What are you guys doing for yours?

Possibly going to Vegas. I don't want to do a standard bachelorette party; by THAT I mean, I won't be wearing a mock-veil, I won't be wearing a "suck for a buck" t-shirt, I won't be wearing a feather boa, and I'm not going to any male strip clubs...non of that. I envision my bach party to be a time for the girls to just chill poolside, drinks in hand, snackin' on some good appies (appetizers). Would love to hit a nice restaurant maybe on Thursday night, check out the outdoor casual-type bars on Friday and go to a "happening" spot on Saturday night. You know...the BIG night out.Still in talks with my girls, but I haven't had one girl say she wasn't interested yet. LOL.

We rented a cottage in New Buffalo Michigan (on lake Michigan) for a wineries/shopping/beach/casino weekend.  Just going with my 7 bridesmaids.  I have always wanted to do this and feel a little too old for the fake veil, penis straws, etc.

I forgot to add....I went to my friends bachelorette party in Miami last weekend and we had a blast!!  Great party spot!

I am not entirely sure, but i know that I was a bridesmaid a few times and though it was probably fun especially for the bride, the destination bachelorette parties ended up costing me a fortune. I know this year in particular has hit everyone hard, and my bridesmaids are already spending a ton of money on my wedding so I am leaving it up to them but told them a night out at some local bars would be great.

Ok, we are going to Vegas, this weekend, in fact.  Since when does a bachelorette party in Vegas equal a trash fest with male strippers and lewd tshirts?  I think that's really narrow-minded of you to think that and post it for everyone to see.  Our Vegas weekend is going to include nice dinners in fancy restaurants, spa day, classy clubs/shows at night and bonding with my best girl friends.  I absolutely can't wait to get to relax with my friends before the hectic holidays take over.

A few of us are going on a little trip somewhere - searching the Caribbean/Mexico - for some sun and relaxation.  But the big one will be in the city planned by 3 of my bridesmaids.Also, I don't kthame meant that just about Vegas...

I think that's really narrow-minded of you to think that and post it for everyone to see.She wasnt even referring to just Vegas when she said that. She was just stating the general reputation that bach parties have, which I think she hit right on! Maybe you should read things more clearly before you throw out harsh comments.Whats up with all the snarky brides on here lately!?

I haven't really talked about it with everyone, but I would like to do the renting a cottage/lake house thing. Since my bridesmaids don't really know each other all that well, I'd rather we all have the opportunity to just hang out together. I feel a little too old for the typical bachelorette stuff also. KellyLynn2- how did you find a place in New Buffalo?

My BM and I just talked about this the other day!  I think we're going to start somewhere tame-ish (Howl at the Moon, maybe) for dinner and fun with my mom, his mom, some aunts, my underaged BM and my friends.  Afterward, just the friends and I will hop on a trolley or bus and hit up all the dive bars we used to basically live in!  I'm psyched, and it fits me perfectly.

dookie32 - Some couple of my bridesmaids have been there serveral times before so they were familiar with places to stay.  We found a house/cabin that sleeps 8.  My bridesmaid are planning it but I believe they booked the Taylor cottage.  Here is the website:  www.newbuffaloinn.comIt sounds great.  Here is the description and the pics look awesome!  I love that we will all be in one house rather than different hotel rooms."Our 2 story cottage with a total of 4 bedrooms - 2 bedrooms with King beds , 1 bedroom with Queen bedroom & and 4th bedroom with 2 twin beds.  Two full Master baths have 2 person jetted tubs and amazing showers. Also cottage has 2 gas fireplaces in living areas and 3rd fireplace in master bedroom. Includes a party room with plenty of gathering space!  Enough room for a gathering or corporate retreat. Sleeps up to 8 persons."Hope this helps!!  We aren't going until June but we booked now because they only have two 8 person cottages.

One of my favorites was renting a party bus and driving around for a couple hours, then we ended up at a bar for 80s music night. I love karaoke and so does one of my bridesmaids planning the bachelorette party so I think we might do that somewhere...otherwise I don't know too many details!

Thanks ladies. Like many of you, I do not want to be dressed up with a penis veil, etc. My bach party is Nov 14th and I've tried to stay out of the planning. I have just made it clear that there will be no "suck for a buck" shirts.BTW, I love the New Buffalo Inn....that is where my fiance and I went on our first 'trip'

Uh, yikes about my last post, btw.  I blame my temporary insanity on being sick for the last week.  I think it's cool that so many people are planning on going away with the girls for a bachelorette party.
