July 2012 Weddings

The bachelorette party- PIP

First- It was not my party! This bride is getting married May 12, and really wanted to see Chippendales for her party. 
So her two bridemaids and I headed 7 hours south to Florence, Indiana and the belterra casino for saturday night. Indiana is a terrible state to drive through btw. lots of fields. i know michigan is similar, but this was ridiculous.  
Anyway- we got there a little early, had ben and jerrys ice cream, a shot, and a drink each before. We walked in, had our ids checked, and found our mediocre seats. Then a usher came over and said there was a problem with our IDs so we had to follow him and get them checked. about 10 feet away he said we were getting moved to the front row!!!!! Much better view. ;)
The show started, and of course the bachelorette in the front row got to go onstage for a game and show her moves. It was great. We took a picture after, and originally it was $15 per person in the photo (!!!- you all get a copy, but seriously?), but since it was a bachelorette, we paid $30.  heres the photo! 
im on the far left. :)  they look even better in person!! we played some slots and the bride and I won $10 each. 
Analysis of the show: if its not a bachelorette party, the shows a little pricey,and not as long as advertised. and the photos are $$$ too. Maybe not worth 7 hours drive, but it was a lot of fun. I mean, its mostly naked men stripping/dancing on stage - who wouldnt like that?

  • I'm an Indiana native!  I know fields.

    Wow this is like from a movie or something! 

    That's kind of a haul from Grand Rapids, isn't it?
  • AWESOME!  Thanks for sharing!!  Sounds like you guys had a great time, and I'm sure your friend was really grateful for you guys making the trip out.

    My personal trainer is also an exotic dancer, so I am dying to take him up on his "VIP" offer for someone's bachelorette party.  My MOH already planned something else for mine, so I'm trying to convince one of the many other brides I know to do this!  (It's not Chippendales but he dances at various local venues...)

    Haha! I went to see the Chippendale's two times! First time I went with my girlfriends and my MOM. It was so funny. Here are the pictures- we had to pay $10 for each picture to be taken!:






    And this one is with my mom (please don't mind my clothes haha)

    Who, me? No way! :)

    Well, if FI gets to hunt during deer opener- I might as well go and have some fun with my ladies! :) Went two years in a row and was a bit disappointed after the 2nd time- the show was exactly the same as the year before.

  • Hahaha shhh don't tell everyone Indiana is boring to drive through! That's where my wedding is!  (And, have you ever driven through Ohio? I'd have to say the level of boredom is pretty equal if you're on I-70 lol) Nah, I grew up in Indiana and TOTALLY agree it's boring!

    Anyway, looks like you guys had fun! Chicago is another good place for a bachelorette party, btw! I'm not sure if that's where mine will be, but we did it for my BFF/one of my BMs and it was amazing!
