HELP! Co-ed Bachelore/Bachelorette..

in Moms and Maids
My best friend and my husband's best friend are getting married (to each other) and so we are in charge of planning a co-ed send-off. The problem is that neither of them are big drinkers but the fiance can hold his own, neither wants strippers and they both hate dancing....we are at a loss!

We thought about bowling but we're worried about the expense to get out to the fun bowling alley in Hollywood and getting a limo can become cost un-friendly. We don't want to have to worry about designated drivers so...that's a dilemma. On top of which, my husband and I are staying with family while we purchase a house and they live with their parents and so do most of their friends SO, we can't have a get together at someone's house. It all just seems like Murphy's Law here haha,

Any ideas????

    Laser tag sounds like a fun idea, or a sporting event if they are sports fans.  Beach party?

    What about just having a house party?  That way everyone can relax and enjoy the night, and your bride and groom won't feel uncomfortable.  Pizza and beer and pictionary!

    I don't know what it is that promotes the idea that bachelor and bachelorette parties have to be full of limos and strippers.  The wedding industry I guess.Undecided

    I like the idea of having girls and guys parties seperate, but either way you do it there are lots of ideas that don't involve strippers or spending a fortune. 

    Instead of a limo get a taxi (or if there's a lot of non-drinkers maybe someone can be DD).  Split up a hotel room or all crash at someone's place. Or do something that doesnt' focus on drinking.

    Beach Day
    Spa visit
    camping
    sporting event
    concert
    bowling
    laser tag
    amusement park
    house party
    girly slumber party (i'm thinking chic flics, wine, nail polish and games)
    mini golf
    dinner and drinks

    def check your local board for more specific ideas!
