Bachelorette options for an underage girl

I have a bridesmaid that is 16 years old. All the other girls are in their mid-20's. The 16 year old is my "little sister" through Big Brothers Big Sisters. She has been my little since she was 13, and we have been a great influence in each other's lives. She is so excited to be a bridesmaid, and the other girls are so great with her.

Me and the other girls will definitely be doing a typical wild bachelorette night. Which unfortunately means my little sis won't be able to attend. Should we do something completely different to accommodate her? Or should we go ahead with our wild night, but also plan something additional that she can be included in? What are some good suggestions?

    Lunch/dinner
    Movie (at the theatre or at someone's home)
    Water park
    Spa

    You could do all of these things in the afternoon, and then go out for a "wild night" with the girls who are of age later in the evening.  I went to a bachelorette party of a friend who had three of her H's underage sisters as BMs.  They and their mom joined us for dinner, and then called it a night while those over 21 continued the evening with drinks.

    Bachelorette parties don't have to be a wild and crazy drinking fest. Not that you can't also do that lol. But think outside the box for other things to do that the 16 year old can also do. Along with Libby's ideas, you can go bowling, go to an amusement park, strawberry picking, concert, zoo... the options are pretty much unlimited. I'd see what your bridal party girls are into.

    Bowling. It's a blast for anyone of any age and they often have beer or other beverages for those below and above the legal drinking age. Afterwards, if you guys still want to go out then you can, and your little will still feel like she was involved and got to have fun with you too.

    Remember, what you do is ultimately up to your hostess(es). While you can ask that the event be age-appropriate for the 16 year old, your hostess will choose what she can afford.

    My DH hosted a bachelor party with a groom's request for inclusion of the under-21 crowd. My DH chose to honor the request, but it ended up being really pricey for DH, since he had to add "extra" events. It ended up being a really long day, and a lot of driving around. They did lazer tag and dinner, then the over-21 crowd went out to the bars.

    I was in my teens when 2 of my siblings had their weddings.  We did the spa & dinner thing earlier so I could go, then the over 21 crowd went to the bars.  It was alot of fun! 

    I have an under 21 BM too, so for my party we will have a sleepover movie night w/ snacks and games. It works well for pregnant BM's too who dont want to be in charge of a bunch of drunk girls at the bar!  There are a TON of fun things to do for under 21s and sober friends :)

    One of my BM was 9.  We had dinner out before going to the bars.  She came to the dinner as did the moms.  She then went home with the moms and anyone else who didn't want to come out for the bar portion of the b-party.
