At Thanksgiving dinner last night, FI's stepmom L offered to throw me a bachelorette party. Great! Except, well, her idea is to have a bunch of people over to her house, bring some booze, and hire a stripper. So it would be more like a shower, only instead of kitchen gadgets, I'd be getting a banana hammock in the face.
I'm really not comfortable with this. I'd be totally fine with going to the house, drinking, and playing some raunchy games. I wouldn't be thrilled about going out to a strip club of either gender, but I'd manage to have a good time. But I just really don't like the idea of a private stripper. I'm afraid that I'd get so embarrassed that I'd end up in tears, and I'd make L feel bad.
I'm really grateful that she wants to make sure I get a bachelorette party, especially since I'm not sure my MOH is up for it since she had a baby and her husband lost his job. I sort of deflected last night, saying that I think MOH is planning something, and I'll give her L's number.
Any advice? This is really stressing me out, I actually lost sleep last night over this.
This is a neglected planning bio.This is a belated married bio, with no reviews yet because I'm lazy.Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284
