Bachelorette Party! HELP!!!

JAG14414 · April 2011

I need some serious HELP!!!! I know the bride isn't suppose to plan her own party but I don't have a maid of honor and all my maids are in super crazy schedules with cash restraints and since I'm currently unemployed with tons of time I figured I'd step up to the plate. I know you're thinking go out to some bars and be done with it. One of my maids is a recovering alcoholic so I want to be sensitive and not choose an activity focused around drinking. One of them is my fiances younger sister who is very uncomfortable when it comes to sex and naked men (no pleasure parties or strip clubs!) she also hates anything spooky (no ghost tours, which I would have loved). One of my maids wanted to do a Vegas trip but lets face it, that could ran a couple hundred dollars and since I had to pay for 2 of my maids dresses since they couldn't afford it I can't see that happening. I want to do something fun but I also want to be considerate of everyones feelings and budgets. I suggested going to Lannies Clocktower or a striptease class (you keep your clothes on and I mentioned if it was too racy we could toss it) and my bros fiance shot both those down saying that they weren't any fun in front of all my other maids. So I'm at a loss. I know spa days are popular but treatments can get expensive. Also I'm bunking with my parents since my fiance is depolyed so I feel akward about bringing all my girls to my parents house for a bachelorette party. HELP!!!!!!

Sorry but you can't plan your own bachelorette party. If no one plans you one, you don't get one. If you want to have a last night out with friends then ask some to meet you for dinner, spa, shopping, etc. but don't expect them to pay.

It's not "stepping up to the plate" when you plan a party in your own honour. I'd let your WP plan something, if they would like to do that.

i like the "final fling" girls night idea - just have them over for pizza and movies. sounds awesome to me

I like the girls' night out idea. It'll give you a chance to do something fun with your girls, as long as you're not expecting them to pay for anything. So really, it's a question of YOUR budget, not theirs--would it work for you to provide some pizza and movies? Or anything as simple as that...

When my best friend got married she wasn't 21, and she was marrying a youth pastor so we were very limited to what we could do. I threw an 80s themed shower. we decked ourselves out in 80s theme and went to a cheap dinner (you could do chilis or mimis) and then we went roller skating. We all bunked at another bridesmaid house and stayed up late playing apples to apples, eating, and watching 80s flix (16 candles, breakfast club, etc. --> Molly ringwald night). It worked great with the church crowd and the under 21 crowd!! Good luck!

I agree- call it a "last fling" or "girls night out" the term bachelorette party just has too many connotations and you shouldn't plan it for yourself.

I went to a hibachi grill one night with my girl friends and we had such a blast! It's the grills where the chef cooks right in front of you and does awesome tosses and tricks with your food. He made all of us catch a vegetable in our mouth and the other tables would cheer when you caught it on the first try, it was a lot of fun!
