One of my bridesmaids is only 20. How do we go about doing a bachelorette party?

I want her to feel included and not left out, but at the same time, my MOH and I want to have some "naughty" fun so to say since it is after all a bachelorette party. Any ideas on what to do so she doesn't feel left out? Should we do something 18+ early on, and then 21+ later in the evening?

    I was only 17 when I was a bridesmaid for my SIL.  Her MOH just called ahead and let the managers know that I would be joining them for a bachelorette party.  We went to wine bars, dance clubs, and the whole naughty shabang.  I think she just called around and found the places that would work with us...

    You could make some time to go to lunch or a spa or something with her.

    When I got married in 07 (now HAPPILY divorced, lol), I had the BEST party, hands down. We also had a couple people in our party who were not over 21. We live in Houston, so we are lucky enough to be close to a great party area (6th street, in Austin, Tx, and my former inlaws lived there, too, & provided housing). Anyway, we made a whole weekend of it! On Friday night, we had an excellent pool style party at my parents' house, where they have a big pool, hottub, out side wet bar, and plenty of room for people to sleepover. All of our underage friends were able to come and party with us (we had our parties together, because my exhusband literally had 2 friends, and neither could or would come to the party), and there was no fuzz to hassle us about people 4 mos from being 21 drinking. We played silly drinking games & did trivia and such...it was GREAT. Then, the following day, we woke up midmorning, fed everyone, and anyone who was interested & over 21 carpooled the 1.5 hrs up to Austin, where my ex mother in law had prepared a huge spread for us. We ate, took a nap, then headed out to 6th street for the night, where we did the bar hopping scene. We also took heed to arrange for one of those 15 passenger style vans to bring us back home, where, again, my ex mother in law had another huge spread for us. It was REALLY great, and none of the people we wanted to be involved got left out. Consider having underagers in your party a blessing; it's an excuse to have TWO parties! :D

    There are a few options.

    Go to bars that are 18 and up if she would have a good time dancing and hanging out but not drinking.

    Do events that could include her during the day, spa day, beach day, amusement park, sporting event.  Then have a bar night at 9 or 10.

    If she does like to drink, you could do a party at someone's house.

    My sister (MOH) is 19 and doesn't drink and hates being around it where as I love to go to bars and want to drink that night, so i'm definitely in a similar situation right now.

    Thanks everyone for your help! 
    Most party places where I live are 21+ and they are pretty strict, so I'm leaning towards having a whole weekend of fun, where one night we include everyone, and one where its 21+

    There are some great ideas on here! One of my BM is going to be 17 when we get married and I was trying to figure out what to do too, since everyone else is over 21 and I definitely want her to feel involved!
