WWSBD?

lu27 · August 2010

Hi ladies,

Im a long-time lurker... and don't usually post, but I'm curious as to what you think.

FI's bachelor party is supposed to be August 28th. The plan is to have the guys (about 20 on the guest list) go to a baseball game and then out for the night. Of course, this means that FI's brother (best man) would need to buy a block of tickets in advance. (not easy to get for Saturday night games) Well, it's only 3 weeks out, and he hasn't sent out the invitations yet. I am concerned that there wont be enough time, and FI's bach party will be a bust. Should I offer to help? FI is really looking forward to having his bachelor party. WWYD?

I should mention that FI's brother is the only groomsman. Also, when his brother got married 2 years ago, FI single handedly put together a really great bachelor party for him.

Thoughts?

Don't worry about this. They're big boys, if they want to party, they will know when and where to be when the time comes.

How much of this planning has your FI's brother actually done? If he's already started the process, I don't see the harm in a quick phone call to see if he needs any help. If he hasn't done anything, I would worry that he has no plan to and wouldn't want to call and imply that he should. Does that make sense?

If you're close to him or at least talk to him regularly, I would just mention how excited your FI is and offer any help.

Ex: "Hey. Tom is so excited about his bachelor party! Let me know if you need any help planning or blocking tickets, making reservations, whatever."

He may not realize the tickets need to be purchased in advance.

This totally makes sense. His wife emailed me on July 31st asking for an address that FI had forgotten on his list. She told me they were going out that weekend. As of yesterday, noone has gotten an invite. Maybe Ill just call and offer my help to see what he says. I just want FI to have a good one, ya know?

Exactly!

Yeah. I'd just call and offer to help. Don't let on that you're concerned about the fact that he's not sent invites. And do boys even send invites for this kind of stuff anyway?

I don't think an e-mail could hurt, since there is supposed to be a plan in place. Like pp said, a quick, "Hey, I just wanted to see if you need any help reserving ball tickets or anything like that. Let me know!"

[Deleted User] · August 2010

I didn't know actual invitations were sent out for bach parties. My H's best man just called people up and said "hey, we'll be here at this time if you want to come party with us."

Fi sent invites for his brothers bach party. And by "invite" I mean a flyer that was printed off the computer. It's just easier that way, given the agenda they have and some of the guys' work schedules. :)

I would just offer, lu. Also, it sounds like the wife is involved too. You could mention it to her too.

Also, stop lurking! Post! It's ok! We're not that bad

LOL that's what I was wondering; I've never gone to a bach party that was anything more formal than a phone call or text message, maybe some emails if it was in a remote location and people needed to get hotels and plane tickets.
