I'm getting married in just under six weeks, and out of necessity having my bachelorette party the night before the wedding, after the rehearsal dinner. This is actually quite OK -- I'm in my 30s, as are most of my friends, and I really don't want to have a drunken bash. (Plus the wedding isn't until 7 p.m. the next day.)
My sister, who lives in the area, is my MOH. She's trying to plan the bachelorette party as she's juggling the end of an intensive certification program, so she doesn't have a ton of time to spare. The ideas she's given me are not what I want to do (cocktails at Sullivan's, which I feel is _too_ sedate, and hanging out at a gay bar, which about half of my friends would _not_ be cool with). I don't think she knows Baltimore nightlife too well, just the places she hears about or goes with the guy she's dating, which are a bit different than girls' night out type places.
I was hoping to give my sister some ideas of places that might fit the bill, but I also don't really know downtown Baltimore nightlife at all. (I live right outside DC, but our wedding venue is right outside Baltimore.) I'm just looking for a place that is hip and fun for people in their 30s where we can dance and can get drinks, but can also have a private area roped off. Somewhere that there is more to do than eat (it's right after the rehearsal dinner) and listen to a band, but not the kind of party where the bride gets trashed or has strippers.
And no, I'm not trying to take the planning from my sister. I just think a few ideas of locations might be helpful since she's busy with things that are in the long run more important than bachelorette party planning.
Thanks!
