Bachelorette Party Ideas

Hey P&E!

I know I haven't been posting here regularly in forever and there are tons of new people, but this is a busier board and I need some quick ideas.

Tonight is my bachelorette party and we were going to do a murder-mystery dinner theatre thing, however, this morning they called and said that one of the actors missed a flight and they've canceled tonight's show.

Other than strip clubs and just going out to bars, what are some ideas you ladies have? We're in the Houston area (I'm going to post there, too) so the amount of things to do is pretty limitless.

Thanks!

  • Spa day?

    A nice dinner and go out afterwards? Are there fun restaurants you've wanted to try, like and Ichiban or something?

    Any shows in town?

    Bowling is always good for a kick.

    If it were me, I'd just wanna go out to dinner and then go to someone's house and kick it, but I'm low maintenence like that.

  • Hi Jess, long time no see!

    Have fun on your party.  I would do dinner and maybe hit up someplace where you can all dance.  That is, if you like dancing.  It really depends what kind of night you guys want.

  • Well, how come YOU are trying to replan it. Your hostesses should be the ones scrambling about this.

  • Well my sister is the hostess, but she's at work. I told her I'd try to think of some ideas.
  • Well, Hmmmm....any comedy shows in town? Do you have a dinner and a movie place? Or a dinner and theater place?

  • Are there other murder mystery places that you could go to instead? I googled and found this one:

  • The wine place is Cova Hand Selected Wine. I'm not sure the vibe, but they say they do have a private room you can reserve...

  • So my primary thought is to go to  (this is a link ----->) The Chocolate Bar in Houston. I've been wanting to go there for the longest time.

    We'd probably go to a restaurant first.

    Is it lame? I'm pretty low-key. I don't need something major. Just time with friends.

    Perhaps I should learn to use question marks.
  • We did some bars and a comedy place after dinner.  It was nice!

  • Yeah, I saw there's at least 7 comedy clubs around houston, and some of the shows tonight sound pretty darn funny.

  • Yes, question marks are helpful little buggers.

    Doing well, doing well.  How about yourself?  (notice the question mark)

  • I've gone to comedy clubs several times, but  they're usually pretty crass, which isn't an issue for me personally, but I do have a couple of friends who might be offended, thus that is something that's off the list.

    But OMG, Improv Houston is outstanding. I've seen Hal Sparks, Jo Koy and Damon Wayans there. Laughed my ass off every time.
  • Doing well. Just in the midst of getting all of those last minute details together. The big day is a week from today.
  • You're getting married on my birthday!  It's the most perfect day to get married.
