Bachelorette Party with the Groom?

in Pre-wedding Parties
FH is seriously my best friend, and vice versa. He wanted me and Best Man to plan his bachelor party (because he likes surprises). But, while FH and I were talking about the kinds of things we'd like to do for parties we realized that none of it really seems that fun without one another. 

I don't really want a bacherlorette party (I have few female friends - one of my bridesmaids is actually a guy). And I don't really want any gifts (it was hard enough finding wedding registry items, I need and want so few things). 

We thought it'd be cool to have a bar crawl, send out ot all our friends that we're having a crawl, listing the bars and then go to town. We want to rent a limo for the wedding party that says "Almost Married" on the back...

...is this weird to anyone? We're pretty sure of what we want to do, we're both just wondering if anyone else does this sort of thing...

    Oh wow, it's so funny you should respond, having that image as a signature. 

    Potter Puppet Pals is what started my relationship with FH.

    I think that's a great alternative to doing separate bachelor and bachelorette parties.

    Awesome, I was just worried that people would think we didn't trust each other or were co-dependent or something when it's just really that, we have more fun together.

    Sounds fun to me. FH and I wanted to do something like that, but my MOH took it upon herself to throw me a party, and FH's BM wont shut up about a bachelor party.

    I don't think we'll have that problem. My MOH is a bit of a dud - we've been growing apart for years but she's still my closet girlfriend and BM is as close with me as he is to FH.

    We had sort of a co-ed bachelor/bachelorette party. My MOH and his BM rented a party bus that took us up to Mohegan Sun (we lived in CT at the time) and the party bus was co-ed, but when we got to the casino I went off with the girls to one of the nightclubs and he went off with the guys to some of the bars and to hit some of the gambling tables. Everyone raved about how much fun the party bus part was and no one questioned whether or not we trusted each other. We just wanted to do the same type of thing for our b-parties and all of our friends are apart of the same group so it just made sense for us all to be together and then split up once we go to the casino.

    I think that is what they do in canada. They are called "jack & jill" parties:. Rock on! No one aid you have to follow all the pre-wedding traditions.

    If you both agree on this idea, which it sounds like you have, then go for it.

    I think it's just the thing to do now. Me and my fiancé were thinking of doing the same thing

    We are doing the same thing with both our wedding parties and taking a big four day coed vacation to vegas. We have a small wedding party made up of mostly family so it worked out well. My FI is deployed right now and I didn't much care for the idea of spending a night away from him when he gets back. Now we get to have four crazy days in vegas together!

    I think your idea sounds pretty kickass and if you were my friend I would love to do that instead of the normal penis cake type of bachlorette party! Go for it!

    I think this is the new trend, this isn't the first time I have heard of such parties. My fiance and I are going to do the same thing. We are looking forward to it!

    We're doing the same thing... our MOH and BM are married.  So they planned it that way... I'm looking foward to it though, I think it will be a great time together with all of our friends!

    We're doing it too. Were getting a party bus for us, the WP and our friends and are doing a bar crawl. Us and our wedding party are all over the US so we're just having it 2 nights before the wedding once we're all in town. SO Excited for it

    I think it's a great idea, my FH and I are doing the same thing - we are HUGE baseball fans and so are a lot of our closest friends (who would be invited to the bachelor/bachelorette parties) so we are getting a sky box and then doing a bar crawl around the city afterwards - hope you have a grea time at yours!

    I would so be down for the baseball skybox thing, but I think I'm the only one that will be at my wedding that likes baseball. :/

    I think it all depends on the couple. The people who are gonna go, the people who know you best and love you both, won't question you or your motives- they'll understand that that's the couple you are and you're happy with it, and really that's what it's all about :)
