I think its really common to request that guests at the bachelorette wear a certain color - it makes the group look "cohesive". I much prefer a similar color (black) than those corny "bridesmaid" tank tops!!

But why does a group need to look "cohesive"? Why can't a group of friends get together and have a good time without making it a production?

So I didn't read the whole thing but these dictated colors and what not may seem harmless but not really...I was pregnant for my friend's bach. party and too big to wear any of my normal clothes. The organizing bridesmaid decided we all had to wear certain colors for certain things...which meant I had nothing in that color that fit. So I had to go spend way too much on overpriced maternity clothes that I wouldn't be wearing again

Whenever I hear matching outfits, I think of family vacations when I was little so we wouldn't get lost in the airport...

This is absurd. A group of women going out together do not need to look cohesive. It is obvious they are together by the fact that they are generally sitting together and/or how they are acting (ie a rowdy bachelorette party group, if that is what's going on.) And even if it isn't obvious, there is no need for it TO be obvious. Nobody else in the bar, restaurant, spa, movie theater, golf course, or wherever gives a damn who is in someone else's group.

My biggest problem I ran into was when the bride decided to go to a club in a city that had a lot of crime/sexual assaults. We stood out with the bride who was wearing all white, got her bachelorette slash on, etc. and there were strange, creepy men who were groping and molesting us on the dance floor. If we had kept it low key, we wouldn't have made ourselves targets. We drew in negative attention to these men that we had to leave the club EARLY. A lot of us did not want to go back there on the second night after what had happened to us.

I agree with the tank tops though. My bride friend made us wear them to a winery. There were two other bachelorette party groups with us on the tour who were dressed very classy- their own dresses. We all looked like we were apart of some high school JV soccer team with painted T-shirts... at an upscale winery.

Sometimes it is not a good thing to draw too much attention or to make something out of a production.

Just when you think a dress code couldn't be topped, a certain bride posted on her wedding website (yes, the wedding website) the following bachelorette party dress code: a one-piece animal play suit. This is not a joke.

I can't decide whether I'm more horrified or intrigued. What even is that? Does she mean like one piece pajamas? A bathing suit? A unitard?
Does the bride also weart he animal play suit? So many questions.

So I don't know all the details, but the "theme" is Where the Wild Things are and the bach party apparently will include cave dancing. So...

So I have to know...what the hell is cave dancing?? Because the only thing I can think of is some sort of interpretive dance to a Mumford & Sons song while wearing animal "play suits" ...
