Joint Bachelorette Party

APodiak

Super weird / random question here....

Two of my best friends are getting married this year and they opted to have a joint bachelorette party, that I am planning. I want to make tshirts / shot glasses / something as a gift for everyone that comes but "Sarah and Jill's bachelorette party!" sounds like a lesbian couple having their party together...

Any suggestions on how to word something like that?! Or wording that just is completely different? (I know this is so random..haha)

I smell trouble.

Can you talk your friends out of this idea?  Even if all the same people would be invited to both events and the intention is to save people money by not paying for 2 events, one or both of the brides-to-be is going to feel gyped in the end.  A bachelorette party is supposed to be a fun night out in your one friend's honor to celebrate her "last" big hurrah.  Your friends will enjoy the day and/or night much more if you truly make it special and personalized for each of them.  I know that's probably not the answer you were looking for, but it's something to consider before going through with this idea.

<div>I disagree. I would have no problem sharing an event with a friend if the guest list would have friends in common.</div><div>
</div><div>I wouldn't feel gyped at any event held in my honor even if it was shared. Isn't a wedding shared with someone else as well?</div><div>
</div><div>If your friends are ok with it and have the same idea in mind (both want bars, not one wants spa and the other wants dinner, ya know?) then go for it.</div><div>
</div><div>As for a souvenir - does it need to be personalized? Can it be like, a painted wine glass with their own name on it? I've seen/received those.</div><div>
</div><div>Good luck with planning!</div>

Honestly I don't think you need to even bother with the personalized gifts.  IMO it's just more junk you have to find room in your house for.   Use the money to buy a round of drinks.

I also agree, you won't need to do anything personalized. With the idea of a joint party - I will say, as a twin always having to share milestones - i would be annoyed if i had to also share the party. So i'd be doubly sure that both girls are really okay with the idea (and even ask them separately to avoid conflict).
