Shower+Bachlorette Party = Penis Party????

in May 2012 Weddings
My MTOH told me today that she is giving me a Penis Party. That the BM's agreed that they wanted to combine the shower and party together and then we could go out that night. When I asked what the Penis Party entailed, I got this response... "dirty, penis-y type stuff. FUN Stuff." 

1. they are giving me this party at a Mexican Restaurant in the party room. Which I am fine with, but isn't that a little too raunchy for a public place?
2. It's from 2-4pm - shouldnt it be a little bit lower key than a Penis Party during that time of the day?

Idk, it all seems a little much. I asked her if she thought it was too raunchy for a restaurant.... I am awaiting a reply. I don't want to shoot her idea down though.

    Will you have older relatives (Mom, Aunts, Grandma, FILs) at your shower? Because I know it would make me uncomfortable to have those people at a party with "dirty, penis-y stuff."

    If you're not into the penis party idea I would tell her so or at least ask her to save the penises for when you go out later that night.

    My other question to that would be are mothers or grandmothers going to be there? I would have no problem with the party itself BUT there are certain people I may invite to a shower that I would not want at a penis party. Also I agree the timing of day AND the location would bother me.

    I agree with PP the penis related stuff would embarrass most older family members, and would be better included in the evening activities.

    She said she was going to keep it classy. I told her No balloons and I wasn't wearing a penis veil or necklace. I am almost 28 years old! Sheesh! 
    His mom and my mom will be there, his aunts too but they are wild and crazy. Mine are a little more conservative but I think they'll be ok as long as its not over the top.

    I agree with PPs.

    I'm glad to see it all worked out and your MTOH was understanding and listened to your concerns!

    Would they consider just having the regular shower and then the penis part of the night after when you go out?

    My family is super crazy and half of them might laugh at this type of shower, but a LOT of other people (i.e. my grandmother, mom, FMIL and some of FI's family) would be horrified.

    If they are willing to do without the penis balloons/necklaces, would they be willing to just wait until after the shower to do anything else that may be considered racy?

    I'm confused as to how a "penis party" could be kept "classy"...

    Anyway, I already told my MOH and BMs that I didn't want penises (penii?) anywhere during the showers or my bachelorette.  It's just not me.  I went to a friend's bachelorette that was like that, and I just felt really awkward the whole time.

    If you're party is that early in the day in a regular restaurant (not a bar), I would say it would be very weird to have penis stuff ANYWHERE.  If you're going to do that stuff, save it for the bars where everyone gets into that sort of thing.

    I told my mom and friends if anything is penis related at my shower, I won't be coming. I'm 31 and have 2 kids. I'm too old to be giggling over them. They're just not amusing to me anymore lol
