Bach Party Woes

Ok...So - a few of my friends are planning my bachelorette party.  We are supposed to go to Nashville for the weekend of Sept 11-13.  It's supposed to be PAR-TAY time.Ugh.I am NOT a big partier anymore.  I mean, MY idea of a great bachelorette party is sitting on the beach with a pina colada.  While that's not do-able, I just wouldn't mind something a little more low key.  I don't know.... I was all about Nashville at first, but the closer it gets, the more I really don't want to go. Especially for the whole weekend.  Can't we just have a fun day at a golf course and then hit up a casino or something for the night?What should I do?

    Any chance you know if hotels/reservations/deposits have already been made?  That would influence my decision more than anything.  I definitely think you should speak up, but if it'll cause strife because money has already been spent, I'd think twice if it were me. What do you already know about it?

    I know a hotel reservation has been made.  I also know that any money that was put down can be reimbursed if canceled.  I just feel bad because I was pretty gungho about it initially, but have been less and less so since it was planned.

    I def understand where you are coming from.  However, even though you don't want to spend the whole weekend partying, you can still do other things.  Nashville has tons of stuff to do.  I would just let them know that you are psyched about the trip, but you don't want to spend the entire weekend drinking and partying.  HTH!

    yeahhhh....I did that.  I said that Friday night I'd prefer to sit around the pool at the hotel and drink wine and hang out - kinda slumber party style.  Or maybe to hit up a comedy club.  Then Saturday night could be for going out. But I'm still just not fond of spending my entire weekend in Nashville.

    I was the same way. We met in the middle. Friday night we had a cookout with margaritas (yum I could use one right now) and the hung out at the pool on Saturday, then out on Saturday night. We did go to the bars, but it was nothing crazy. All of my friends enjoyed it (after all we are not young anymore) and even my mom stayed out all night. We enjoyed the time and it wasnt crazy. I was all nervous about it but am glad I did it.

    I mean, you should just tell them, sooner rather than later.And why does a Bach party have to turn into a whole weekend (especially during prime wedding-planning time?)Tell them you'd like a DAY to spend with them, chilling, then having some drinks in the evening.That should be sufficient.

    I bet the other girls probably don't want to spend their whole weekend there too. I know i would kinda be annoyed to have to go to a weekend bachelorette party away from home. Just tell them what you want to do.

    i was really not interested in my bachelorette party until it got here.  then i was SUPER excited to see all my friends and hang out and get away.  but like i said, it wasnt until i was THERE that i felt the excitement.
