Bachelorette Party

Ladies,

Are you having a bachelorette party? If so are you having it the same weekend as your wedding or the weeks leading up to it?

My bridal party is trying to plan it but asked did I have a preference. My wedding is at 2:00pm on that Saturday. So I don't see why it can't be the same weekend but what's your plans? Maybe that can help me decide.

In your opinion will we all be beat down trying to get up the next morning or what?

    Mine & my FI is that same wknd...my wedding is at 6:30pm on saturday so that gives everyone time to recover! If my wedding was earlier then I would do the weekend before & maybe do something more relaxed with my girls the night before the wedding.

    Me and my ladies are always the last ones to leave the bar! We always say this is the "last' drink so I know I wouldn't be able to have my bachelorette party the night before the wedding. Although we are planning to hang out a little bit that Friday after the rehearsal dinner, just the BP. I'm thinking we will go to Jasper's or something.

    I would like to have my party the weekend before the wedding but that's easter weekend so I think my bachelorette party will be two weeks before the wedding. This bachelorette talk made me remember I need to contact you about the pole party!

    I think that if you and your ladies have no issues waking up early after hanging out then you can have your party the night before. You just have to think about hangovers and will it limit what you want to do that night

    my girls and i are heading to vegas about two months before the wedding.  i am getting married on friday so doing it the day before the wedding was not an option. 

    it really depends on what types of activities you are planning.  my "outing" will be full of dancing, eating and drinking... will need some time to detox!!

    My party will be the Thursday before the wedding since we will be getting married that Saturday at 2pm.  I know how FI and I both party so neither one of us are having our parties the night before the wedding.  That Thursday is also St. Patrick's day, so it works out great lol!

    @MsApril definitely hit me up lady bug.

    And thank you ladies for responding so swiftly. This gives me something to ponde on. My FI's family is from Jersey so my fear is that they won't get to participate.

    Can you possibly have you bachelorette party the weekend before then maybe the night before the wedding hang out with his family for a few hours?

    If they are staying at the harbor you can do that club in the gaylord, or that place where you ride the bull (I'm drawing a blank on the name but I'm sure you know what I'm talking about)!

    April are you talking about Cadillac Ranch?

    My BP will be the weekend before even though im getting married on a Saturday night @8 :30 pm. several members of my BP would be late for the own funeral i cant risk them having hangovers too.LOL

    I guess I could do something more laid back that night before and have the bachelorette party the weekend before hand.. Hmmmm that's an idea. Yes of course I know exactly where you are talking about lol.

    Maybe that is the best idea.

    My bach party is June 4th and my wedding is June 25th. I didn't want it the same weekend because I don't want it in Oklahoma (where my wedding is)

    So having it three weeks before allows my BM's to travel still but not so close to the wedding.

    I think the night before is fine if you all can recover. Another one of my concerns was having sleepy eyes in my photos. But if you don't have that problem I say live it up the night before.

    My wedding is Sat Jun 4th @ 5pm and my bach party will be the night before. If my wedding started @  2pm, I probably would have it Thurs night or the weekend before. Just think, with your wedding starting at 2pm, you will be getting up early on Sat morning with just a few hours of sleep, if any at all, and a possible hangover...lol.

    Hello DMV & B-more ladies.....love some Cadillac Ranch! Man...I rode that bull & didn't last 10 seconds....lol. Good luck & keep us posted on what you decide.

    I get married Sunday Jan 16 and my bachelorette party is this weekend.  It's unfortunate because my out of town bridesmaids won't be there, but it allows me to go all out and not be hungover or exhausted the day of my wedding.  I'll probably do somethng small and relatively early the Sat night before my wedding though.
