I exchange bunches of e-mails with Mom about including him in our Christmas celebrations, I'm really looking forward to this camping trip as the last time it's just the five of us (me, parents, two sisters). I think it'll be far more meaningful than another party with my peer-friends.
Did anyone else do anything special to sort of say good-bye to their "family of origin"?
